Overview & Reviews

The Toyota Venza gets the slightest of styling tweaks for 2013. More importantly, it gets additional standard features such as blind spot mirrors for the base LE, driver memory functions for the XLE and LED running lights for the Limited. A touchscreen interface is now standard on all Venzas, while Toyota's Entune suite of smartphone-based services has been added to the list of available features.

• Well equipped.
• Powerful and efficient V6
• Pleasant ride

• Spacious interior

• So-so acceleration and fuel economy from four-cylinder engine.
• A few disappointing interior bits

  Brakes - 2013 Toyota Venza
  By Drew Gratts - February 24 - 9:49 am

  Leased for 5 years ,, the car was pulling left on braking. temperature on right disk 116f, on left disk 165f., proof of imbalance. The cabin noise is excessive. You may not have noticed but the steering wheel is at an angle in other word of center.

  still pretty happy after 15K - 2013 Toyota Venza
  By ldecastro1 - November 23 - 5:10 pm

  I bought my 2013 Venza LE AWD last April, so I have almost had it one year. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I liked the exterior design when they 1st came out several years ago. The inside of the car is very roomy all around. The kids have plenty of space in the back and the car is wider than most. I am a pretty big guy, so I appreciate the width of the drivers seat. It also has a nice large trunk. The electric steering take a bit to get used to (feels a little loose at first) and this car also rides pretty rough compared to most American-made cars. You really need to take it for a long test drive before you buy it. This car is absolutely amazing in the snow.

  versatile, good looking, good value - 2013 Toyota Venza
  By donpnelson - May 2 - 7:12 pm

  Ive only had my gray XLE AWD for a few days but so far Im pleased. I was looking for a reliable, good looking ride with decent mpg and utility thats reasonably fun to drive. The Venza is great looking. The sheet metal which hasnt changed since the model was introduced in 2009 looks great from all angles and is enhanced with the bold 20" alloy wheels and the dual chrome tipped exhaust. Most notable change is the grill which looks good Its nicely equipped including the entune audio/nav system with backup camera, power tailgate, smart key, homelink Solid feel, reasonably fun to drive, quick and nimble. Good headroom (no sunroof) was essential as Im 6-6. Seats are comfortable.

  First Impressions - 2013 Toyota Venza
  By tduke - January 11 - 8:21 am

  Just took delivery of a 2013 Venza FWD Limited. Cross shopped this vehicle with the Honda Crosstour and considered the Ford Edge. I liked the exterior stying and relative quiet and performance. Reliability remains to be seen but hope its better than my previous GM product. Im hoping gas mileage is 23 mpg or better as most of my driving is on the highway at cruising speeds.
