2013 Toyota Venza Preview

By ,

Toyota believes that customers who are looking for a bold, luxurious and refined family vehicle will be interested in their 2013 Venza crossover.


The Venza first appeared as a 2009 model, and is essentially a crossover version of the very popular Toyota Camry sedan.

Since Toyota launched a new Camry last year, it was inevitable that a new Venza would also be in the works. Back in April, at the 2012 New York International Auto Show , Toyota pulled the covers off its new Venza which sports refreshed styling and some added convenience features.

Standard features on all models now include a 6.1” infotainment screen with satellite Radio, plus auxiliary input jacks for your iPod or MP3 player. All devices can be accessed via the vehicle’s voice recognition system.

All-wheel-drive versions of the Venza are available with Touring and Touring + JBL option packages, which add HID headlights with LED daytime running lights, driver’s seat position memory, reverse tilt exterior mirrors and navigation.

Along with the 3.5L V6 engine that produces 268 hp, the Venza will also be available with a 2.7L, inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 182 hp; both engines can be chosen with front-wheel or all-wheel drivetrains. The only transmission offered on all models is a 6-speed automatic.

The 2013 Venza will go on sale within the next few weeks. The base version will cost $28,690, while a fully loaded V6 AWD model will retail fort $39,550.
