The most striking feature of the Vellfire, however, is its bold stance and massive road presence. Automatic LED head lights, heated ORVMs etc add to the convenience factor on the outside. As for safety, the MPV is loaded to the brim and the list includes seven airbags, front and rear parking sensors, panoramic view monitor, hill start assist and TPMS.
The Vellfire will take on the Mercedes-Benz V-Class which was launched late 2019 here. The V-Class Marco Polo edition was launched at Auto Expo 2020.
