The luxurious, self-charging, strong hybrid electric offers excellent comfort and refined mobility with low fuel consumption and carbon footprints.

The SHEV model is also coupled with an electric motor and a hybrid battery, ensuring low emissions while delivering a delightful driving experience. The system promises outstanding fuel efficiency (19.28 km per litre), contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
The new advanced interior space has been diligently optimised with increased seat spacing, with equipment inspired by the desire to provide exceptional hospitality and convenience taking centre stage. Safety is of paramount importance at Toyota, and the All-New Vellfire is equipped with proactive driving assist features like pre-collision safety, adaptive cruise control, lane trace assist, adaptive high beam LED headlamps, and a blind spot monitor. Staying in line with the advanced technology, the all-new Vellfire is now equipped with more than 60 connected features like remote door lock/unlock, air conditioning, emergency services, vehicle diagnostics, and driver monitoring alerts, to name a few.
