    New transmission and suspension setup 

    With the new platform comes the same 2NR-VE 1.5-litre unit, which is, however, coupled with a new 7-speed CVT sequential shifting gearbox. Replacing the four-speed AT, the new gearbox setup offers an efficient power transmission for smooth and powerful acceleration and thus promises excellent fuel efficiency, as per the automaker.

    In addition, there is a new suspension setup comprising MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear. This ensures a seamless drive experience even with multiple passengers on rough roads, says Toyota.

    Bigger than the Avanza

    In terms of size, the Veloz is considerably bigger compared to the Avanza. The former measures 4,395 mm (+205 mm) in length, 1,730 mm (+70 mm) in width, 1,700 mm (+5 mm) in height and has a wheelbase of 2,750 mm (+95 mm). The Veloz boot space measures 498 litres (with the third row stored).

    The MPV is loaded with a lot of hi-tech systems and one of them is the new 9.0-inch freestanding infotainment display that fulfils all the entertainment needs of the occupants. The amazing part is that it comes with the Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-ready connectivity options. That means you do not need any USB cable to connect your phone to the vehicle, instead, a Bluetooth connection will do the needful.

    Wireless charging for mobile

    Touted as a premium crossover, the Veloz MPV also offers you the facility of charging your mobile without using a charging cable. The car comes with a “Qi” charging pad, which is a global standard for wireless power and charging. The minute you put your phone on the charging pad, it starts getting charged wirelessly. Thus, it ensures that the driver and passengers can always stay connected to the world even during long drives.

It offers you much convenience and contributes to an effortless drive experience in everyday situations such as navigating through stop-and-go traffic or waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.

    5-star safety rating

    The upcoming Veloz is equipped with several active & passive safety features keeping all passengers safe and secure. And, a testament to that is its 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating.
