UMW Toyota Motor has officially unveiled the new Toyota Vellfire 2.5 HEV Executive Lounge in Malaysia, introducing a new flagship that blends electrified performance, refined luxury and advanced safety into one of the most prestigious MPVs in Toyota’s local lineup. As Malaysia’s number one non-national automotive brand, UMWT positions the new Vellfire HEV as a statement of responsible luxury, reflecting Toyota’s broader Multi-Pathway approach towards carbon neutrality while continuing to cater to buyers who demand comfort, sophistication and peace of mind.
As the new flagship model, the Vellfire HEV represents Toyota’s vision of electrified luxury without compromise. It demonstrates how hybrid technology can elevate everyday mobility by delivering strong performance alongside improved efficiency and lower emissions, all without requiring external charging. According to Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor, the new Vellfire HEV embodies the belief that sustainability and luxury can move in the same direction, offering consumers meaningful choices that respect both lifestyle needs and environmental responsibility.
Powering the Toyota Vellfire 2.5 HEV Executive Lounge is a 2.5-litre Dynamic Force Hybrid System that pairs the A25A-FXS four-cylinder petrol engine with a high-output electric motor. The combined system produces 250 PS, representing a significant 37 percent increase in output compared to the standard 2.5-litre variant, while still achieving an impressive fuel consumption figure of 5.7L/100km. Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced to 129 g/km, reinforcing Toyota’s commitment to cleaner and more efficient mobility. As a self-charging hybrid, the system automatically recharges through regenerative braking and driving, ensuring seamless operation without the need for plug-in infrastructure. An EV Mode is also available, enabling near-silent, zero-emission driving for short distances, ideal for urban environments or private residential areas.
Inside, the Vellfire HEV places a strong emphasis on comfort, guided by the Japanese philosophy of omotenashi, or thoughtful hospitality. The Executive Lounge VIP Seats are designed to anticipate every passenger’s need, offering full power adjustment, ventilation, ottoman support and massage functions, all controlled via an intuitive multi-operation panel. Additional refinements such as enlarged armrests with integrated vanity mirrors, a rotary table and anti-vibration seat structures further enhance long-distance comfort, transforming the rear cabin into a true executive lounge on wheels.
The interior is finished with premium Nappa leather upholstery and soft-touch materials throughout, complemented by ambient ceiling illumination with 64 selectable colours that allow occupants to tailor the mood to their preference. A flagship-exclusive Sunset Brown interior theme is offered alongside Black, adding warmth and visual distinction to the cabin. Entertainment and connectivity are equally well catered for, with a 15-speaker JBL premium audio system and a large 14-inch ceiling-mounted rear display delivering a first-class passenger experience. Intelligent features such as Remote Engine Start via Toyota’s Vehicle Telematics System allow selected functions to be accessed conveniently through a mobile app.
Built on Toyota’s TNGA GA-K platform, the Vellfire HEV benefits from enhanced body rigidity, improved handling stability and a noticeably quieter, more comfortable ride. Safety remains a core focus, with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 fitted as standard. This comprehensive suite includes Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Lane Tracing Assist, Adaptive High-Beam System, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Parking Support Brake, providing confidence and reassurance in a wide range of driving conditions.
Ownership assurance is further strengthened by Toyota’s comprehensive aftersales support. Every Toyota Vellfire 2.5 HEV Executive Lounge is backed by a five-year unlimited mileage warranty and 10-year guaranteed parts availability, supported by Toyota’s nationwide network of 98 authorised service centres and 47 Body & Paint facilities across Malaysia.
Available in Platinum White Pearl, Precious Metal and Black exterior finishes, the new Toyota Vellfire 2.5 HEV Executive Lounge marks a new chapter in Toyota’s electrified luxury journey. By combining refined craftsmanship, advanced hybrid technology and uncompromising safety, it positions itself as a compelling choice for Malaysian buyers seeking an MPV that delivers both prestige and purpose on every journey.
