Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Toyota Venza sees no major changes following its debut for the 2009 model year. This 4-door, five-passenger wagon slots between the Camry sedan and Highlander crossover SUV in size and price. It shares some of its basic design with both those vehicles. Venza continues in a single trim level, with a choice of two engines and front- or all-wheel drive. The base engine is a 182-hp 2.7-liter 4-cylinder. Also offered is a 268-hp 3.5-liter V6. Each engine teams with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Four-cylinder models can tow up to 2500 lb, and the V6 up to 3500 lb. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Four-cylinder models have standard 19-inch wheels, while V6 versions have standard 20-inch wheels. A navigation system, keyless access and engine start, leather upholstery, and heated front seats are among the options. A panoramic glass roof with power front section and DVD entertainment are on the options list, but both features can't be paired together.
