2014 Toyota Venza offers something a little different

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- There have been innumerable changes to the designs of the sport utility vehicle over the years. Those changes have resulted in the creation of the crossover SUV. This new class of vehicles, by the very intent of its designers is far easier to control than older versions of the SUV family. Toyota versions of this kind of vehicle would include the very popular Toyota RAV4. While this class, the RAV4 included, are very nimble for their size and much more compliant on pavement than their ancestors, they still may be over kill for some buyers. That leaves the unique 2014 Toyota Venza currently available at Toyota of Naperville as a strong alternative.

The 2014 Toyota Venza would probably be best described as a crossover wagon. It does most things a crossover SUV will do in terms of interior crossover space and passenger hauling. The 2014 Venza does this without having such a large vehicle that has a higher center of gravity that can be off putting to those not ready to take the leap. The new Venza features plenty of room for five passengers, more than you would find in many full-size sedans and with its 60/40 folding rear seat, reveals a cargo area of more than 70 cubic-feet. That space is more than what is offered in larger crossover SUVs like the Ford Edge. The Toyota Venza price is also one that is only separated from that of the Ford Edge by around $200 depending on trim level and added options.

Like most Toyota vehicles available in Naperville, IL at Toyota of Naperville, the base model of the 2014 Venza has a version with a firm eye on fuel-economy and another with an engine choice that provides more performance, but also doesn't sacrifice much in the way of fuel consumption. Base models are powered by a 2.7-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 181 horsepower and can achieve around 20 miles per gallon during city driving conditions. Moving up to the V-6 options provides the ability to turn loose 268 horsepower with a minimal drop off in fuel-economy.
