Toyota Vellfire

Super comfortable mpv, would buy if i have a chauffeur. Very good sound proofing and great comfy suspension.

Drove the 3.5 ZA G-Edition to Malaysia which belongs to my uncle and it was a really good experience. The Vellfire was packed with lots of features such as powered and memory seats for both driver and passenger which were very convenient. The long wheelbase of the Vellfire allows passengers in the second and even third row to have ample of leg room. The third row is suitable for adult since it has a large leg and head room unlike many other MPVs which have tiny third row space which is better off with small children.

Although the car is huge and heavy, the 3.5 L NA V6 engine was more than sufficient to power it. It was such a joy to floor it on the highway in Malaysia. I would recommend this variant if budget isn't an issue and you want a powerful full size MPV. Overall the opulent comfort and engine of the car made the trip to Malaysia even better.

Went to Borneo Last weekend with my group of friends to test drive this Monster. We are all car enthusiasts and we all previously owned the 2008 registered Audi S5. Now that our cars are expiring, we would like to experience the Luxury and Premium MPVs available.This car towers at 1895mm. This car is indeed one of the tallest MPVs around here. This probably means that this car may not even be able to fit into the older HDB Car Parks. This is a really big issue because I go to my Grandma's Old HDB flat really often and would definitely need parking. With this car, I probably would need to walk a little further than usual. After the test drive, some of us booked this unit while the others booked the Kia Stinger, Mazda 6 and Mazda CX9 with one or two returning to Premium Motors to purchase the new Audi SQ5. I was one of them who went back to continental quality for several reasons.

This is the 2nd Vellfire I've owned. It indeed is a car fit for a king. The comfort which no one complains. The FC of the new one is definitely better than the older one. The one I own is the 3.5 V6 version. The torque is great. Clear meter on NSHW of 180km/h with eyes closed. Handling wise, cant say much since it's pretty much tall. But I think with strut bars and TRD Sportivo suspension, should be much better.

The Vellfire is a real first class vehicle. Its a good looking car, but the real quality aspects are very much on the inside. The inside is super spacious, the the reclining seats in the second row make for a super luxurious and comfy ride. There's also lots in the way of gizmos, electric seats, phone connectivity, the works.

Driving the vellfire is a surprising experience. The engine is really good, nice and powerful and never feels lacking even in such a big vehicle. It is also surprisingly nimble and easy to position on the road despite its size, which is really cool. Also very quiet, sound proofing is excellent.

All in all, the Vellfire is a really first class vehicle that offers tons of comfort and luxuriousness.

The second-generation Vellfire continues the boldness design found in its predecessor. Up front, the grille is now wider and more upright, with thicker chrome-plated bars combining with the signature dual headlamps. The main beam (now comes with LED) has been shift to the upper portion, together with the LED daytime running lights which accentuate the height of the bonnet. At the side, the body design is now more sculpted, and new chrome trimmings can be found along the windows. Come to the rear, the taillights are now larger and shifted upwards to the rear windscreen to create a more powerful look.

On the inside, the Vellfire comes with a 2+2+3 seating layout. Towkays will love the two independent 'Ottoman' reclining seats with comfortable armrests and extendable foot rests. For those who buy this car as a family carrier rather than chauffeur-driven, they will appreciate the amount of space available in the last row. Headroom and legroom are generous and maximum comfort is assured.

In terms of equipment, the car comes with the latest Toyota InTouch telematic system, which is loaded with all the features one desires, such as reverse camera, GPS navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity, and additional features such as voice command and air gestures. This system works like smartphones and tablets, whereby users can connect to the mobile data in their smartphones and download apps from its iAuto Store.

To improve on the driving performance, the previous 2.4l engine has been replaced with the new 2.5l which was first available in Camry, and mated to a 7-speed CVT to provide better fuel consumption of 12.8km/l. The overall drive is smooth and engine noise is barely heard under normal driving conditions.

To ensure that the passengers are getting 'First-Class travel', the new Vellfire comes with a newly-designed double wishbone rear suspension which increases body rigidity and ensure a more stable handling. NVH has also been significantly improved with better soundproofing materials and a more aerodynamic body design.

Overall, the car is now more modern looking with a sportier design. King of MPV? The all-new Vellfire deserves the title.
