The Venza LE includes a blind-spot mirror and outer mirror turn-signals with puddle lamps.

LE and also XLE models are readily available with either of both engine alternatives: a 181-hp, 2.7 litre four-cylinder or a 268-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 with either front- or all-wheel drive. The Limited is powered solely by the V-6 engine in either front- or all-wheel-drive arrangements.

Calling the 2013 Venza "brand-new" would certainly be a stretch, and Toyota concurs: It describes the modifications as "considerable updates," a statement with which we could concur in good conscience.
