UMW Toyota Motor's Beyond Zero event – running from now all the way to 28-February in Bukit Jalil – is perhaps the single best demonstration of Toyota's multi-pathway mobility strategy our nation has seen thus far, housing multiple interesting concept and production models under one roof. Interspersed among the Camry Hybrids and Mirais is this pair of the 2024 Toyota Alphard Hybrid and 2024 Toyota Vellfire Hybrid; the first time electrified variants of these popular people movers are seen in Mal

Fully imported (CBU) from Japan, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) launched both the all-new Toyota Alphard and Toyota Vellfire back in October. Even if there are allocations of several hundred units for Malaysia, the number of orders has been quite overwhelming.

Rear seat entertainment display is a luxury that many of us would perceive as a rich man’s toy. Most of us would have the pleasure of pulling up next to a Toyota Alphard or a Vellfire spy a drop down screen behind the driver’s seat (more often than not playing cartoons) and a collective audience tentatively watching.
