About the Toyota Vellfire

The Toyota Vellfire is a large luxury multi-purpose vehicle, often described as the sportier sister to the Alphard. It suits buyers looking for executive transport or premium family travel, offering a refined interior and strong presence on the road. In Australia, these vehicles are popular for their comfort and status, providing a spacious alternative to traditional SUVs for those who prioritise passenger experience over off-road capability.

As of November 2026, we see Vellfire hybrid 30 and 40 series models at Japanese auctions, covering model years from 2019 to 2023. The median sale price in Japan is ¥3,768,000, with typical examples ranging from ¥2,765,000 to ¥6,526,000. Once landed in Australia, you can expect a median cost of $41,700, with a typical range between $32,600 and $66,700. These figures reflect the current market for well-maintained, lower-kilometre examples.

Compliance is straightforward for most recent models. SEVS approvals cover specific chassis codes and build dates, allowing newer vehicles to be registered.
