The 2013 Toyota Venza crossover will make its North American debut at the 2012 New York Auto Show, and Toyota is offering us a little peek at what we can expect.

For 2013 the Venza is said by Toyota to gain some aerodynamics thanks to a redesigned grille, fog lamps and rear taillights. New 19-inch wheels will be offered as well as three new color options: Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl and Cosmic Gray Mica.

Two engines will be available for Venza, a V6 and a four-cylinder, both which can be paired to either a front wheel drive or all wheel drive drivetrain.

New standard features on the Venza LE, the cheapest of the three trims, will include display audio, puddle lamps, outer mirror turn signals and blind spot mirrors. The Venza XLE, the middle of the road trim will get driver memory seat, display audio with navigation and Toyota Entune and reverse tilt outer mirrors. The top of the line Venza, known as the Venza Limited will receive standard LED daytime running lights and premium HDD navigation with Toyota Entune and JBL sound system.

No pricing has been announced, but we can expect more information at the upcoming 2012 New York Auto Show.
