Hi Jig,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

2.5L or 3.5L, both chain driven; or a Hybrid of course.

Thanks for the reply trying to decide weather to go for a 2.5 or 3.5 many thanks

Hi, I have a 3.5. Its silky smooth and there's power when you need it! Had a gas conversion fitted, and overall very pleased with it. 

Mine is a G edition. It has no sunroofs, so no risk of leaks! Also has the velour seats, which we prefer to leather which can be cold or hot, depending on the weather. It is a 7 seater, and most passengers are impressed with the middle seats.

Hope this helps.

Hello Jig,

 

I have a 2009 Vellfire 2.5 and find it fine.

The chain driven 2.5 engine has enough pull for me and gets around smoothly without any problems.

Obviously does not pull as quickly as the 3.5 would and will probably be a bit slower up hill, loaded up with the camping gear.

Consumption is decent getting about 9.8km/l average on mostly shorter runs.

 

I hope this helps.

Hello again Jig,

Apologies, our car is actually the 2009, 2.4Z.

Senior moment I'm afraid!!!
