About the 2010 Toyota Venza
1st generation, second model year.
Toyota positioned the Venza as a stylish alternative to a traditional midsize sedan: higher seating, easier entry, and much more cargo flexibility, but a lower, more car-like feel than a typical SUV. Its core appeal was everyday comfort and usefulness rather than rugged image. The big hatch opening, reclining and folding rear seat, quiet cabin, and available AWD made it a fit for families and commuters who wanted Camry-like ease with more space.
Toyota positioned the 2010 Venza as a well-equipped, car-like crossover with easier access and more cargo flexibility than a midsize sedan. Its single core grade included dual-zone climate control, a power driver's seat, reclining fold-flat rear seats and seven airbags.
