There are noticeable differences in their exterior. Veloz boasts a sportier look with a dark chrome garnish grille, while Avanza maintains an elegant chrome design.
Inside, Veloz’s interior is dominated by black, giving a luxurious impression. In contrast, Avanza’s interior looks brighter with a grey color scheme.
Veloz comes with more advanced features. It has an Electric Parking Brake with Brake Hold, while Avanza uses a conventional emergency brake.
