The segment-busting 2010 Toyota Venza adds new standard convenience features to the vehicle designed for Canadian drivers

(TORONTO) – With a choice of 4-cyl or V6 and FWD or AWD, the versatility of an SUV and the comfort and drivability of a passenger car, the 2010 Toyota Venza is fresh yet sophisticated in design – leaving it in a class by itself.  The latest Venza starts with an MSRP under $30,000 and includes new standard convenient and fun features.
 
“For 2010, all Toyota Venza models come equipped with USB audio capability and Bluetooth® capability to make driving the newest Toyota safer and more enjoyable for today’s Canadian drivers,” said Warren Orton, Director at Toyota Canada Inc. “With a choice of engines and drive trains, a bold and refined design, upscale comfort and surprising versatility, the Venza delivers a mix of innovative technologies and thoughtful touches that make it stand out from the crowd. And the Venza does this in order to offer Canadian drivers the benefits of Toyota’s ‘more power – less fuel’ philosophy and legendary Toyota quality.”
 
All 2010 Toyota Venza models can accommodate up to five passengers or more than 70 cubic feet of cargo, making it easy for Canadians to incorporate a Venza into their busy, ever-changing lifestyles.
 
For maximum fuel efficiency with plenty of power, the Toyota Venza’s 2.7L 4-cylinder delivers 182 peak horsepower and up to 182 lb-ft of torque. Front wheel drive models deliver impressive fuel efficiency of  8.5L / 100 KM (combined city/highway), while those seeking the added confidence of all-wheel-drive also enjoy impressive fuel efficiency – just 8.8L / 100 KM. Either way, the 4-cylinder Venza rides on 19” all-season radials and sports a 1,134 KG (2,500 LB) towing rating.
 
Looking for even more power and performance? The 2010 Toyota Venza is also offered in V6-equipped models that generate 268 peak horsepower, up to 246 lb-ft of torque, and a 1,587 KG (3,500 LB) towing rating, delivering fuel efficiency of 9.5L / 100 KM combined for front-wheel-drive V6 models, and 9.9L / 100 KM combined for all-wheel-drive V6 models. V6 Venza models express their added performance by riding on 20” all-season radials and sporting dual exhaust pipes.
 
Regardless of engine size, the Toyota Venza is rated as a Tier 2 Bin 5 vehicle for emissions performance thanks to numerous Toyota engine management technologies, such as Dual Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence and Sequential Multiport Electronic Fuel Injection. A six-speed automatic super electronically controlled transmission with overdrive, sequential shift mode, a gate-type shifter, lock-up torque converter and transmission cooler is standard on all models, delivering smooth shifts, plenty of passing power, and better fuel efficiency.
 
The Toyota Venza is ready for anything, with standard handling and safety features that include:
  • Vehicle Stability Control (VSC);
  • Traction Control (TRAC);
  • Hill-start Assist Control (HAC);
  • Seven air bags that form a protective cocoon (dual stage driver and front passenger air bags, front seat mounted side air bags, driver knee air bag, front and rear head/side curtain air bags);
  • Active Front Headrests with Whiplash Protection;
  • Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all five seating positions, including front seatbelt anchor height adjusters, pre-tensioners and force limiters;
