Luxury and comfort are two things that come in pairs, and when you think of that combo in the context of a people carrier, the Toyota Alphard quickly comes to mind. Walking up to the Alphard alone is enough to provide an idea of the plush interior awaiting inside. Its expansive new grille exudes opulence and uniqueness, characterized by graceful contours that sweep downward flanking the grille.
Built upon the foundation of the "Forceful x Impact Luxury" ideology, the 2024 Alphard looks just that, strong and striking. The essence of luxury permeates the interior, courtesy of Alphard’s fully leather-appointed cabin. Accompanied by captain seats featuring leg rests, and a touchscreen entertainment system, the Alphard makes you feel special wherever you are. The symphony of sound from 15 speakers spreads sound evenly across the cabin, while personalized air conditioning vents provide each passenger precise cooling in their desired zones.
New for the 2024 model is the A25A-FXS engine marking the departure of the V6 found in the old Alphard. The new engine is a hybrid 2.5-liter four-cylinder with dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). This new engine generates 185 hp at 6,000 rpm with 233 Nm of torque in the 4,300 and 4,500 range. Combined with the electric motor, the Alphard generates a maximum system output of 247 hp and 270 Nm of torque.

The 2024 Alphard comes outfitted with linear rockers and a V-shaped brace in the rear-lower segment of the vehicle, resulting in a substantial 50 percent enhancement in rigidity when compared to its predecessors. Toyota has also fine-tuned the application of structural adhesives to minimize body deformation. The front features MacPherson struts, while the rear boasts an improved double wishbone suspension setup. Alongside these advancements, incorporating rubber bushings in the cushion frame attachments and utilizing memory foam within the seats has led to a notable 30 percent reduction in vibrations for the minivan.
