Toyota Venza Prices in Zambia
If you’re looking for a not-so-big SUV that looks both premium and beautiful, then the Toyota Venza is one of the options you’re likely to fall in love with. And thankfully, this model is becoming more and more popular in Zambia, which means its spare parts, like those of most other Toyota cars, are readily available in the country. And since most Zambian mechanics have a good grasp of Toyota vehicles, you won’t have issues fixing or replacing any part of your Venza if you eventually go for one.
This post answers the big question, “How much is Toyota Venza in Zambia?”
Toyota Venza: Prices in Zambia
If you’re looking for a brand new Toyota Venza, then you might be disappointed to learn that Toyota has stopped the production of the model in 2017. In fact, production of the US version has stopped since 2015. Reasons for the discontinuation, according to Toyota include dropping demand and sales, and changing customer preferences.
But because Zambia is a huge market for used cars, you can rest assured that the Toyota Venza will continue to remain popular and relevant in Zambia for the next 10 to 15 years, at least. With that in mind, let’s now look at the current prices of used Toyota Venza in Zambia.
Prices of foreign-used (“tokunbo”) Toyota Venza in Zambia
- 2009 Toyota Venza KW5,500,000 – KW8,000,000
- 2010 Toyota Venza KW6,000,000 – KW9,000,000
- 2011 Toyota Venza KW5,500,000 – KW8,000,000
- 2012 Toyota Venza KW6,500,000 – KW10,000,000
- 2013 Toyota Venza KW7,000,000 – KW11,000,000
- 2015 Toyota Venza KW8,00,000 – KW12,000,000
Note that the prices are presented in ranges because the cost of used cars vary based on trim, mileage, presence or absence of faults, and so on. So, for example, it’s quite possible to find a 2012 Toyota Venza at KW7,600,000 and a 2011 model at KW8,000,000. Year of production notwithstanding, the 2011 might be have a better mileage and trim than the 2012 model.
Prices of Zambian (locally) used Toyota Venza in Zambia
It’s common knowledge that Zambian used cars are significantly cheaper than foreign used cars. That’s because most Zambian-used cars were actually purchased as tokunbo, and not brand new. So, in reality, these cars have been used outside Zambia for some time, and then used within Zambia for some time. So, the drop in price is expectable.
The typical Zambian used car costs 60 to 80 percent of the price of its tokunbo equivalent. And Toyota Venza is no exception. Here are the current prices of Zambian used options.
- 2009 Toyota Venza KW4,500,000 – KW6,000,000
- 2010 Toyota Venza KW4,000,000 – KW6,000,000
- 2011 Toyota Venza KW4,500,000 – KW6,500,000
- 2012 Toyota Venza KW4,500,000 – KW6,000,000
- 2013 Toyota Venza KW4,800,000 – KW7,500,000
- 2015 Toyota Venza KW5,500,000 – KW10,500,000
Toyota Venza: Some things you need to know
The Toyota Venza is a mid-size crossover SUV that can accomodate 5 passengers and is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive versions. Sporting a wagon design, it is Toyota’s version of Honda’s Crosstour, and it’s closely related to the Toyota Camry in many aspects of its design.
The recent models of the Toyota Venza were made available in LE, XLE, and Limited trim options. The basic (LE) options featured alloy wheels, reverse camera, touchscreenn infotainment interface, USB port, Bluetooth satellite radio, and power driver seat. The XLE trim stepped up to include keyless entry and ignition, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and Toyota’s Entune smartphone integrated system. The Limited version, in addition to the features of the LE and XLE trims, included a panoramic sunroof, navigation system, upgraded sound system, and xenon headlamps.
Although the Toyota Venza doesn’t give a sporty experience during driving, it does handle excellently on curvy roads. On the highway, the vehicle is overall comfortable to drive and fuel economy is impressive, especially with the 4-cylinder engine option.

Toyota Venza: Things you won’t like about the car
Ground clearance isn’t impressive enough. If what you’re looking for is a vehicle that stands clearly off the ground, then you might want to consider other options.
The Toyota Venza is technically a wagon, not an SUV per se. So, it’s not as rugged as the likes of the Highlander, 4Runner, Prado, and others. We are not saying the Toyota Venza isn’t strong, but if what you need is a vehicle that can withstand a lot of rough driving and off-road terrains, you’d be better off with other Toyota SUVs.
The Toyota Venza doesn’t have a third-row seat. If you want that, you should consider the Highlander or others that come with that feature.
The spare parts are quite expensive here in Zambia. So, you need to bear this in mind before going ahead to buy the Toyota Venza.
