The Toyota Vellfire has crossed the 5,000-unit sales milestone in India, slightly over six years after its launch in February 2020. According to SIAM data, Toyota Kirloskar Motor recorded cumulative dispatches of 5,001 units by the end of April 2026. The luxury hybrid MPV has witnessed steady growth, particularly after the arrival of the second-generation model in 2023.
Sales Growth & Market Demand
Toyota recorded its highest-ever annual Vellfire sales performance in FY2026 with 1,483 units dispatched. This marks a 56 percent increase compared to FY2025, when the company sold 1,155 units.

India Relevance & Luxury MPV Segment
