Toyota Launches All New Alphard And All New Vellfire: Premium MPV With Improved Design And Latest Features

JAKARTA - Toyota Motor Corporation has released an update for their premium MPV, namely All New Alphard and All New Vellfire.

Toyota made various changes to Alphard and the latest Vellfire, including the exterior, interior, and performance sectors. In order to improve comfort, Toyota also reduces vibration and noise in this luxury car.

In addition, Toyota also provides Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) variants on both models, in addition to gasoline-engined variants. The manufacturer also plans to launch a Future Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) version, as announced on Toyota's official website on Wednesday, June 21.

The car design looks fresher with a length of 5,000 mm and a width of 1,850 mm, providing comfort for passengers.

In the design that carries the theme "Forceful x Impact Luxury", the front of the car looks very different from the previous generation. The front light becomes thinner and neatly arranged.

These two new Alphard and Vellfires still maintain their grand goal design. However, this MPV looks more enthusiastic with wider air-intake, giving the aerodynamics the advantage of the car.

In discussing MPVs such as Alphard and Vellfire, the most important part lies in the interior. Toyota has developed facilities such as Super-Long Overhead Console located on the ceiling of the car, Universal Step as passenger footing, and Center Pillar Long Assist Grip which help passengers get into the vehicle.

All New Alphard and Vellfire are equipped with advanced features that help drivers, such as Intra-Lane Steering Assist, Deceleration Assist, Remote Park, Cruise Control, and Lane Tracing Assist.

In terms of performance, All New Alphard uses a 2.5 liter 2AR-FE engine combined with a sophisticated Super CVT-i transmission system. There are choices of front wheels and four wheels driving.

In addition, there is also a hybrid engine option with a 2.5-liter A25A-FXS 2.5-liter Parallel Hybrid System Series combined with e-CVT transmission, and two or four-wheel drive options are available.

As for the Vellfire, there is a 2.4 liter turbo T24A-FTS engine that is smaller than the 3.5 liter V6 engine in the previous version. The machine is combined with direct shift eight acceleration and two- and four-wheel drive systems.

Unlike the gasoline version, All New Vellfire with the hybrid technology option uses the same engine as Alphard, namely the 2.5 liter A25A-FXS A25A-FXS Parallel Hybrid System Series with e-CVT transmission. Two or four-wheel drive options are available.
