About This Toyota Verossa VR25
The Toyota Verossa VR25 is a unique Japanese-market sport sedan built on Toyota’s rear-wheel-drive performance sedan platform. It shares the kind of drivetrain and enthusiast appeal that make 1JZ-powered Toyotas so desirable, while offering a less common body style than the usual Chaser, Mark II, or Cresta.
This example is especially appealing thanks to its 1JZ-GTE turbo engine and 5-speed manual transmission swap. The deep purple exterior, black interior, Tein coilovers, and 17-inch Work Rezax wheels give it a clean JDM sport sedan look without taking away from the mostly OEM character of the car. It would make a strong choice for a Toyota enthusiast, JDM collector, weekend driver, or someone wanting a rare manual 1JZ sedan.
Exterior Condition
The deep purple exterior presents very well overall and gives the car a clean, distinctive look. The body is very clean for its age, with only a couple small paint imperfections. Overall, the exterior has a sharp, well-kept appearance that fits the car’s rare JDM sport sedan character.
Interior Condition
The black interior is very clean overall and shows well for the age. The cabin has a clean, mostly original feel, and everything works as it should. The seats, dash, panels, trim, and overall interior presentation match the clean condition of the exterior.
Powertrain and Driving
This Verossa VR25 is powered by Toyota’s 2.5L 1JZ-GTE turbocharged inline-6 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It is also equipped with Tein coilovers and 17-inch Work Rezax wheels. The timing belt shows it was done at 70,516 km on 12/13/2018. The 1JZ-GTE engine, manual transmission, rear-wheel-drive layout, and clean suspension setup make this a very appealing JDM performance sedan for enthusiast ownership.
Title, Import, and Location
This vehicle has been legally imported from Japan and comes with a clean South Carolina title ready to transfer. It is available at Japan Direct Motors near Columbia, South Carolina, and can be seen, purchased, and driven home today. Stop by during business hours, or call/text ahead at (803) 622-8962 with questions, availability, or to set up a test drive.
