Toyota in the early twentieth century was at the peak of popularity in the country. In Japan in those days, the demand for cheap and large sedans under the hood which was hiding powerful engines. Models such as the Toyota Verossa, or Mark have become real legends. But if "the brand" even a child knows, the Verossa sedan worth more to tell, because he also deserves careful review and attention. This article describes the history of the advent of the automobile, description of appearance and interior, specifications and equipment, the overall impression of the behavior of the car on the road.
There was this model in the beginning of the XXI century. Toyota Verossa was established in 2001 for the domestic market. According to the ideology and spirit of the car is between the legendary Mark II and Chaser. The car was produced for the domestic market was a replacement for the Camry sedan, but, oddly enough, the popularity is not received.
The Car was removed from the production line in 2004. But this time, "Verossa" was zavoevala the hearts of many car enthusiasts not only in Japan. Popularity, of course, not as high as for the "Brand", but still worthy of attention. Distinguished it from the calm "Camry" that "Verossa" had rear-wheel drive, which immediately changed the range of user and purpose of use. As they say now in the circle of owners, on the Verossa is possible to "pile". What can be said about the quiet family sedan, the Camry. The idea of the sedan continued model Mark X in 2004.
The Platform for the Toyota Verossa was completely borrowed from the sedan Mark II, in particular, of the body. To this day, the car is popular even in Russia. Basically acquire sedan tuning fans and Japanese culture, and they do not skimp on investment in their projects. In length the car is almost 5 meters. In the width and height is 1.7 and 1.4 meters, respectively. From this we can conclude that the car is quite low and pressed to the ground, and hence, looks quite stylish and sporty. Machine weight 1.3 tons. Ground clearance - 15 cm. "Verossa" low car, so the Russian winter it is quite hard to get around the city, not to mention the villages or small towns. But car owners do not complain, because the sacrifices did not go for the style and spirit of Japanese history.
From the first sight can be noted the strong difference between the external design of the car from the "Mark" or "the Chaser". If these models were similar to each other and looked quite restrained, the "Verossa" very different design from the General flow. When the sedan first appeared in public in 2001 it caused an uproar and misunderstanding among the fans of the brand and fans of cars in General. No one had expected from Toyota so unusual solution. Consider the car in front. The first thing that catches the eye is an unusual grille, which is made in the shape of the letter U. She is from the hood of the car together and is very reminiscent of the design of the American company Buick, which caused even more resentment at the time. On the sides of the grid is one hole for ventilation and access of air. Front optics made in the form of a kind of "drops" and is very similar to lights of the latest versions of the Mark II. Bumper looks overall direction of design thinking. Throughout the bumper has a huge air intake with its two cutting blades. On the sides of the inlet is two round fog lights that is in perfect harmony with the main optics of Toyota Verossa.
Move to the side of the body sedan. Front and rear side wings are special stylistic waves that set the tone for the exterior. From the headlights to the front doors and rear optics to the rear doors stretch these smooth lines. Because of the impressive length of the sedan it looks like a shark that cuts through the roadway. The angle of struts and a smooth transition into the trunk lid perfectly complements the overall impression of the car. Due to the small radius of the rear wheels the car looks a bit modest and simple.
Feed the car blends with the front part of the body. Rear optics are made in the headlights. Bumper looks modest, without the various cuts and other things. On the sides there are two small reflectors. On the trunk lid there is a place for a license plate, and above it flaunts chrome-plated insert, arkarna for almost all Toyota cars of the time (and even for some of the modern carsthe model range). In some variants of the car buyers are offered a spoiler and with it an additional stop signal. Toyota Verossa probably never became popular because of the peculiar appearance. Now we are in the car.
Take a Look inside the sedan and define how it is combined with his outstanding appearance. We can immediately say one thing - the complete set and the interior of the Verossa is a real business class. Even today, equipment and quality of materials is impressive.
The Design of the front panel simply and is made in a restrained style. In the middle of the centre console is a large display that performs navigation and displays all the necessary technical evidence. Speedometer Toyota Mark 2 Verossa is located in the Central part of the dashboard and easy to read, which is also an important indicator. Instrument lighting is bright red - this may not appeal to many, but all indicators are easy to read in any light. It is worth noting that all versions of this model are RHD, so look for Verossa left-hand drive completely useless is a sedan produced only for the domestic Japan market.
The Front panel is made from very high quality plastic. All parts fit to each other, which indicates a high build quality. Under the display are the controls and frame for the radio. Toyota Verossa is not limited to a good Assembly of the front end. So when it comes to seats. Thanks to the spacious cabin and the rear and front passenger with driver feel very at ease. The front seats have excellent lateral support and plenty of individual settings.
For the rear passengers have side curtain and blind on the rear window. a huge number of small glove boxes, Cup holders and pockets makes the interior is practical and comfortable even for family trips. Rear passengers can access the Luggage compartment. To do this, simply push the cover over the armrest. Speaking of the trunk: its size allows you to safely carry one large suitcase with clothes and a lot of related things for a long trip.
In the history of the production of the sedan had at its disposal only three modifications. The first 2.0 i 24V. In this version of the car has a 4-speed automatic gearbox and 160 HP under the hood. The second - a 2.5-liter and 250 HP with a turbo and 5-speed manual transmission. The third option - simplified the second engine, which has deprived the turbine and cut power to 200 horsepower. The choice of buyers are offered only rear-wheel drive. XDrive could get as an additional option.
Currently, it's safe to say that in Russia this car would be very popular. The problem is that "Verossa" produced only for the domestic market and then within just three years. And the third factor - even at home she became popular. All this affected a rather meager selection of sedans on the secondary car market. The national average prices start from 350-400 thousand rubles. But to find a suitable option - a rather difficult task.
If you managed to become the proud owner of this car, you can get into any club of like-minded people. The same owners of the rare sedans always on hand to share secrets, tell me what battery for Toyota Verossa to acquire the best and so on. The parts care - base "Verossa" is identical to the Mark II, so the items are purchased just like any other classic Japanese sedan.
