Boaz, AL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/09/2012 -- Good things come to those who wait. A prime example of this maxim is the upgraded 2013 Toyota Venza, which will soon be on its way to the Huntsville area and the lot of Sand Mountain Toyota.

The new model year of the Venza was formally introduced to a North American audience at the 2012 New York International Auto Show on April 4. Exterior style adjustments and an expanded roster of standard features caught the eye of those in attendance.

This is the first substantial tweaking of the Venza since its entry into the market in 2009. Noticeable alterations have been made to the exterior, including a modified upper and lower grille, new fog lamps a different taillight design. Drivers will also have a larger selection of paint colors with the addition of Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl and Cosmic Gray Mica.

In terms of trim levels, the 2013 Toyota Venza will continue to be offered in its customary LE, XLE and Limited variations. The LE and XLE trims can be outfitted with a 4-cylinder engine or a V6, while the Limited strictly features the V6 only. The entire lineup can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive.

Base LE versions of the 2013 Venza are assembled with more standard equipment than their predecessors. The LE’s impressive résumé now boasts of puddle lamps, dual-zone climate control, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, side mirrors with integrated turn signals and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel mounted with audio controls.

Drivers who opt for the Venza Limited will be rewarded with standard features like LED daytime running lights and Premium HDD Navigation with Entune. Although it isn’t installed on every model, 2013 marks the first time that Entune can be purchased as an option for the LE and XLE.

The 2013 Toyota Venza is expected to be delivered to dealerships, including Sand Mountain Toyota, in late May.
