Since its global unveiling in August 2020, the fourth-generation Kia Carnival has been a huge success in many countries around the world even as minivans face a downward trend amidst the popularity of SUVs. 3 years later, Kia officially unveiled the new 2024 Kia Carnival facelift mere days after undisguised photos of the refreshed Grand Utility Vehicle were leaked by Korean social media.

Usually, Singapore gets plenty of new car models before us Malaysians but in a surprise turn of events, we unofficially got the new AH40 Toyota Vellfire before them. Their long wait has finally ended though as the Borneo Motors (Singapore), the authorised distributor and retailer of Toyota down south, has officially launched the Vellfire Hybrid to go alongside the Alphard that’s already been available launched earlier.

The Vellfire has a sort of love-hate relationship among Malaysians.

Coming in sole 4-seater guise and imported (CBU) from Japan, prices for this house-on-wheels starts from RM 1.11 million. At RM 1,106,513, it's circa RM 135k dearer than the Lexus LS 500 Luxury (RM 1.02 mil) and 2.5x more than the Alphard (official UMWT unit, with the 3.5-litre V6) it's based on, which starts from RM 446k.

The Toyota Alphard and its sporty-looking twin, the Vellfire have been the mainstay of Malaysian roads for years ever since they were introduced in 2002 and 2008 respectively. However, the time of terrorizing the fast lane, transporting VIPs and towkays might be ending for one of them. According to Japanese site, Best Car, Toyota has announced that it would be downsizing some of its models beginning with the Toyota Tank mini MPV. The Tank will continue on sale until 15 September 2020, when the T
