In the winter of this year, the Japanese company Toyota presented its next novelty to the general automotive public. This novelty was a minivan called Toyota Alphard 2016. Almost immediately after the official presentation, the new minivan began to be delivered to the company's dealer networks. In our country, the car should appear in the very near future.
The appearance of the minivan Toyota Alphard
For Japanese designers, the new minivan turned out to be not only original, but also rightfully special. Its attractive appearance makes it recognizable even in very dense traffic, where there are many cars of a similar configuration.
Massive as for this class of cars, the radiator grille almost completely repeats the style used on Lexus models. The car's headlights have LED light sources, while the daytime running lights are designed in the form of the letter "J". The overall picture is complemented by a rather massive front bumper, which has a definitely sporty character.
In profile, Toyota Alphard looks solid, stylish and reliable. Here it is impossible not to pay attention to the reverse slope of the roof pillar, as well as the “absence” of the rear pillar. The stern has a not quite traditional shape, but nevertheless, in general, it has a solid appearance and perfectly emphasizes the style that takes place on the front of the car.
Body dimensions of the minivan Toyota Alphard
Minivan Toyota Alphard 2016 turned out to be quite a large car compared to models of a similar class. The body dimensions of the novelty are:
- length - 491 cm;
- width - 185 cm;
- height - 188 cm;
- wheelbase - 300 cm;
- ground clearance - 16 cm.
It would be appropriate to recall that in the fall, an updated version of the Renault Espace minivan was presented as part of the Paris auto show.
The interior of the new Toyota Alphard
The interior of the car has retained almost all the classic features of cars from Toyota. The instrument panel is quite spacious, ergonomic and allows the driver to quickly and easily get all the information he needs.
The center console also deserves positive feedback, which, like the dashboard, is also convenient, functional and attractive. By the way, the first thing that catches your eye when examining it is an audio-video complex with a fairly massive display, as well as controls for the ventilation and air conditioning system.
In order to emphasize the premium character of the novelty as much as possible, high-quality expensive finishing materials were used in the interior decoration: natural wood, aluminum, and semi-aniline leather.
Confirms the high class of the car and the quality of fitting all parts. Absolutely all details and elements are exactly joined to each other; any bevels and irregularities are completely absent.
Among other things, the novelty is distinguished by a really well-thought-out organization of the entire internal space, which allows six people to comfortably fit in the car (excluding the driver). Also, for maximum comfort, the seats of the first and second rows are equipped with backrest adjustment systems and fore-and-aft adjustment systems. On the third passenger row, three adult passengers can easily accommodate.
The interior of the car has nine transformation options available. So, for example, when folding the rear passenger sofa, the car owner can increase the luggage compartment to 1.9 thousand liters.
Technical features of the Toyota Alphard model
The technical component of the Japanese minivan is represented by the following power units:
- Power plant with a working displacement of 3.5 liters and an output power of about 275 hp. Together with this motor, an automatic transmission and a front-wheel drive system will work. The acceleration dynamics of this power plant is 8.3 s to the first "hundred". Fuel consumption in mixed driving mode - 14.3 liters for every 100 kilometers.
- Power plant with a working displacement of 2.5 liters and an output power of up to 182 hp. A distinctive feature of this unit is the modernized gas distribution system. Together with this motor, a CVT transmission will work, as well as an all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive system. Note that the modification with this motor in the Russian market will not be sold.
The active use of a hybrid power plant by the Japanese manufacturer can also be called quite predictable. This installation includes a gasoline power unit with a working displacement of 2.5 liters and an electric motor with a power of 143 hp. If we are talking about an all-wheel drive modification, then it uses a motor with an output of 68 hp. In general, the power of the hybrid unit is 197 hp. The electrical power of the electric motor is provided by a nickel-metal hydride battery. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic.
The platform on which the car is built stands out with a completely independent suspension design. MacPherson struts are used at the front, and a multi-link design is used at the rear. Safety and ease of control is ensured by disc brakes, anti-lock brakes and directional stability.
Equipment and cost of minivan Toyota Alphard
Despite the fairly wide equipment and a fairly extensive range of available units in our country, only a modification equipped with a power unit with a working displacement of 3.5 liters will be sold. For a car with this engine, dealers will ask about 2.9 million rubles. As for the configuration, it will include a front seat heating system, 16-inch alloy wheels, an air purifier, 3-zone climate control, an audio-video system with a 9-inch display and touch controls.
About 3.3 million rubles will be asked for a car in the "average" configuration, about 3.4 million rubles for a car in the maximum configuration.

Sales market: Russia.
Toyota officially introduced the third generation of the Alphard (H30) luxury minivan at the end of 2014, and domestic sales began in January of the following year. Acceptance of orders for a minivan in Russia and Belarus started on February 5th. The most noticeable change in the appearance of the Alphard was the new design of the front end - with a large decorative grille, visually turning into the bumper air intake. Behind attract attention new lanterns of an unusual form. The all-new interior of the Alphard received a redesigned steering wheel and instrument panel, as well as a wider center console with an oversized multimedia system display. The suspension has been upgraded - instead of a torsion bar semi-independent rear suspension, there is now an independent design on double wishbones. In addition, engineers note increased body rigidity, improved noise and vibration isolation. In the Russian market, the car is available with only one engine option - a 6-cylinder V-shaped 2GR-FE gasoline engine (3.5 l, 275 hp), paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The starting Prestige package of the new Alphard includes LED low and high beam headlights, light alloy wheels (16"), heated front seats, steering wheel and windshield in the wiper rest zone, three-zone climate control with VIP zone control on the overhead console and NanoE Air Ionizer The perforated leather interior also features OTTOMAN second row captain's chairs with electrical adjustment, a multimedia system with a 9" touchscreen display and eight speakers, LED interior lighting with four brightness levels and 16 color options. passengers of the second row of seats are provided with sunblinds for the rear doors, tinted rear and rear side windows, as well as two sunroofs. We add that the base Alphard is equipped with electric side doors and tailgate. The "Lux" package offers 18" wheels, a premium audio system JBL with 17 speakers, navigation, and a VIP entertainment system for the rear passengers, including a 9" WVGA overhead LCD monitor, Blu-ray player, remote control control. The most luxurious performance involves the “Executive Lounge” package - interior trim with elite semi-aniline leather, OTTOMAN captain's chairs of increased comfort with heating, ventilation and a control panel in the armrests, a memory function and individual retractable tables.
In the Russian market, the third-generation Toyota Alphard minivan is offered with a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder V-shaped gasoline engine (Euro-5) with a capacity of 275 hp. at 6200 rpm and maximum torque of 340 Nm at 4700 rpm. Drive - front. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission equipped with an adaptive AI-Shift shifting system and a “manual” mode, the V6 engine allows the minivan to accelerate to 100 km / h in 8.3 seconds, the maximum speed is 200 km / h. In this case, the average fuel consumption is 10.5 liters per 100 km. Toyota Alphard tank volume - 75 liters. The new generation Toyota Alphard is equipped with a preloaded front differential. This should improve starting from a standstill, making it easier to control the car in corners and at high speeds. It can be noted that at home for Alphard, a hybrid model is available based on a 2.5-liter ICE of the 2AR-FXE series with a variable Sequential Shiftmatic box (six fixed gears) and an electric motor on the rear axle (E-Four system), as well as 2.5- liter 2AR-FE with Super CVT-i CVT (seven speeds to choose from).
The fully independent suspension of the new Toyota Alphard (H30) received modified characteristics of shock absorbers and springs, as well as a reshaped anti-roll bar. Innovations are designed to improve the ride and stability of the car at high speed. To reduce the noise level from the incoming air, engineers have provided additional noise-absorbing materials and a special insulating windshield film. The car is equipped with ventilated disc brakes front and rear and an electronic parking brake. The declared ground clearance of the minivan is 160 mm. Body dimensions: 4915 x 1850 x 1895 mm (L x W x H). The wheelbase is 3000 mm, the turning radius is 5.7 m. As for the size of the luggage compartment, everything is in order with this luxury minivan - it can hold up to 1900 liters. A well-thought-out transformation of the cabin helps to conveniently accommodate the transported luggage: the second-row seats have a wide longitudinal adjustment, the rear seats fold in a ratio of 50:50, compactly occupying space along the sides, there are roof rails with luggage clamps in the floor. To relax on the road, you can fully expand both rows of rear seats.
The following systems, included in the standard equipment, are responsible for the active safety of the third generation Toyota Alphard: anti-lock braking, brake force distribution, emergency braking, traction control and road stability, as well as hill climb assistance. The car has front and side airbags, curtain airbags for all rows of seats and a knee airbag for the driver, as well as an Isofix child seat attachment system. The standard equipment includes the ERA-GLONASS device, rear and front parking sensors, cruise control, side LED cornering lights, light and rain sensors.
Read completely“How about emotion, avant-garde and rough style in the business van segment?” - the Japanese thought in 2015 and rolled out the third generation Toyota Alphard onto the podium. While the recognized bestsellers of the market, the Mercedes V-Class and Volkswagen Multivan, set low-key chic and sophisticated restraint at the forefront. So where is the most luxurious Toyota in our market aiming for - in the "top ten" or "milk"?
Photos of Toyota Alphard 2016: new appearance and interior
While other manufacturers are creating cabinets on wheels, upgrading utility trucks, Alphard 3, like the forerunner, was built on the second-generation MC lightweight platform. Hence the light essence of the lines, and the sophisticated optics on LEDs, and the deliberate sportiness of the body kit. Such a celebration of the informal format can scare away and even shock many potential customers. But the originality of the novelty certainly does not hold. In addition to other headlights, the “floating” roof with the central and invisible utilitarian rear pillars attracts the eye. At the same time, the car became lower and longer. To make the image more dynamic, and at the same time provide the V-shaped "six" with an influx of fresh atmosphere, the designers have provided an impressive air duct in the front bumper. Such a solution goes well with triangular niches for fog lights and a massive radiator grille in an hourglass configuration. The inspiration of the creators has not dried up in the course of work on the stern. The rear lights have changed, becoming larger and moved closer to the glazing.
The list of paintwork options is small: snow-white, black and silver body colors are available. If the client wants to maximize the potential of the model's appearance, then it is better to choose a light body, but if he prefers to avoid "majority" - hopeless. By pulling the handle and letting the side door move with the help of a servo, you can see a luxurious leather interior with a low floor, like on passenger models, and a tall roof, like on SUVs. There is no need to bend down or climb using steps. The desired passenger simply enters the inner world of Alphard and immediately sits down in a wide Ottoman-style chair with large armrests and a personal control panel.
The width of the adjustments of the passenger seats of the second line is truly amazing: the angle of the backrest, the longitudinal movement along the sled and even the tilt of the footrest, which gently slides out from under the seat. When thirsty, riders can take a nap in a horizontal position.
Passenger seats in Alphard - the number is not at the expense of comfort
The nominal passenger capacity of the Toyota Alphard is six people plus the driver, wishing to achieve such a result it will be possible only in the configuration with a solid sofa in a mediocre row. Such a salon, as conceived by the creators, should appeal to private individuals who wish to purchase a large car for family trips. According to the company's marketers, only 60% of sold cars are brought to corporate parks, while the remaining 40% of people buy to transport their own children and relatives. In any case, there is a third row of two seats, which are folded and hung with straps to the side walls. This is a very reasonable decision, since there is practically no room for suitcases in a different way. Toyota, realizing this shortage, does not give in the brochures the volume of the trunk behind the backs of the gallery - only the maximum figure of 1900 liters. However, when developing the new generation of the van, they were not openly going to chase the numbers of spaciousness and the level of practicality. Alphard's trump card is in another. Namely, in the spaciousness of the landing, the security of the interior and the comfort of staying in the cabin. Regardless of the configuration, all seats, as well as door cards, are covered with perforated leather. There are two options: beige and black. Two species of finishing wood are also offered, but this is not natural veneer, but in total only stylized plastic. The architecture of the torpedo has not changed much. The driver's station has got a new “tidy” (reads well, although it is equipped with classic arrows) and a different leather steering wheel with aluminum spokes. On the front console, which has the configuration of an inverted trapezoid, there have been metamorphoses with ventilation ducts. For the entertainment of passengers, a 9-inch screen of the multimedia system is additionally installed on the ceiling. Another highlight is the LED illumination of the perimeter of the ceiling matrix, the shade of which is adjustable in a range of 16 positions.
Dimensions minivan Toyota Alphard
With the advent of the new generation, the body parameters have changed somewhat upwards, with the exception of the height:
- length - 4915 mm (+ 75 mm);
- width - 1850 mm (+ 20 mm);
- height - 1880 mm (- 25 mm);
- wheelbase - 3000 mm (+ 50 mm);
- front / rear track - 1575/1600 mm.
Engine characteristics
Under the stubby hood of the “sumo wrestler” one of two gasoline aspirated can be hidden: an in-line four or a V6. The initial version is much cheaper, and it consumes less fuel, but it is not officially imported into Russia. The return of 2.5 liters is 182 hp, which is 12 “horses” more than the previous 2.4. The motor is aggregated with a variator. The second engine is a naturally aspirated 2GR-FE six with a 60º block angle. This unit is known to many by the Camry model, but in this case the power indicator is higher - 275 hp. With the change of generations, the herd remained in the same number, but the torque increased by 10 newton meters - 340 Nm. Paired with a 6-speed "automatic", the power unit is capable of shooting from zero to hundreds in an impressive 8.3 s. At the same time, the average consumption fluctuates around 14 l / 100 km. On the highway, it is possible to reach 8 liters per hundred, which is more than modest for an almost three-ton car.
Is it possible to buy a hybrid in Russia
The luggage compartment is roomy only with folding third-row seats
The hybrid version is equipped with iron-nickel batteries hidden under the hollow, and the traction is provided by the E-Four complex from gasoline 2.5 with 152 hp. and 206 Nm and two electric motors with a capacity of 143 and 68 hp. The total power is 197 hp, peak torque is a whopping 615 Nm. Box - automatic transmission for six speeds. But the company does not plan to import a minivan with a mediocre gasoline consumption of about 5 l / 100 km into Russia. The cost of the hybrid version in Japan is 5,356,800 yen (3,473,334 rubles).

The price of a used minibus, used, left-hand drive

But well-groomed options with a mileage of 30-70 thousand km can be estimated by owners at 2,300,000 - 2,800,000 rubles. The cost of very fresh cars with an engine of 3.5 is in the zone of 3 million rubles. As for the most luxurious version for the Japanese market called Vellfire, for such an exclusive, brought by sea, you will have to pay more than four million.
Test drive and owner reviews
With a six-cylinder engine, a heavy car behaves very briskly, accelerating smoothly but surely at a traffic light. At the same time, the suspension swallows almost all the bumps of the usual road, thanks to the replacement of the rear beam with an independent two-lever, as on the RAV4. Only air suspension can be softer, but it is not offered even for a surcharge. Alphard has no problems with directional stability either, wishing the steering wheel at “zero” could have been more informative. At first, owning a minivan may have problems maneuvering in tight spaces. Typical equipment does not include all-round cameras, although the model is sold in its homeland with an interesting system that operates in the “transparent car” and “side view” modes.
The assembly of the cabin is 5+, but when driving empty, you can notice the creaking and tapping of various interior details. Most of the claims here are addressed to the third row of seats, which is pretty noisy when suspended.
It is appropriate, because of the floor sled in this area, access to the spare wheel is very difficult, but it is possible to install special roof rails to secure any luggage. Among other shortcomings, the owners of the business van note the danger of scratching the paint of the doors that cover the thresholds. If the passenger ones move safely to the side, then the front ones can rest against the curb, which is fraught with unplanned repair of the paintwork.
How much spare parts
Estimated cost of spare parts for Toyota Alphard:
- oil pressure sensor - 3000 rubles;
- cooling system radiator - 30-35 thousand rubles;
- air filter - 500 rubles;
- oil filter - from 300 rubles;
- knock sensor - from 12,000 rubles.
In January 2015, the Japanese automaker presented the new 3rd generation Toyota Alphard minivan, as well as a more luxurious version of the Vellfire based on it. And if the outside of the car in many respects remained similar to its predecessor, then in terms of the “stuffing” there were much more changes.
Most of all, the new Toyota Alphard 2018-2019 (photo and price) is similar to the car of the previous generation in profile, while in front it got a different head optics and a large radiator grille with a bend, reminiscent of a similar solution on Lexus brand models. At the same time, there is a version without a bend, but with more aggressive side air intakes in the front bumper.
Options and prices Toyota Alphard 2020
From the stern, it is easy to distinguish the new Toyota Alphard 2019 model by the new lights, which have noticeably increased in size and moved closer to the glazing. And the Vellfire variant sports a modified rear bumper and a completely different front end design with a more complex grille, bumper and “two-story” lighting equipment.
The architecture of the front panel in the cabin of the van remained the same, but at the same time the car received a new instrument panel and steering wheel, a rethought center console with air ducts of a different shape and a large color screen of the multimedia system. As before, the cabin configuration can have several options - the maximum passenger capacity is eight people.
The chairs of the first and second rows can now move on a common slide, plus the Executive Lounge version has appeared with wider second row seats (+ 100 mm), equipped with individual tables and armrests, retractable footrests, heating and ventilation.
Specifications
Toyota Alphard 2019 in a new body has grown in size compared to the car of the previous generation. Depending on the version, the length of the car now ranges from 4,915 to 4,935 mm (an increase of 75 and 95 mm, respectively), the wheelbase has increased by 50 millimeters to 3,000, the width has added 20 to 1,850, and the height has decreased to 1880.
The company worked on increasing the rigidity of the minivan body, improved noise and vibration isolation, and instead of the previous torsion beam at the rear, a new independent suspension on double wishbones now appeared, which made the car more comfortable.
The base engine for the 2018-2019 Toyota Alphard (characteristics) was a 2.5-liter unit with a capacity of 182 hp. , which replaced the 170-horsepower engine with a working volume of 2.4 liters. It is paired with a modernized 3.5-liter V6, which retained the same output of 275 forces, but received more traction - 340 Nm against 330 before.
The first one is paired with a CVT, and the more powerful one is equipped with a six-speed automatic. In this case, both versions of the model can be both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. And the new Alphard and Vellfire are available with a hybrid powertrain with a total output of 197 hp. (average consumption in the combined cycle is declared at the level of 5.1 l / 100 km).
It consists of a 152-horsepower (206 Nm) gasoline “four” 2.5 liters, operating on the Atkinson cycle, an electric motor on the front axle with a capacity of 143 hp. (270 Nm), 6-speed automatic transmission, as well as an all-wheel drive (E-Four) electric motor (68 forces and 139 Nm) on the rear axle and a nickel-metal hydride battery for energy storage.
What is the price
Today we are supplied with a restyled version of the minivan with a 3.5-liter engine with 300 horsepower. The price of Toyota Alphard 2020 starts from 4,612,000 rubles for the Prestige package, but it already includes a leather interior, ventilation of the front seats, heating of the first two rows of seats, separate captain's chairs at the rear, three-zone climate control, multimedia, a rear-view camera in the salon mirror , blind spot monitoring and 17-inch drives.
The Luxe version (4,880,000 rubles) is complemented by monitors for rear passengers and a JBL premium media system with navigation, while the top version of the Executive Lounge (4,966,000) flaunts expensive leather trim, rear seat ventilation, folding tables and 18″ discs.
Updated Alphard and Vellfire 2018
At the end of December 2017, Toyota introduced updated versions of the 3rd generation Alphard and Vellfire minivans, which received noticeable appearance adjustments, richer equipment and modified technical stuffing.
During restyling, the design of both modifications of the model was seriously revised. Now the design of cars is dominated by complex lines, sharp edges and a large amount of chrome. In front, Toyota Alphard 2019 received a more massive grille, new “forked” headlights, as well as other sections and foglights.
At the stern, the rear lights were revised. As for the interior, the tidy has changed inside, while the Japanese have added several additional leather and wood trim options, of which the black and white scheme is the most interesting.
The rigidity of the body of both cars was increased through the use of adhesive joints in the structure, which had a positive effect on the accuracy of control. As for the line of power units, the basic versions of minivans are still equipped with a 2.5-liter “four” 2AR-FXE with a capacity of 152 hp. (260 Nm), which works in conjunction with the Super CVT-i variator.
Also, Toyota Alphard and Wellfire can be ordered with a hybrid power plant, consisting of the already mentioned 2AR-FXE engine and two electric motors, one of which develops 143 hp. and is located on the front axle, and the second - 68-horsepower (on the rear).
For the flagship versions, a more powerful 3.5-liter V6 is now provided, developing 301 “horses” (+ 21) and 361 Nm of torque (+ 17). Such a motor works in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic.
And if the hybrid Toyota Alphard and Vellfire have all-wheel drive by default, then other modifications can be ordered both in front- and all-wheel drive versions, where an electronic clutch is used to connect the rear axle.
The list of basic equipment has been replenished with the 2nd generation Toyota Safety Sense complex, which includes the ability to read road signs, the function of keeping the car in the occupied lane, recognition systems for pedestrians and cyclists during the daytime, as well as tips when starting traffic in traffic jams or at traffic lights.
Note that during the restyling, the total number of Alphard configurations increased to almost four dozen, while the versions for the disabled received new compact mechanisms for extending the seats outward, which are designed to facilitate boarding and disembarking from the passenger compartment.
Sales of the updated Toyota Alphard and Vellfire in Japan began on January 8, 2018 at a price of 3,354,480 yen (about 30 thousand dollars), and the minivan reached Russia a month later, while it has risen noticeably - now the price range for the model varies from 4,612,000 to 4,966,000 rubles.
Photo salon Toyota Vellfire 2016
In January 2015, the automaker from Japan - Toyota - presented a novelty of the line to the general public. She became Minivan Alphard, which did not stay in the status of a promising specimen, and was immediately offered in the dealer network.
New Toyota Alphard 2015-2016
In the first half of February, Toyota Alphard 2015-2016 began to explore the Russian market.
A superficial acquaintance with the model allows you to form a first impression.
Exterior Toyota Alphard 2015-2016
The car from Japanese designers turned out not just original, but somehow special. Its original exterior is remembered for a long time, and allows the car to be recognizable even in dense city traffic. The creators of the model were able to turn the absurdity of forms into an original, stylish imbalance.
Updated Toyota Alphard 2015-2016 model year
Large, as for this type of car, the radiator grille repeats the ideas implemented in Lexus models. The headlights have a full LED filling, and the running lights sections are made in the shape of the letter J. An impressive front bumper completes the overall picture of the front view, which even has some sporty features.
The design of the body profile emphasizes its status, giving the car features of seriousness and reliability. The reverse slope of the central roof pillar and the visual absence of the rear pillar are striking. The stern also has not quite classical features, but in general it looks solid, continuing the ideas laid down in front and on the side.

Dimensions Toyota Alphard 2015-2016
The 2015-2016 Toyota Alphard turned out to be large, even when compared with its “colleagues” in the class, but due to the imbalance of lines and shapes, the true dimensions are hidden from the eye and so:
- in length, the model received 4914 mm;
- in width - 1850 mm;
- in height - 1880 mm;
- wheelbase was 3000 mm;
- and the clearance is 160 mm.
Recall that in the autumn at the Paris Motor Show with the same parameters, but cheaper, an updated minivan was presented.
Interior Toyota Alphard 2015-2016
In the design of the interior space, the "family" features of the Toyota brand were preserved. The dashboard is convenient and easy to read, allowing you to get maximum information about the condition of the car and the road without being distracted.
Dashboard Toyota Alphard 2015-2016
Modern technical and design solutions were implemented in the center console, and automakers from Japan also did not forget about the external attractiveness of the panel. The large color screen of the multimedia system immediately catches the eye, under which the panels for controlling the radio and climate control were installed.
To emphasize the premium Alphard 2015-20106, high-quality, expensive materials were used in the interior trim, including: decorative elements made of aluminum and natural wood, soft plastic, semi-aniline leather.

The business class segment is also recognized as an assembly. All elements and details fit perfectly to each other, the minimum possible gaps do not cause aesthetic discomfort.
The third generation of the Japanese minivan is distinguished by a properly organized interior space that allows six passengers and a driver to be accommodated with a high level of comfort. The individual seats of the first and second rows are individual, have electric drives for position adjustment, comfortable areas for resting the legs and a decent margin of longitudinal adjustment - up to 1160 mm.
Salon Toyota Alphard 2015-2016 6 - seater
The third row is capable of accommodating three adult passengers, who will have the necessary supply of space on all sides. Salon Toyota Alphard 2015-2016 has nine transformation options, one of which, when folding the rear sofa, allows you to count on a useful luggage compartment volume of 1900 liters. I would like to mention the competitor, which has also been updated.
Specifications Toyota Alphard 2015-2016
To set the Japanese "giant" in motion will be used:
1. V-shaped 3.5-liter 2GR-FE engine. It is capable of delivering 275 hp. power and 340 Nm of torque. The automatic transmission has six ranges of operation, and will transfer power to a non-alternative front-wheel drive. The minivan will be able to accelerate to the first 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, and the maximum speed will be 200 km/h. In mixed driving mode, the engine will require 10.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, in the city - 14.3 liters, on the highway - 8.3 liters.
2. The next available engine is the 2.5 liter 2AR-FE, which used variable valve timing technology. He will be able to offer 182 hp. power and 235 Nm of torque.
To transfer power to the wheels, a continuously variable CVT variator will be used. This version will be available in both front and all-wheel drive. But this copy of the power unit will not be offered in the Russian Federation.
