Who knew a sensible vehicle choice could be so stylish? Venza may offer everyday practicality and comfort, but it doesn't wear mom jeans. Combining concept-car looks with a versatile interior and available V-6 power, Venza is a unique take on the traditional family wagon. And while it may share a platform with the Camry, it's distinguished by its higher ground clearance, wider stance and convenient rear hatch door, offering added utility for family road trips and backcountry exploring.
In addition, you should check out the 2015 Toyota Venza in Phoenix if you desire a utility vehicle that can tow up to 3,500 pounds, seat up to five, entertain its passengers and look fashionable at the same time. As an added bonus, the SUV offers all-weather, all-terrain all-wheel drive for those times when you're driving through a monsoon or down a rocky path to your favorite Sedona hiking trail.
Venza is available in three trim levels, LE, XLE and Limited, and no matter the model you select, KBB.com's 2015 Toyota Venza review says you'll enjoy "more room and versatility than is found in most compact SUVs ... in a sleek package with an upscale environment." On the interior, there's plentiful head, hip and shoulder room for passengers, while up front a curvy dashboard design steals attention. When it comes to features, owners will be pleased with the SUV's wide array of cabin appointments, which range from essentials like cruise control and dual-zone automatic climate control to tech must-haves like Bluetooth Hands-free Phone and SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
There are also several options when it comes to the powertrain setup. The starter engine is a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with 181 horsepower, which is followed by an optional 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 268 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard and power is sent to the front wheels by Venza's standard six-speed automatic transmission. And as mentioned above, shoppers purchasing the 2015 Toyota Venza in Phoenix may substitute FWD for AWD.
