The Toyota Venza is a front- or four-wheel drive “mid-size SUV” developed by the North American engineering group of the Toyota Motor Corporation specifically for its market. This model is oriented for “family people”. It is very important that the car is unlike any of its "classmates" and combines good crossover cross-country ability, ease of control, like a car, and the functionality of a station wagon.

The conceptual version of the "FT-SX", on the basis of which Venza was later created, was first demonstrated in early 2005 at the Detroit Motor Show. After 3 years, the serial version of the car made its debut in the same city. In 2012, the car underwent a slight restyling. Since 2015, the crossover has left the United States market, and the next year the Russian market (due to weak demand), although it “remained” in certain countries. All.

Car history

The world famous "crossover" direction, the founder of which in the mid-2000s was a company from Japan (), could not help but affect its competitors in its own market, among which was Toyota. Assuming that a vehicle of such a niche would be very common in the North American market, which is very important for the Japanese, the management decided to start development and introduce a fundamentally new car that would combine all the advantages of a crossover and the convenience of a sedan of a representative niche.

As mentioned above, in 2005 at the Detroit Motor Show, a conceptual version of the FT-SX was presented, which gave an image of the upcoming production car about its appearance and parameters. The exterior of the new vehicle was designed by Calty Design, which represents the firm's dedicated design division based in the California region.

The technical filling of the five-door was developed by engineers at the Michigan Toyota Technical Center. All modifications and field tests of the machine continued for 3 years. In 2008, the model was finally shown to the general public.

It was already a serial version of the car, which received the name Venza. They produced such machines at an enterprise in Kentucky. 4 years later (in 2012) the Japanese decided to make their debut car facelift.

Venza exterior (2008-2012)

Based on its size, the first version of the model can be safely attributed to the "mid-size SUV". The machine is 4,801 millimeters long, 1,905 millimeters wide, and the height does not exceed 1,610 millimeters. The distance between the axes is as follows: 2 776 mm. The "combat" performance of the machine starts from 1,755 to 1,835 kilograms, depending on the modification.

The ride height is good enough - 206 millimeters. The exterior of the Toyota Venza fits well with the Japanese style, but does not repeat the existing vehicles of the company, so it's worth giving it its due. The front part has a rather large chrome grille, on top of which the company nameplate is located.

On the sides, there is a lighting technique with lensed optics. At the very bottom of the front bumper there is a compartment covered with a small mesh for cooling. There are also fog lights, framed in chrome trim. The bonnet is medium in size and has a characteristic, pleasant stamping.

Toyota Venza is a truly unique vehicle, as it is as comfortable as a sedan, practical as a station wagon and passable as a crossover.

The side part of the pre-styling Toyota Venza looks quite standard. The wheel arches allow for really large wheels. The designers decided to install external rear-view mirrors directly on the door itself. The rear has an interesting design of lights and stern in general. Some of the lamps are located on the car itself, and some on the tailgate.

The latter received a wiper, massive glass and a small fin placed at the top with a built-in brake light. The rear bumper is not particularly prominent and has only two reflective elements located on the sides. At the bottom right, you can see a small exhaust pipe.

Salon

The interior of the Japanese Toyota Venza looks a little unusual, but very interesting. At first, the eyes run up a bit. After getting inside, the driver is presented with a comfortable multifunctional three-spoke steering wheel. The steering column is adjustable in both height and reach. Behind it is a clear and informative dashboard.

The left part shows the number of revolutions of the power unit by the arrow method, and the right side shows the fuel level and the temperature of the "engine". The central part is reserved for the larger dial of the speedometer. The center console has a lot of interesting things, so you can start from the very top. It is decorated with a small display that displays all the necessary parameters of the car (consumption, mileage, and so on).

Below is the music system, on the sides of which it is "guarded" by two longitudinal air deflectors. Its controls are located slightly below. Not far from them is an automatic transmission lever. A massive transmission tunnel is located between the front seats, on which it is not difficult to notice two large cup holders.

The armrest can be moved forward and backward, depending on specific needs. Under this armrest there is a small container for all sorts of things. The element with cup holders also moves towards the back row, thereby opening up another roomy niche for a variety of things. Inside there is an AUX socket and several 12V sockets.

A Japanese-made car has a large number of speakers that are almost everywhere, even in the luggage compartment. The second row of seats can easily accommodate three adult passengers who will not experience discomfort in front of the legs or overhead. There is a comfortable and functional armrest that slides out of the rear backrest, which also received comfortable cup holders.

The luggage compartment is very spacious and comfortable. The loading height is quite comfortable and the opening is very wide. On top of that, there is a flat floor, under which there is a "dokatka". On the left, under the floor, you can see a jack, and on the right, an additional niche for various small things.

There is a lot of usable space. But that's not all. In the trunk, Japanese engineers have provided special handles with which you can fold the second row seats. The result is an almost flat floor and impressive usable space.

Specifications

Power unit

The power list of the "pre-styling" version of the Toyota Venza has two atmospheric gasoline engines. In the beginning, we can single out the inline four-cylinder 2.7-liter power plant, which received sixteen valves and a distributed injection system.

This allows the first variant to develop 182 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 240 Nm at 4,000 rpm. The small list of power units is completed by a 3.5-liter V-shaped six-cylinder version, which received a 32-valve gas distribution mechanism and multi-point "power". As a result, such an engine produces 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 334 Nm of rotational forces at 4,700 rpm.

Transmission

Both powertrains are only synchronized with a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is provided. The box received a multi-plate clutch on the rear axle.

Chassis

The Japanese five-door is based on the proprietary "K" base found in the Camry and Highlander vehicles. An independent suspension of the McPherson type is installed front and rear, where there are coil springs, lateral stabilizers and shock absorbers.

Disc brakes are used as a braking system (in front they are ventilated). Such mechanisms are complemented by electrical systems ABS, EBD, and others. The steering has a rack and pinion architecture and electric power steering.

Exterior restyled Venza (2012-2017)

Initially, unique front headlights with LED daytime running lights strips immediately catch the eye. Narrowed xenon lamps have an auto-corrector and washers. In addition, there is the presence of an "aggressive" radiator grille, chrome edging of frames and door handles, two-piece exterior mirrors that perfectly control the "blind spots".

The air intake has increased in size. The appearance of this vehicle turned out to be quite unusual, but attractive. The impressive size adds solidity to it. Despite most opinions that the model received a sporty design, unfortunately, there is no pronounced sporty touch.

The 19-inch rollers and the roof spoiler give some playfulness. The color scheme has several interesting color schemes: Attitude Black Metallic, Barcelona Red Metallic, Blizzard Pearl, Classic Silver Metallic, Cosmic Gray Mica, Cypress Pearl, Golden Umber Mica, Magnetic Gray Metallic and Sunset Bronze Mica. It is very pleasant that the car comes with a panoramic roof as standard.

The car has an original spoiler with a built-in brake light and respectable aluminum lining with the Venza inscription on the sills. The exterior of Toyota looks quite distinctive - the exterior is borrowed from various segments.

Long overhangs, along with solid ground clearance, passed to him from crossovers, and a squat appearance with a low roofline evokes associations with cars in the back of a minivan or station wagon. In general, the car has decreased in its own parameters.

Interior

It is very pleasant to be inside, based on the photo of Toyota Venza. The salon is simple and laconic. There are comfortable leather seats with clearly identified side support, a fairly wide armrest between the driver's and passenger's seats, as well as additional soft armrests on the doors. The driver's seat is able to "drive up" to the "steering wheel" of the five-door control in an independent manner.

In addition, the driver's seat is equipped with a function for remembering the last adjustments. The interior rearview mirror has received a dimming option, and a 6.1-inch screen of the multimedia system is located in the center. Slightly higher and closer to the windshield, the already familiar small-sized onboard computer screen remained.

It is able to display the current temperature regime, speed data, gasoline consumption, time, distance and other parameters. It is controlled from the steering wheel. The large display brings out the next generation navigation system. The steering wheel itself is equipped with a couple of familiar levers - control of direction indicators and lighting. The left area of \u200b\u200bthe "steering wheel" has buttons for electrical adjustment of mirrors, optics washers, disabling parking sensors (front and rear) and opening the luggage compartment lid.

Only when you get inside the Toyota Venza, you almost immediately realize that the car was not created initially for us. This is eloquently evidenced by the high-positioned gearshift lever, which is typical for American cars.

The instrument illumination is full color - Optitron. The center console was sold in a 60/40 ratio. It turns out to the owner that 60 percent of the console is turned towards him, and the remaining 40 percent towards the passenger sitting next to him. But with the help of a special structure, the front passenger feels the same effect as the driver. Toyota Venza has separate climate control, moreover, the driver and the passenger received separate "own" wheels for the temperature control.

Near the wheels for the temperature regime are a pair of similar controls for heating the seats. The gear lever is in an unusual position close to the multimedia screen. The Japanese did not forget to install a long box for a variety of small things, which also has USB ports.

A little higher you can see the holder for mobile gadgets. The interior is available in three different interior trims. Dark interior came, gray and ivory. More expensive trim levels have received leather trim. Inside the Japanese vehicle, there is an abundance of free space both in the first row and in the second.

The back row easily accepts three adult passengers who will not experience discomfort overhead and in the legs. The backrests of the rear sofa can be adjusted in tilt angle. Pleasantly pleased with the abundance of plastic inserts made for aluminum. It is impossible not to note the excellent ergonomics of the interior decoration, since here you can easily reach everything, and the readings of the instruments are easily read.

The entire interior is assembled with high quality without obvious gaps. As mentioned a little above, the upgraded Venza has 2 hatches. The one installed in front can be opened, and the rear one will perform only the function of a transparent roof, but it makes the interior lighter and more spacious. The luggage compartment is simply huge - the volume is equal to 975 liters.

But that's not all. If necessary, the backrests of the rear seats can be lowered, which as a result already provides 2,000 liters of usable space. A good level of noise isolation will also please.

Technical characteristics restyling

Powertrain restyling

For the Russian market, a Japanese crossover with a single gasoline-type power plant was officially imported. It was an aluminum four-cylinder naturally aspirated 2.7-liter 1AR-FE engine. It had a variable-length intake manifold, variable valve timing, multi-point injection and intelligent electronic throttle.

Considering all this, this "engine" develops 185 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 247 Nm of torque, which is achieved at 4,200 rpm. Other markets have a "Venza" with an installed gasoline V-shaped six-cylinder 3.5-liter engine, developing 268 "horses" at 6,200 rpm and 334 Nm of torque at 4,700 rpm.

Transmission restyling

Together with such a power unit, the Japanese decided to synchronize a six-speed automatic transmission with a front-wheel drive transmission or all-wheel drive technology, which has an electromechanical clutch in the rear wheel drive. She knows how to transfer traction to the rear wheels not only when the front wheels slip, but also when cornering.

Regardless of the chosen version, the car reaches the first hundred in 9.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is declared at 180 kilometers per hour. The combined mode of car movement requires from 9.4 to 10 liters for every 100 kilometers.

Chassis restyling

As the base of the vehicle, the Toyota K base was laid, which implies a transverse installation of the power unit, and the body structure is distinguished by the wide use of high-strength types of steel. As for the suspension, it is fully independent here.

McPherson struts, cross stabilizers, steel springs and gas-filled shock absorbers are used. The steering device has received a rack and pinion mechanism and electric power steering. The braking system is represented by the front ventilated disc brakes, and the aft part received standard disc "brakes".

Unlike the American version, the Russian version of the five-door crossover has a softer suspension, with different adjustments, as well as a stowaway stored in the underground luggage compartment.

Safety

The list of protection systems for people sitting in Toyota Venza can begin with a "package" of airbags: there are front, side, curtain, and knee airbags. If we talk about active safety technologies, we can highlight the anti-lock braking system, the technology that can distribute the braking forces, the "assistant" during emergency braking, the stability control system, the traction control system and the assistant when changing lanes.

The Japanese specialists did not stop there and introduced the Hill-start assistance system, tire pressure monitoring, active head restraints, seat belts with pretensioners and force limiters, as well as fasteners for child seats. Based on IIHS data, the car received excellent results in crash tests.

Crash test

Price and configuration

Russian car dealerships began selling the restyled Toyota Venza in June 2013. But since the beginning of 2016, the model cannot be purchased officially due to low demand. The secondary market allows you to buy this Japanese five-door within 1 600 000 rubles, depending on the condition of the vehicle.

The basic equipment has:

• 7 airbags;
• Leather interior;
• 19-inch "rollers";
• Electronic systems ESP;
• Dual-zone climate control;
• Front and rear parking sensors;
• Multimedia system;
• Electric tailgate drive;
• Starting the power unit using a button;
• Bi-xenon headlights, light and rain sensors;
• Front seat heating and audio system.

In addition to everything, the car has a cruise control, a monitoring system for "blind" areas, a function of help when starting up the hill and a whole list of relevant "gadgets".

The restyled version of the five-door crossover from Japan looks very modern, stylish and even a little sporty. However, this does not mean that the opportunity for car owners to improve their cars is closed. Some drivers decide on a small transformation of the external plan.

These include a steel grille, steel (or carbon) rear bumper trim, steel front bumper protection with decorative elements, oval-type sills with pads (platforms or a simple pipe). In addition, they install a steel crankcase protection kit, plastic window deflectors, visors, plastic hood deflectors, wheel arch liners, mud flaps, floor mats and luggage compartment.

It is clear that such improvements do not have a fundamental improvement, but they will allow you to stand out a little from the crowd, and also help to keep some elements of the car longer. In the end, you can order airbrushing with a drawing that the owner will like.

The advantages and disadvantages of Toyota Venza 2013-2014 are revealed based on feedback from real owners. More detailed pros and cons of Toyota Venza 2.7 with automatic, front and all-wheel drive 4WD can be found in the stories below:

Owner reviews

The Venza salon is comfortable and spacious. I have three kids, there is enough space for everyone in the back. The driver's seat has electrical adjustments, I quickly find a comfortable position, and my wife, when she gets behind the wheel, does not complain. When the ignition is turned off, the seat moves back to facilitate exit.

Difficult only with dimensions. The carcass of the "Venza" is large, and the parking sensors are not very informative. Once in winter there was a freezing rain, the sensors were covered with a crust, and they began to screech like cut, apparently they considered the ice an obstacle. The rear-view camera gets dirty quickly, there is little help from it in the slush. But in good weather there are no problems with parking.

In general, I like the handling. On the highway, there is enough dynamics and softness, a light off-road car generally flies with a bang (clearance is above 20 centimeters, four-wheel drive). There is a pleasant acceleration from traffic lights in the city, but when changing lanes, when you need to either drop or add gas, the automatic transmission dulls, as if it cannot decide which gear to "stick" in. Fuel consumption is also too large - sometimes up to 20 liters in the city come out ...

Ivan, review of Toyota Venza 2.7 (185 hp) automatic transmission 4WD 2014

Video review

About the dynamics. Yes, this is not a sports car, but the engine for a four-pot aspirated engine is very flexible - at all speeds you can feel a decent pickup, unlike the 2.5 Duratec, which did not pull at all at the bottom and only at high speeds gave out at least some traction.

About the machine. The Venza automatic u760e is much smarter than the Ford 6f35. Unlike the latter, he quickly shifts gears. All this makes the Venza much more enjoyable to drive. It is not necessary to constantly twist the engine until it rings in order for the car to move.

You just dose the accelerator pedal. Slightly, a little more, even more - the car hums like a well-fed cat, and predictably accelerates. Because of this, in the city, the engine speed does not rise above 3000 rpm. Hence the fuel consumption does not exceed 13.5 liters (10-11 liters on the highway).

At any speed, it stands firmly with all its four, I wanted to say with its paws, but no - with its wide paws. While still without numbers, on the night ring road, I tried to accelerate until the limiter was triggered (110 miles), but I did not feel the effect of soaring. Every hole, every crack, unevenness in the asphalt remained in place - the car continued to travel along the road.

However, oddly enough, a wide, stable car is not always a plus. The width of the base and wheels of the Venza is such that it is difficult to maneuver within its lane, avoiding holes, or ditching rut.

The disadvantages are expensive tires. For normal winter tires, I had to fork out 50 thousand rubles. The problem of the lack of towing hooks was solved by me on my own. Also note the low front bumper skirt.

Review of Toyota Venza 2.7 AT 4WD 2012

The first impressions of the car's driving performance after the 2012 CR-V are the padded steering wheel and impressive acceleration from a standstill. Over time, I got used to it and now it seems that it should be so. The car's suspension is wonderful, moderately soft and moderately stiff. You hardly feel unevenness on the asphalt, but on the dirt road it goes hard, you can't accelerate, your heart bleeds.

Holds the road at any speed. Handling is easy, you don't get tired of the long road. The dynamics of acceleration on the track for overtaking is remarkable, at any speed it is enough to immerse the pedal by 2/3, and the car picks up speed in one fell swoop. Very handy when overtaking.

With a ground clearance of 205 mm, the car has too much front bumper overhang. You need to be more careful when driving through holes and ditches, as well as when approaching curbs. Otherwise, you can simply peel off the front bumper from below.

The 4WD system is great. In winter, it walks confidently on snow and ice, the main thing is not to skimp on all-season tires. When some front-wheel drive Wenz owners praise the fast acceleration and low fuel consumption of the front-wheel drive, don't believe it. It's all bullshit. The car weighing 1.9 tons and front-wheel drive is a redneck!

The fuel consumption of my car on the highway is 8-9 liters at a speed of 90-110 km / h, in the city in the summer with air conditioning - 13 liters, in the winter - 15.5 liters with warming up. The numbers are taken from the readings of the on-board computer.

The salon is large, the trunk is huge, the seats are comfortable - everything is cool, except for the console for turning on the stove. She has ill-conceived ergonomics.

Alexander, a review about Toyota Venza with automatic and all-wheel drive in 2013

Exterior. Outwardly, I really like her. Highly! This is the biggest plus in her asset. From a distance, it looks just like a great all-rounder that inspires respect.

The ground clearance on the Venza makes it easy to park on the curb, run over speed bumps and, in fact, do not worry about obstacles at all. The lower edge of the doors also covers the threshold. On the one hand, this always leaves the trousers clean, but this must be borne in mind when parking at the curb. I've hit him with the door a couple of times already, even though he didn't look tall.

The headlights are good: they shine brightly, widely and densely fill the entire area in front of the car. This is critical for me, because I can't see well at night, this is a feature of my vision.

Interior. No revelations. Simple, but tasteful. Landing is completely light. There is no feeling that you are sitting in a crossover, and only large suspension travels indicate that there is not 15 centimeters under the bottom. The rather high glazing line gives a feeling of security. The exterior mirrors are small, chamfered and have small extra vision areas. Yes, it looks elegant, but not practical.

The very leather of the seats is of mediocre quality, already stretched under the ass, but it makes no difference to me. Much more important is that when overcoming hundreds of kilometers without stopping, there is absolutely no feeling of fatigue.

Suspension. Driving experience is conflicting. The car gladly swallows tens and hundreds of kilometers without annoying passengers with discomfort. You don't notice small irregularities at all. But when a slightly larger hole comes across, then a hard blow immediately follows. No, the ass does not bounce on the seat and it does not knock out the soul, but it seems that the wheels are pumped to an oak state.

Engine and gearbox. The dynamics of acceleration does not make a splash, but it is good at any speed. It tears from a place very briskly, as the car starts on all-wheel drive. At 120 km / h, when you press the gas, there is also decent acceleration. And I'm not talking about kick-down - the box just goes one step down.

But the box caused some frustration. She is brooding and does not smooth out switching properly. The box adapts to the movement, and if you drive a couple of tens of kilometers in vigorous mode, then switching is already happening more actively, and the box "thinks" less.

Review of 2013 Toyota Venza with 4WD automatic

Appearance (Exterior). Venza is an incomprehensible car! It seems to be a crossover, he is a station wagon, but it also has something of a minivan in it. The car has a very impressive size, which you realize only when you see it alive.

Opinions are mainly divided into 2 polar groups - either I really like everything, or she is considered a freak of the “neither fish nor meat” format. My subjective opinion is that, in general, I DO NOT like Venza with my appearance, but ... I like a number of details! So it turns out in the perception of this car some kind of internal contradiction!

I like the optics design with toning elements and fashionable running lights, very original and unlike anyone else, I like the swift slope of the panoramic glass roof, the funky 19-inch rollers and the massive front bumper.

I do not like that the car is very low (it really is only slightly higher than the Camry), it gives the impression of being flat when you take into account its width. The car is stretched and looks more like a minivan, it lacks off-road capability.

Interior. Everything is at hand and everything is very convenient! I chose a black interior, while the design of the seats used white stitching and white edging - it gives a certain image of solidity.

To say that it is spacious in Venza is to say nothing! The doors are pushed so far away from the riders that it gives the impression of imposingness, you can fall apart, even spread across the cabin, while there is absolutely no pressure on the sides. The seats are shapeless in the American way, so you don't even feel a hint of lateral support on your back.

Suspension and driving performance. Venza is a soft, "sofa" car, so even on 19-inch rollers it does not bother with suspension rigidity. On the track, roll is minimal due to the low center of gravity. In general, the car's suspension is completely tuned for long-distance travel. In the city, too, everything is not bad, speed bumps are going with a bang, but it is felt that the stock is small, and the rear suspension is very short-travel.

The visibility of Venza is a separate topic. Wide C-pillars and narrow glass make parking very difficult. Well, what are the terrible side mirrors. They are small, uncomfortable, and besides, useless spherical inserts worsen the matter.

The owner drives a Toyota Venza 2.7 (185 hp) AT 2013.

The Camry station wagon sounds perfect. On the paper.

But Toyotaâ € ™ s announcement that Venza will be phased out following US sales falling in four of the past five years.

Toyota ceases production of the Venza crossover

Venza's volume fell on the model's first full year at 54,410 units. Two years later, in 2011, Venza's sales slipped 28%. Last year, USA Venza Thoma was barely more than half its 2009 level.

The Toyota showroom is chock-full of SUVs and crossovers â € “RAV4, Highlander, 4runner, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Sequoia â €“ and close ties to Lexus, receptions regularly outselling premium SUV / crossover nameplates, the Venza was delivered task too big task: carve a niche for a brand that already has all corners covered, but not too small a niche.

Meanwhile, the Camry will continue to be successful in generating sales activity back on track, with sales increasing in 2012, 2013 and 2014, all the years during which Venza volume declined.

The Venza lacks the Highlanderâ € ™ s third row and, more recently, operated with a base price 23% higher than the RAV4â € ™ s. The standard 2.7 liter, 181 horsepower inline-four is charged with propelling 3,800+ lbs. And while the Subaru Outbackâ € ™ s successfully leads many to believe that thereâ € ™ s a room in the corridor between traditional cars and utility vehicles, the Venza and much less often (and similarly discontinued) Honda Crossstore invariably imply otherwise. (The other two rows of trucks, like the Ford EDGE and Nissan Murano, are sold much more often than the Venza.)

Aside from the US carâ € ™ s low sales, Venza's cancellation will open up more production capacity for more popular vehicles built on the same Kentucky site, Toyotaâ € ™ s Avalon and Camry, Americaâ € ™ s latest best-selling car.

But if Venza proved to be popular enough, Toyota wouldn't have to rely on the Highlander and RAV4 to create volume to offset Venza's losses. Apart from August 2009's cash for Auto Junk-authorized 8,435-unit performance, Toyota sold over 5,000 Venzas in the US alone in four different months: July, October and December 2009 and March 2010. The average monthly volume since 2011 has dropped below 3,100 units.

Subaru sold over 10,000 outbacks per month over the same period.

Toyota Venza, owner reviews (23 reviews) - is it worth buying?

Toyota venza Is a mid-size crossover SUV (CUV) manufactured by Japanese automaker Toyota and unveiled at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Based on the Toyota FT-SX concept car unveiled at the 2005 North American International Auto Show, the Venza was primarily designed at the Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and designed at Calty Design Studio in Newport Beach, California. It is currently trenching in size and price between the compact RAV4 SUV and the Highlander midsize crossover SUV that has third-row seating. However, the Venza is an inch longer than the Highlander and during the 2009-2010 model years, the base Venza's MSRP was higher than the base Highlander.

Venza is built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) in Georgetown, Kentucky, production beginning November 10, 2008.

In March 2015, Toyota announced that it would cease production of the Venza in June, with export models available until 2017 due to declining sales.

(GGV10 / 15, 2008–)

The Venza is based on the Camry chassis (Toyota K platform) and is similar to the Mark X Cio in concept. Venza is powered by either a 3.5 liter 2GR-FE V6 Toyota or brand new 2.7-liter 1AR-FE I4 engineboth mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available as options. The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates the fuel economy of the city: and the highway: four-cylinder engine. Venza uses a power management system.

Assessment and features

US models had a starting price of $ 25,975 for a front-wheel-drive (FWD) 4-cylinder model and ranged up to $ 29,250 for an all-wheel drive (AWD) V6 edition with no options.

According to Edmunds.com, the Venza's interior design and quality is superior to other modern Toyota vehicles.

Unlike other Toyota offerings, which have varying equipment levels (such as LE and XLE for Camry and Sport and Limited for RAV4 / Highlander), the Venza only has one exemplary trim, but with a choice of packages and options. Compared to other Toyota vehicles in a similar price range (such as the RAV4, Camry and Highlander), whose base models have few amenities outside of air conditioning and power accessories, the entry-level Venza has a long list of standard features. These include fog lights, 19 "alloy wheels (I4), 34lb 20" alloy wheels (V6), HomeLink, XM Satellite Radio, 6-disc CD changer, dual zone climate control, electrochromic mirror rearview auto-dimming, 8-way power driver's seat, steering wheel mounted audio controls, Hill start assist control and Toyota Star Safety System.

Luxury options include automatic high beam with HIDDEN 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 touchscreen DVD navigation system, backup camera and rear DVD entertainment system with 9 "display and two wireless headphones.

The Tour Package (containing HID headlights and button start) and Navigation & JBL Package are only available on V6 AWD. A premium package containing a moonroof and a backup camera is available on all but the Venza (FUTURE I4), while a leather package is available on all Venzas.

For 2010, the Venza received standard USB audio input and Bluetooth hands-free phone capability. Because of this addition, the ONE CD PLAYER unit has replaced the previously standard 6-disc CD changer in dash. All US models have been raised $ 300 at MSRP.

For 2011, the only noticeable change for US models was the hit to the $ 200 base price.

For 2012 Venza will debut a three-grade model line (LE, XLE, and Limited) for the US market, which is replacing the single-grade line with different choice packages. The LE and XLE are available with all powertrain combinations: four-cylinder, V6, front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD); The Venza Limited comes with a V6 engine in all-wheel drive configurations or front-wheel drive only. Canadian models still retain the single-grade line, adding only the FUT four-cylinder Convenience Package. All US models receive a $ 240 MSRP boost.

Carrying out a crash test

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded Venza her The main honor of Security Choice in 2009. Venza was also rated "Good" in the roof strength test, resulting in Venza also awarded the Insurance Institute Security Selection Vertex Highway Safety in 2010 and 2011, when roof strength became the criterion for the award.

Production

Venza began production at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) on November 11, 2008, with over 70% of Venza's components sourcing from US suppliers. Sales of Toyota projects between 75,000-100,000 Venzas per year. Even though the majority of Toyota vehicles built in the United States and Canada are sold in Mexico, this is one of the North American built by Toyota (next to Avalon) not to be sold in Mexico.

In addition to Venza, TMMK manufactures Camry, Camry Hybrid and Avalon, and previously produced Solara. Toyota launched the four-cylinder Venza in February 2009.

Marketing

During the 2008 vehicle launch, Toyota sold the Venza under the campaign "You are more than One Thing. So Venza". According to Autoblog, the name "Venza" was derived from the words Company and Monza (racing circuit).

In Canada, Venza was featured as a prize in Tim Hortons' 2009 "Rrroll Rim to Get a Promotion" promotion.

In 2013 Venza made its debut in the Russian and Chinese markets.

Toyota will halt production of Venza in the US market in June 2015 due to declining sales.

Classification

The definition of whether the Venza is a crossover SUV or a van is not clear-cut; some journalists regard it as a "Camry station wagon" http: // autos .msn.com / research / vip / review.aspx? year \u003d 2012 & make \u003d Toyota & model \u003d Venza & cp-documentid \u003d 1059425 (successor to 1991-96 vans, which was the last repeat, which will suggest this style in Canada and the United States), while other sources often describe it simply as a new type of "transition." Toyota says Venza blends "the styling and comfort of a passenger car with the agility of an SUV." According to Toyota, the Venza is neither a station wagon nor an SUV, but rather for customers who want more room and flexibility than a Camry sedan but want a smaller, midsize crossover SUV than the Highlander. Toyota lists Venza rivals as the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima on their website's comparison page, both being popular midsize sedans.

Venza contains. of internal volume, more than its two main competitors - Nissan Murano, Ford Edge.

The Venza is one of Toyota crossovers without a third-row seat, unlike the Highlander. The RAV4 is mainly marketed as a five-row passenger vehicle (similar to the BMW X5) as the third-row seat was discontinued for 2013 http: // www .toyota.ca / toyota / en / vehicles / rav4 / models, at the time as the five-passenger Highlander was discontinued with the release of the Venza. Unlike the RAV4 and Highlander, which are sold in Japan, the Venza is currently only sold in North America. The Venza counterpart, which is sold in Japan, the Toyota Mark X ZiO, is slightly shorter and narrower than the Venza, but also has an available third row seat.

Toyota informed automotive motor Trend Magazinethat it will convey the entrance to the Venza in the SUV of the year's competition publication. Instead, Toyota requested Venza to compete in the Car of the Year competition. Motoring Trend decided that the Venza should not compete in any competition at all, as its ride height is too high to qualify as a car.

The Honda Crosstour and Subaru Outback (Limited and Top trims) are Venza's main competitors in the loosely defined crossover wagon (non-SUV) category. The Crosstour of the Accord is derived from the Accord Sedan while the Outback comes from the Legacy sedan, both similar to how the Venza shares its roots in the Camry.

2009–11 Toyota vehicle reviews

Today we are going to get acquainted with the notorious car called Toyota Venza. The model appeared on the consumer market in 2008, and already from the first series, it began to attract the attention of the public. However, even a well-known Japanese manufacturer has made mistakes over the years. At the moment, the perfect car does not exist, as customers will always be able to find flaws. Also, the likelihood of the presence of so-called children's "sores" cannot be ruled out. , inherent in any car.

According to the Toyota management, this model is a versatile all-terrain vehicle and an ideal family option, respectively, its ground clearance is not small at all - 205 mm. Venza was equipped with two power units: 2.7 (in-line four-cylinder engine) - 182 l / s and 3.5 - 335 (six-cylinder V-shaped engine) l / s, but only the first option is supplied to the Russian market, which can already be attributed to the disadvantages. Domestic fans of aggressive driving and the so-called "rolling station wagons" often complained about the inaccessibility of a complete set with a V6 unit, although this engine is available for the Highlander. Now we should delve deeper into the subject of the weak points of the car, which are noted by users:

• The car cannot be considered a full-fledged crossover - which is often discussed in various forums, because the car is not in vain classified in the category of all-terrain wagons. A sufficiently high clearance rate ensures that even on average off-road terrain, the driver will not encounter a cross-country problem.
• Four-wheel drive - this item can be used as a reference to the previous one about the level of cross-country ability. However, the 4x4 variation plays a cruel joke on the car owner. The body of the car is quite large, the 4WS system (rear wheel steering) is not used, therefore the turning radius is large. Thus, the vehicle loses mobility in favor of high cross-country ability.
• Low quality windshield - this item causes particular indignation among the owners. The fact is that even Toyota, which managed to bring innovative technologies to life by the end of the 1980s, made a mistake in designing the body geometry. Even with the slightest impact on the nose of the car or a pebble in the process of movement, the glass does not withstand and is instantly covered with cracks. Therefore, experienced owners decide to install non-original glass instead, guided by the principle: "It will break anyway, I'll save better!" This kind of thinking is quite pernicious and rarely does any of the owners of such cars resort to such decisions. Most often, non-original glasses are installed by those who have already bought a used car and simply want to maintain its spectacular appearance, but not the technical and original condition.
• The imperfect control algorithm in Russian is one of the most significant drawbacks, since such negligence is unacceptable for Toyota. The company has been implementing successful and innovative projects for decades, but the software for Toyota Venza is not 100% developed.

Unpleasant little things

Fuel consumption that is different from the previously announced - the trends of the modern automotive world are such that manufacturers are moving towards saving fuel and various resources, as well as the introduction of high-tech solutions. Initially, the declared consumption was: 7.5-7.7 liters in the extra-urban cycle, with a tank volume of 67 liters. In fact, the consumption reaches 8.4 in the suburban cycle (for the city, the consumption is 11-12 liters). Although, despite such a very modest appetite for the car, the number of people wishing to buy a Toyota Venza has not decreased.

Poor sound insulation and poor quality of plastic in the cabin are far from what the buyer of a car worth $ 30,000 - $ 35,000 wants to get.

Useful advice: The problem is solved quite simply by gluing the rattling elements and a layer of noise insulation. This procedure is found at a reasonable cost in car services.

Inconvenient location of the gearshift knob – in this question, the question is already asked about ergonomics and quality indicators that the element does not satisfy. Owners state that the handle is too high on the console.

Weaknesses of the chassis of Toyota Venza

A feature of the car is the presence of front and all-wheel drive, depending on the purchased configuration. In all variations, the front and rear suspensions are independent, with MacPherson struts with anti-roll bars installed in front.

However, damage to the front silent blocks can become a problem during the operation of Venza. Failure of this part can lead to serious damage, therefore, serious repairs will be required, which will cost the owner a pretty penny.

Let's summarize.

Despite the technical flaws and pricing, the car is still popular. Its acquisition in the secondary market involves a number of difficulties, including the state. In favor of Toyota Venza, we can mention: a high level of reliability of the engine, chassis, body, excellent power reserve, allowing you to dominate the flow. The level of comfort and luxury deserves special attention.

Any car needs care, regardless of whether it belongs to a segment or a brand. With the proper level of control and compliance with the regulations, the car will serve faithfully for a very long time, without causing any problems, which, unfortunately, most motorists are increasingly forgetting.

P.S .: Dear car owners, if you have noticed frequent malfunctions of any parts and assemblies of this car model, then let us know in the comments below.

   Weaknesses - the rail - falls apart on a run of 100,000 t.km., or change or sort out - knocks.
   Rear pillars, changed once a year, kayaba 8000 per set, original. And finally, on the run 120 t.km. the box fell apart. I came to the service, and there is another one of the same venza with the same problem (150 t.km.) and one highlander (210 t.km.). Replacement of the automatic transmission housing, wear of the main bearing groove, etc. Repair for 150 tr. Draw conclusions, it goes up to 100 t.km. then it starts to fall apart.

2. Sergei

   At the moment (mileage 90 thousand), no problem. Do THAT in time and she will thank the owner. I operate a Venza in the north. Cool technique!

3. Alexei

   Mileage 60,000, no problem, timely doing maintenance and inspection of the car .... and you will be happy ...

   toyota Venza 2014 mileage on 10 / 01-2019 55000km. At 40,000 km. under warranty replaced the rear internal lantern-fogged. replaced the steering column, clicks were heard (this is Venza's disease) which do not affect anything. a year later they reappeared and disappeared by themselves, and for more than half a year the silence. And under warranty repainted the hood. In places where there were chips, corrosion appeared, the Dealer refused a guarantee, especially the customer support service, which I renamed into the Toyota support service. In Izmailovo and Sheremetyevo they refused, and in Toyota Lyubetsy I was driven to hysteria by Dam from the service .... both the hood and the lantern became warranty in an instant, and after a while I arrived at MOT of 40,000 km. and said that sometimes clicks are heard in the steering, the case immediately became a warranty. They understood with whom they had the honor to speak. but it costs nerves. In general, Venzoy is very pleased with a very cool car. I serve according to the regulations and there are no problems

   Venza 12 years old, bought in 13m, for 110 thousand. km. I replaced the racks in a circle (at -43 the kettle cut off, I had to go over the curb). 125 thousand km. Replacing the steering rods (they are balls) febest, enough for 15 thousand. km. rattling again, no original! The tips are like new and everything else too, I use them in the north, in the summer all over Russia, as well as Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Crimea, Altai. In general, a car for lazy people! Perfectly balanced, reliable, super on the highway, does not feel the speed, it is easy to cut off (180), the interior has a large trunk too, for a family an excellent device. Front-wheel drive.

Venza. The American engineer simply does not understand why a modern car needs a large and uncomfortable "spare wheel" that takes up so much space and is never used! Indeed, in the event of a puncture, you can fill in a special gel, and in case of serious damage to the wheel, you just need to call a tow truck ... And why a car in the 21st century needs towing eyes, Mr. Bernas also does not know. Apparently, that is why Venza simply does not have them (don't worry about the "spare" - it will appear in Russia).

But if the Americans do not understand why we need "spare wheels" and towing ropes, then at first I could not answer the question, why do we need "Venza" in principle. However, when prices were announced, everything fell into place - the car was midway between the Camry sedan and the Highlander SUV. That is, those who have already "grown" out of a Camry or Corolla can buy a new product, and not go to some other brand.

The Russian representative office of Toyota is confident that 18% of future Venza buyers will be RAV4 owners, and another 22% will be Camry owners.

However, one caveat is confusing - Venza is actually not such a novelty. After all, it was first presented back in 2008! And five years for the modern car industry is a very decent period. And even though the Venza has recently gone through a restyling, but this does not change the essence of the matter - we have a rather old car, and, in theory, it should soon leave the conveyor.

And the age is felt. No, it's not about looks. Everything is in order with him - the car looks interesting (although, for sure, there will be opponents of such a design). The years are visible in the salon. If in 2008 the "usual" color screen on the center console was quite enough, now spoiled buyers have completely different requirements for picture quality, display width and multimedia system capabilities (I can imagine how car creators hate Apple and other manufacturers of all kinds of "ipeds" ). That is why Venza with its small screen and mediocre clarity does not look the best. And the simple plastic in the cabin is also not happy, although there are no complaints about the build quality and ergonomics. In general, "Toyota ordinary".

What is Toyota Venza anyway? The Japanese themselves proudly call it an "innovative crossover". Nice, but incomprehensible. Indeed, innovations are sparse here, and the already mentioned central screen cannot definitely be attributed to them. Unusual body? At first glance, yes. After all, Venza is a cross between an SUV, a sedan, a station wagon and a monocab. Opening a new segment? Alas, no, similar models have appeared before. And let the Japanese say that Venza is completely different from Subaru Outback, Honda Crosstour or Volvo XC70, but let's be honest - "universal semi-crossovers" have met before. So what's the innovation?

There are a lot of things you can hide in the front armrest. Inside it there are a total of three containers with a volume of 3.5 liters, 4.5 liters and 5.7 liters. In addition, there is a special compartment for a cell phone, and it is made in such a way that the "charging" wires can be hidden inside the armrest.

Probably, during the test drive Venza will reveal all its "nanosecret"? Yes, somehow not really ... It's too early to talk about the suspension - American cars did not please with either smooth running or perfected handling. But it is already clear that a car with a slightly different chassis will come to Russia - especially for our country, the suspension will be made a little more comfortable. How much? While there is no answer to this question - you will have to wait for the start of sales and then draw conclusions.

The length of the Toyota Venza is 4833 mm. That is, this model is slightly larger than the Camry (4825 mm). The Venza is 1610 mm high (1480 mm for the Camry), the boot volume is 975 liters (for the Camry - 483 liters).

As for the power unit, there are also few innovations. In the US, the Toyota Venza is sold with two engines: a 2.7-liter four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter V6. However, we will not have the last engine - such cars would be too expensive and would directly compete with the larger Highlander. Therefore, we will only have to drive the Venza 2.7, which has 185 hp in Russian specification. and 247 Nm. At first glance, not so bad. Especially if you are a calm driver - in this case, the engine power will be quite enough to perform all the main tasks, and the 6-speed "automatic" will adequately begin to perform its duties, shifting gears on time and gently (there are no alternatives to this box and will never be).

Orders for Toyota Venza began to be accepted on April 1 this year, and "live" cars will appear at dealers on June 15. The sales plan for the year is 5,000 cars.

But if you want to "light up", then the 4-cylinder unit will not be enough. After 4.5 thousand revolutions, the engine starts to make a lot of noise, but there is still no proper acceleration. Feels like the dynamics of the big and heavy Venza is on par with the Corolla 1.6, which has never been a "driving" car. Although Toyota never said the Venza was designed for aggressive, dynamic driving. This is a car for family and quiet people, whose main value is not speed, but safety and comfort.

Noise isolation pleased - Venza has a complete order with it.

It has already been said about the chassis - the Russian version of the Venza should receive a rather soft suspension. However, the Venza will have a couple more important trump cards in stock. One of them is a truly spacious interior. In the second row there is like in a huge executive sedan - you can easily sit with your legs crossed. In theory, nothing prevented Toyota from releasing even 7-seater versions of the Venza, but such cars would begin to compete with the same Highlander ...

Venza has another big plus. This is four-wheel drive. It is available, however, not in the basic configuration, but the possibility of obtaining it pleases. Although it's a bit tough with innovations here too - this all-wheel drive system is well known to Toyota fans from other brand crossovers (a similar transmission is used, say, on the RAV4, which we have recently tested). In a “normal” situation, the Venza is a front-wheel-drive car, but when it slips, the rear wheels begin to engage. In general, the standard crossover circuit.

At the heart of the Toyota Venza is the same platform that the Camry sedan is built on. Moreover, these cars are assembled at one plant in Kentucky, where the Avalon model is also made.

Let's not forget to include in the offset the model and a decent ground clearance - after all, 205 mm is now not all "jeeps". "205 millimeters!" Sounds great, but don't forget the large front and rear overhangs that seriously limit flotation ... But what am I talking about? This car was not created for off-road! Although in winter, the owner of an all-wheel drive Toyota Venza will feel very confident on the road.

American and Russian Venza will be slightly different from each other. So, we will have xenon headlights already in the basic version, the external rear-view mirrors will be different, the rear bumper will slightly change, the headlight washer will appear, and the suspension will receive different settings.

An ambiguous car! During the test drive of the Toyota Venza, it became clear that the undoubted advantages of this model include a really spacious interior, decent noise insulation, high ground clearance and four-wheel drive. And also a high level of security, a large number of all kinds of niches and pockets, luxurious basic equipment. However, it feels like Venza is years old. This is noticeable in the unpretentious interior and not the most comfortable seats. Suspension? We are still silent about it - Russian cars will receive a slightly different setting. And this is good, because the American versions were not pleased with either comfort or handling.
