Vellfire :

2.4L still 2AZ-FE 170ps 228nm with 7-CVT auto.
the 3.5L 2GR FE 270ps 350nm with 6 speed auto super ECT.

AMAZING!!! Super smooth!!! 2.4 has 7-CVT auto boost the FC to 11.5km/L. Although the weight is boost 1780kg to 1890kg. CVT works like magic!!
I even managed to pull 12km/L.
The interior has more length by 80mm to 3160mm and 10mm taller, the font compartment is move forward. Size still the same 4850-4865mm X 1845mm. But lower at 1900mm. more stiff at corners. More beefy at the butt makes it looks longger. But i don't like the rear screen design.
Interior is more solid and muscular, kinda mix between 1st gen and Nissan Elgrand style plus Lexus LX570 aircon design.
Seats is super comfortable, and supportive.
Lexus LS600 in MPV shape.

3.5 V6 2GR-FE is very powerful, boost to 9,5km/L, over Elgrand and Elysion.
Overall, it's the best like it's predecessor, rounder than before but still sharp. and has macho version the Vellfire.

The body is now lower 4cm to the ground. It can easily bump into something. Especially the back departure angle, now less a 1/4 than the previous model.

The G-Book now easier to operate, but many features added, so still confusing at first. The backgroud color is nicer to see, remind me of the black frame G-Book NAVI on the 2002-2005 alphard.

Now also can see how much FC/km on the dash.
Keyless entry and starter. Finally!!
The 2nd row seat has longer sliding track, around 10cm to the back.
Almost like Estima ACR50 with 7 seat 2nd row fully pull back.
