The Toyota Venza is a mid-size crossover SUV that was unveiled at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. It was designed and engineered in the United States and will be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) in Georgetown, Kentucky. The Venza is expected to be priced between the RAV4 ($21,500) and Highlander ($27,500), though it is slightly longer than the Highlander.
Based on the Toyota FT-SX concept car unveiled at the 2005 North American International Auto Show, the Venza uses the Avalon chassis and will offer Toyota's 3.5L 2GR-FE V6 and a new 2.7L I4. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive will be available as an option. It is also Toyota's only crossover SUV not to have third-row seating.
The Venza will be produced at TMMK starting in November 2008. Toyota projects sales of between 75,000-100,000 Venzas per year
