2021 Toyota Venza Vs. 2021 Lexus NX300h – Which is the Better Lexus SUV?

Platform sharing among automakers is nothing new. Sometimes, we find rare instances when the mainstream brand actually ends up being better than the luxury offering. The #LexusNX300h has long been a fine choice for buyers looking for a comfortable and efficient compact SUV to handle your daily commute but for 2021, the #ToyotaVenza is back in hybrid only form and with a new interior that could easily wear a #Lexus badge on the steering wheel. Its an internal rivalry for #Toyota and Lexus, until a next generation #LexusNX comes out.

Happy Saturday everyone! Today we find ourselves with a Toyota Vs Lexus dilemma. With a nearly $7, 000 price difference, do you guys feel the Lexus badge NX to be worth the premium over the new Venza? Let us know what you think below!

Cmon guys, Lexus has the real clock in the middle of the console - that's where the 7K difference is. In 2021 that IS the feature we need most!

dang, huge amount of information in a short period of time, and so well executed! Thank you so much! You talk really FAST, but somehow I was able to keep up :) How do you spit all that info out so quick!? Very impressive! Bought a Venza...very happy with it so far!

Great video! Thanks for the amazing review!!! So much detail! I was looking forward to test driving the Venza the instant it came out...I still have yet to. It really is near perfect for a refined drive around town. I am glad the Venza was brought back!

SUPER! Your timing is excellent as I just got out of a Venza test drive and was really, really impressed. Off to pick one up this weekend!

The subtle shade “ if you want more cargo space get a toyota rav4” 🤣🤣

Lexus has a entire new lineup that’s a literally around the corner including all new turbo charge F models and a new design philosophy.

I chose the Venza and love it! Best of both worlds!

Excellent review/comparison, just subscribed. In fact, we are starting to shop and had not considered the Venza. Personally, I’m not a fan of CVTs no matter how manufacturers try to fake-in shifting modes.

Wearing the plate matters to some people. Just like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc. Lexus would be the way to flaunt, but the Toyota Venza here is quite a beauty and very Lexus like with a much affordable price!

I moved from a 2015 NX to a 2021 Venza. The hybrid takes some getting used to but really does great in most driving conditions. The Lexus has more luxury features but overall I am much happier with the new Venza.

I have a 2019 NX300H and a 2010 Venza. Both are great but looking to upgrade the 2010 Venza so I can relate to this video in terms of the Lexus, every word is spot on. I think it might be time to test drive the new Venza.

A new Redline Comparison is a good way to start the morning!

[Sean_R_Coombs]

The way you got those turn signals to blink in unison. 👌

[NovaResource]

Fantastic review Sofyan. Thank you. 👍🏻

[OlumideJIBO]

The number of times you mentioned Rav4, one would think you're reviewing the Rav 4, lol. Nice work

[whizzalong]

I still have my 2012 Toyota Venza and by far one of the best vehicles I have owned. Extremely reliable, very roomy and I like the nice wide stance the vehicle has. I'm happy to see that Toyota brought them back.

I got my wife the Venza limited, the only thing I can complain is the flog lights since it already has a spot for it and the rear heated seats. The drive of the Venza is just as good as the German cars.

[JogBird]

thank you for mentioning the pricing up front

I got my wife a LE and it is the nicest car either of us has ever owned . Plenty of gadgets and the LE has the better heater controls . I'm trying to sell my two Prius and her jeep and I'm getting me a red LE . I think it's a spectacular value . Reminds me of the older buicks quiet, soft, effortlessly goes down the road I love it.
