Toyota Venza Preview PDF Manual
The Venza is available with an all-new 2.7-litre 4-cylinder engine developing 182 hp and 182 lb-ft. of torque, or with a 3.5-litre V6 producing 268 hp and 246 lb-ft. of torque. Both these engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and also can channel torque to all four wheels via an on-demand all-wheel-drive system. The beauty of this system is that it does not wait for a front wheel to spin to send power to the rear wheels. It does it as soon as the driver accelerates, no matter the type of acceleration.
Incidentally, the latter designation is banned from the vocabulary of American consumers, despite their past fondness for this type of vehicle. Toyota’s semantic and linguistic contortions aside, the Venza can easily be considered a Camry station wagon, since it rests on a modified version of the Camry platform. It also comes with elements originating from the Highlander in addition to its own specially designed parts.
Distinguishing the Venza from a classic station wagon are its higher, 20.5-cm ground clearance and its 19- and 20-inch tires, depending on the model. It can transfer up to 50% of torque to the rear wheels and if no spin is detected, it transmits 100% of torque to the front wheels. Towing capacity with the 2.7-litre is 1,133 kg, whereas the V6 can tow 1,587 kg. The Venza is equipped with a hill-start feature that holds it in place for a few seconds in an incline.
