The TAHA40 is the front-wheel-drive 2.4L turbocharged petrol Vellfire. Toyota introduced the 40 Series in June 2023 with a dedicated Z Premier grade. The separate hybrid E-Four, plug-in hybrid, TAHA45 4WD and mobility-converted vehicles do not fall under this TAHA40 petrol-2WD camping approval. The prescribed camper conversion is required before compliance.
Example landed and complied pricing on this page starts from about $68,900 AUD, with a recent auction-based median around $81,000 AUD (AUD 1 = JPY 105). Not a quote.

“Executive Lounge” in the 2023 factory line-up was hybrid, not a separate factory 2.4 turbo TAHA40 trim. A dealer-fitted luxury conversion does not create another approved factory grade.
| Genuine grade | Original factory equipment and distinction |
|---|---|
| Vellfire Z Premier 2.4 Turbo 2WD | The genuine TAHA40 petrol turbo grade. Seven-seat luxurious people mover, 8-speed automatic, comfort-oriented second-row captain seats, electric sliding doors and high-spec Toyota Safety Sense equipment. Exact seat, wheel, glass-roof and audio/parking options depend on the individual vehicle. |
| Equipment / option | What buyers should know |
|---|---|
| Dual power sliding doors / powered rear access | Documented high-end 40 Series convenience specification; confirm operation and individual trim/package. |
| Second-row captain seats, power ottomans and ventilation | A central Z Premier buying feature; check actual seat type, power functions and condition. |
| Toyota Teammate / Advanced Park, panoramic camera | Grade/year-specific driver-assistance/parking equipment. Verify factory package and enabled functions; not every market feature is necessarily fitted to every imported car. |
| 14-inch display, premium/JBL audio | Multimedia and sound system specifications depend on grade, options and model year. Identify factory fitment; Japan-market connected functions may need adaptation. |
| Glass roof / sunshades / electric side step | Some are genuine manufacturer or dealer options, not automatic TAHA40 standard equipment; confirm original Japan order. |
| Modellista or GR styling accessories | Genuine Toyota dealer accessory when supported by documentation; not a separate production grade or reason to assume import eligibility. |
This model’s published approval is for the camping pathway. Prestige can help arrange the required camper kit, typically adding around $1,000 to compliance costs. Enquire about the specific installation.
Check the auction listing for TAHA40 and the 2WD 2.4T engine. The similarly styled hybrid or 4WD Vellfire cannot use this specific SEVS entry.
A newer model’s extra equipment does not mean the same equipment was fitted to a 2023 car.
