The Toyota Verossa (Japanese: トヨタ・ヴェロッサ, Toyota Verossa) is a

Aristo. The Verossa exceeded Japanese government dimension regulations concerning external dimensions and engine displacement, offering buyers a sedan that continued to offer a rear-wheel drive platform, opposite the 2001–2006 Camry with very similar dimensions and front-wheel drive platform. The advantage the Verossa offered over the Camry was the ability to offer four-wheel drive, which the Camry couldn't do. The Verossa, introduced in June 2001, was launched with the Toyopet Store alternative called the Progrès and the Toyota Store Brevis
.

Toyota replaced the aging

Altezza that debuted in 1998 and became a sales success, offering high performance and luxury with a six-cylinder
engine and rear-wheel drive. The Verossa shared its "X"-chassis model code with its predecessors and also featured the rear-wheel drive layout. The Verossa's production ceased in April 2004 due to poor sales.

The "Verossa" name is coined from Italian words "vero", meaning "truth" and "rosso", meaning "red".[3]

Trim levels

The Verossa was sold in six trim levels featuring three six-cylinder engines and transmission types. Four-wheel drive was offered on some trim levels, but only available with an automatic transmission. Standard equipment and options throughout the Verossa's range included a front stabilizer bar, navigation, power seats and fully automatic air conditioning. The different engine sizes were offered to allow Japanese buyers which annual road tax they were willing to pay; the larger engines did offer higher levels of standard equipment and luxury features.

20, 20Four and 20Four G Package

The entry-level Verossa came equipped with Toyota's 1G-FE engine producing 119 kW (160 hp; 162 PS) at 6,200 rpm and 200 N⋅m (148 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 4,400 rpm. The 20 was only available with an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission. The 20Four and 20Four G package offered full-time four-wheel drive. The G Package included aesthetic accouterments like alloy wheels and leather seats.

25 and V25

These models featured Toyota's 1JZ-FSE engine with direct injection rated at 147 kW (197 hp; 200 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 250 N⋅m (184 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 3,800 rpm. Both came with a 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, differentiating them from the 2.0 L variants. The more upmarket V25 featured a rear stabilizer bar in addition to the front stabilizer bar found in the 2.0 L variants, along with larger 17-inch wheels and leather seating option.

VR25

A throwback to the Tourer V variant of its predecessors, the VR25 featured the 1JZ-GTE engine equipped with single CT15B turbocharger rated at 206 kW (276 hp; 280 PS) at 6,200 rpm and 377 N⋅m (278 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 2,400 rpm, and was mated to either a 5-speed manual or the same 4-speed automatic as found in the 2.0 L variants with a standard limited-slip differential. As per the V25, the VR25 came with front and rear strut-tower bars and 17-inch wheels; leather was an option as were front and rear spoilers.
