A few months ago, Russian dealers began officially accepting applications for the purchase of a new premium crossover called the Toyota Venza-2013. Technical characteristics of this car are known to many drivers in America and Europe. As for the official show, it took place as part of the last New York motor show, where the novelty successfully debuted. It is also worth saying that the assembly of the Russian series of crossovers will be handled by Americans at one of the plants in Kentucky, and already at the moment a new car can be purchased by all interested motorists. In this article we will talk about the new design of the SUV, the interior, and also consider its technical characteristics.
Toyota Venza. Appearance
If you look more closely at the body of the new item, you will notice a mismatch in the classification to which it belongs. In its appearance, it is more likely an all-terrain passenger wagon, however, according to the developers themselves, Toyota Venza is positioned as a full-fledged crossover. We will not delve into these disputes, but rather consider in more detail the design of a restyled SUV. The novelty, compared with its predecessors, has found new headlights, a radiator grill, and also a modified power bumper. More repeaters added to the mirrors. In general, we can say that these are the usual changes for all Japanese restyled cars.
Interior
The interior of the car is literally riddled with elegance. And this is not strange, because the novelty does not apply to the budget, but to a serious premium class. As a finish, the Japanese use carbon and wood inserts, the steering wheel and seats are lined with leather, and the dashboard has now found a more pleasant backlight. There is enough space in the cabin, and thanks to the possibility of folding the rear row of seats, the SUV turns into a full-fledged wagon. For the comfort of the rear passengers, the installation of armrests, cup holders, various drawers and a glove compartment for storing small parts, as well as the installation of anatomical seats with heating and adjustment of the back back.
Specifications
Toyota Venza for American buyers will be equipped with two engines to choose from, while domestic consumers can enjoy only one gasoline unit. This unit is a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2699 cubic centimeters and a maximum power of 185 horsepower. By the way, the developers specially modified the engine for Russian operating conditions, adding an additional 3 horsepower to it. Looking at such a design and technical specifications, Toyota Venza-2013 will definitely be a conqueror of Russian off-road (although its clearance is a bit small).
Options and pricesThe new SUV will have three trim levels (Elegance, Elegance Plus and Prestige), the cost of which varies from one and a half million to 1 million 180 thousand rubles. At the same time, the technical characteristics of Toyota Venza in terms of gearbox and engines may vary depending on the wishes of the client.
