Toyota Venza
Select a Year
(2 available)
The 2012 Toyota Venza wagon is offered in three trims this year, a change from last year's single trim offering. LE and XLE trim levels will be offered with a choice of 4- or 6-cyinder engines, while the Limited is available only with the V6; all versions offer the choice of front drive or all-wheel drive (AWD).
Outside of a simplified option package list, there are no major changes for the 2011 Toyota Venza.
Call it a crossover or even a Camry wagon, but just don't call it nothing new. The 2009 Toyota Venza sits squarely in-between the automaker's best-selling Camry Sedan and Highlander SUV, borrowing elements from both. The result is a vehicle that has plenty of room for five, is easy to get in and out of, has respectable fuel economy and possesses the ground clearance of a much taller vehicle. While the Venza isn't the first – nor will it be the last – car to blur the lines between segments, it certainly offers a well-rounded package at a great price that would suit most people's needs. In a growing and increasingly popular vehicle landscape that includes the Nissan Murano, Ford Edge and Mazda CX-7, the Venza shines with a healthy roster of standard equipment, a competitive price, and Toyota's reputation for quality and stellar resale value.

"I have had this car for almost 2 years now and have driven it just over 30k miles. The car is great and I have never had any regrets in purchasing it. Ii offers very good performance, is very roomy for everyone (front and back), and a joy to drive. Everyone who has been in my Venza comments on how much they like it. This review is based on a loaded v6 AWD version."

"I have owned this vehicle 7 months and hands down I would pick it over my wife's Acura MDX. It has more leg room and rides smoother than the MDX by far. As for the snappy 3.5 liter 268 hp motor, it has all the get up I would ever want. 75-80 mph is an easy cruse speed for this 6 speed trans. I have nothing but good to say about the car. Only down side is body trim. Toyota needs to come out with some factory body trim to highlight this wonderful car. I have driven both Acura and Toyota vehicles for the last 10 years and would have stayed with Acura until I saw and drove this car. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone."

"I don't like the back up camera, and there are some blind spots you have to get used to (adding small mirror to side mirrors helps), but it drives like a dream with good pick up, and is comfortable. enough room in the back for dogs. It is a Toyota, so I suspect it will last many years. Gas milage isn't great...17 city, 24 highway. All in all not a bad car for 31,000 dollars"
