Currently reading: New York motor show 2012: Toyota Venza

Refresh for the Toyota developed specifically for the North American market

A refreshed Toyota Venza has been unveiled at the New York motor show today.

The new-look Venza, which until its debut had only been revealed in the teaser photo shown here, is most notable for having been developed specifically for the North American market and for being marketed at older buyers whose children have left home.

Changes aimed at appealing to this demographic include new-look grille designs, fog lights and tail lights, plus an increased amount of kit as standard on all trim levels. Three new colours have also been announced: black, white and grey.

The Venza is branded as a Compact Utility Vehicle (CUV), although European buyers would most likely identify it as a crossover.
