I will concider it a car becuase it has the same motor as a Camry with the motor 2GR-FE V6 motor and mosly the same dimensions.
So if I had to choose I'll go for the Camry SE V6 instead well equiped for almost the same price you could get on a Venza V6 with no cool features.
 
Toyota says it's a crossover (i.e. SUV body built on a passenger car's mechanicals). In the Venza's case, it's built on the Camry passenger car platform.

Personally I think it's much closer to a car end of the crossover spectrum. It rides low like a passenger car and has the Camry drivetrain. Basically it's a station wagon.

The Highlander is also a crossover built on the Camry platform, but it's closer to the SUV end of the crossover spectrum, with its higher suspension and boxier body.
