The 2013 Toyota Venza is one of those category-defying vehicles that suit more drivers than might be aware of it. Technically it's a wagon; it looks sort of like a crossover vehicle, and shares running gear with some of Toyota's family utes. At its core, the Venza's really a grown-up, grown-out hatchback with some extra ride height, and without the faux-rugged looks that turn us off so many SUV wanna-bees. Toyota gives the Venza a mid-cycle refresh of sorts for 2013, but it's mainly one of reshuffled features and options. You'd be challenged to pick up on the design differences between the 2012 and 2013 Venza models—perhaps even at the dealership. Styling changes of the 2013 Venza are limited to some detail changes in front—new grille, new taillight design—and a new 19-inch wheel design.

There are also three new colors for the Venza on the outside—Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl, and Cosmic Gray Mica—as well as one new interior shade.
