Toyota is a company rich in history, with several models on offer today that honor a long-lasting legacy. For example, the Toyota Venza is a crossover SUV that’s evolved over its 15 years on the market. Let’s explore the history of this model and see how it’s changed since it was first launched.
2008: The First Generation
Toyota first launched this new SUV in 2008, with a 2.7-liter 1AR-FE four-cylinder engine or a 3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6 engine available. It could generate up to 268 horsepower with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive available. Available luxury features include automatic HID lighting high beams, heated side view mirrors, and a 13-speaker JBL sound system with Bluetooth® connectivity.
2012: A New Design
In 2012, the Toyota Venza received a facelift that tightened up the contours for better aerodynamics and style. With new 19-inch alloy wheels and Toyota Entune™ support, it made a big impression on Toyota drivers.
2020: The Relaunch
The Toyota Venza was discontinued in 2015, but in 2020, Toyota relaunched the Venza brand beginning with the 2021 model year. The standard all-wheel drive hybrid model features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine and dual electric motors, which generate up to 219 horsepower.
2023: The Latest Model
Toyota continues to innovate with the 2023 model. The 2023 Toyota Venza includes several available options, including a digital rearview mirror, nine-speaker JBL® premium audio system, and Star Gaze® fixed panoramic roof. With four available drive modes and electronic on-demand AWD, it maintains the hybrid power and performance you expect.
