The 2009 Toyota Venza is a midsize crossover that blends the comfort and fuel economy of a sedan with the cargo space and visibility of an SUV. Available in FWD or AWD, its two engine options are a 2.7-liter four-cylinder generating 182 horsepower and a 3.5-liter V6 producing 268 horsepower, both paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Offering trim levels V6 and I4, the Venza comes standard with Toyota's Star Safety System—featuring stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes with brake assist—and a full complement of airbags, including a driver's knee airbag. The interior features a standard six-disc CD changer, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and an optional 13-speaker JBL sound system with navigation system. However, Toyota made no major changes to the Venza for 2009 as it is the inaugural model.
