VENZA LIMITED HYBRID, ALL WHEEL DRIVE, CERTIFIED
Most people shopping a midsize crossover never put the Venza on the list, and the ones who do usually buy it. Sit in a Limited for five minutes and you understand why.
Start with the part that shows up on every tank. The Venza is a hybrid, full stop, and this one is all wheel drive. It is the quiet kind: it pulls away from a light without making a sound, and the gas station stops being a weekly appointment. If your commute is Kennewick to Richland and back, you will notice the difference by the end of the first month.
Then there is a heads-up display projected onto the windshield, so your speed and your navigation prompts sit in your line of sight instead of down in the cluster. That is a feature people pay German money for. The audio is a JBL premium system on nine speakers with SiriusXM and Dynamic Navigation on a three year trial.
The seats are the other half of the argument. Heated and ventilated front buckets, a heated leather wrapped steering wheel, power adjustment for both front seats, and memory for the driver. Dual zone automatic climate control.
Then the ordinary things done well. A power liftgate. Active Cruise Control for the run up to Spokane. Automatic headlights with automatic high beams and fog lights. Rain sensing wipers and a rear wiper. HomeLink and an auto dimming rear view mirror. Roof rails for a box or a rack. A split folding rear seat and a rear seat center armrest. Nineteen inch alloy wheels and Premium Paint, with the all weather floor and cargo liners already in it.
This one is Archibald Certified. It passed our 100-point inspection and is backed by our 3 Month/3,000 Mile Limited Warranty covering engine, transmission and transfer case, and differential components.
33,943 miles. CARFAX comes back clean: clean title, no accidents or damage reported, no total loss, no structural damage, and no indication of an odometer rollback.
Here is the part worth saying plainly. Toyota did not build many of these and did not build them for long, so low mileage Limiteds turn up rarely and go to whoever is paying attention. Come look at it before you settle for the crossover everybody else has.
