The Toyota Voxy Hybrid ZS "Kirameki II" is a highly popular, premium-trimmed variant of Toyota's mid-sized 7-seater minivan (chassis code: ZWR80W), primarily produced between 2017 and 2020.
The name "Kirameki" translates to "sparkle" or "shine" in Japanese, which perfectly hints at the exclusive chrome styling and upgraded luxury elements this edition brings over the standard ZS model.
