Used 2023 Toyota Venza SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Toyota Venza is a midsize SUV that comes with more standard features than most vehicles in its segment. It's offered exclusively as a hybrid with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (total output of 219 horsepower) and all-wheel drive, and it comes in four trim levels: LE, XLE, Nightshade Edition and Limited. Highlight features include:

LE
The Venza LE is nicely equipped for a base model, including:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Heated, power-folding side mirrors
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Keyless entry (front doors only) with push-button ignition
  • 4.2-inch driver information display
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat

You also get these tech features:

  • 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa compatibility
  • Satellite radio
  • Connected services with access to a Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Wireless smartphone charging
  • Four USB ports
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

All Venzas come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+. It includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Venza and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

XLE
The XLE takes things up a notch with:

  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • LED foglights
  • Roof rails
  • Keyless entry for the rear doors
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • 7-inch driver information display
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror with programmable garage door opener
  • Heated front seats
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Nightshade Edition
The Nightshade Edition is a Venza XLE with blacked-out trim and wheels.

Limited
The Limited trim bumps the Venza up in luxury by adding:

  • Perforated simulated leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Venza and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Navigation system
  • Nine-speaker JBL audio system

Some of the features on the Limited are optionally available on the XLE. You can upgrade the Limited with:

Star Gaze panoramic roof

  • Glass switches between clear and frost-tinted with the push of a button
  • Electrochromic sunshade (think transition lenses)
  • Removes the roof rails if equipped

Which Venza trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the base LE trim for its low starting price and impressive complement of advanced driver assist features.
