The 2011 Toyota Venza doesn't quite exhibit the top-notch interior quality of past Toyota models, but it is a tad nicer than its current Camry stablemate. Its design in particular is rather fetching and practical to boot, with a sleek center console that features a high-mounted shifter that frees up space between the seats. This allows for a large bin, generously sized cupholders and smaller bins perfect for iPods and other small devices. The audio and climate controls are a new design for Toyota, but they remain user-friendly.
The 2011 Toyota Venza although it lacks a third-row seat, the Venza provides loads of passenger space, particularly in the rear, which features reclining seatbacks. A bit more driver seat adjustment would be nice, though. The cargo area can swallow 70 cubic feet of stuff with the rear seat folded and a healthy 34.4 cubes with the seats up. A tilt and telescope steering wheel, eight-way power driver�s seat and four-way power passenger�s seat, power windows, locks and mirrors, and dual zone automatic climate control are among standard features. Also included in the base price of every 2011 Venza is a power rear liftgate, cruise control, and a 3.5-inch instrument-panel multi-information display for outside temperature, instant and average fuel economy, distance to empty, average speed, and air conditioning settings.
The 2011 Toyota Venza dashboard control system is gorgeous. The dashboard-mounted shifter is a design marvel, and frees space in the floor-mounted center console for retractable cup holders and an iPod/MP3-player bin. Most importantly, the Venza offers a laudable amount of space for both cargo and occupants. Its rear reclining seat can handle two adults or three children comfortably. With all seats down, the Venza boasts a very healthy 70 cubic feet of storage space.
The 2011 Toyota Venza is available with a four- or six-cylinder engine and can be had in either front- or all-wheel drive. All versions feature a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.7-liter four-cylinder produces 182 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque. In Edmunds performance testing, a four-cylinder, front-drive Venza went from zero to 60 mph in 9.3 seconds an average time compared to similarly powered crossovers. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 21 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 20/25/22 with all-wheel drive. The 3.5-liter V6 produces 268 hp and 246 lb-ft of torque. In Edmunds performance testing, it accelerated an all-wheel-drive Venza from zero to 60 mph in a quick 6.9 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 19/26/22 with front drive and 18/25/21 with AWD. This is strong for a vehicle of its size and power.
The 2011 Toyota Venza is a five-passenger wagon available in two trim levels, which correspond to its two engines. The four-cylinder Venza comes standard with 19-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamps, foglamps, privacy glass, a power tailgate, keyless entry, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, an eight-way power driver seat (includes power lumbar), a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a large color trip computer display, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio and an iPod/USB audio interface. The Venza V6 adds 20-inch wheels along with its bigger engine.
The 2011 Toyota Venza price MSRP is $27,235-$30,510. That represents a modest $200 increase over the 2010 Venza. (All base prices in this review include the manufacturer�s mandated destination fee. The factory�s fee for the 2011 Venza is $760, Toyotas sold in certain Southeaster and Gulf states are delivered by independent distributors and may carry a different destination charge.) The 2011 Toyota Venza equipped with the four-cylinder engine has a base price of $27,235 with front-wheel drive and $28,685 with AWD. The 2011 Toyota Venza equipped with the V-6 engine has a base price of $29,060 with front-wheel drive and $30,510 with AWD.
