Toyota plans to introduce a new - and unanticipated - crossover vehicle at next month's Detroit auto show.
The Venza, Toyota says, is a "unique blend of sedan and sport-utility vehicle." Likely based off the Camry/Avalon mechanicals, the Venza will be built alongside those vehicles at Toyota's massive plant in Georgetown, Kentucky.
The Venza, Toyota adds, will have seating for five, easy entry and exit from its higher crossover stance, a more carlike ride and SUV-like utility.
No other details, nor any photos, were provided in a brief press release. The Venza gets its world premiere at the North American International Auto Show on January 14, at 10:50 a.m. Stay with TheCarConnection.com as we bring you the first photos and specs on the Venza as we report live from the Detroit show, starting January 12, 2008.
