Toyota Vellfire: Overview and Specifications

Toyota Vellfire is a huge and capacious Japanese car that has been produced since 2008. The Japanese company throughout its existence can trace the craving for big minivans. In this article you will get acquainted with this model more closely, learn its technical characteristics and cost.

History of the model

The car first appeared in 2008. The predecessor of the minivan in the same class is the Toyota Alfard, which has been produced since 2002 to this day. Of the third generation, Toyota VellFire was designed. The minivan was created as a luxury version of its predecessor, so it does not differ much from its colleague in terms of technical characteristics.

In 2012, the car survived the restyling and is released in an updated form to this day.

Appearance

From the Alphard model, this car differs only in the radiator grille and the modified shape of the front and rear optics. In the rest the model completely repeats the body of the previous minivan. The updated car is too futuristic design. The Japanese tried to glory and got a body that will be relevant for its forms for another 5-6 years. Having seen this car on the road, no pedestrian will remain indifferent and will pay attention to it.

A large radiator grille with chrome elements flashes in front. The headlights are divided into two parts. Rectangular strips of optics merge with the radiator grille. The bumper looks too sporty, which is not peculiar to cars of this class. Because of this, Toyota-Wellfire's road clearance does not allow it to be used anywhere, except for smooth asphalt pavement. By the way, officially the model is not delivered to Russia partly for this reason.

On both sides there are more sliding rear doors. All rear windows are tinted from the factory, which increases the comfort level of passengers. Externally, "Welfire" more like a van than a family minivan.

Auto Salon

The car is one of the most roomy in the class. The appearance does not deceive: inside the minivan is as huge as outside. The car can comfortably accommodate 7 passengers on three rows of seats. The salon is made in warm colors with elements of artificial wood. Armchairs have numerous adjustments and settings for height. You can expand the third row of seats and take with you to the road three more passengers. Despite the fact that in this case you sacrifice the trunk, the seats for people in the rear seats are exactly the same as for the driver and the front passenger. Having combined the second and third row, it is possible to transport bulky goods.
