The popularity of the minivan category which includes a variety of vehicles such as the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire
The popularity of the “”minivan”” category, which includes a variety of vehicles such as the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire, has been growing among families. However, some may wonder why larger vehicles are included in this category and why they are called “”minivans”” in the first place. The term originated in the mid-1980s in America to refer to smaller vans compared to the “”full-size vans”” that were popular at the time. These full-size vans were characterized by their large bodies, lack of a one-box design, and use of sturdy truck chassis. Despite the inclusion of larger vehicles such as the Alphard and Vellfire, the term “”minivan”” is not incorrect from a linguistic standpoint.
The Prairie, introduced by Nissan in 1982, was the world’s first minivan. The Honda Odyssey, introduced in 1994, sparked the minivan boom and subsequently popularized the term “”minivan. In Europe, Renault’s three-row minivan “”Espace”” made its debut in 1984.

Regarding the specifications of the premium sound system, “”The system consists of six speakers: a high-grade soft dome tweeter with a Pioneer logo grille on the A-pillar, and low-profile 16cm magnetic circuit inverted-type speakers on the front and rear doors. It reproduces rich low frequency range and clear mid-high frequency range with high sound quality,”” explains the company.
In the development process, we tuned the sound field for each car model and conducted research on the music genres and lifestyles of the target users in Thailand. The new product reproduces a natural sound field with dynamic low-frequency reproduction and clear mid-high frequency reproduction.

Unleash the Mighty Potential: All-New Toyota Vellfire Undergoes Phenomenal Transformation with 20 Custom Parts!
On June 21, 2023, Toyota made a significant impact on the automotive market by launching the highly anticipated full model change of their luxury minivan, the “Vellfire.” This 3rd generation Vellfire comes with a complete design overhaul, boasting a distinct coolness that sets it apart from its predecessors. With various custom parts available, the new Vellfire offers a unique and powerful styling that is sure to captivate discerning drivers.
One of the most striking features of the new Vellfire is the black-based metallic decoration that adds a sense of refinement to its already aggressive stance. The front face has undergone a major transformation, sporting newly designed two-stage headlights that exude an assertive aura. At the rear, a dedicated bumper and stylish tail lamps contribute to the minivan’s luxurious yet sporty look.
Toyota’s renowned customization division, Toyota Customizing & Development (TCD), has outdone itself with the introduction of the Modellista brand and its impressive “BEAST RAZOR” design concept. The Modellista Aero Parts Set, exclusively tailored for the new Vellfire, enhances the vehicle’s aggressive design with sharp-edged plated aero parts. Notable additions include a dynamic and powerful front grille and signature illumination blade with U-shaped plating and blue illumination, creating an advanced and fierce impression.
For those looking for a touch of luxury, the “Cool Shine Kit” is the perfect choice. This kit adds plating accents to various exterior parts, achieving a sophisticated and opulent style that sets the Vellfire apart from other minivans. Additionally, the new Vellfire offers unique accessories, such as a stunning “20-inch aluminum wheel and tire set” and a customizable “multi-color interior illumination” that allows drivers to choose from seven different colors to match their mood.
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (GR) has also made its mark on the new Vellfire, providing an array of sporty and dynamic “GR” brand aero parts. Under the design concept of “IGNITE SPORT FEEL,” these parts, including the “GR front spoiler,” “GR side skirts,” and “GR rear spoiler,” not only enhance the vehicle’s aerodynamic performance but also contribute to its overall sporty appearance. The “GR dress-up muffler” further elevates the minivan’s power and performance from the rear.
Toyota has taken passenger comfort to new heights by introducing the “Performance Damper.” This innovative technology, previously installed on the chassis, is now placed at the bottom of the rear seats, resulting in improved ride comfort for rear-seat passengers.
The all-new 2023 Vellfire has truly raised the bar for luxury minivans with its remarkable design and performance enhancements. Toyota’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation is evident in every detail of the revamped Vellfire, making it a top contender for drivers seeking a powerful, luxurious, and fiercely stylish ride.
