Toyota Veloz

Veloz has a lot going on when it comes to the cabin comfort and promises a delightful time for families. The highlight is subtle design, quality interior and no shortage of space for people and cargo. This is blended with safety and convenience, too. 

Design

• The first impression of the cabin is just awesome, its design, quality of material and the ease of access are something very impressive. 
• The spaciousness you get is just excellent with flexible seating
• The touchscreen and digital instrument clusters both fit in well across the dashboard, and attract attention with the sleek design. 
• The dual-zone automatic climate control is something to love about, because the consistent cooling is necessary when you deal with KSA’s extremely hot summer
• The ambient lighting gives the cabin elegance and makes you feel at ease and relaxed. The Veloz has a really great cabin, keeping in mind the needs and preferences of families.

Driving Position

• We felt absolutely at ease at the driving seat, no complaints at all, the driving position is superb, access to various controls is quick and easy, and you sit at a height giving you a greater view outside and good control.
• Use the height-adjustable driver’s seat and tilt-and-telescopic steering feature to suit your preference.
• The windows aren’t the biggest, but they do the job of offering you a view and visibility.
• The driver will also feel at ease with conveniently placed controls on the driver’s door for easy access.

Passenger Comfort

• The big UPS of the Veloz is the 7-seat configuration, positioned for families, and ideal for comfortable 5-6 passengers on long trips.
• You get to experience adequate legroom, headroom, and shoulder space in the second and third rows for an average-sized adult 
• Dual-zone climate control and rear air vents ensure quick, consistent cooling, a must-needed feature for passengers.
• What makes the cabin even more cosy is the fabric, and for a soft, fatigue-free experience
• Then power windows and multiple USB ports are further ease for the passenger.

Storage

• Considering this is a family MPV, practicality is at the top of the mind, and so storage spaces are one of the key elements of it. So, there is enough to keep all the stuff.
• For example, as many as 15 cup and bottle holders throughout the cabin
• Then the door pockets are designed for larger items.
• The front armrest adds convenience with space, too. 
• What the family needs or prefers is what you get to see from the cabin design and storage spaces, very thoughtful indeed. 

Boot Space

• The boot of the Veloz isn’t very big, it has a modest 98 litres, but should do the job for everyday needs.
• Folding the third row increases cargo capacity.
• Also, by folding both the second and third rows, you can create a flat load area and use it for all kinds of luggage needs or family road trips.
• You noticed, the boot may not be big, but the flexibility means you can use it as per your needs.
• What helps in using the boot is that the low loading height adds convenience for easy access to the boot.

The Toyota Veloz manages to attract attention owing to its stylish and unique, bold design, which also highlights a rugged yet refined aesthetic. 

• Looking at the number of 4,475 mm in length, 1,750 mm in width, and 1,700 mm in height and ground clearance of 205 mm, the Veloz looks quite large, but then gets a good road presence, and it is distinctive.

• The front fascia has a nice trapezoid grille with chrome detailing.

• There a stylish LED projector headlights and Daytime Running Lights, which are functional but also appealing in design

• The curved hood and strong fenders give the Veloz a sporty look and feel, which would certainly appeal to younger buyers and families.

• Come to the side, and the 17-inch alloy wheels look plush and add extra premiumness to the overall design.

• Body-colored door handles and side mirrors with integrated turn indicators show the car's attractive and modern look 

• At the back is a full-width LED light bar connecting the tail lamps, which unmistakably gives the MPV a contemporary and consistent look.
• Not to mention, the stylish rear spoiler improves the car's overall dynamic appeal.
• You can buy the Veloz in six colours, including Platinum White Pearl, Silver Metallic, Grey Metallic, Dark Red Metallic, Black Metallic, and Purplish Silver Metallic.

Ride and Handling

• Like any typical Toyota car, this MPV is smooth and a lot comfortable, we didn’t find any issues with engine rattle or rough accelerations. That makes the Veloz ideal for KSA’s city roads.

• Starting from the suspension, they seem to have been well-tuned, and provide the much-needed balance between control and comfort, which means you’re well protected from pothole bumps or any hard surfaces by good absorption.
• Next comes the steering, which is definitely light and responsive, which means your efforts are minimal in navigating through city traffic or even narrow lanes in those tier II towns
• The driving seat is a commanding position, with great visibility and so safe drive.
• Now, we took the Veloz across different terrains and driving conditions, essentially a family would go, and found the handling of this MPV quite good. So, we had absolute minimum body roll during cornering, and also high speed wasn’t that bad.

• What makes the driver easy is the CVT transmission, with its seamless acceleration
• The ride quality on long day drivers is significant, with comfortable seats and a very silent cabin with remarkable noise insulation.
