With affordable pricing between $26,275 and $29,550 as suggested by the manufacturer, the 2010 Toyota Venza is a traditional sedan alternative with loads of style. Needless to say, Toyota financing options are very attractive right now. It combines the comfort of a car with the versatility of a SUV to grant drivers and occupants safe, affordable and near-luxury transportation. 2 engines choices are available, both coupled to a 6-speed automatic tranny with Sequential Shift Control. There's the stock 2.7L inline 4-cylinder that generates 182 horses at 5800 RPM and 182 lb-ft of twist at 4200. If you need or desire more power, then opt for the hefty 3.5L 268hp 246 lb-ft V6. Either engine chosen will act with the 6-speed to pull up to 2205 pounds and carry up to 825 more. 21/29 MPG fuel economy estimations are reported from the EPA.

The Toyota Venza 2010 seats 5 adults standard and allows everyone inside to stretch and enjoy their own personal space. The driver and front occupant will experience 40" of headroom, 60" of shoulder room, 56" of hip room and 40.2 inches of leg room. Rear passengers are not forgotten whatsoever and still enjoy almost-equal amount of spaciousness.
