What features does the Toyota Veloz get?

The 2024 Toyota Veloz is the Japanese automobile manufacturer's entry-level car in the Emirates multipurpose vehicle (MPV) market. It has a unibody construction that lends added refinement. It gets a bold front fascia. On the outside, the 2024 Toyota Veloz is a very handsome-looking car. The trapezoid grille is large and is flanked by narrow, upswept headlights that lend the front end a chunky look. The car gets all-around LED lighting. The bold look is further enhanced by the beefy fenders. A distinctive chrome strip runs from the top of the grille across the beltlines to add elegant bright ware to the Veloz's bodywork. The car gets full-width taillights that complement the chunky cladding. The entire rear end looks sturdy and broad. A sleek light bar spans the entire width and links to the taillights. The car runs on 17-inch alloy wheels that fill up the wheel bells.

The cabin of the 2024 Toyota Veloz is much different from the Avanza. The shape of the dashboard is quite similar. But the overall design flair and materials used are a major upgrade. The seats are upholstered in dual-tone faux-leather and fabric. There's some metallic interior trimming. The dashboard is soft-touch. Hard plastics have been widely used in the cabin to make it strong and durable. 

The dashboard is dominated by a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment unit that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system is a much-improved version of the Avanza. The display is crisp and the icons are easy to navigate. There's a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, and a smart entry system with a push-button start. The tech features of the 2024 Toyota Veloz are rather intuitive to use. 

The 2024 Toyota Veloz gets 98 litres of boot space if the third row is not being used. Most entry-level MPVs offer 500 litres of space. The Veloz is very much up to it.

How spacious is the Toyota Veloz?

With 4,475 mm length, 1,750 mm width, 1,700 mm height, the 2024 Toyota Veloz is a spacious car in its segment. The two front seats, like all MPVs, get the maximum space. The driving position is superb, courtesy the generous adjustments in the seats and steering. All seats are nicely padded and have nice back support. 

The second-row seats are bench-type and have a sliding function. There are a lot of adjustments available. Three passengers can comfortably sit on this row. The sliding function helps in choosing between generous legroom, more space for the last-row occupants, and a bigger cargo hold. The second row is comfortable for long trips. There's no dearth of headroom, courtesy of the 2024 Toyota Veloz's boxy proportions. The cabin is airy and there's space to readjust the seating position.    

The third row, as it happens with most MPVs, is suitable only for small children. The legroom is rather crammed for adults. But the seat comes with a split-fold function to get more cargo space.

But the Veloz's powertrain is better tuned. The transmission also makes the MPV much more tractable when fully loaded. Handling is easy and the well-balanced steering wheel promptly responds to commands. The Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform offers a surprising level of refinement, and chassis rigidity. The suspension system is nicely balanced and absorbs all road imperfections. The 2024 Toyota Veloz is among the best long-distance MPVs out there.
