Ordered mine back in June. Finally arriving at the port today and ready for delivery in about 2 weeks. My wife wanted the Ruby Red Flare Limited, black interior, with the stargaze roof. Took about 7 months for the dealership to secure one, according to them this is the only one allocated within a 500 mile radius.
I have a 22 XLE. We have put a couple of road-trips on it for a total of 26K miles. It is a pleasure to drive. Overall, I am very happy with it. My biggest disappointment is the passenger seat is not power. One can really appreciate the hybrid power train when gas peaks at $6+ per gallon. In the future, I hope they expand the lineup to include a PHEV.
This is the exact Venza I picked up two weeks ago. Love everything about it except the tires. Be careful when it rains because they tend to hydroplane which probably means they will be awful in the Wisconsin winter. Why Toyota would put such poor tires on a vehicle is beyond me. Tire Rack even rates these as poor on wet or snowy roads. With the price of vehicles today you would think they could at least give you a good set of tires. ☹️
If you don't like the tires they put on, you could try to ask the dealer if they could swap for something better... chances are they will work with you or tell you we can't do that. Or.... you'll have to "pay" for it out of pocket. Personally, I wouldn't buy from the dealer.... if tire rack recommends something better, use them.
It probobly should have had that option, but I've had 6 cars with sun roofs and have opened them a total of 6 times. The StarGaze is the coolest thing ever if you have it and a waste of money if you don't. 🤣🤣👍👍
Sorry but the transmission is an eCVT transmission. It's not the same as CVT transmissions. No locking glove box! What? You didn't mention anything about prices or about mpg that i noticed???
RAV4 is too boxey and we are empty nesters so the lost space was of no concern. We drove the NX and bought the Limited Venza for $14k less. If you could close your eyes, you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference. The NX has 20 more HP, but it also weights more. Everyone says the Venza is slow. NOT.... Its faster than my 6cyl Highlander, The 2024 CRV, beats the 2024 CX50 base and the CX50 Hybrid with its Toyota engine🤣. Just 1 second slower than the CX50 Turbo & blows its doors off in MPG. Sorento Hybrid is just .5 sec faster. Toyota reliability blows them all away.

No power passenger seat = one less repair bill.
Price in India & waiting period?

no opening roof option? Show-stopper
It's a $2000 option 😊

It’s not a cvt,,, it’s a EV T big difference
If you don't need the extra room of a RAV4 Hybrid, the Venza is more like a Lexus badged as a Toyota.
Yeah. The Lexus 350H is the exact same car except leather seats and about $20,000 more.
Cvt?
It’s ecvt. Quite different from traditional cvt.

Undersized brakes.
Its a hybrid, not supposed to drive it faster than 60 for optimal mpg. Thus smaller brakes
