These days, it’s important to be prepared for anything. Being ready for what comes your way can mean a lot of things, though, especially for those of us in Chicago. One sure step forward though is the functional and comfortable 2015 Venza Limited from Continental Toyota and Scion, your La Grange Area Toyota dealer.

 

The Engine

The Venza comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine with dual overhead cams, variable valve timing, and multi-point fuel injection. The result is 268 horsepower, 246 pounds of torque and an EPA-estimated 25 miles per gallon on the highway.

 

The Capacity

All-wheel drive does ensure you’re ready for any road conditions, but so does the automatic transmission with manual mode for added control when you need it. The V6 means you can handle over 1,200 pounds in payload and 3,500 pounds in towing. Oh, and naturally it can seat five comfortably.

 

The Safety

Four-wheel, anti-lock disc brakes are managed through a brake assist system while electronic traction and stability control keep you on the right track with the right traction. Intelligent front airbags use sensors to adapt to crash conditions and are aided by side and curtain airbags to protect the whole cabin.

 

The Spoils

Life isn’t all work. Neither is the Venza. The Limited comes with leather interior, sunroof, dual-zone climate control, heated driver seat, on-board navigation, and thirteen-speaker audio system with subwoofer, AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback, USB 2.0 input, touchscreen interface, and Bluetooth connectivity for streaming or hands-free calling.
