2014 Toyota Venza XLE AWD V6

Meet the Gray 2014 Toyota Venza—an SUV that’s equal parts practical sidekick and road-trip enabler, with the kind of confident stance that makes errands feel a little more adventurous. Under the hood sits a smooth 3.5L V6, paired with an electronic 6-speed automatic transmission (with a sequential shift mode when you feel like being a little more hands-on). And when the weather decides to get dramatic, the full-time AWD drivetrain helps you keep moving with calm, planted traction.

This Venza doesn’t just look ready—it drives like it, too. The ride is composed thanks to a strut suspension setup, gas-pressurized shocks, and front and rear anti-roll bars, while 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, brake assist, and hill hold control add confidence when traffic tightens up or hills get steep. Those 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels give it a sporty, upscale presence, and details like fog lamps, deep tinted glass, and a rear wiper/defroster make it feel prepared for real life, not just sunny-day cruising.

Inside, it’s built for comfort and convenience without being fussy. Dual-zone automatic climate control helps keep peace between driver and passenger, and the cabin includes thoughtful touches like a compass, outside temperature gauge, cruise control on the steering wheel, and a day-night auto-dimming rearview mirror. You’ll also appreciate the HomeLink garage door transmitter, multiple 12V power outlets, and a driver information center that keeps the basics right where you want them.

Need flexibility? The 60/40 split-folding rear seat and cargo-area concealed storage make it easy to switch from people duty to hauling duty, and the roll-up cargo cover helps keep things tidy. Add in handy extras like cupholders front and rear, a floor console with covered storage, and cargo lighting, and it’s clear this Venza was designed to be lived with.

Safety is well covered with side impact beams, front airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags for both rows, a driver knee airbag, a tire pressure warning system, and rear child safety locks.

And for extra peace of mind, a Carfax report is available for this Venza—so you can check out its history before you hit the road.
