Toyota Vellfire

• ​Rear-seat comfort is good but not as plush as expected in a ₹1.5 crore luxury MPV. Some bumps and road noise still filter into the cabin.
  
• Wind noise around the A-pillar becomes noticeable at high speeds, affecting overall refinement.
  
• Drivers need time to adjust to the Vellfire’s size; the far-stretched windscreen makes judging the front end tricky.
  
• U-turns and tight manoeuvres require planning due to its large footprint.
  
• Ground clearance is adequate, and it clears big speed breakers without scraping.
  
• The Vellfire uses steel springs instead of height-adjustable air suspension.
  

Front Row & Cabin Technology

• ​Offers power-adjustable steering and driver’s seat, helping the driver find the ideal position easily.

• ​Large 14-inch infotainment touchscreen that’s smooth and responsive.

• ​Supports wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and connected car functions.
  
• Physical climate control knobs add convenience and ease of use.
  
• Comes with a 360-degree camera, but the clarity could be better for this price bracket.
  
• The 15-speaker JBL audio system sounds average and doesn’t match the segment expectations.

Middle Row: The Vellfire’s Real Luxury Zone

• Features multi-way adjustable captain seats with heating, cooling, and massage functions—the true highlight of the cabin.
  
• Seats include flip-out tray tables, built-in vanity mirrors, and plush cushioning for maximum comfort.
  
• A 14-inch roof-mounted entertainment screen with Miracast and HDMI connectivity serves rear passengers.
  
• ​Detachable touch controllers on the armrests allow passengers to manage:
  • Ambient lighting (14 colour options)
    
  • Climate control zones
    
  • Powered window sunshades
    
  • Rear entertainment screen
• Dual individual sunroofs for middle-row passengers eliminate the usual fight for the sunroof controls.

Third Row Comfort

• ​Third-row passengers get adjustable seats, roof-mounted AC vents, and powered sunshades for the quarter glass.
  
• Space and comfort levels remain impressive for an MPV of this size.
  

Safety & ADAS Technology

• ​Equipped with six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, and ISOFIX mounts for child seats.
  
• Full suite of camera + radar-based ADAS features:
  
  • ​Lane keep assist
    
  • Adaptive cruise control
    
  • Blind spot monitoring (especially helpful given the Vellfire’s large footprint)
    
• ADAS performance is smooth on well-marked urban expressways like Mumbai’s Coastal Road.
  

• ​Entry to the middle row is via powered sliding doors, leading into a spacious, lounge-like interior.
• The middle-row seats are the star attraction, designed for chauffeur-driven owners who expect premium comfort.

• ​These individual seats are generously sized, exceptionally cushioned, and offer multiple powered adjustments, including fore-aft movement, recline, and extendable legrests.
  
• Seat controls are available through physical buttons or detachable touchscreen panels mounted on the armrests.
  
• At full stretch, the seats offer a business-class seating experience, perfect for relaxing or taking a power nap on long drives.
  
• Additional comfort features include seat ventilation, heating, and a massage function.

• ​The only drawback is the upswept rear window line, which limits the panoramic outside view expected from a luxury MPV.
  

Third-Row & Practicality

• ​The Vellfire offers the best third-row seating in the segment, with enough space for three adults to sit comfortably.
  
• Access to the last row is easy, thanks to the central walkthrough between the middle seats.
  
• The third-row seats can recline and slide, allowing passengers to maximize legroom or free up luggage space.
  
• The powered tailgate opens wide, revealing a flexible cargo area.
  
• The third-row seats can be pushed forward or folded and swivelled to the sides, creating near–van levels of storage capacity.
  
• Despite the generous boot space, the Vellfire does not offer room for a spare tyre.
  

Front Cabin & Build Quality

• ​The dashboard has a clean wraparound design and showcases a huge improvement in material quality over the previous generation.

• ​Extensive use of leather, soft-touch surfaces, and convincing wood-finish elements elevates the cabin ambience.
  
• Front seats also offer excellent comfort, even if most owners won’t spend much time driving.

• ​Storage spaces are abundant across all three rows, including roof-mounted compartments, though the glovebox remains unexpectedly small.
  

• ​The new-gen Toyota Vellfire isn’t bought for styling alone, yet this latest version carries a far more premium and luxurious presence than the outgoing model.
  
• Its sheer proportions — almost 5 metres long and 2 metres tall — give it a commanding road presence that easily stands out among luxury sedans and SUVs.
  
• The exterior now carries a stronger luxury identity, moving away from the typical “premium airport shuttle” look of older MPVs.
  
• Chrome elements add visual drama, especially the bold six-slat front grille finished in dark chrome. More chrome details feature on the bumper, while the headlamps showcase a jewel-like design.

• ​From the side, the Vellfire’s massive scale becomes even more obvious. Despite being 19-inch units, the alloy wheels still appear small next to the large body panels.

• A sharp crease along the window line breaks the MPV’s slab-sided look and gives the silhouette a touch of sophistication.

• ​At the rear, a sporty flavour comes from the roof spoiler and a slightly protruding bumper, adding some character to the otherwise clean tail design.
  
• Under the skin, the Vellfire uses a monocoque chassis based on Toyota’s TNGA-K platform, the same architecture used for larger and more premium Toyota models.
  
• Toyota says this new generation delivers higher body rigidity, while also offering significant improvements in ride comfort and cabin quietness compared to the previous Vellfire.

• ​The Toyota Vellfire is powered by a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a strong hybrid system supported by an underfloor battery setup.
  
• This luxury MPV delivers 190bhp and 240Nm of torque, offering smooth and refined performance.
  
• It features an AWD (All-Wheel Drive) configuration combined with an e-CVT automatic transmission for effortless cruising.
  
• Toyota claims an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of 19.28kmpl, making the Vellfire one of the most efficient premium MPVs in its class.
