Toyota Vellfire

Toyota Vellfire Exterior

The Toyota Vellfire new model may be an MPV, but it certainly looks very stylish. At the front, it gets a stubby bonnet and a massively sized chrome grille with three bars of chrome and some more chrome above and below, flanked by a split, two-part headlamp design which looks quite stylish. It gets a large bumper too with triangular elements housing the fog lights.

Along the sides, it is quite slab-sided, but the mildly flared wheel arches do give it some character. And the slanting second-row window design will help you spot a Vellfire in a crowd. The wheels don't look too small, thankfully. At the rear, it gets smart clear-lens LED tail lamps with a huge bar of chrome running in the middle. There is also a roof spoiler that gives it a sporty look.

Toyota Vellfire Engine Specifications & Performance

The Vellfire is powered by a 2.5-litre hybrid petrol engine that makes 113bhp and 198Nm of torque and a pair of electric motors, one for each axle. The motor at the front works in sync with the engine to drive the front wheels through an e-CVT gearbox, while the rear motor powers the rear wheels when required.

The engine is super smooth and very refined. The mid-range is nice and strong, and the gearbox works efficiently. The steering is very light and it feels rather easy to drive in city conditions. It also weighs up nicely. However, the sheer girth of the vehicle can be felt at times. The ride quality, however, is on the firm side. And there is quite a lot of body roll around corners. The Toyota Vellfire on-road price crosses the 90 lakh rupee mark.
