Toyota Motor Corporation announced the launch of the highly anticipated all-new Alphard and Vellfire gasoline and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) versions. These vehicles embody the concept of “the joy of comfortable mobility,” creating a space where all passengers can share consideration and appreciation. Whether travelling with loved ones or important visitors, Toyota aims to provide a luxurious and comfortable experience.
The design philosophy of “Forceful x IMPACT LUXURY” was implemented to convey a powerful and dynamic forward charge while maintaining a compact size suitable for Japan. The focus was on reducing vibration and noise to achieve a level of comfort comparable to that of a luxury sedan. The vehicles are equipped with high-quality features inspired by the concept of “Omotenashi” (hospitality) to ensure a premium experience for every passenger.
To cater to discerning customers, Toyota introduced an exclusive new grade called Z Premier for the Vellfire. This grade adds sophistication to the Vellfire’s characteristic aggressive demeanour, setting it apart from other models. It features special suspension tuning and an exclusive powertrain unit, enhancing the joy of driving.
The Alphard, initially launched in 2002 as the ultimate Toyota minivan, has evolved over the years to offer greater luxury and individuality. The Vellfire, introduced in 2008, was developed as a new model to cater to customers seeking unique and personalized experiences. With the fourth-generation models, Toyota aimed to create spaces where passengers can share consideration and appreciation, focusing on enhancing performance and value.
The exterior design of the all-new Alphard and Vellfire exudes power and dignity. Following the theme of “Forceful x IMPACT LUXURY,” the vehicles feature a reverse slant emblem and dynamic irregularities on the sides, evoking a sense of strength and movement. Despite conforming to standard automated parking system size constraints, the vehicles offer an expansive interior space.
Improvements have been made to increase the space between seats, enhancing comfort for all occupants. The development team carefully considered customer usage and satisfaction, resulting in the implementation of equipment inspired by the desire to provide hospitality. The Super-Long Overhead Console concentrates fixtures in the centre of the ceiling, providing enhanced convenience and operability. Universal Steps on both sliding doors make entering and exiting the vehicles easier, particularly for small children and the elderly. Long assist grips and pull-down side sunshades further enhance comfort for passengers.
The fourth-generation Alphard and Vellfire prioritize rear seat comfort, making them ideal for use as super-luxury mobile offices or private rooms. Thorough measures have been implemented to reduce vibrations and noise, ensuring exceptional ride quality. The vehicles feature a TNGA platform optimized for minivan use, improving rigidity and stability. The suspension system has been updated to provide superior manoeuvrability and stability while reducing vibrations. Noise reduction measures, such as low-noise tires and sound-absorbing materials, contribute to a quiet and serene interior.
The Toyota Hybrid System powers the models, offering exceptional driving performance and fuel efficiency. The Alphard and Vellfire achieve outstanding fuel economy with a maximum system output of 184 kW (250 ps). Advanced safety and driving-support systems, including Toyota Safety Sense and Toyota Teammate, provide comprehensive protection and assistance for a safe and convenient driving experience.
The Vellfire, designed to meet the preferences of customers with strong preferences, offers performance that promises the joy of driving. The exclusive Z Premier grade showcases its unique qualities with aggressive exterior styling and a powerful 2.4-litre turbo engine.
