Toyota Korea Launches 'Premium Minivan' Alphard

18th of next month

Toyota Korea announced that it will begin accepting pre-orders for the minivan Alphard at all Toyota official dealer showrooms nationwide starting from the 21st, with the official launch scheduled for the 18th of next month.

This vehicle is the 4th generation model, which was globally released in June. The front features triple LED headlamps. The rear showcases a contour extending from the Alphard’s signature B-pillar shape to the rear lamps.

Based on the TNGA-K platform, the Alphard has improved body rigidity and incorporates noise and vibration reduction design. New technologies such as shock absorbers that respond sensitively to road conditions and Cross Wind Assist have also been applied. The second row is equipped with Executive Lounge seats offering acupressure functions and more.

The vehicle is launched in a single trim, combining a 2.5ℓ Atkinson cycle engine with an electric motor to deliver a maximum output of 250 horsepower. The hybrid system achieves a fuel efficiency of 13.5 km/L based on combined standards. Toyota’s E-Four all-wheel-drive system is also applied.

Additionally, it features independent panoramic moonroofs on the left and right sides of the second row, independent electric sunshades, and a 14-inch rear-seat entertainment system. This large display integrates various functions including navigation and Toyota Connect.

Kang Daehwan, Executive Director of Toyota Korea, explained, “The Alphard is a premium minivan that goes beyond the conventional multipurpose minivan, providing the best rest and recharging even while on the move. From long-distance travel for work to weekend leisure activities with family, we aim to offer a new way of mobility tailored to customers’ diverse lifestyles.”
