I'm sure it's a quality MPV if it's made by Toyota, but I'm just not feeling it.

I think it's a slightly tweaked version of the new Toyota Alphard.



I love the Alphard.

Never got into these boxy JDM minivans. Very awkward looking front end.

The body looks a lot like a Alphard. Probably a performance version.

The vellfire is the sister car to the new Alphard. Two really nice minivans.

I prefer the Alphard still. The Vellfire is supposed to (did some google-ing) target younger audiences. It does look more aggressive but I prefer the styling of the Alphard, more upscale and elegant. I don't think a MPV needs to look aggressive.

Yes the alphard seems to be related to the vellfire.
I wanna see what the vellfire interior would look like.
"Power Luxury" (whatever that means) suggest faster and more luxurious than its other variant but that could be just a marketing phrase. I guess we will see once more details are released
