I have the Vellfire which is pretty similar to the Alphard, these are fantastic vehicles to own .

In Australia there are plenty of Alphards Vellfires Noah's and Voxys for sale ranging from aud $20000 up to $150000 depending on the year model and kilometers and in Australia we call them people movers and to describe them as the King of people movers l do agree with that because coming from Toyota what else but the king we all know about Toyotas solid reputation for reliability l have seen a lot of videos reveiws on the Toyota Alphards and Vellfire they are just do luxurious in some cases better than a Rolls-Royce and in Australia Toyotas are everywhere infact l own a 1997 Hilux myself before you go on its not a 4X4 uts rear wheel drive petrol has an aluminum tray comon in Australia but been a Toyota its very reliable there sre a lot of 20 nad 30 year old Toyotas driving around and l have seen a couple of Alphard around

I have a velfire and trust me it’s amazing to drive best purchase I’ve made in terms of buying a vehicle 🚗

Bought my alphard few years ago in Australia as an import, with 35K now done 200K . Only 4 blown bulbs and a leaking radiator within this period.
One of the best usuable car in the world my opinion. Easy to drive very practical, very good economy 2.4 giving 10 to 11 litres per 100 KMs Very cold A/C.
Extremely comfortable for passengers on long trips. I change oil every 5000Ks and drain the auto gear oil every 20K I prepare to challange 500Ks
I discover the first series is more robust and solid than later more heavier doors etc. The gearbox more solid than later one though only 4 gears. U can change gears like manual 4-3-2 than reverse while tacking roundabouts. I was thinking of swarping to later alphards but this first series is so good that I cannot let go, though the less advance interior is ??? Also highly recommend the 7 seater where there is a walk through from front seat to 2nd roll then third roll, which is so important if you have kids to attent to, none the less dogs to carry.
Tinting and laser shields and curtins are big bonus where a shaded interior from the sun and privacy not found in other cars.
Best car on the planet.

Hello. I am Japanese. Toyota Alphard 10 models have engines of 2.4 liter "2AZ-FE" and V6 "1MZ-FE" 3.0 liter, and from the mid-term lot of the 2AZ engine of model 10 type, the engine was changed from a Japanese-made engine to a Chinese-made engine, and the Chinese-made engine is a problem. It is an engine with many points. The main problem is abnormal consumption of engine oil due to abnormal wear of piston rings.
In Japan, some vehicles have been repaired at dealers due to recalls, but others are abandoned. The next model, the 20, is also equipped with an engine with the same problem. "1MZ-FE" does not have such problems. The engine with this problem of "2AZ-FE" can be known from the engine lot number.

Hi. Great video. For the UK market, how available are the parts? Many thanks.

[ianmitchell]

Hi. Thanks for the video. I am looking to buy an Alphard which has been converted into a campervan (seems to ba a common vehicle to convert). My concern is the low ground clearance given that we will wanting to travel on small roads and ferries in Highlands etc. Have you ever found this to be an issue?

[Manc-fhwe]

Are these these vehicles still a viable option in 2023 what with ULEZ and the cost of fuel? I really like the look of the Alphard but I’m a little concerned about the longevity of these vehicles due to their age.

[factnotfiction]

I am sorry, , But to put the Alphard and Vellfire in the same bracket of each other let alone include either with the Toyota Sienna, is an exercise in futility. As someone who drives a Vellfire. 1) Imported Vellfires have 3.5 litre V6 engines, Far greater interior specs, 2) leather seats 3) massage seats 4.) av displays. 5) HDMI, USB and Type C points. 6) Superior suspension, 7) Very superior External Painitng finish. 8) Completley different front grill, side and rear trims which in themselves create their own identity. Reliability .... well that goes without saying. There isn't any car that I have ever travelled in that provides better creature comforts that there is for the passenger within a Vellfire.

Your passion for these vehicles as certainly opened my eyes to seriously looking for one to own, having read much info from many people on the net i still have questions i need help with, one is the need for some form of undersealing, ie which type, is it something that must be done before it takes to uk roads, ie like now in february, which also i read was not a good time to underseal a car ! So i am somewhat perplexed as what must be done and when and if it does then what kind is needed, any guidance would be fantastic .thanks again .

How much is a road tax for 2.4 engine 🤔

[jamesfin]

How would a 2.4 hybrid compare with a diesel transporter for example .. in fuel consumption … many thanks

[ahmedabdulaziz]

Could you please advise me which year and model is the best to buy, many thanks in advance for your help and advice

[russy]

Hi Lubs, I take it yours has been lowered ?

[craigfish]

Hello - great video (s) on this vehicle. A queston though... If I folded up the very back seats (as not needed), coudl I fit 2 adult bikes and 2 kids bikes in the boot section? Thanks

[furstyferret]

Alphard or Elgrand, i can't decide!

[petercharles]

Why don’t you show the front of the vehicle?

[naush]

[charcar]
