Whichever label you would like to give it, the new Toyota Venza looks like a winner.

Think of the Venza as a station lorry and you'll probably get the point. Naturally, it does not look exactly like any station van we have seen before. Exposed at Detroit's northern US World vehicle show in Jan , Venza drew heaps of attention. Among vehicles now available, it reminds us most of the Ford Edge crossover.

There's lots of the Lexus RX350 in this Toyota, too, though the Venza is pressed down closer to the ground, and sleeker. Its front end is taller, but definitely molded in the theme of Toyota's current Camry sedan. The Venza's rear glass has a nice, long rake, and its taillights wrap around the rear fenders onto the hatch. Its standard wheels measure 19 inches in diameter, whilst 20-inch spoked alloys are optional. In sum, the Venza is an example of the more hunky, engaging automobiles Toyota has launched in a little time.

A look at its dimensions brings the crossover label into perspective. At 109.3 inches and 189 inches, respectively, the Venza's wheelbase and overall length match both Bell Road Toyota's Camry sedan and Highlander sport-utility within fractions of an in. Put simply, the Venza's footprint on the pavement matches both Camry and Highlander closely. Yet with an overall height of 63.4 inches, the Venza slots right in the middle of the Camry and Highlander. It's ride height falls somewhere in the middle, too.

The 2009 Venza seats 5, like the Camry, instead of seven like the Highlander. Its rocker height, or the lip around the bottom of its passenger doorways, is low, making it simple to lift feet within, yet the hip point for seated occupants is higher than the everyday sedan's. The mix should deliver a mix many buyers seek : straightforward ingress and egress, with a higher seating position for an improved view around tall cars on the road.

The 2009 Venza should reach showrooms with the traditional model year changeover in early fall 2008. It is going to be built at Toyota's assembly plant in Georgetown, Kentucky.
