Toyota Verossa is a Japanese sedan manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation. Produced from 2001 to 2004 for the needs of the domestic market. Despite the fact that Verossa was not officially exported, it became widespread in Russia, mainly in its eastern part. Unlike its direct competitor on the market – Toyota Camry – the model has a clear advantage – an all-wheel drive layout. In fact, Verossa was an enlarged version of Toyota Altezza. In total, about 24 thousand cars were produced.
The Toyota Verossa was offered with 3 engines between 2001 and 2004 (3 petrol). Displacement ranges from 2.0 to 2.5 liters, power output from 200 to 280 hp. All of them use a timing belt. 1 is turbocharged. The longest rated lifespan belongs to the Toyota 1JZ-GTE (about 500,000 km).
