Donning the looks of a wagon and the stance of a crossover, the Toyota Venza is a vehicle all its own, benefiting from the advantages of each of its signature configurations. It holds up to five passengers comfortably and features a roomy interior with ample storage that is perfect for active families on the go. Thanks to its high-performing, efficient V-6 engine, the Venza even sports outstanding fuel economy ratings and a 3,500-pound towing capacity, supporting its crossover build. For 2014, the Venza maintains its appeal by outfitting its Limited model with front/rear parking sensors and introducing power-folding mirrors on LE and XLE editions.

Complete with 70 cubic feet of maximum cargo space and 36.3 cubic feet of space with the rear seats up, the Toyota Venza features plenty of room to transport up to five passengers. The backseat comes with reclining seatback cushions, providing optimal comfort, and leg/headroom is well above average -  ideal for both children and adults. Aside from the space benefits, mentioned in many 2014 Toyota Venza reviews, the cabin also comes with ample storage, including a generous console bin, multiple cupholders and a variety of small storage compartments.

A standard 2.7L four-cylinder engine, producing 181 horsepower and 182 lb.-ft. of torque, powers each LE/XLE 2014 Venza model, but nothing compares to the optional V-6 powertrain that Houston buyers can take advantage of in place of the four cylinder. Delivering 268 horsepower and 246 lb.-ft. of torque, the 3.5L V-6 engine comes outfitted with a six-speed automatic transmission. It is incredibly speedy and can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than seven seconds. Finished off with a fuel economy rating that is on par with the four-cylinder engine, it is also a top choice for buyers who want a car with speed and sufficient gas mileage.
