2011 Toyota Venza Overview

Toyota Venza

The Venza has the basic body dimensions and interior space of a midsize crossover SUV- Ford Edge and Nissan Murano - but with one important exception: The Toyota Venza is almost 4 inches taller than its rivals, and technically this move in the same field as a car, not crossed. The dimensions of style car, the Venza feels more like a car driving toward the crossover like the Toyota Highlander and RAV4, though certainly not call athletic. Instead, like other Toyota, the Venza puts the emphasis on comfort and convenience of driving.

Interestingly, the style of the Venza body is not the only thing that stands out, though. Unlike most midsize crossover, the Venza is equipped with a base four-cylinder engine. This provides enough power, but given the fact that most comparable V6 fuel economy achieved, it would be stupid not to at least consider shelling out a few dollars for the big engine. This is one of the best - and possibly the top-V6 in the cross of first class. If that was not incentive enough, go with the V6 engine to get even larger, 20-inch wheels.

The Toyota Venza was a little more car-like on the outside of most other crossings. The muzzle, including the grille Multipart that makes us think of a gawky teenager in braces, is loaded with chrome and probably the least attractive of the Venza design. But otherwise, in particular the rear roof line indicates the shapeliness just enough. Inside, the Venza is a bit lean, but not over the top, with gauges, large and clear and a center console dividing unusual driver and front passenger. The cut grain mahogany, the Venza is perhaps very well dressed.

The interior is bold, but with its swoop central console is certainly not boring take into account, a curvy, more luxurious and slightly more relaxed version of the interface that you are getting into minivans. The only thing I do not like the design is that the center console takes up much more space in the front, and the driver of the knee to rest along the hard plastic. Take a look and some interesting textures contribute materials, but most of them in pleasing appearance.

The 2011 Toyota Venza is available with a four-or six-cylinder and can be in the front or all four wheels. All versions are equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine produces 182 horsepower and 182 lb.-ft. of torque. In performance tests Edmunds, a four-cylinder, front wheel drive Venza was zero to 60 mph in 9.3 seconds - the average crossing time in the same unit. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 21 mpg city/27 mpg in highway and 23 mpg with FWD and AWD 20/25/22.

In crash tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Venza scored the highest overall, good for the front and rear impacts. Since publication, the Toyota Venza does not suffer the IIHS roof strength, making it eligible for the list of the organization of top security Peaks. (To qualify, you must have a good overall score in the test of the roof.) Standard features include the usual front, front seat side impact and two-row side airbags curtain airbags, ABS brakes and an electronic stability system.
