About Toyota Venza
It’s unclear whether the Venza is a crossover SUV or wagon; some journalists refer to it as the “Camry station wagon” (the successor to the 1991–1996 Camry wagon, the last generation to offer this style in Canada and the United States), while other sources frequently refer to it simply as a new type of “crossover.” According to Toyota, the Venza combines the “style and comfort of a sedan with the versatility of a sport utility vehicle.” Venza, according to Toyota, is neither a station wagon nor an SUV; rather, it is aimed at customers who want more space and flexibility than the Camry sedan but prefer a smaller vehicle than the Highlander, a three-row mid-size crossover SUV. Toyota identifies the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima as the Venza’s competitors on their website’s comparison page, both of which are popular mid-size sedans. Meanwhile, the Venza is classified as a sport utility vehicle by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Toyota informed automotive publisher Motor Trend that it decided not to enter the Venza in the magazine’s SUV of the Year competition.
Toyota proposed that the Venza be considered for the Car of the Year award. Motor Trend determined that the Venza should be disqualified from all competitions due to its ride height being too high to qualify as a car.
