Toyota Alphard/Vellfire AH30 '15+: Improving handling + Ride comfort
The Toyota Alphard (Japanese: トヨタ・アルファード, Toyota Arufādo) is a minivan produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota since 2002. It is available as a seven- or eight-seater with petrol and hybrid engine options. Hybrid variants have been available since 2003, and it incorporates Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology. The vehicle was named after Alphard, the brightest star in the constellation Hydra.
Since the second generation Alphard, the model is split into Alphard and Vellfire model names separately. The Alphard has a luxury orientation while the Vellfire has a sporty orientation. The Vellfire name was derived from "velvet" and "fire" to emphasize the vehicle's "smooth" and "passionate" characteristics. Both versions receive similar front and rear fascia, but the grille design, headlamps and taillamps are different.
Toyota released the third generation Alphard on 26 January 2015. The third generation features a large grille similar to the S210 series Crown. The length has grown by 60 mm (2.4 in), the width by 20 mm (0.8 in), and the wheelbase has grown longer by 50 mm (2.0 in); but the height is shorter by 10 mm (0.4 in) compared to the previous generation.
Due to its large size, driving comfort and stability have becoming a concern for many owners.
