Overview

Competing in the compact SUV the 2014 Toyota Venza Wagon goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Ford Edge, the Nissan Murano, and the Subaru Outback. Spread across 3 trims, the Venza starts off at a base price of MSRP $27,950 and carries on to $39,570. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. Starting off is the 2.7L Inline 4 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. Making 181 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque, this engine makes the Venza capable of accelerating from a standstill to 60 MPH in just 9.3 seconds and carries the capability to tow 1,000 pounds. One can also opt for a bigger 3.5L V6 engine that is paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission. With 268 horsepower and 246 lb-ft of torque, this engine gets you a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds and is available in 9 stunning colors.

Buying Advice

If you want to get the most out of your money, we'd recommend the base $27,950 LE trim level with a $750 LE convenience package as it adds some much needed features such as a rearview camera, and a power liftgate.
