Other features on the Toyota Vellfire include seven airbags with ABS, EBD, panoramic view monitor, parking assist, electric sliding doors and more.
Under the hood, the Vellfire is powered by a 2.5-litre petrol engine that churns out 87 bhp at 4700 rpm and 198 Nm of peak torque in between 2800 – 4000 rpm. The powertrain is paired with an e-CVT that sends power to the front wheels, while the electronic 4WD ensures improved high-speed stability.
