The 2013 Venza is available in LE, XLE and Limited grades. The LE and XLE models are available with all powertrain combinations : four-cylinder, V6, front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) ; the Toyota Venza Limited is powered by the V6 engine only, in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations. Value has been enhanced and ordering simplified with the addition of many standard features all told three grades.



Toyota Venzas aerodynamic shape has been tastefully modified with a new upper and lower grille, fog lamps and rear taillights. The updated styling is complemented by a new 19-inch wheel design and three new exterior colors : Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl, and Cosmic Gray Mica.

The four-cylinder Venza is EPA-rated at 21 MPG city 27 MPG highway for the FWD model and 20 25 for the AWD.

The 3.5-liter V6 produces 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 246 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,700 rpm.

Both engines are teamed with a six-speed sequential-shift electronically controlled automatic transmission with intelligence (ECT-i).
