Toyota Venza
The Toyota Venza is a five-passenger mid-size crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Toyota primarily for the North American market, beginning with its introduction in 2008 and now in its second generation — with a hiatus for model years 2018–2020.
The first-generation Venza was based on the XV40 series Camry platform and marketed between 2008 and 2017 — and shared the platform with the AL10 series Lexus RX. The second-generation model is a rebadged Japanese-market XU80 series Harrier and has been sold since September 2020.
The name "Venza" is a mix of "Venture" and "Monza."
The first-generation Venza was unveiled at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.[1] It was designed at the Calty Design studios in Newport Beach, California, based on the FT-SX concept car and primarily engineered[citation needed] at Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Venza's production began at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) in Georgetown, Kentucky in November 2008. The 2.7 L model was launched in February 2009.
The first-generation Venza is based on the XV40 series Camry chassis (K platform) and is similar to the Mark X ZiO in concept. It was powered by either a 2.7 L 1AR-FE four-cylinder engine or a 3.5 L 2GR-FE V6 engine, both mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Venza was available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The US Environmental Protection Agency estimated fuel economy of 21 mpg‑US (8.9 km/L; 25 mpg‑imp) in the city and 29 mpg‑US (12 km/L; 35 mpg‑imp) in the highway with the 2.7 L engine.
The Venza had a single trim level, with numerous packages and options. Standard features include fog lamps, 19-inch alloy wheels (2.7 L), 20-inch alloy wheels (3.5 L), HomeLink, XM satellite radio, 6-disc CD changer, dual-zone climate control, electrochromic auto-dimming rear-view mirror, 8-way power drivers seat, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, Hill-Start assist control and the Toyota Star Safety System.
Options include automatic high beams with HID lighting, heated side view mirrors, power liftgate, leather seat surfaces, 4-way power passenger seat, panoramic glass moonroof, smart key system, 13-speaker JBL sound system with Bluetooth, voice-activated touch-screen DVD navigation system, backup camera and a rear DVD entertainment system with a 9-inch display and two wireless headphones. The Touring Package, which included HID headlights, push button start, Navigation, and the JBL Sound Package, was only available for the 3.5-liter all-wheel drive configuration. The Premium Package, which contained the moonroof and backup camera, was available for all but the 2.7-liter front-wheel drive configuration. The leather package was available for all models.
For 2010, the Venza received a standard USB audio input and Bluetooth hands-free phone capability. Due to this addition, a single-CD player unit replaced the previously standard in-dash 6-disc CD changer.
