Moshi Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hi all, had a couple of Alphards over the years but thinking of upgrading to a vellfire, bigger engine and look great. I work away from home and sleep in my vehicle all year round, so i guess my questions are .... are they the same size inside and how much different will it be to drive (had v6 in the past) Also can you get a vellfire with 4x4 option? Many thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.ac Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 vellfire and alphard are the same drivetrain and chassis, its just the styling of the lights and bumpers and some trim/colours that differs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Have 3.5 Vellfire 2wd. Lovely drive, effortless motoring. Can be thirsty if pushed, but lots of smiles per gallon! Really pleased we got this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshi Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Appreciate the replies, the more i look at these cars the more impressed i am, can't wait to test drive a Vellfire when i find one local, seems the 3.5 liter is the way to go as i do most of my driving on the motorway and according to MPG figures i have seen are pretty good for a big beautiful cruiser. I have a peugeot boxer at the moment and i really don't enjoy driving it, nice and big.... too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojie Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The Alphard drives like the large car that it is, not like a commercial van. You won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisuki_JDM Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Vellfire feels great to drive, the feeling is more modern compared to the 10 series. Both engines are great, 3.5 is what we personally have and love it. Plenty of power but we’ve had plenty of 2.4, they are quite good on fuel and I quite like the cvt gearbox.
