The 2012 Toyota Venza will fall in line with the rest of Toyota’s lineup by employing a model strategy that includes LE, XLE, and Limited trims. At its launch, the uniquely styled Venza was offered in one variant with a long list of a la carte options.

The XLE adds leather seats, a power adjustable passenger seat, heated seats, faux-wood trim, Smart Key, and the power liftgate/back-up camera combo. Options include a Premium Package (pano roof with JBL sound system) and a Navigation Package (voice-activated, touch screen navigation, JBL sound, and back up camera).
Last but not least, the Limited includes the XLE’s Navigation Package plus high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights and automatic high beams.
