Avanza and Veloz: MPV Favorites

 

The Toyota Avanza and Toyota Veloz have become very popular choices in the Indonesian automotive market, especially in the MPV category. 

 

Both models are known for their combination of affordable prices, reliable performance, and good durability. 

 

They offer spacious cabin space for passengers and cargo, making them suitable choices for use as family vehicles or for business purposes such as the transportation of people or goods.

 

Differences Between Toyota Avanza and Toyota Veloz

 

Although the Toyota Avanza and Toyota Veloz have similarities, they actually have quite significant differences. When compared, Veloz has higher specifications than Avanza. 

 

Designed to attract consumers who like Avanza but want more complete features and a more elegant appearance, Avanza Veloz comes with these advantages.

 

Furthermore, here are some differences between Avanza and Veloz.

 

1. Exterior Design

Compared to the Avanza, the exterior design of the All New Veloz looks more luxurious and elegant, with a wide grill wrapped in dark chrome garnish. 

 

Veloz is also sportier, making it suitable for those who want a trendy car. However, Avanza still maintains its elegant design, which has become a hallmark of family cars. 

 

The main distinction is that Veloz has LED main headlights with DRL while Avanza does not. 

 

In addition, the design of the wheels and tire sizes differ, as does the chrome garnish that adorns Veloz but is not found on Avanza. 

 

The rear part of Veloz has a full backdoor LED that connects the left and right rear combination lights, which is a feature not owned by Avanza.

2. Interior and Comfort

In the car cabin, Avanza and Veloz have similar dashboard designs and steering wheels. However, the striking difference in Veloz lies in the use of colors and designs.

 

The All New Veloz highlights darker colors, especially the dominance of black, which gives a luxurious and elegant impression. Meanwhile, Avanza looks brighter with touches of gray.

 

This difference may reflect the different target markets and consumer preferences between the two models.

 

Veloz may be aimed at those looking for a sense of luxury and exclusivity in their vehicles, while Avanza may be more aimed at those looking for a more functional vehicle suitable for everyday use.

 

However, not only is the difference in color highlighted, but Veloz also stands out with several outstanding features not owned by Avanza.

 

On both, Start-Stop buttons and USB ports for charging smartphone batteries have been embedded. Nevertheless, Veloz adds additional impressive features, such as a wireless charger tray and an electric parking brake with auto-hold mode.

 

3. Engine Performance

Although quality engines have been installed on the Veloz and Avanza, there are differences in the engine capacities installed. 

 

Toyota offers consumers choices with two engine capacities on the Avanza, namely 1300 cc and 1500 cc. Conversely, Veloz is only available with a larger engine capacity, which is 1500 cc. 

 

This engine is paired with a choice of 5-speed manual or automatic CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission). Both Veloz and Avanza use CVT transmissions and are equipped with manual gear shift options.

 

4. Driving Experience

In terms of driving experience, Avanza provides more comfort when driving on uneven roads, which is also influenced by the type of tires used, where Avanza tires have thicker sidewalls and smaller diameters.

 

Avanza uses tires size 195/60 R16, while Veloz uses tires size 205/50 R17. 

 

With a larger diameter and tread on Veloz tires, it is expected to improve grip on the road surface and also improve vehicle appearance.

 

5. Pricing 

In general, the Toyota Veloz is a more luxurious variant of the Toyota Avanza. Veloz prices tend to be higher because they have additional features and slightly different designs. 

 

However, the exact prices can vary depending on the variant, year of manufacture, and market conditions.

 

The Toyota Avanza offers five color choices, including white, black metallic, grey metallic, and purplish silver. Meanwhile, Toyota Veloz comes in three color choices, including black metallic, platinum white pearl, and silver mica metallic.

 

There are some differences between Veloz and Avanza. However, both the Veloz and the Avanza still offer the comfort and reliability that have become characteristic of Toyota. 

 

With different features and price variations, each consumer has the flexibility to choose according to their needs and preferences.
