Quick Facts:
  • Venza is latest crossover from Toyota.
  • Interior features numerous cubby holes and storage compartments.
  • Optional panoramic roof adds second glass panel above rear seats.

Toyota is introducing another weapon in the crossover wars in 2009 with its all-new Venza.

The Venza promises to offer the utility of an SUV while retaining the car-like ride and handling of a mid-size sedan.

Styling on the outside is elegant, yet aggressive with its distinctive grill and short overhangs.

Inside, the Venza features numerous cubby holes and storage spaces. For the first time in a Toyota vehicle, the Venza will also be available with a panoramic roof that adds a glass panel above the second-row seats.

Other options include a JBL audio system, a rear-seat entertainment system, automatic high-beam headlights and a power rear door.

Powering the Venza will be a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder engine or a 3.5-liter V-6.

Look for the new Venza in Toyota showrooms in late 2008.
