I actually do love this SUV. I think if I were to get one it would certainly be the Limited edition. I do feel however that Toyota should update the body of this vehicle slightly to make it a bit more competitive.
Yeah!! it is a great with a lot of driving pleasure but I wonder why its production was stopped. I will like the body to modified into full SUV but retain the engine and other accessories. I have 2014 XLE model. I enjoy driving it.
It is truly regrettable that the Venza is being discontinued as it has so much to offer. There is great need for the interior to be upgraded, most certainly the dash, but the cost for that was probably balanced against sales volume on an aging design. So its time has come, but most certainly it will be back in another “new” model. Think a lower price Volvo V60 AWD as a direction.
Rick Martyn Unfortunately, this vehicle was discontinued here in the U.S 2015. Toyota still made it available in Canada for 2016. It was discontinued due to a lack of sales. I liked it because it was bigger than a car, but smaller than a full sized suv. I wanted to purchase this vehicle here where I live, but couldn't get anyone at the dealership to helpe me. :-(
In my opinion, when the SUV craze is over, this is the model for the family car of the future. The Venza is really a wagonized Camry which has great sales volume, but is an aging design. But Toyota took pains not to advertise the Venza as being a wagon, for sales reasons. I bought a 2015 Volvo V60 T5 AWD, and find the Venza to be quite similar, but cheapened up in some areas. With Toyota’s reputation for reliability, if I had to do it over again, I probably would take the Venza over the V60.
