Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Toyota Vellfire is a seven-seat Executive MPV for buyers who want a chauffeured-car cabin without moving into a luxury badge. The AH40 generation uses Toyota’s TNGA GA-K base and sits beside the Alphard in Toyota’s large-MPV line-up. In Malaysia, the Vellfire starts from RM448,000.

Vellfire in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the big update is the Hybrid Electric Executive Lounge, launched in Malaysia with a petrol-electric powertrain, 250 PS, 5.7 l/100 km and Alphard-level kit. The existing 2.5 petrol remains the entry variant, so the current AH40 line-up runs from the 2.5 to the Hybrid Electric Executive Lounge rather than a single petrol-only choice.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the 2.5 at RM448,000: it gets seven seats, a 2,494 cc petrol engine and a CVT automatic, with the lower purchase price. The Hybrid Electric Executive Lounge at RM549,900 asks RM101,900 more, so pay the extra only if you want the petrol-electric drivetrain, eCVT automatic, Executive Lounge trim and 2026 hybrid kit. The decision is mainly petrol versus hybrid and trim.

Verdict

The Vellfire’s appeal is its VIP-lounge brief: seven seats and a cabin aimed at being driven in as much as driven. The AH40 moves on Toyota’s TNGA GA-K platform, but price is the hard reality. At RM448k to RM549.9k, it costs clearly more than a GWM Wey G9, Zeekr 009 or GAC M8, and the hybrid sits near Alphard money.
