Toyota Alphard II (AH20) photos

The second generation Toyota Alphard luxury MPV (AH20 series) launched in May 2008. This generation split the model range into two distinct design personalities: the formal Alphard and the aggressive, dual-headlamp Vellfire sibling. The AH20 body expanded in width and length, displaying a sculpted front apron and flush side window glazing. Interior luxury achieved new heights with available second-row Executive Power seats featuring power-actuated footrests, articulated headrests, and integrated heating.

Engine offerings included an upgraded 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE four-cylinder (170 hp) paired with a Super CVT-i transmission, and a 3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6 producing 280 horsepower mated to a six-speed automatic. In 2011, Toyota reintroduced the Alphard Hybrid featuring a 2.4-liter 2AZ-FXE engine with THS II and E-Four all-wheel drive. Available in FWD and AWD, a late-2011 facelift updated the front grille bars, lower intake housing, and dashboard woodgrain finishes.
