Toyota released the fully remodeled 40 series Alphard and Vellfire on June 21, 2023. The lineup includes gasoline vehicles, turbo vehicles, and hybrid vehicles (HEV), but the hybrid system for the tuned 2.5L engine has been completely redesigned. Although he has a maximum system output of 250ps, he is a threat and boasts an outrageous WLTC mode fuel consumption of 17.7km/L (2WD). This is the most recommended engine in the lineup.

New “Alphard” and “Vellfire” 2.5L in-line 4-cylinder direct injection engine D-4S for hybrid vehicles

The hybrid system for the 2.5L engine tuned to the new Alphard and Vellfire specifications will be completely renewed.  The 2.5L THSⅡ pursues excellent power performance and low fuel consumption at a high level through the synergy of compact, lightweight, low-loss technology and the high combustion efficiency and high output of the new TNGA engine. Achieving high start-up acceleration performance that completely changes the image of hybrid vehicle driving, and driving that is full of direct feeling. In addition to improving system efficiency when driving at high speeds, high-speed fuel efficiency is also improved by allowing the engine to operate intermittently even at high vehicle speeds.

spec	D-4S + motor (THSⅡ)
engine	2.5L inline 4-cylinder direct injection engine + motor
Maximum output	140kW (190ps) / 6,000rpm
Maximum torque	236Nm (24.1kgm) / 4,300-4,500rpm
Front motor maximum output	134kw (182ps)
Front motor maximum torque	270Nm (27.5kgm)
Rear motor maximum output	40kw (54ps)
Rear motor maximum torque	121Nm (12.3kgm)
System maximum output	184w (250ps)
transmission	Electric continuously variable transmission
Drive system	2WD/4WD (E-Four)
WLTC mode fuel consumption	17.5-17.7km/L (2WD) 16.5-16.7km/L (4WD)

The lowest grade of hybrid cars, Z, is not cheap at 6,200,000 yen. Gasoline grade “Z” starts from 5,400,000 yen, which is a difference of 800,000 yen. The gasoline grade continues to use the 2.5L inline 4-cylinder + Super CVT-i, which is probably the reason for the price difference. However, if you look at the specs, you’ll find that it has an attractive fuel efficiency (17.5-17.7km/L) comparable to that of an old compact car, and a maximum system output of 184w (250ps) with perfect driving performance. Considering resale value, a hybrid vehicle is definitely the choice.

About the new Alphard and Vellfire

Although it maintains the same concept as the previous model, the exterior design and front and rear bumper designs have been changed. Continuing from the previous generation , it uses ” flowing turn signals (sequential turn lamps) “. The body size (total length 4,995mm, total width 1,850mm, total height 1,935mm, wheelbase 3,000mm) is maintained within the size limit for general mechanical parking lots (total length 5,000mm x total width 1,850mm or less). It uses a newly developed platform called TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) , which was adopted from the new Prius released in December 2015 . The engine model is equipped with a “ 2.5L inline 4-cylinder direct injection engine (Dynamic Force Engine) ” that achieves the same maximum thermal efficiency of over 40% as the new Camry . This engine is also used in the hybrid model, which uses a smaller, lighter hybrid system called “High Performance Multi-Stage THS II” to improve fuel efficiency. The new Alphard/Vellfire Hybrid uses the same 2AR-FXE 2.5L straight-4 DOHC+ motor as the Camry Hybrid, and has a WLTC mode fuel economy of 16.5-17.7km/L. The previous model only had a 4WD (E-Four) hybrid model, but this time, for the first time, a 2WD (FF) model will be available. Additionally, the eight-seater model was discontinued.
