About Toyota Venza
The Toyota Venza, designed to bridge the gap between its smaller RAV4 and larger Highlander crossover siblings, has struggled to find a devoted following since its debut in 2009. Even the Venza’s creator was unsure what to make of it. Toyota officials couldn’t bring themselves to call the Camry sedan-based Venza a crossover when it was introduced as a replacement for the first-generation, two-row Highlander.
Toyota claimed the Venza was neither a car, a station wagon, nor an SUV, even going so far as to claim the Venza had “no direct competitors in the market… a new kind of vehicle… a segment buster,” blatantly ignoring obvious rivals such as the Ford Edge or Nissan Murano. Eight model years later, it appears that new car buyers are still perplexed by the five-passenger, midsize, four-door Toyota c-r-o-s-s-o-v-e-r.
Designed to help prevent collisions and increase road safety, available automatic high beams use a windshield-mounted camera to detect oncoming traffic at night. When a vehicle is approaching, the AHB will automatically switch to low beams. Once you have passed the vehicle, the Automatic High Beams will switch back on.
For easier loading and unloading, the rear door opens high and wide. Every Venza features a power assisted trunk closer that locks the door securely even when not firmly pushed down. To make opening the trunk even easier, the Venza XLE and Limited include a power rear door with jam protection, allowing you to open and close it with the press of a button – a handy feature when your hands are full.
Venza’s interior is spacious, with refined touches, like simulated woodgrain trim, and innovative, like an 8-way power adjustable driver seat with memory and available 4-way power adjustable seat for the front passenger (Limited Package). There’s also the one-touch fold down, which folds the rear seats into a 60:40 configuration conveniently activated with one tug of the lever.
New for 2016, Toyota delivers the Venza Redwood Edition, featuring rich brown leather seat surfaces with perforated heated front seats and unique special edition badging. Available on XLE models in Blizzard Pearl, Magnetic Grey Metallic, and Midnight Black Metallic exterior colours.
