What do you get in this 2022 Toyota Venza Limited? Perfectly pleasant driving, a calm atmosphere, useful technologies, plenty of comforts and even a neat trick or two. No, this is definitely not a vehicle for enthusiasts. But, yes, this is a vehicle for most everyone else. Nice middle of the road size and space. It comes at a reasonable cost. And the hybrid powertrain even keeps the fuel bill down.

In this video, I take you through the car, show you what features are offered and how they work. And then I take you on a drive to get a sense of how well it handles, the quality of the ride, and the overall experience.
