Car Index[]

"Japan's premium minivan that evolved into a high-class luxury car."

The minivan is a popular automotive category in Japan. It has become a highly competitive segment with each manufacturer vying to outdo the other. But the one vehicle that has held the undisputed title of the ultimate premium minivan is the Toyota Alphard.

Since its introduction in 2002, the Toyota Alphard redefined the category with its classy styling and smooth, quiet ride quality. Its highly premium nature has made it a popular limousine for transporting VIP guests in Japan.

The third-generation Alphard that bowed in 2015 was a refined version of its predecessor. Of note was the "Executive Lounge" luxury version that redefined the vehicle's second-row seating. Unique to the Executive Lounge were the "Executive Lounge Seats," which were one size larger than the seats of the base model, equipped with heating and ventilation as well as a folding mini-table. The quality of the leather and stitching was a major point of focus by Toyota, and the result was a high level of comfort and convenience that were comparable to a first-class airline seat.

A minor model change was performed in 2017, with output of the Alphard's 3.5-liter V-6 being increased from 276.1 HP to 296.8 HP. The transmission was also optimized with more gears, going from a 6-speed automatic to an 8-speed. Also, the Alphard's structural rigidity was enhanced, making its ride smoother and more stable than ever before.

The Toyota Alphard is a minivan that is synonymous with "luxury." The third-generation Executive Lounge variant is the top-of-the-line grade. This popular vehicle has a plush and comfortable interior that makes it the limousine of minivans. In Japan, minivans are generally used as family cars, specifically designed for the country's unique roads and traffic. Among all minivan models, the Toyota Alphard has been long been considered the most luxurious of the bunch. Many consider the Alphard so much more than a minivan. They see it more as a genuine luxury vehicle.
