The '''Toyota Verossa''' was a sedan produced by the [[Toyota Motor Company]] for [[Japanese domestic market]]. The Verossa allowed Toyota to offer a car that complied with [[Vehicle size class#Japan|Japanese government regulations]] concerning external dimensions and engine displacement, and offered buyers a sedan that continued to offer a front engine rear drive platform, opposite the 2001-2006 [[Toyota Camry (ACV30)|Toyota Camry]] with very similar dimensions and front wheel drive. The advantage the Verossa offered over the Camry was the ability to offer all wheel drive, which the Camry couldn't do.

The Verossa was a larger version of the [[Toyota Altezza]] that appeared in 1998 that became a sales success, offering high performance and luxury with a straight 6 engine and rear drive. The Verossa shared its X-chassis model code with its predecessors and also featured the front-engine rear-drive layout. The Verossa's production ceased in 2003 due to poor sales.

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]

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.
