How many Toyota Verossas are left in New Zealand?
Rare 1 in 67,752 on the road Built 2001-2003 Japanese import
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A rear-wheel-drive sedan sold in Japan from 2001 to 2004, built on Mark II running gear as a replacement for the Chaser and Cresta. Its heavily sculpted, Italian-flavoured styling divided opinion and it sold poorly. The turbocharged VR25, with the 1JZ engine, is the one enthusiasts want.
