It was exhibited at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010 and announced its introduction to the Chinese market. In particular, the Vellfire, with its large body size and powerful front mask, gained tremendous support from the market and became a model at the top of the "minivan hierarchy." I guess the times were looking for a bit of a badass. By dividing the exterior design into the luxury route = Alphard and the sporty or slightly bad route = Vellfire, both routes overwhelm the Elgrand. The topic at this time will be that the sibling car Vellfire was set.


ALPHARD VS ELGRAND VS ELYSION FULL
In 2008, the Alphard underwent a full model change and evolved into the second generation. Recently, not only minivans but also kei cars, models from other companies that are conscious of this face have been seen here and there. It would be this Vellfire that legitimately inherited the "a little bad" route pioneered by Elgrand. High-class Alphard, slightly bad Vellfire "Looking big" and "having a luxurious interior space" were required in this class. Honda later introduced the Elysion into this market, but the low-floor chassis made the vehicle look low rather than improving handling performance due to Honda's specialty low-floor chassis. Of course, the fact that the overwhelmingly spacious interior space is packed with equipment that creates a sense of luxury also won the hearts of users. The cheap price of the 2.4L engine, which was also a regular gasoline specification, led Alphard to victory. On the other hand, the Alphard has two types of engines, 3LV6 and 2.4L inline 4, like the Estima. At that time, Elgrand, who was proud to be the "King of minivans", limited the engine to be installed to one type of 3.5LV6. In fact, Nissan Elgrand underwent a full model change at almost the same time, evolving into the second generation. The Toyota Alphard, which was introduced in 2002 to the market where Elgrand was gaining popularity, took over the market at once. The original luxury minivan in Japan was the Nissan Elgrand, which appeared in 1997. Toyota Alphard/Vellfire is often used as such a luxury minivan. Turn over the market Elgrand pioneered overnight Is it that the body color is "black" that does not change? Especially in the world of celebrities, it seems that large luxury minivans with a large interior space have become established as a means of transportation. However, in the last decade or so, that role is about to change from large sedans to large minivans.
ALPHARD VS ELGRAND VS ELYSION TV
In particular, I often saw scenes of politicians and business people riding in the back seats of large luxury sedans such as Toyota Century, Crown, Nissan Cima and Fuga on TV and movies. In the past, luxury cars were typically large sedans. The definition of "luxury car" changes with the times. Luxury cars are now from sedans to large minivans

Let's take a closer look at the appeal of these two machines, which are now popular not only in Japan but also overseas. The current model, which is the third generation, was developed under the theme of "Luxury sedan with large space", and has established itself as a luxury minivan with a strong appearance, gorgeous interior, and a price of over 7 million yen for the highest grade. The lineup also includes a 6-cylinder engine that has become valuable nowĪlphard and Vellfire, Toyota's large luxury minivans.Advanced safe driving support equipment is also not overlooked.The interior space that is more gorgeous than our house is the biggest selling point.Outstanding presence with a large face and high vehicle height.The finally changed rear suspension is proof of a luxury car.The current model was developed as a "large space luxury sedan".High-class Alphard, slightly bad Vellfire.Turn over the market Elgrand pioneered overnight.Luxury cars are now from sedans to large minivans.
