Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) on Wednesday unveiled the Vellfire, the new luxurious self-charging hybrid electric multi-purpose vehicle in India.
The company has already sold more than 6,00,000 units globally and has introduced Vellfire in CBU form, priced at ₹79.5 lakh ex-showroom.
Vellfire delivers a powerful driving experience while ensuring low fuel consumption and carbon footprint, thanks to it being a strong hybrid vehicle.
Studies have shown that strong hybrid vehicles are capable of running 40 per cent of the distance at 60 per cent of the time on electric or zero emission mode with the engine off.
The 2.5-litre 4-cylinder gasoline hybrid engine offers 86 kW (115 BHP) power and a maximum torque of 198 Nm @2800-4000 rpm. The engine, which is coupled with two electric motors and a hybrid battery, controls emissions while delivering a delightful driving experience.
