Among the many refreshed models heading to the New York Auto Show this week for their first public appearance is the 2013 Toyota Venza.
The Japanese firm’s mid-size crossover gets some subtle exterior revisions, including a less complicated front grille, new headlamp fixtures with LED daytime running lights on higher trim models, a redesigned front bumper with a restyled lower grille, and new tail lamp graphics.
Completing the changes on the outside are the new 19-inch wheel designs and three fresh exterior colors named, Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl, and Cosmic Gray Mica.
The interior is upgraded with new standard features, including the addition of a blind spot mirror and outer mirror turn signals with puddle lamps on the base LE, and Toyota’s Entune multimedia system on the XLE and Limited grades.
For 2013, the Venza continues to be offered with two powerplants, a 2.7-liter four-cylinder unit producing 181hp and returning 23mpg combined (FWD), and a 3.5-liter V6 with 268hp rated at 22mpg (FWD). All-wheel drive is offered as an option on both models.
