The new Toyota Venza 2009 Review and Specification

All Toyota Venza models will be equipped with an array of standard features including auto dual zone air conditioning, AM/FM six-disc CD, tilt/telescopic steering wheel with audio controls, remote keyless entry, electrochromic rearview mirror with compass, a multi-information display, cruise control, optitron gauges, rear wiper, privacy glass, and much more. On V6 models Toyota Venza will come standard with dual exhaust tips and will be the first Toyota model to ride on standard 20-inch alloy wheels. Four-cylinder models will come standard with 19-inch alloy wheels.

Toyota Venza will be available in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. It will provide drivers and passengers the best of both worlds by delivering the quiet comfortable ride expected from a full-size sedan along with the peace-of-mind that comes with all-wheel-drive.
Engine
Power will be generated by an available 3.5-liter V6 that will produce 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 246 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,700 rpm with a towing capability of 3,500 pounds. Standard power will come from an all-new 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that will deliver capable performance and provide excellent fuel efficiency and low emissions. Both engines will be mated with a six-speed sequential-shift electronically-controlled automatic transmission.
Toyota Venza will be equipped with a comprehensive list of standard safety features. It will provide a total of seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag, front seat-mounted side airbags, and side curtain airbags for both rows of seats. Venza will also be the first sedan with Toyota's STAR safety system, featuring anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, and vehicle stability control. Venza will also feature active head rests as standard equipment.
Safety
In recent years, all Toyota sport utility vehicles have been equipped with what the company calls its Star Safety System—enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC) and anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). The 2009 Venza becomes the first sedan to carry this same array of features. In addition, the Venza will be equipped with seven air bags as standard equipment. These will include front and seat-mounted side air bags for the driver and front-seat passenger, side curtain air bags that will cover both rows, and a knee air bag for the driver. Venza also will have active headrests designed to minimize whiplash forces.
