Styles and Major Options
In its first year, the Verisa came with two main interior options; the Dress-up package and the Leather package.

- The Leather package came with leather seats, armrests, and steering wheel cover. It also had wood trim on the doors and on the steering wheel.
There was also a sound-system option and a "Basic package" that reduced the pice by removing some items.
- Music HHD option gave the Verisa a hard-disk drive that could hold approximately 3,000 songs, six speakers, and audio conrolls on the steering wheel.
- The Basic package changed the gauge panel from the standard black-out piece to a normal panel, and removed the audio system as well as the rear storage partition.
The only optional wheel package was a set of 15-inch aluminum wheels.
Special Editions
Mazda Verisa L-style
The Mazda Verisa L-style was a limited edition vehicle that offered the usual option packages as standards and was the most fully equipped Verisa. It had both the dress-up package and the leather package, although the interior colors were changed to dark-brown and black. The exterior of the vehicle was finished in the exclusive "Velocity Red Mica" color. As it was a limited-edition model, only 800 L-styles were made.
Mazda Verisa Brown Collection
The Brown Collection was similar to the L-style in that it offered the typical options as standard equipment.

The Brown Collection also added automatic headlamps, rain activated windshield wipers, and water repellant treatment fro the windshield, front doors, and front mirrors.
