Do you remember the Toyota Venza? No? Neither do most. Debuting in 2009, Toyota released the Venza SUV as a link between the RAV4 and Highlander, their compact and mid-size SUVs as a more car-centric offering. It was, in fact, based on the Camry even. After a few years of modest sales success, the mk1 Venza was discontinued after dwindling sales (Mind you, canceling models is a huge rarity in Toyotaland). However, it was only a year ago that Toyota announced a second generation of the Venza, based on the current RAV4 Hybrid, and when I say based I mean basically identical; Same engine, same wheelbase even. This puts the new Venza in a precarious situation of understanding where the Venza stands in the Toyota lineup if it s not a link between the RAV4 and Highlander and rather just is a RAV4. Watson, we have a new case to investigate.
