Standard features across both models include dual power-sliding doors, 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and DRLs, LED rear fog lamps, LED taillights, heated side mirrors, front and rear-operated sunroofs, and a powered tailgate.
The MIFA 9 boasts impressive dimensions, measuring 1,840mm in height, 2,000mm in width, 5,270mm in length, and 3,200mm across the wheelbase. This sets it apart from competitors like the Toyota Vellfire and Alphard, which has a wheelbase of 3,000mm and measurements of 5,005mm in length, 1,850mm in width, and 1,950mm in height.
Inside, the MIFA 9 features a 2-2-3 seat configuration, with the second row comprising individual captain chairs with Ottoman functions, ventilation, heating, and massage.

In a bid to push the boundaries of electrification and adventure, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is gearing up to showcase a triumvirate of groundbreaking innovations at the Japan Mobility Show 2023. This display includes an electrified crossover MPV concept, a novel last-mile mobility solution, and the highly anticipated all-new Triton pickup truck.
Electrified Crossover MPV Concept
The electrified crossover MPV concept is a fusion of the best features from SUVs and MPVs, aiming to drive towards a carbon-neutral society. Embracing the theme of “Borderless Adventure,” this concept promises an expansive cabin that exudes openness and offers an exhilarating driving experience. Drivers can seamlessly switch between driving modes, ensuring there are no limits to their adventures.
Boasting high ground clearance and an advanced electric four-wheel drive system, this concept vehicle offers a reliable and enjoyable driving experience across diverse weather and road conditions. Equipped with large-diameter tires, it ensures a secure grip on varying terrains, instilling confidence in drivers to explore uncharted territories.
After months of teasing and speculating, Toyota has officially unveiled the all-new Alphard and Vellfire.
Sales have begun in Japan with the fourth-generation model available in two variations: an HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) and an ICE (internal combustion engine). In the future, a PHEV version will also be released as a part of the business’s strategy to become carbon neutral.
Exterior
Both MPVs have the same width (1,850 mm) and wheelbase (3,000 mm) but are longer than before (4,995 mm). Depending on the model and version, the height of the MPVs barely changes, ranging between 1,935 mm and 1,945 mm.
According to Toyota, these measurements are required to ensure that the MPVs adhere to the 5,000 mm length and 1,850 mm width limits of Japan’s standard automatic parking systems. Nevertheless, the development team was able to add 5 mm and 10 mm, respectively, to the distance between the front and second rows of seats and the second and third rows.
Malaysians probably remember the Mitsubishi Delica as a medium-sized van which was popular as a people-carrier before the MPV appeared. While it has been a medium-sized van for personal and commercial use during its 55-year history, the Delica has also had a little brother in the form of the Delica D:2 since 2011.
This was actually a Suzuki Solio which was sold under the Mitsubishi Motors brand and gave the carmaker something to offer in the mini MPV segment in Japan. It complemented the Delica D:5 which had been launched earlier and was popular as an all-purpose MPV.
