It passed quite a bit of time since the crossover for this market was presented for the Russian buyers, which, without a doubt, can be attributed to the premium segment. Official dealers have already begun applications for this model, the restyled version of which was met with delight as part of the last car dealership in New York. It is assumed that the "Toyota-Vezenza" modification will be supplied to the territory of the Russian Federation, the feedback on which gratitude from buyers almost all over the world was filled. Indeed, within the framework of the 2013/2014 model year, the appearance of a car of the previous generation was changed, which until recently was not as aimed at the Russian Federation.
Features of the production process
On which the car will be collected, located on the territory of the United States of America in Kentucky. So, about concerns about poor-quality work and insufficient qualifications of employees can already be forgotten. After all, this company has long been specializing in his professional activities, and choosing him as the main assembly base for the updated "Toyota-Vezenza", the reviews about the previous generation of which were positive, more than justified. After all, the plant in Kentucky will supply its products not only the Russian market, but also customers all over the CIS, where regional conditions are largely similar.
Layout
If you deal with the peculiarities of the body "Toyota-Women", then, to his surprise, it can be found that it is not very like for a classic crossover, it should rather be attributed to the wizards of increased patency, which occupy an intermediate niche in the classification of cars. To build this model, a platform from the sedan "Camry" of the previous generation was used because of its high unification and reliability. However, the Japanese Corporation classifies the Toyota-Vezen car, the reviews about which in the country of the rising sun were not the most enthusiastic as a parquetor. In approval from manufacturers, increased clearance is underlined, a powerful power plant and a four-wheel drive, so in all the model relate to crossovers, but with a remark of its application only in the conditions of "urban jungle". After all, with all the wellness of the car, he has a fairly narrow scope of application, which can be verified in the process of comparing various parameters "Toyota-Vezenza" 2014, the technical characteristics of which without the shade of embarrassment indicate that the model is intended for use on high-quality road surfaces of various transport junctions , highways or autobahn, and not on Raswick. After all, in this car, great attention is paid to the comfort and functionality, which, in turn, implies the developed transport infrastructure and the corresponding consumer. In the absence of something from this, this car will become unclaimed.
Faislifting
Restyling, which was held at the end of last year, made a lot of innovation in the outdoor of the car "Toyota-Vezenza". Reviews about this event fully reflected the delight of critics and motorists, because in this model there was a whole complex of favorable changes - instead of old headlights, a completely new optics was installed, a more durable bumper was set into place of the previous ones, also underwent changes. The side mirrors have gained light indication with repetition of turns, and clearance and wheels were prepared for the features of Russian expanses. The interior and exterior of the car have fun and became much more modern, while maintaining the features of their progenitor in the face of Toyota-Khurry.
Linear dimensions and reviews of owners
The car retained its dimensions, but it became slightly higher: with a width of 1905 mm and the length of the PARKEnter in 4833 mm, the distance from the bottom of the wheel to the top of the roof was 1.61 meters. At the same time, the base and road clearance remained unchanged - 2775 and 250 mm, respectively. In complete equipment and the maximum configuration of the car weighs 1.86 tons, and for models with a full drive - 1.945 tons. The volume of the car's trunk is 975 liters, which is quite a lot for the vehicle of the Toyota-Women class. Owners of the owners of this model bribe any connoisseur, because the luxury and elegance of the salon are above all silence - in the interior, bold combinations of various materials are used, which will qualitatively imitate natural wood and carbon fiber, and the leather seat upholstery with unobtrusive illumination of the instrument panel will surprise with its functionality. In the cabin, it is convenient and spacious, but if you need to move the overall cargo or baggage, the rear seats can be folded, which will increase the available space for another 60% of its capacity. At the same time, with long trips, no one from the passengers will have complaints, because the adjustable backs of the chairs are provided for them, niches for storing various small things, armrests and cup holders, heating system and much more.
Nuances of autoninki in the Russian Federation
Unfortunately, for the Russian public, this crossover will be represented only with a 1Ar-Fe power unit at 2.7 liters, this is a "junior" engine, which is installed on the car "Toyota-Whether". Fuel consumption, reviews and operational features of this motor at 185 hp Do not cause complaints from many users, because its four-cylinder "heart" is supplied with a timing chain drive, a gas distribution system and 16 valves such as DOHC. As part of the preparation for Russian realities and fuel insignificantly increased the power of the car and torque, their maximum reaches 136 kW and 247 nm.
Dynamic characteristics
These indicators are enough to develop a speed of 180 km / h without difficulty, until the first hundreds of cars accelerate no more than 9.5 seconds - for its mass this is very good time. When using a manual gearbox, these figures could still be increased, but the "Toyota-Wheel" will be provided with only a six-speed sequential automatic transmission. In the database, the car will not be installed a four-wheel drive, its connected variation can only be obtained in top-end sets (4WD functions only when the front axis is slipped and when connected through a multi-disc clutch). In the urban cycle, fuel consumption will not exceed 12.3-13.3 liters per 100 km, at the same time, with a rustic cycle, the flow rate is much less - 7.1-8.0 liters.
Equipment of the machine that predicted expectations
Maximum comfort and minimal rolls during road linen movement will provide a fully independent suspension. After all, the new "Toyota-Vezenza", the reviews of which do not cause doubts about who will become the leader in sales of this price segment, equipped with special settings, which reduce vibrations and fluctuations on Russian transport arteries. Since the suspension on MacPherson racks was adapted to possible irregularities, it will reduce their impact to a minimum. In addition, the most modest equipment already includes ventilated brake discs on the front wheels and standard on the rear.
Security in priority
There is also a mass of various electronic assistants: help when driving from the slope or on it, anti-lock and slip system and many other pleasant additions for the car "Toyota-Vezenza". Feedback on security professionals in this car do not diverge, because it is all organized at the highest level. It is worth only to make sure that on their own, since the front seats of the model are equipped with a waist support feature, already in the database there are airbags for passengers and a driver, curtains for the first and second row of seats, which prevents possible damage in road traffic accidents.
Premium segment in perfect performance
In addition to high-quality assembly and ergonomic interior, the novelty of the Russian market still has something to boast. After all, the wealth of the packages of this model had to the taste, so the reviews about Toyota-Vezen cars, even according to the results of non-losing test drives, were filled with enthusiastic descriptions of differences in the interiors of Prestige, Eleganse and Elegance + classes, thanks to which everyone can form all the necessary - from xenon headlights, light sensors, running lights, alloy discs of various sizes and to cruise control, immobilizer, parking sensors, heating seats, mirrors, windshield and much more. Auto in full will satisfy any wishes for the cost of 1,600,000 to 1,900,000 rubles.
On the Japanese manufacturer's hierarchical staircase, Toyota Venza takes place on one step lower than Highlander and is a direct competitor of another Japanese crossover, Honda Crosstour. Both of these cars are a universal solution for a family person who preferring an active lifestyle, but not to the detriment of comfort and speed.
The second generation Toyota Venza received an updated radiator grille consisting of three massive curved horizontally oriented ribs. Above it, the manufacturer's logo is located on the manner of Skoda car, forming a small beak on the hood. Head lighting headlamps have an elongated shape and look pretty stylish. Also, they boast of linated optics and garland daytime running lights.
Sizes of Toyota Venza.

Its overall dimensions are: length 4833 mm, width 1905 mm, height 1610 mm, wheelbase 2775 mm, and the size of the road lumen is 205 millimeters. Thanks to the solid road clearance, the crossover can easily storm the borders of the average size and easily move along the dirt roads away from civilization. For lovers to get out on nature, an all-wheel drive version, which has even greater permeability.
Toyota Venza trunk can please their capacity. With the backs of the second row of seats, there are 975 liters of free space. This is more than enough for everyday urban use and for a long trip.

Toyota Venza Engine and Transmission
Toyota Venza on the domestic market is equipped with a single power unit, a six-speed automatic transmission box, as well as a complete or front drive system. Although the choice and cannot be called extensive, but the proposed aggregates are quite universal and able to answer most of the requirements of potential buyers.
The Toyota Venza engine is a transversely located row gasoline atmospheric fourth of 2672 cubic centimeters. Large lathe, branded system of gas distribution and two upper camshafts allowed engineers to squeeze 185 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 247 nm of torque at 4,200 crankshaft revolutions per minute. With such a power unit and a full drive system, the crossover is gaining a speed of a hundred kilometers per hour in 10.6 seconds, and the high-speed ceiling, in turn, will be 180 kilometers per hour. The appetites of the engine are quite decent, but it is worth noting that the volume is rather big. Fuel consumption of Toyota Venza with a full drive will be 13.3 liters of gasoline per hundred kilometers of ways in the city pace of movement with frequent accelerations and braking, 8 liters during a measured trip along the country track and 10 liters of fuel per hundred in a mixed cycle of motion.

Toyota Venza will serve you with many kilometers and will give an unforgettable emotion from driving.
Video
On June 15, the official sales of Toyota Venza, a mining of Camry and Highlander models, start. The car came out american large and notable, but not without oddities. To study the character and "Americanism" of this "interclass" inventory phenomenon went to the historic homeland of Venza.
The young was no longer young: Toyota Venza developed in America went to production at the plant in Kentucky back in November 2008. In Russia, the "gray" channels are not imported to the "Vence". But only this year, Toyota, finally, officially brought an "American" to our market. As they say, it is better late than ever. Yes, and Venza, who survived in 2012, the easy, still thorn himself and looks like they say "from them", Pretty Good, that is, quite good. And if you suddenly ask how such a device, you can safely say: such a mix of Toyota Camry and Highlander. And this is not far from the truth. Toytovtsy and say that Venza is a combination of comfort and controllability of the Camry sedan with a capacity, functionality, high landing and large highlander crossover clearance.
Metis turned out to be even larger than the progenitor: Venza is 48 mm longer than a rather big "Highlander", although at a total height it is 150 mm below. But the clearance of "Veza" is only a millimeter less "daddy" (205 mm), and it is more convenient to climb it, because the planting height in the cabin is 70 mm lower than that of Highlander. By the distance between the first and second number of seats, the difference is completely only a few millimeters, and Tytovtsy are also stolen and the largest space on the "gallery" in the class.
Factory Railings on the roof are available to Americans in the form of an accessory, but in Russia they are not yet offered. But, unlike the United States, Russian Venza has already "in the base" - LED daylight lights. And the headlights are not halogen, but already xenne, and both near and far lights. And in the top configuration "Prestige" the headlights are also automatically switched from the far to the close and back. The headlight washer is also in the basic configuration. The wheels are already in the basic configuration - only 19-inch.
However, I look first in the trunk, which Yankees also declare almost the largest in the class. I click on the button of the fifth door, the lock opens, but the door itself is not from the place. Handles need to be opened, handles. But here there is an electric drive (though, without the memory of the position and only in the top version of "Prestige")! There is, but on the rise of the door it will only work from the buttons in the cabin and on the key chain. And the glass of the luggage door, by the way, does not open separately - contrary to American traditions.
But the trunk itself is really huge, to the ceiling behind the rear armchairs - 975 liters (y - 757 liters), the floor is low, the "gate" is very much, Georgia - I do not want. Only if something has rolled into the far corner, you will have to climb into the trunk with your feet, and it is easy to flaw about the discovering bumper. But if you fold the rear sofa, the volume of "shed" will reach two cubic meters - you can remove the half apartment! But Venza will go to the cottage to the douse with Venza already will already "print": automatic correction of the floor level under loading (as, say, y) in the rear suspension.
To the rear passengers of "Vezel" hospitality: the threshold is low and comfortable, wide doors open by almost 90 degrees and cover the lower part of the threshold itself, protecting it from dirt. True, to plant the mother-in-law on the third row will not work: unlike Highlander, Venza is only a five-seater. The rear sofa stands at 12 mm above the front seats, but the roof does not press (plus there is already a huge double hatch in the database) and it is very spacious here, there is, where to go the feet, and the knees do not rest in the back even shifted until the seat is stopped. The sofa itself, stitched into slippery skin, is completely flat on the profile and does not hold in steep turns. But the back is adjustable by the tilt, the head restraints are fitted well, right above the head, the lamp is shorter, so you can easily explore the book on the gallery. For complete happiness, there is not enough heating, which, for example, has a "Crowstore".
Salon "Veza" is offered in three three colors: beige and gray with brown and black inserts under the tree, as well as black with inserts that imitate carbon (in the photo). For security, 7 pillows are answered in the basic configuration, active front head restraints and belt pretensioners. At the same time, Venza "five-star" rating on the results of the crash tests of the American Insurance Institute of Road Safety (IIHS).
The third passenger, especially rising, is no longer so free. He feels his back the protruding armrest, in his feet there is a massive transmission tunnel, and the knees can rest in the sidewalls of the front back. It was still soiled a combination of premium "chips" with cheap solutions. For example, lifting glass, the servo drives in the last centimeters so that the window closes without a knock. But under the ceiling - as if removed with a suitcase, spacing exhaust handles, without any microlift, which now exist even on budgetary machines. American contrasts!
Plastic in the cabin is also made on the American PLA? In the upper part of the instrument and front door panel, it is soft, below - already hard and ringing. But it looks decent and does not creak on the go: at least in a new test car, the salon and the instrument panel "silent". But to creak and knock in some positions can slide armrest between the front chairs. Only the Yankees themselves the theme of plastics and creaks - to the lantern: they, unlike Russians, are not so looked at it. It is more important for them to be, where to joke the jar with a "cola" and sink a road smallers. With this, "Veza" full order, everything is just in American traditions. Pockets and pockets are full, the cup holders between the armchairs are large, with LED backlight. In the central console, the mini-branch of the trunk is immediately with three (!) Capacities with a total volume of 13.7 liters. In one of them, my camera was rushing, as in a black hole, and with the coofer! And I, naive, thought it was a big chevrolet tahoe ...
Gigantantia takes place and in the case of wide front armchairs. There are no questions about the settings of questions, but the seats clearly did under people wider and heavier me: I literally hang in 180 cm with my height. Developed side support, earned back profile? No, you did not hear! Everything is easier and without delights, like a home sofa. Changing the location of the ACP selector: when you use the manual mode of the box, the elbow rests on the back of the seat. Review also with nuances. The windshield racks are very massive and overlap the considerable viewing sector - be alert. The rear "janitor" is cleaned only a small "ambrusura", and in the front glass, though there is heated brushes, but there is no rain sensor from which there would be much more benefit than from the light sensor. Surprised side mirrors. But not the fact that they are only manually. Just the mirror elements and so small, and they still fled down a little, setting the lens into the angle, showing the car in the blind zone. Two-way solution: someone will probably like it, but I did not have time to get used to it.
The multimedia system and the navigator in the "Vezeny" Russified, and the radio is reconfigured under Russian frequencies. But the touch screen in all complexation is only a 6-inch (touchscreen by 7 inches only in the top-end configuration of Limited machines with Motors V6), and the navigation prompts are not duplicated to the screen under the windshield. I didn't like the "climate control" climate controls: they are slippery and fucked.
And how is it all riding? Unlike the United States, in Russia "Veza" with the V6 motor will not be sold: expensive, and an extra competitor for Highlander is not needed. Therefore, under the hood of the test machine - only a 4-cylinder 2.7-liter engine in 185 hp and the 6-speed "automatic". Motor issues a decent 247 nm of torque, but also Venza is not a fluff. The front-wheel drive version weighs 1860 kg, and the model run-in with a full drive is already 1945 kg. So, no miracles with dynamics: up to 100 km / h Venza AWD goes for 10.2 seconds, monophoded - for 9.9. Do you like to drive? But Venza is not very. She did not say that "vegetable", but set up more on a calm, measured drift. And if you need a speaker, the motor must be spinning under 4000 rpm and higher, where it demonstrates noticeable pickup. Although the pink under the back of the film "Fast and Furious" on acceleration is not worth waiting, and the tough sound of the engine is already beginning to break through, which in such a "take-off" mode also gives vibrations to the floor. In general, first the crossover seemed to be noisy: the suspension is heard, heard the background bubbing of the motor even in calm modes ... got behind the wheel on the third day - and it seems not so loud, apparently, used to the car.
In the process of test
middle fuel consumption amounted to
12.7 L.
Per 100 km path
But Venza does not bored, throws the nuances. Take, for example, "Avtomat". Its soft, but leisurely work with delays in response to adding or resetting the gas did not become the discovery of America. As with the fact that in the "Sport" mode, the tandem engine-box acts a little more active. But the logic of manual regime is a mystery! In the "Manual" automatic automatic transmission explicitly lives his life: the selected transmissions do not particularly hold, unauthorizedly switching "down" or "up" under pressed or discharged gas, and switching to elevated steps with active acceleration, on the contrary, does not allow.
I will also add that the box included in D does not hold a crossover on a slope: let go of the brake - and Venza rolls back. In this case, in all the equipment, there is an "assistant" start on the rise (us), which, after the brake pedal is released, it holds the car for about 3 seconds. But if in European and Japanese cars such systems immediately "grab" the machine, it is necessary to press the brake slightly, then in Venza the pedal must be added further so that the system is turned on and issued a signal to the panel. The brakes themselves are also peculiar, with a long, as if two-stage, pedals and some kind of "rubber" feeling, little similar to intelligible informativeness. The grip of the brakes, taking into account the mass, also turned out to be average, although Venza does not dare with active braking and slows down exactly.
In addition to "Veza", the 4-cylinder Motor of the 1ar-Fe series is placed on US versions of Highlander, Minivan Sienna and Lexus RX270. The engine is equipped with phase beams of camshafts of intake and exhaust valves, a collector of variable length and an oil pump with a variable performance. In addition, Russian versions have a larger coolant radiator and an additional oil cooler in the motor. Intervals are 10,000 kilometers, a warranty for a car - 3 years or 100,000 km.
In a straight line Highway, the crossover also goes like on rails. But on the winding tracks of a lot of desire, it does not occur - the "format" of the car is not the one, it immediately feels its weight and squeezing of the habit. Comfort on the go? The road "trifle" suspension practically does not notice, but on large transverse joints the car is already shuddered. I grabbed and on the site with a broken crushed stone grader. In general, the suspension allows you to quite actively go by such a coating. But on deep transverse missions and large jamas already shakes, trembling the steering wheel, the suspension rushes Gulko and the vibrations from the hefty 19-inch "rinks" dimension 255/45 are fattened. Eh, there would be 18-inch tires with a higher profile, the softer would go ... But there will be no such wheels, the car already in the database is only the 19th size (on V6 versions - and at all 20 inches). But the Russian "Veze" (and we went to American versions) will get softer shock absorbers and tires with a strengthened protector! The business is useful, but as if Venza did not become too rolled with such a suspension.
The Americans and other calibration of the electric power steering are promised. And then after all, on test machines - typical American watment and an unfulfilled effort on the steering wheel. Settings for the change of direction, and not on the sink of controllability. I hope that the Russian versions of the steering wheel will become farthetern, but that will definitely not change, so it is a considerable (almost 6 meters) turning radius: on a close street in one nurse you will not turn around. Even in our car on the grader, knocks appeared in the steering mechanism. I want to believe that an unfortunate car just got caught ...
In the "Veza" quite serious clearance of 205 mm under the front gear. The bottom is generally flat, only the exhaust tract hangs, which in the location of the area risks the first to come into contact with the soil. By the way, steel protection of the engine will be in the list of accessories.
But to drive the car "in the field" to check in the case of a similar RAV4 four-wheel drive with an electromagnetic multi-disc clutch in the rear axle drive, I did not succeed. In the states off-road, it is still necessary to find, especially where neither plus is everywhere private property. And the desires of strangers to post the dirt on their lands, local latifundists may not understand. And if you consider how many weapons in the hands of arms in their hands ... However, at the bottom of the "Venza", I even was glad that I did not use the adventure on my head. Because if Venza is stuck somewhere, then ... dig-push! And this is not only a swearing, but also a call for action. For it is not for that, the car does not have towrs! If a shallow bodied crossover pull gently, then you can grieve in front of the stamped bottom levers. But to pull for less thick rear, I would not have risked. To drag for the pork? Either will not come out: in American versions it is, and for Russian is not certified and "officials" is not for sale. So, if I pulled out on nature, then without a shovel - neither step from the asphalt. Or through friends or "gray" suppliers from headquarters from the states and put it on the car on their own.
The folded backs of the rear sofa give a smooth floor and 1988 l volume. The backs fold themselves, it is enough to pull the handles in the trunk. The carpet on the floor and grid for cargo is options, and the curtain of the trunk is included in the basic equipment of only the top-end configuration "Prestige". Under the rigid plastic floor - the dance.
In short, the crossover turned out to be ambiguous. Not the most fresh and progressive, not the most exquisite in the habits, with issues on ergonomics and with other oddities. However, our buyers will unlikely stop the car. Because on another scales of weights at Venza, expressive appearance and spacious interior, good equipment and high landing over the road. And this is Toyota, a special attitude to it in Russia. So the Russian sales expected by marketers at the level of 5000 Venza per year do not look fantastic. In any case, even before the start of sales, the planned volume of the bands on the "Venza" was already exceeded.
The last question remains: how much to pay? The most affordable Venza is the front-wheel version of "Elegance" at a cost of 1,570,000 rubles. The list of equipment already has a leather interior, 2-zone climates control, xenon headlights with a washer, heated front seats, CD magnetol with 6 columns and 6-inch touchscreen, and rear parking sensors. After surchargeed another 101,000 rubles, we obtain the all-wheel drive "Vezu" with the rear view camera. The topped Venza will cost 1,776,000 rubles, and it will already be anterior parking sensor, a fifth door servo, invincible access to the salon and the launch of the motor, automatic switching light headlights with a long-distance, Russified navigator and a powerful JBL audio system with 13 speakers.
In the photo - Venza, adapted to Russia. As they say, find 10 differences. But they are! The rear bumper is already with the red "fontamounts", besides, Russian dealers at first will put the front and rear parking sensors in the bumpers. Taking into account our "sandblasting" roads increased the density of "Anticorus" on the hood plus additional anti-corrosion processing pass wheels, emblems and door handles.
Rivals? The competitor "Veza" No. 1 in Russia Toytovtsov considers Nissan Murano, which is from 1.59 to 1.93 million rubles. The second in the list is the Volvo XC70, but only diesel versions (2 and 2.4 liters) cost from 1.43 to 1.87 million rubles are approached by price. SUBARU OUTBACK in the price range is only 2.5 liter (167 hp) options (from 1,555,000 to 1,753,000 rubles). There is still a all-wheel drive VW Passat Variant Alltrack with a price tag from 1,529,000 rubles. Of course, do not forget about Honda Crosstour, but the updated 4-cylinder version (2.4 liters, 194 hp, 220 nm) is available in Russia only with the front-wheel drive, 5-speed "automatic" and only in one top-end configuration At the cost of 1,599,000 rubles.
Engine
At the beginning of the year, the new crossover Toyota Veza became available for pre-order in Russia. This premium car has been known for several years in the United States, but he reached our country only now.
About the model
To buy on the territory of the Russian Federation, Toyota Wenza of the current model year will be available, that is, already in an updated format. After restyling, the crossover was first represented by the public during the New York Motor Show. Version for Russia will be collected at the plant in Kentucky, USA.
Toyota crossovers are very popular in our country. Read in our article about the technical specifications created in the best traditions of the family.
About popular and reliable Chinese crossovers Great Wolver Hover Read
Many say that it is not correct to consider this Toyota to the crossover, she rather the wagon of high passability. In favor of this, it also indicates that it is created on the basis of the sedan of the Camry of the past generation. However, manufacturers assure in belonging to Veza precisely to crossovers, focusing on increased clearance, the presence of a full drive and a powerful engine. Considering both of these opinions, Toyota Wenza will be considered crossovers, but the city crossover, which is not very suitable for the guard of off-road.
New Toyota Veza
Last year restyling led to the transformation of the appearance of the crossover. The radiator grille was updated, became other bumpers and headlights. The public also saw the wheels in the new version, and on the side mirrors there were repeaters of turns.
The appearance of the appearance became fresh and courageous, as if specifically prepared for Russian expanses and roads. The dimensions are largely similar to the already voiced Camry, but the new Veza has grown significantly: its height rose to 1610 mm, the length was 4833 mm, and the width is 1905. At the same time, the clearance is increased to 205 millimeters, which is more than that of universal, however, than in many classmates, for example, the same Volvo xs90. The front-wheel drive version of the crossover in a curved form weighs 1860 kilograms, all-wheel drive modification - 1945. The trunk volume is impressive: 975 liters - quite large volume even for crossover.
Salon Toyota Veza
Veza salon is decorated using carbon or wood inserts. The steering wheel and armchairs are covered with skin, the dashboard is equipped with LED backlight.
Inside the crossover is spacious and convenient. The rear seats are able to develop in a ratio of 60k40, as a result of which Veza becomes like a spacious wagon. All chairs have accurate adjustment and heating system. Around full cup holders and various niches for storing small things.
Technical characteristics of Toyota Vez
In North America, this crossover is available with two versions of the motor, but only one power plant is provided for Russian customers. This four-cylinder engine, younger in the ruler, has a volume of 2.7 liters. It is equipped with a timing timetable, sixteen DOHC valves and a Cual VVT-I gas distribution system. After finalizing and prepare for Russian conditions, the engine began to issue 184 horsepower at 5800 revolutions per minute.
The maximum vehicle speed is 180 km / h. Up to a hundred kilometers even dorestayling version accelerated for 9 and a half seconds, so there is a possibility that after the update, this indicator has improved.
It grips the fact that the crossover will be delivered to the Russian market only with an automatic six-speed sequential gearbox, while in America there is also a fairly high-quality and cheerful mechanics.
The basic version of Toyota Veza in Russia will receive only the front-wheel drive by default, but more expensive modifications can be equipped with a plug-in full drive, which is driven in the case of slipping.
Veza is quite good in choosing fuel and feeds on gasoline no worse than AI-95. At the same time, the flow rate for all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive versions of the crossover is somewhat different. In urban conditions, Toyota with front-wheel drive consumes about 12.3 liters per 100 km, and when driving on the highway, this indicator drops to 7.1 liters. As the manufacturer assures, in mixed mode, the car will consume a little more than nine liters.
Four-wheel drive consumes a little more fuel. For the city, indicators are characterized at the level of 13.3 liters per hundred, for the route - eight liters. In mixed mode, about 10 liters of fuel are consumed.
Recall that the above indicators correspond to the engine by 2.4 liters. The older aggregate of 3.5 liters will not be sold in Russia due to a banal conflict of interest. A similar top six-cylinder motor is installed on another crossover from Toyota - Highlander, which is more expensive, and sold well. Apparently, manufacturers have concerned that when installing a more powerful engine at Toyota Venza, customers will buy it precisely, and not more expensive cars.
Veza has a fully independent suspension, and both behind and in front. MacPherson racks are used here, which are specifically tuned with not very high-quality roads, so characteristic of Russia. In the front wheels installed ventilated brake discs, the rear wheels are completed non-ventilated.
Even the basic equipment boasts a rich set of electronic assistants: braking aid system, brake force distribution system, anti-lock system, anti-slip system, as well as an assistance system at the start on the rise.
Regarding the level of security of New Toyota, Veza is still known, since the results of official crash tests are not yet published. Nevertheless, the safety of the driver and passengers can not worry. Already the basic equipment is equipped with two front and two side pillows, a knee cushion for the driver and side security curtains for both front and rear seats.

Toyota Vezen Reviews
The owners note that Vezelander, Lexus RH450, or Volvo Hs90, is compacting. Of course, a hockey team will not fit on the rear seats, but the three passengers there will be more than comfortable. The interior is not so aggressive, like some classmates, everything is smooth, harmoniously and convenient. In ergonomics, Veza can be compared except with XC90, which is a very flattering comparison. The trunk volume mark practical all: "A large smooth trunk (cool bed)."
Some say that Toyota Wenza is "just a big wagon with the possibilities of non-shifted." Agree, this is more than enough for urban conditions and departures for the city. In the city, by the way, for this crossover, there are almost no obstacles to the road: it is possible to park on the curb to the curb, and the lying police came to pass without difficulty. Noise isolation is also provided at a good level, the noise of the motor becomes heard after 2000 revolutions, but his sound is pleasant. 
Drivers also mark confident car dynamics: the engine although it does not differ in a special power, but confidently disperses the crossover and maintains constant speed. Numerous electronic systems allow you to avoid driving, slipping and other incidents. On the track, the car feels great, which is not surprising, because it was created for asphalt roads. The latter, we note, does not mean that the ground roads are contraindicated.
An important thing when choosing this car is the acceptable price of components and spare parts. Dear can be called except that rubber, but almost all 19-inch wheels are not suiced.
Test Drive Toyota Veza (+ video)
We have already spoken about the quality of the Salon Toyota Veza, so we will dwell only on what there was no speech. Front seats can seem to be not comfortable to someone, but they have the ability to adjust and settings. All over the salon - the mass of compartments and cup holders, which, by the way, there are 10 pieces around the cabin. Several grieve outer mirrors, which do not give a sufficient overview of blind zones.
A speedometer occupies a domicile role on the dashboard. No information sensors and windows are provided here. But on the screen of the multimedia system can be shown both information about the climate in the cabin and navigation and the mass of other useful data.
Considering the size and mass of the car, the engine copes with its tasks well. Of course, he does not tear off the place, but the speed gains confidently and with a light. The machine switches the transmission confidently, even when the manual mode is turned on, the box itself decides, on which gear it will work and switches the itself. Agree, it is a bit strange.
With a calm ride, Veza shows soft and smoothes almost all the irregularities of the road. So far there are no big holes and bumps, you can ride at speeds even by primer. There are no suspension sneakers even when overcoming large irregularities, but it is not necessary to abuse it. With high speed, things are started to ride the things in the cargo compartment, but even in trunk. With normal driving turns pass confidently without rolls.
In urban conditions, Vezen showed high maneuverability. It will unfold even where there is little space for Renault Logan, the dimensions are well felt, and the movement back is facilitated by the presence of a rear view camera.
Veza is a good, high-quality and comfortable family car. It will have to taste to lovers of travel comfortable with the whole family on asphalt roads.
Competitors
Many experts include the number of competitors Toyota Veza Japanese Honda Crosstour. However, Crosstur is a pure station wagon with not very high running qualities. In addition, with comparable Honda equipment, Honda will cost two hundred thousands more expensive that for Russians voting a ruble, a very important argument in favor of Toyota Veza.
Equipment and cost is more or less close to the Veneage Hyundai Santa Fe. It also offers a rich equipment and a good design, however, taking into account our realities of the road lumen in 185 millimeters there may be little.
Outcome
Toyota Veza is a car located between crossovers and universals. It combines good permeability and high level of comfort, which is to taste to many buyers. The owners say that it is possible to fall in love with this car at first glance, just get enough to the salon. Well, we have no reason to doubt it, especially since Toyota Wenza is from year to year only increases the number of their fans.
The official sale of Venza in Russia applies to a model with only one of the available engines, but immediately in three modifications. The crossover did not glue himself with anything bad, although there are certain nuances with him. It is positioned in Veza as a car innovative, smart. It was previously available only with direct acquisition in the States, where, in fact, the assembly process takes place. Nevertheless, now Vezenza is officially supplied to our country, and therefore the number of "gray" models begins to gradually decrease. It is necessary to learn from Toyota Veza 2013 technical characteristics and determine its cost.
Gabarits.
Venza - a car is rather big. Judge for yourself: it is almost 5 meters long (4893 mm), width - 1905 mm and height - 1610 mm. With such indicators, the reversal radius at Toyota is 5.96 m. The mass is barely reaching two tons. Improvel by the car and clearance - a lot of 205 mm. True, quite a combination with all this, there are rather modest corners of the entrance and the congress - only 17 and 21 degrees, respectively.

(achieved at 5,800 rpm).
In any configuration, the engine is combined with a six-speed automatic transmission, the difference is only in the drive: available as a front-wheel drive version and auto-drive.

The maximum speed developed by the unit is mounted at 180 km / h. The fuel consumption in the mixed cycle is 9.1 liters at the versions with front-wheel drive and 10 liters of all-wheel drive venza.
By the way, a model with a 3.5-liter engine was also available to the beginning of this year, which possessed a capacity of 268 hp. Accordingly, the motor had a significantly greater fuel consumption - about 13 liters in a mixed cycle and was able to disperse Vezu up to 214 km / h.
