The {{nihongo|'''Toyota Verossa'''|Japanese: トヨタ・ヴェロッサ|Toyota Verossa}} is a [[mid-size]] [[Sedan (automobile)|sedan]] produced by [[Toyota]] for the [[Japanese domestic market|Japanese market]], and was exclusive new to the ''[[Netz Store]]'' locations as the smaller companion sedan to the [[Toyota Aristo|Aristo]]. The Verossa exceeded [[Vehicle size class#Japan|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 [[Toyota Camry (XV30)|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 [[Toyota Progrès|Progrès]] and the ''Toyota Store'' [[Toyota Brevis|Brevis]].
The '''Toyota Verossa''' was a sedan-style automobile produced by the [[Toyota Motor Company]] of [[Japan]]. It was primarily purchased within Japan, as it was never officially exported for sale in other countries.


After production of the [[Toyota Chaser|Chaser]] and [[Toyota Cresta|Cresta]] had ended in 2000, Toyota replaced the two sedans with the controversially styled Verossa in 2001. The Verossa shared its model code with its predecessors and also featured the front-engine rear-drive layout.
Toyota replaced the aging [[Toyota Mark II|Mark II]] stablemates, the [[Toyota Chaser|Chaser]] and [[Toyota Cresta|Cresta]] which ended production together in 2000 with the Verossa, combining the sporting aspects of the Chaser with the luxury characteristics of the Cresta, in a vehicle that is smaller than the [[Toyota Crown|Crown]]. The Verossa was a larger version of the [[Toyota Altezza|Altezza]] that debuted in 1998 and became a sales success, offering high performance and luxury with a [[Straight-six engine|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 language|Italian]] words "vero", meaning "truth" and "rosso", meaning "red".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.toyota.co.jp/jpn/company/history/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60000414/index.html|title = トヨタ企業サイト &#124; トヨタ自動車75年史 &#124; 車両系統図 &#124; 車両詳細情報}}</ref>
The Verossa was powered by 24 valve DOHC inline-six cylinder engines giving {{convert|160|hp|abbr=on}} to {{convert|280|hp|abbr=on}} (2.0 litre, Type 1G-FE; 2.5 litre, Type 1JZ-FSE and 1JZ-GTE). The 2.0 litre model was also available in 4WD form.

The Toyota Verossa (Japanese: トヨタ・ヴェロッサ, Toyota Verossa) is a mid-size sedan produced by Toyota for the Japanese market, and was exclusive new to the Netz Store locations as the smaller companion sedan to the 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 Mark II stablemates, the Chaser and Cresta which ended production together in 2000 with the Verossa, combining the sporting aspects of the Chaser with the luxury characteristics of the Cresta, in a vehicle that is smaller than the Crown. The Verossa was a larger version of the 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]
