This year sees the Venza undergo a few style touch-ups and some modifications to the options packages. Often thought of as a big Camry or a small Sienna, the Venza has been around for five years now and comes factory-standard with a four-cylinder engine. There’s also a six-cylinder version. In both cases, front-wheel drive is standard, but there’s optional AWD is you’re willing to fork out more money. All versions have an automatic transmission.
