I saw one in person recently and it looked really low to the ground compared to other crossovers and SUVs I’m used to. I’m still looking to take a test drive.

I test drove it and hated it...felt like I was driving a station wagon.

Toyota Camry is from the Japanese word for Crown.
Toyota Corolla means (in Latin) little Crown.

This. Probably the best front wheel drive crossover out there.

If you want AWD, there are other options.

And this is relevant to a car sold in the US, how?

Camry chassis platform and running gear. Boringly reliable.

My BIL loves his.

You'll want to compare it with a RAV4 Hybrid. Same drivetrain, same size, but the Venza is kind of a Lexus lite (nicer materials, more sound-deadening, better noise/vibration/handling).

Does anyone have one or has test driven one? I’m starting to think about a new car and want a hybrid and this one intrigues me. Would love to hear any thoughts.

Thanks
