*Four-side window sedan: Unlike the Magna/Verada this Diamante did not have the rear quarter windows. The only side glass was that in the doors. All of these vehicles were built in [[Nagoya]] in Japan.
*Six-side window sedan: Much the same as the Second Generation Magna/Verada. Built in Australia.

The original Diamante came with two types of 3.0 Litre V6 engines, the [[6G72_12v|SOHC 6G72]] as used in Australian models and a [[6G7x_family#6G72|DOHC 6G72]] producing 150kW of power and 272Nm of torque.

The Diamante was available in two trim levels ES and LS, roughly corresponding to the Ei and Xi Verada.

==1997-2004 Diamante==
Thhe second Diamante was an exported [[:Category:Third Generation|Third Generation]] Verada and all were built in Australia. Minimal changes occured between the two models. In 1999 for the release of the [[KJ]] the ES and LS levels were dropped and no designation was given.
