2019 Toyota Alphard

The 2019 Toyota Alphard 2.5L (AH30 Facelift Series) is Toyota’s flagship full-size luxury MPV, positioned as the premier executive passenger mover across Asian and East African import markets. Building on the major 2018 mid-cycle refresh, the 2019 Alphard features an imposing front profile dominated by a massive full-height shield chrome grille, distinctive dual-tier LED projector headlights with sequential turn signals, dynamic chrome side body accents, dual power-sliding doors, and a tall boxy silhouette designed to maximize interior volume. Primary non-hybrid trim lines include the foundational 2.5 X, sporty 2.5 S, and upscale 2.5 S "C Package". Under the bonnet, this standard petrol variant is powered by Toyota's reliable 2.5-liter (2,493cc) 2AR-FE naturally aspirated inline 4-cylinder petrol engine, producing 182 PS (180 hp / 134 kW) and 235 Nm of torque. Power is delivered smoothly to the front wheels (2WD/FWD) or optional full-time 4WD via a 7-speed Super CVT-i automatic transmission with manual shift modes. Equipped with an independent double-wishbone rear suspension setup, the AH30 generation delivers significantly enhanced ride composure and cabin isolation compared to older beam-axle predecessors. Inside, the cabin prioritizes first-class long-distance passenger comfort. Configurations include a 7-seater setup featuring second-row Ottoman "Captain" seats with power leg rests or a practical 8-seater layout. Features include tri-zone automatic climate control with Nanoe air purification, ambient LED cabin lighting with 16 color choices, a central touchscreen infotainment system, soft-touch leatherette/leather upholstery, a power tailgate, and keyless smart access.
