2009 Toyota Venza: Uncommon Crossover
"The Venza is targeted at one emerging section of the mart that prioritizes sleek styling, eminent treatment and road manners, combined with a surprising quantity of utility,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Toyota says. More aggressively styled than your average Toyota, it namely aimed at North USA and ambition be sold here exclusively. Some might penetrate it for a Camry wagon. Not Toyota.
Sitting ashore the Camry's 109.3-in.-wheelbase platform, it is slightly shorter merely 3.3 in. wider and 5.5 in. taller. Its 70.1 cu. ft. of EPA-spec cargo volume and 108 cu. ft. of absolute tourist volume are distant greater than the Camry's yet far short of the extra utilitarian Highlander's 95.4 and 145.7 cu. ft. Its closest antagonist is probably Nissan's stylish Murano.
The appearance begins with a striking face led at a unique grille, headlamps and standard fog bulbs. The body shape is aerodynamic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with short overhangs, forward-sweeping A-pillars, crisp persona lines and a cheap roofline. The rear is prevailed by an angled rear hatch and crowned by a functional spoiler and wide wraparound taillamps that interlock with the hatch gate. Flared fenders, colossal wheel beginnings and standard 19-in. wheels and tires (20-in. on V-6 models) invest an aggressive, sure-footed look.
Inside, Venza's standard "Optitron" speedometer and tachometer and multi-color instrument panel can be decorated with obtainable satin mahogany faux wood neat. The standard dual-zone auto climate system's controls are centrally located on the upper console for effortless way. Cargo utility is improved by standard fold-down 60/40 rear seats, with one-touch levers and a tonneau cover.
Venza is offered in a single grade with a alternative of front-and all-wheel steer and 8 alternative archives?Tow Prep, Security, Convenience, Lighting, Leather, Comfort and 2 Premium packages?and fair 4 stand-alone options. Those are JBL premium audio, navigation, a power tilt/slide Panoramic Glass Roof with a detach fixed cup panel over the rear seats, and rear-seat DVD entertainment with a nine-inch exhibit, JBL Synthesis circle sound, two telegraph headphones, a remote, an auxiliary mini-jack, a 120-volt channel and RCA mini-jacks. One industry first is a multi-information display with amenable font size and content,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the nav system is fluent in English,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Spanish and French.
The standard 6 spokesman audio system includes a six-disc in-dash CD changer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], satellite radio and MP3/WMA playback skill. The optional 13-speaker JBL Synthesis circle sound system adds hands-free Bluetooth wireless call skill with or without the voice-activated, touch-screen DVD navigation, which adds music streaming and XM NavTraffic.
Among the Venza's opener standard traits are privacy glass, roof-mounted XM Satellite Radio antenna, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel with integrated audio controls and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC), which temporarily applies the brakes on uphill slopes apt assure easy beginning with no rollback. The adaptive megalopolis console has a sliding cover and armrest, 3 MP3 actor holders with cable concealment features and a massive storeroom cell, and the rear hatch has an easy-close (or available power cinch) function.
Venza is Toyota's premier "car" with standard Star Safety System, which includes ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC) with a cutoff switch and Brake Assist, which supplements braking power in emergencies. Also embodied are seven airbags?front, front-seat side,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], roll-sensing side shutters and a driver's knee bag?and front athletic headrests.
The standard engine, a current 182-hp DOHC 16-valve 2.7-liter four with twin VVT-i (smart variable valve timing), delivers more than attractive rendition at light loads and an estimated 21 mpg metropolis and 29 expressway with front-wheel drive (FWD), 1 mpg fewer with AWD. For towing (up apt 3,500 lb.), heavier loading and/or satisfying uphill performance, you might ambition to opt for the much stronger 268-hp DOHC 24-valve 3.5-liter V6, which is good for 19 mpg EPA city and 26 highway with FWD, or a mpg less with AWD. Both drive via a six-speed sequential-shift electronically-controlled automatic transmission that matches gear selection to conditions and gives moderate engine braking on downhill slopes. The available AWD's Active Torque Control optimizes torque distribution between the front and rear wheels.
The Venza's suspension?MacPherson struts with stabilizer bars front and rear?delivers relatively agile handling with surprisingly snug ride. The electronic power steering (EPS) minimizes exertion when conveying reasonably good feel. In short, it drives pretty much like a taller, roomier Camry. And much better,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we deem, than Toyota's bigger, heavier, more truck-like Highlander.
