Rumors about the delivery date of Toyota’s new “Vellfire”

Currently, the delivery date for the Vellfire is said to be delayed due to various issues, and this is due to the Toyota Industries Corporation’s certification fraud announced on January 29, 2024. Furthermore, it is said that there is a shortage of manpower at the factory, and lastly, there is the issue of quality. If the number of units produced increases, quality problems will arise, so it is necessary to keep the number of units produced at a certain level…

What options would you like to add considering the resale value of the new Toyota Vellfire?

Toyota Teammate Advanced Park + Parking Brake Support

“Executive Lounge” and “Z Premier” are standard equipment. All new Vellfires come equipped with next-generation Toyota Safety Sense as standard . This alone is great as it has many functions, but even though it has a lot of safety equipment (Z is a manufacturer option), it is definitely worth adding this.

Advanced Park

After stopping next to the space you want to park, press the advanced park switch to confirm the parking location. Then, when you press the start switch, the system monitors the surrounding area and assists with steering, accelerator, and brake operations to complete parking (shifting is manual).

Advanced Park (with remote function) Hybrid vehicle

Limited to hybrid vehicles, you can remotely park and exit the vehicle by operating a dedicated smartphone app from outside the vehicle. Those who want to do this will definitely choose a hybrid car.

Parking support brake (stationary object) [Intelligent clearance sonar]

When parking or driving at low speeds, when there is a risk of colliding with a stationary object such as a wall, when starting suddenly due to pressing the accelerator pedal incorrectly or too much, or when starting due to pressing the shift lever incorrectly, the sensor automatically adjusts the direction of travel. When a stationary object is detected, the system is activated, mitigating the collision and helping to reduce the damage caused by the collision.

digital inner mirror

“Executive Lounge” is standard equipment. “Z Premier”, “Z” and “G” are manufacturer options. If you carry a lot of people in the back seats or carry a lot of luggage in the luggage compartment, we recommend installing a digital interior mirror.

Universal steps (both sides)

“Executive Lounge”, “Z Premier”, “Z” and “G” are manufacturer options for all grades. We recommend installing this for people who carry elderly people or small children in the back seat. The disadvantage is that you won’t be able to install a spare tire. From an export perspective, it may be fine to have a spare tire, but for domestic use, I think it would be better to have a universal step.

Twin dimming panoramic roof

The seats feature a “super long overhead console” and “twin dimming panoramic roof . ” It is recommended to install it as it is an option on “Vellfire” and “Z premium” grades.
