Recently, Car Quality Network learned that Toyota will launch a plug-in hybrid version of the Alphard. The new model will likely cost more due to technological upgrades. However, its status as a new energy vehicle may qualify it for tax reductions.
The Alphard plug-in hybrid retains classic design elements from the Alphard family. It features iconic dual-layer matrix lights and an upright front bumper. These elements highlight its elegance and luxury. The new model offers various color options to meet individual consumer preferences.
The interior of the Alphard plug-in hybrid focuses on luxury and comfort. High-quality materials create the cabin. The ergonomic seat design offers excellent passenger comfort. The new model includes popular tech features, such as a 12.3-inch multimedia screen on the center console. These enhance convenience and comfort.
The new car features a plug-in hybrid system with a 2.5L engine and an electric motor. The battery capacity increases to 16kWh, providing a pure electric range of 71km. The engine delivers a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 240N·m. The front motor produces a maximum power of 134kW and a maximum torque of 270N·m. The rear motor offers a maximum power of 40kW and a maximum torque of 121N·m. The total system power reaches 184kW. The plug-in hybrid version matches the current model’s total system power. Thus, it maintains similar performance levels. However, the increased battery capacity allows for more pure electric driving scenarios. Therefore, we expect better fuel economy. Car Quality Network will continue to monitor and report on further news about the new car.
