New 2015 Toyota Alphard and Vellfire

[alphard96]

Checking the Toyota Japan site, the list price for the lowest end VellFire 2.5l 2WD X grade is about the same as the Harrier Premium - which most PIs sell today around 160k.

 

So once the new model fever is over, regular supply and no big change in SGD/JPY exchange rate - probably 170k can get one, assuming no CEVS rebate (Harrier has 10k CEVS).

Excellent observation, many thanks.

Hope PI can't cheat and therefore X model alphard/VF will be around 160-170k....yahoo!

 

So, can aim for better specs eg ZG or SC model or even hybrid (if PI can convince hybrid battery warranty 5 yrs....)

ps: sorry - dont mean PI cheat - i mean PI "less profit"

Vellfire export version available in Hong Kong (only 3.5L version), with a Toyota front emblem, but notice remote key absent SET button.

 

See the specs here/can download pdf too.

Hence, potentially, Borneo Motors can bring in Vellfire too.

Toyota HK seems to operate under different import restrictions compared to the ADs here in SouthEast Asia. If you notice, they can officially sell many JDM models - Ractis, Axio, Mark X, Noah. And they don't even bring in the Altis.

 

Interestingly, the Toyota distributor in HK and the SG one are under same company (Inchcape)....

Get the full features can liao, so got more stuff in ur car to use. Getting the higher spec also no horse run in sg, unless u want chiong Msia. hahaha

[alphard96]

agree, will not need the powerful V6 3.5 anymore.

 

 

The 2.5 would be a safer choice (less chance of aggressive/fast driving) with better fuel economy and friendlier road tax, in addition to better

resale value (easier to sell 2.5 than 3.5).

 

Just want it be of reasonable specs with some luxury items/creature comfort. But sad that the G specs or ZG/SC still do not have blind spot monitor (which is available for new Kah Motor Odyssey). Find this feature to be v useful, have alerted me of small bikes before. Also i think anothe useful feature not available is the LKA or LDA (lane keeping assist or lane departure assist) which is an options for previous alphard/VF (and now even vailable for premium harrier), not sure why this options not available for flagship mpv.

very "transformer" I feel, but to his/her own opinion. These are very popular in jpn, hk and to certain extent locally. BM I understand will have Vellfire along the Alphard.

These MPVs are used as taxis plying between the cities and towns of Guangdong and Hongkong. Great to ride these MPVs as passengers but not so as a driver. I had considered a Elgrand before, but eventually bought a large SUV.
