Looks
One of my favorite things is the look
Aged bronze metallic
Two tone is $900
Fake grille
HUGE wheels
21s
4 in longer than camry
Raised ride
4 in taller than camry
Sloped roof
Rear design
Trunk
Reasonably big
But not power opening
Hate the release button
Drop seats from trunk
Why not make it a hatch…? Agree with this and also, if it is marketed towards the older generation, why not have as much assist features as possible?
Rear seats
Black is the only interior
Pano on the platinum & limited trim
Really not that big
No headroom
Only 1 more in legroom than camry
Heated rear seats
No climate zone, but vents
The Ritz
Heated and cooled seats
Heated steering wheel
No usual button
Gold accents are nice
Vertical chargers feel elegant to me
Even if they dont work
Shifter from Lexus LC
Tech things
12 in cluster
Super busy, but not that customizable
No HUD
12 in center screen
Wireless acp & aa
OTA
360 camera
Nice
Change color
Stupid egg view
Price
Starts about 40k
Here it’s almost 55k
That’s a lot
Issues at price point
Trunk is not powered
Hood gets a prop rod
The rear seat isn’t very big
The materials are just kinda cheap
Like honestly, the Venza feels more up-market
Weird little things
The volume knob doesnt stay upright
All the windows are auto up/down
6 drive modes seems like a lot
Cup holder thing comes out
Vanity mirror has card slot in mirror cover
Toyota Crown in headlight
Competitors
VW Arteon
Dead
Kia Stinger
Also dead
