This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the Toyota Venza hybrid and the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid.The Hyundai Santa Fe is almost 2 inches longer and wider than the Toyota Venza and over 2 inches taller. The Toyota Venza comes with a 2.5L 4-cylinder gas engine with Toyota’s Hybrid system; producing 219 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid has a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 6 speed automatic paired with an electric motor, 226 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Both are AWD only. They both come with similar standard features like an 8” touchscreen, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto on the Santa Fe and wired on the Venza. The top trim on the Hyundai will get you ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, a 10.25” touchscreen and a 12.3” digital driver display. The middle trim on the Venza comes with the 12.3” touchscreen, a 7” driver display and a power liftgate with kick sensor. There is no sunroof option on the Venza, a fixed panoramic glass roof with frost control is on the top trim. There is no JD Power rating available for the Toyota Venza or Santa Fe Hybrid. But, the 2021 Santa Fe gas model gets an overall score of 83/100 and for quality and reliability 86/100. I thought I would throw in the RAV4 Hybrid rating since it shares the same platform and engine. It gets an overall rating of 80/100 and for quality and reliability 74. CarEdge states the Venza will retain 62% of its value after 5 years and the 2021 Santa Fe gas model, (the Hybrid is not available) 51% of its value. The Venza gets better fuel economy than the Santa Fe at 6.1L/100km, 39 MPG combined and 7.4L/100km, 32 MPG for the Hyundai.
The Santa Fe starts at $39,299 CAD/$33,650 USD and the top trim is $43,799CAD/$39,950 USD.
The Venza starts at $38,490 CAD/$32,570 USD and the top trim is $47,690 CAD/$39,900 USD.

I love the hybrids and the PHEVs! I’m always waiting for the comparison videos between hybrid cars and I’m glad to see you guys did it again! Very informational, thank you!
Oh good, thank you for this! Glad you enjoyed it.
I just leased the Santa Fe Hybrid Limited. In some areas it is better than my Volvo XC 90. Beautiful interior, brownish, big screens. Just gorgeous.
J’ai hâte de recevoir la mienne pour la semaine prochaine
Venza exterior + engine + Santa Fe interior = champion’s car
I could only pray that Toyota could utilize that whole screen for CarPlay and giving us a 360 camera from this decade instead of the last one. But that’s proven as difficult as landing humans on Mars.
Bought the Venza limited with the roof and heads up. Wow great vehicle and amazing MPGs!! First Toyota first hybrid. Awesome vehicle!
Congratulations, enjoy! It is a terrific vehicle.
Always the best content. I don't even watch other reviewers much anymore.
Oh I LOVE this, thank you!
WOW your content is amazing! Every day there is something new on this channel, I don't know how you guys do it. Thanks for all your hard work, these reviews are so informative and very entertaining. I really love this channel
Thank you very much for the support and your kind words.
Love your reviews thank you
Another great comparison review Andrea and Zack! Really like the exterior of the Venza, looks very upscale, the interior let's it down a bit, not as upscale as the exterior. Toyota if you are listening give the Venza the PHEV RAV4 drive train!!!
That would be great, a Venza Prime!
I have driven the Rav4 and Venza hybrid. I am 6' tall and felt cramped in the seat and head room. We have a 2018 Highlander XLE and going down to the Rav4 or the Venza, we would have to sacrifice a lot of comfort in our long distance drives and a lot less cargo room for suit cases, instruments and computer cases. I was not impressed with the Venza for all the same reasons. I then went to the Hyundai dealer next door to Toyota, and looked first at the the Tucson. It felt bigger, spacious and more comfortable the both the Rav4 and Venza. It certainly had more features and creature comforts. The seats felt bigger and I didn't feel cramped. The panoramic roof was pretty awesome as well. It was just a bit too small for what we needed in our next vehicle. I then looked at the Santa Fe (which by size was almost as big as my 2007 Highlander). I need a vehicle that would replace my 07 Highlander and fit in that spot in my garage, the Santa Fe fits that bill. Although my garage is almost 900 square feet, I park my wife's Highlander normal, but my car had to be parked at an angle because the entry to the house is in the middle and it's just a lot easier parking on an angle.
I had the salesman do the driving because I wanted to see how comfortable the passenger and rear seat were on the drive. Plus he knew all the good stuff and tricks. The ride is superior to the Toyotas. Much more smooth. We looked at the the Santa Fe, AWD, Limited (all the bells and whistles). Performance, looks, features and price, all in favor of Hyundai. Toyota has a reputation for being pretty much bullet proof when it comes to engine and transmission, but the sacrifice is definitely styling and features. I like the idea of a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid and cost wise the Hyundai Santa Fe is the best value for the money. Even the base unit has more features than the top trim of Rav4 or Venza.
Sorry for this droneing on, but the bottom line is I will have to wait for the Santa Fe as there is still a chip shortage. I have the luxury of time on my hand and I don't need a new vehicle yesterday. I told the salesman, don't call me with anything else other than a Hybrid or a Plug-in Hybrid. I already got 2 calls for other vehicles I'm not interested in. It doesn't look like I will buy a new car until the summertime.
Excellent video, as always. I've been shopping compact hybrids for over a year and am waiting for a PHEV Escape or Tucson. Have not test driven new Tucson or Santa Fe hybrids yet. I prefer the handling/driving dynamics and efficiency of Escape over Rav4 and Venza, which emphasize comfort over handling.
You have got to test drive the Tucson Hybrid and Santa Fe Hybrid. My favourite is the Tucson Hybrid.
I got the hybrid limited a few days back. Love it!! Decent fuel economy, plush interior and plenty of features
Update, how are you liking it?
I'm in a toss up between that and the Calligraphy; But I read that there are a few people having issues with the Hybrid Limited from Hyundai.
@@gs8259 im looking to get a santa fe too. How do you like yours?
Love your reviews. I wonder why reviewers don't talk about voice commands to do what buttons/ touch controls do. It seems safer to push one button on the steering wheel and give a command like FM radio on, etc.
Great video you two! Thanks.
Thank you, glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Nice review! Though I think santa fe and Rav4 actually belong to different categories as santa fe is larger and offered globally as a 7 seater while the other is purely a 5 seater and an overall smaller SUV.
Santa fe generally competes in larger segment.
They both are Good vehicles ! I still stick with Hyundai Tucson hybrid even know any Toyota vehicles are the winner on gas mileage. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!
@@andreaspencer9813 You are a very welcome Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻
A Venza Limited owner. It’s easy to forget you are driving a hybrid. Good acceleration from a light, excellent acceleration from a freeway ramp onto the freeway. You wouldn’t know you are driving a CVT. I really like the infotainment center. After a few weeks, easy to use. Looks futuristic without knobs. Steering wheel controls volume. I have climate, audio and Nav as my 3 screens. If I need Nav help, I just swipe Nav and its 2/3 of the screen. Funny, people use tablets all the time, then complain about having to swipe the Venza screen.
Just bought my Venza Limited. Love the infotainment centre, I agree just like a tablet & futuristic. Fantastic vehicle.
What about the noise
which one is quitter on the road? which one has better handling?
I Love Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
Does Toyota not rate the total torque?? That seems like such a low number hecause my Camry is rated at the same and it feels like a lot more
I’m so doubtful of the reliability score on the rav4 compared to the Hyundai
Santa Fe for family of 4 school run camping hockey soccer practice shopping and all.
While Venza on the other hand design for empty nesters who care less for space torque converter 6 speed auto or not, don't need extra low end torque don't need better awd system for light off roading whatsoever but a stylish lifestyle commuter
I will pick the Santafe hybrid 🥰😍🤩
Santa Fe hybrid DOES have HUD
Not the Hybrid in Canada
This is a great idea for a comparison video. I’d take the Santa Fe... even though I have had many Toyotas in the past. Never really liked Venza styling.
But ... I’d still take the Ultimate Hybrid Tucson over this Santa Fe :)
Me too, I would take the Tucson Hybrid.
Hello guys, your channel is fantastic and the place is beautiful, I am from California. I just wonder what is the brand and model of the car that you are sitting in when you do the comparison it looks fantastic and comfortable. Please if you can share this information it will be so much appreciated. One point that I have you know you have a lot of viewer like me in the USA when you talk about prices can you please say if it is in Canadian dollars or American dollars (only when you talk because in the price list is ok) Thank you for all these greats videos.
Hi Dan, we are sitting in our Porsche Cayenne for these. We do list prices in both CDN and USD
@@Motormouth... Thank you so much for your fast answer!! I just subscribed to your channel I hope this helps you keep doing these fantastic videos guys! Have a wonderful day
Thanks for the sub means a lot!
Seems kind of an odd comparison, but then what other vehicle is in the same category as the Santa Fe? It's bigger than a "compact SUV" yet smaller the the "midsize SUVs". I heard and read that the official mpg rating for the Santa Fe may be a bit low. I've seen reviews getting upper 30s mpg and one that actually was slightly over 40 in town if driven conservatively. I'm getting a 2023 Santa Fe hybrid because the wait for a hybrid Tucson or Sportage is way too long. When I got in the Santa Fe as an alternative I was really impressed by the interior. It is more roomy, more attractive, the seats are clearly bigger and more comfortable and I also like the button controls. Also, a set of golf clubs will fit horizontally in the Santa Fe but have to be angled diagonally in the Tucson and Sportage. Also, these days, you get more bang for your buck than with a Toyota or Honda.
Good review but i like toyota venza. Thanks!👍🏽
Cm you compare the Venza and the Honda crv
Novelty Would Wear Off Very Quickly, Just Another Gimmick Plus it Adds Weight to the Vehicle & Lesser MPG, Overall 🤔🙂
Even with the heavy sunroof the Venza will get at least 18% better gas mileage. That's quite a bit of fuel savings annually.
I think you guys do a good job on your videos, however the torque rating you gave for the Venza is only for the internal combustion engine running at peak output, which the computer hardly ever lets happen (163ft/lbs).
During rapid acceleration power is sent to the rear motor generator as well so the torque output is much higher.
Motor generator 2, which drives the vehicle most of the time, provides 149 ft/lbs and motor generator 3, which drives the rear wheels is rated at an additional 89 ft/lbs. (That's 238 combined.)
Due to the continuous computer control of output it's nearly impossible to say what the actual amount of torque being provided at any given time is.
Being an Atkinson cycle internal combustion engine the computer tries to maintain 40% thermal efficiency at all times to do that the internal combustion engine output is limited to a maximum of around 90 horsepower most of the time.
Suffice to say it's some percentage of the total 400 plus connected foot pounds and is much higher than the 163ft/lbs listed by Toyota for the output of the internal combustion engine alone.
(Motor generator 1 is rated at 40 ft lb, but it's mainly used to charge the high voltage battery and to intermittently start the internal combustion engine.)
Thanks for this!
In times Square, which hybrids do u see in the taxis? If future proofing is in mind, there is only one winner here, focussing on the engine. Good review team. Love that Toyota and Honda finally have decent competition.
I just traded in my 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Limited for a 2024 Honda CRV Sport Hybrid Touring Limited. With the Hyundai I had engine oil leak problems from the engine pan, and the hybrid would go dead, complete battery drain, when parked for two weeks in my garage, while gone on vacation. Leaving me stranded, and waiting for Hyundai roadside assistance.
I had to wait two months to get an appointment for Service from my local Hyundai dealer. And after inspection, they said there’s nothing wrong - That this is perfectly normal for Hyundai hybrid. I even insisted they bring the mechanic out to tell me that to my face - he said the same. Service even suggested that while on vacation or traveling, I remote start my car ( by internet ) even if it’s parked in my garage to recharge the battery. I said not only is that a carbon monoxide problem, ( and a fire hazard ) to have an unsupervised vehicle running in a closed garage.
I told the Service manager, “Don’t piss on my shoes and tell me that it’s raining.” That’s neither normal, or acceptable. I left the Hyundai dealership and went next-door to the Honda dealership, traded the Santa Fe, and bought my CRV. Bye-bye Hyundai.
I usually hold onto my cars for a long time. I traded my Subaru Outback at 12 years; my Honda Ridgeline pickup truck is seven years old and running strong, but when it came to my brand new Hyundai hybrid, I got rid of it when it was one year old, and 12,000 miles on the odometer. The combination of mechanical problems, failure to honor warranty for repairs (deny, deny, deny) and awful waiting facilities. Six small chairs, a coffee pot, in a tiny room with a bathroom that’s been broken for over six months. That convinced me it was time to part company with Bud Clarey Hyundai, and the brand itself. Buyer beware.
I don't believe the Toyota Venza is recommended to tow anything? Zero towing capacity. I own one and really like everything about it. Also own a Rav4
Santa Fe is a winner overall!,,,
I am not sure why but after 3 tanks, I am getting 1550 km. This is starting from the day I bought it. Any suggestions as to what’s happening??
Which car?
@@rosepaul9681 , Venza, but it seems that it has improved quite a bit now. Must be my driving style.
@@pwling888 Do you have the predictive driving on in settings? I saw a video where the car learns your driving routes and style over time. It's supposed to enhance performance.
@@rosepaul9681 , thanks for the prompt response. I know about that feature but didn’t know that it is something I have to turn ON. Not even sure how to find that option.
@@pwling888 I think it was a You tuber, How to Car Guy. I have a venza ordered and have been watching tutorials to learn ahead. I think he used the big screen under settings. You might be able to find predictive driving via the steering wheel too. Good luck. It might be on already.
Absolutely LOVING my 2021 Toyota Venza. They worked with me to get a loaded Limited b/c it was the only one available in the Chicagoland area lmao. I came from a 2018 Mazda6 Sport, then a 2019 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium Limited, and now the Venza! Easily the car of my dreams! I’m thinking I got a great lease deal, if either of you are available for me to DM to confirm that 😂❤️🙌🏻
Too bad the Venza doesn’t have more interior room than the RAV4. How about comparing lower trim levels of these cars, like the Santa Fe blue hybrid. Not everyone likes panoramic sunroofs. The only time I use the moonroof on my Subaru legacy is when parked, tilting it a bit to let hot air escape.
I test drove the ford escape hybrid and it was garbage imo, screaming go no where engine with no passing power at all.
I didn't mind it, Zack and I went on a road trip, it was really comfortable.
@@andreaspencer9813 If they used a turbo charged engine with some actual power it would have been far better IMO.
Towing capacity of Venza is Zero. Tow and the warranty is void.
First
CVT + Hybrid = better MPG doesn’t means the better tach.
"that reliable hybrid system", Venza being its 1st model year, are you just saying that or are you based on less than a year worth of reliability history?
Venza was being sold as a Harrier in other countries. It's been around longer than a year.
The JD Power scores are useless. The Santa Fe gets a better score but the Toyota crushes it on resale value. Which one do you think I care about more? Especially, in our current economy.
I wonder if people’s real world fuel economy will be even worse on the Santa Fe if you are always rocketing around
That's true of any vehicle, if you drive it like you stole it. :)
i love Toyota venza
Out of these two I like Andrea better hahahaha
Toyota vehicles, compared to Hyundai vehicles, will depreciate about $1000 LESS every year. That is amazing.
The base model of the Venza does come with hard buttons but a smaller screen. Great comparison. The Venza is kind of an in between model. Bigger than a compact but not really a midsize. I think I would still go for the Toyota hybrid reliability. But will be curious to see how the Tucson hybrid does because I do like the looks. Thank you for your amazing videos.
UPDATE: We went with the Venza. Still waiting for our vehicle to come to Canada (dark blue exterior with light grey interior Limited edition). Can't wait.
Thank you for your kinds words, glad you are enjoying our content.
"You know what you're getting when you're getting Toyota". Overpriced Nissan CVTs?
When it comes to santa fe or venza. I think people have to go with santa fe. This kind of suvs are all about interior . Despite the fact that Toyota’s background coming from garment industry Santa fe offers better interior . Go figure
Not for me. I would take the Toyota all day long.
@@ivalterbaptista2305 not for me. Hyundai all day since it's better and not too boring
@Jean Toronto Raptors you like boring cars
Hyundai will be Hyundai no matter what
@@omarsfo1 find a new material before you start trolling little boi
The Santa Fe hybrid is waaaay better👍
I'd choose the Venza
9:07 JD Power ratings are BS, it's based on only first 90 days of use, whereas most consumers are concerned about long-term reliability. We don't buy cars to keep them for only 90 days, do we?
JD Power is based on 3 years
The only thing that would stop me from buying either is that the turn signals are in the bumpers. Why are more companies doing this?! I’m guaranteed to get rear ended by a distracted driver
I think it should it be the Tucson hybrid instead of the Santa Fe
I would pick the Venza. The exterior looks amazing.
Toyota: gives customer a beautiful 11 inch touch screen
Also Toyota: underpays software engineer and even CarPlay only takes up 8 inch.
Also also Toyota: not giving you wireless CarPlay, but gives you a wireless charge pad.
Me: Toyota, May I please have a great infotainment system?
Toyota: Fuck you no, because you are going to buy my car anyway.
Does Toyota develop its software in house?
@@wyw201 In house or not, it sucks. Either give me a lag free infotainment which connects well to third party apps like google map and Spotify directly like NIO and Tesla, or like Hyundai give me a high resolution lag free touch screen to use CarPlay. Or just skip the screen at all, I could live with that too. The best infotainment they have are the third party one on the new gr86 and the bmw one on Supra. Toyota is a multi billion dollar cooperation, there is no excuse for that.
@@franksun4017 Toyota is a strange one, I've seen different head unit OS used in North America, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and China. Some uses matte screens, some uses glossy screens. Not only are panels and head unit suppliers different, even speaker providers are different. My guess is Toyota needs to outsource to less regional vendors.
@@wyw201 They just don’t care about it, that’s all.
Hyundai takes a back seat to Toyota on hybrids. Toyota all the way on this one due to reasons that will become apparent after a few years of ownership.
not really. Hyundai is better
@@maga6319 prius is 20 years old. That's all that needs to be said
@@maga6319 Toyota much better than Hyundai. My friend is an Engineer who works for Hyundai and trust me after what he told me about thier quality control, you would change your mind.
@@panama2468 nope Toyota's are not reliable like they used to. Hyundai has surpassed them
@@hss8973 nice fanfiction kid. Toyota reliability has dropped drastically last year. Hyundai has surpassed them
Toyota Venza all the way!!! There’s no comparison. Toyota has the best resale value on top of building great dependable vehicles.
Not at all. Hyundai is way better than this boring Toyota. Hyundai is way more better than a boring toyota.
@@maga6319 Okay … how is Hyundai better than a “boring Toyota”?
@@r.m.s.605 tell me? What's so bad about Hyundai? Don't tell me it's unreliable junk like how you toyota fangirls be saying
@@maga6319 I asked you about Hyundai first. Can’t answer my question? I can already see where this is headed hahaha good luck with your Hyundai bud lol.
@@r.m.s.605 LOL you see. You got no answer because i already answer it for you. Now go back to your boring toyota
J.D. Power rating is a joke!
Venza looks so much better
My wife purchased a Hyundai sonata hybrid limited 3 months ago and it's a piece of junk. All the fancy electronic features are glitchy and can't be trusted to work at all.
Cruise doesn't work
Navigation doesn't work
LKAS doesn't work
There are beeps, bells, and dings, that go off and random times for no reason at all.
Hyundai's answer is to turn off those features.
I can't express my frustration
Every car maker has lemons. I’m on my 4th Hyundai and included a Genesis and now the ‘22 Santa Fe Hybrid. We have never had any issues whatsoever with any of their cars dating back to 2011. I actually traded in a ‘20 Toyota RAV4 for the Santa Fe. Glad I did.
TOYOTA VENZA 😎👍🏻
hyundai santa fe
Toyota! 토요타렉서스 굿굿 ♥
어글리 코리안
Still a Hyundai…
better than a toyota.
Santa Fe is truly fugly.
