Bookings open for upgraded Toyota Alphard and Vellfire
By CARSIFU | 5 February 2020
PETALING JAYA: Bookings are now open for the upgraded Toyota Alphard and Vellfire, which will soon be launched in Malaysia.
The new MPVs will go on sale with prices starting from RM383,000 for the Vellfire (one variant) and RM465,000 for the Alphard (two variants).
The upgrades are mainly in safety and connectivity. Both models now get Toyota Safety Sense (TSS); Parking Support Brake System; 9-inch AVX Infotainment System with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-teady connectivity; front and rear digital video recorder; Vehicle Telematics System; and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
TSS is a suite of advanced safety systems that provide driver assistance to avoid accidents or reduce their severity if they occur. These include Pre-collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Lane Tracing Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
With Parking Support Brake System added to the 2020 models, drivers have the support of an intelligent parking system to detect objects in the surrounding areas of the vehicle during the parking process. Should any object be detected, the brakes will be automatically applied and the engine power cut back so that collisions can be avoided. Even if a collision does occur, the early action of the system can reduce damage.
Besides the Panoramic View Monitor that enables the driver to view all round the vehicle, the front and rear digital video recorders constantly record the views ahead and behind. In the event of an incident and dispute, the recordings would be useful evidence for the vehicle owner.
The Vehicle Telematics System for the Vellfire and Alphard is a connectivity feature that uses GPS/GSM to track the location of the car at all times. This can aid recovery by the police if the vehicle is stolen. The system can also monitor and record vehicle speeds and other operating conditions that the vehicle has been subjected to, with data sent by email to a designated user.
Design-wise, the Alphard retains a luxurious and commanding presence. The Vellfire's design varies from the Alphard with an emphasis on "cool and modern taste".
Like all other models imported by UMW Toyota Motor, owners of the Vellfire and Alphard will enjoy a full factory warranty for peace of mind and available of replacement parts when required.
Customers can choose from four exterior colours for the Vellfire and Alphard, which are fully imported from Japan.
The colour options are Luxury White Pearl CS GF (only for Alphard 3.5 Executive Lounge and Alphard 3.5L); Burning Black CS GF (only for Vellfire 2.5L); and White Pearl C, Graphite Metallic and Black (available for both Alphard and Vellfire).
