2013 Toyota Venza Reviews and Specs

2013 Toyota Venza Reviews and Specs - If you prefer a hatch to a trunk, and want a vehicle that rides just a bit higher but all those requisite rugged cues on so many crossovers and utility vehicles are turnoffs the 2013 Toyota Venza might be one of the better vehicles to put on your shortlist.

In lieu of a Camry Wagon, the Venza occupies a middle ground somewhere between the Camry, the mid-size Highlander crossover, the more luxurious Lexus RX, and the somewhat smaller, more rugged-looking RAV4. But opposed to the Highlander or RAV4, the Venza makes absolutely no claim to the off-road trail. And while you can get third-row seating in both the Highlander and the RAV4, the Venza only has two rows of (albeit very comfortable seating) and its mission is quite different compared to those straightforward utility wagons.

Toyota gives the Venza a mid-cycle refresh of sorts for 2013, but it's mainly one of reshuffled features and options. You'd be challenged to pick up on the design differences between the 2012 and 2013 Venza models perhaps even at the dealership. Styling changes of the 2013 Venza are limited to some detail changes in front new grille, new taillight design and a new 19-inch wheel design. There are also three new colors for the Venza on the outside Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl, and Cosmic Gray Mica as well as one new interior shade.

What's under the hood is essentially unchanged. There are four-cylinder and V-6 models, and both are offered with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The base engine makes 182 horsepower from 2.4 liters, while the V-6 makes 268 hp. The mileage difference isn't all that great between the two, with four-cylinder Venzas rating up to an EPA 21 mpg city, 27 highway (or as low as 18/25 for the V-6 AWD). Both engines get the same available all-wheel drive system, configured for on-road tractability, and on V-6 models there's an available Towing Prep Package (to tow up to 3,500 pounds).

2013 Toyota Venza offers three trim levels namely LE, XLE and Limited value. LE and XLE models offer standard features that is a combination of powertrain: a four-cylinder, V6, front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD); Toyota Venza Limited is powered by a V6 engine only, the front wheel or all-wheel drive drive configuration. Value has been enhanced and simplified ordering of raw materials with the addition of many standard features in all three classes.

Interior and Exterior of 2013 Toyota Venza :
Part wagon, part utility vehicle, the Toyota Venza embodies what a major part of the SUV market has evolved into and it wears this transformation on its sleeve.

The Venza picks up just a bit, from the outside, on the butch stance of a few select older models like the AMC Eagle, but for the most part it's something completely modern and handsome, splitting the difference between tall wagons and hatchbacks.
