Specifications & Summary

Summary

At this point you are dying to ask, "What is the Venza?" Let us answer that question. Call it a wagon. Call it a crossover. Call it the lovechild of a Camry-Highlander romantic evening in Tokyo. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter what you call the Toyota Venza, as long as it works for your needs. It's not about strictly more cargo room or better gas mileage. If that was the case one would get a Toyota RAV4, which has equal or better gas mileage and more cargo room. The Venza is for the driver who, for whatever reason - be it styling, handling, or vehicle step-in height (like my 4-foot 11-inch mom) - doesn’t want an SUV, but needs more space than a sedan could ever offer. And for those people the Venza works very well.
