alphard is the only single car where i can get comfortable at the 3rd row seats much more than most car at its 1st (very front) row seat.. such a lovely car
I really like the way you reviewing on the details, the little perks that will actually make you consider buying it or not. All those specs, numbers etc we can google it and compare. Thanks for the review.
I’ve bought a 1st model of Alphard ANH10 2.4.. it’s very comfortable & nice to drive.. very spacious & the seats are nice.. didn’t feel tired at all after a long drive.. KL-JB-KL no problem at all.. maintenance also not so high.. Toyota always give good quality products..👍🏼👍🏼 Btw..nice review Bobby 👍🏼👍🏼
What's missing in this review is the fuel mileage/fuel consumption for the Alphard 3.5L V6 in the real world 50/50 highway/city. Would be perfect so that buyers can know what they're getting into before purchasing a V6 engine vs 2.5L engine. Important note is running cost besides all the frills you'll get from a 3.5L V6. 🤗
Here in the USA, the only minivan that Toyota offers is the Toyota Sienna. The same V6 engine with 296 horsepower which translates to 301 PS for you guys.
I've only seen these type of MPVs in SE Asia. I really wonder how well they might sell in the US. The bold styling is subjective, but it's definitely more distinctive than the styling of minivans in the US currently.
"Sometimes it's nice to drive cars that roll. It lets you know how stupid you are before you know how dead you are." Nice la bro. Jokes aside, great review, very helpful information. The whole scene at the end, though, classic.
Hi Bobby, your review of cars is unique and inject a sense of practicality. Btw, I notice you have limited review on Peugeot makes. Any chance you could do a review on the 508 and 3008?
The best thing to do with these cars is to drive long distance on a highway with your family. Stress free, you’ll arrive fresh after long hours of driving.
do alphard and vellfire have safety features like auto parking, lane assist control and 360 degree camera?the V-class not comfort as alphard vellfire even similar price?TQ
yupe, the V-class isn't as comfortable as both the vellfire and alphard. i don't think the official VellPhards have safety features like auto parking, but maybe the high spec ones brought in by dealers might have it.
Many Japanese young married couples with children like that type of box cars. Because those cars are ideal for carrying whole family members to a sushi restaurant on weekends.
+Shim true yes! They're perfect! I wonder when will Audi and BMW start making cars like this. The Mercedes V-Class just can't match the comfort of these two.
Nice review. Right now, Alphard is out of stock here in the Philippines, maybe because of company's strategy to wait for the impending price increase. Anyway, i am in big dilemma on what to buy, Alphard, V 220D AvantGarde, Prado or whatever.... I have a driver, I enjoy the second row seats, i do my work sometimes in the second row, I use the car a lot - around 25 to 60 km a day, drives the crazy traffic of Manila and highways of the Philippines? What do you think I should have? Do you have a review of the V class. Given these daily driving / commuting lifestyle - what best option do I have? Thanks/ I do like your reviews. It helps "ordinary" people like me to get another expert's view.
i think you should use (flat camera lens) when doing review rather than concave or curve lens on the edge..looks ridiculous! and annoying! love your details content review tho!
Nice to hear English review in Malaysia. 1, How about driving experience for long drive ? 2, Diver can be found relaxed after long drive in vellfire ? In india only vellfire is available.
Nice car. Nice review.. Tq bobby.. Driving experience like the old alphard? At higher speed the car not comfortable.. Rasa goyang.. Haha.. New alphard still feeling like that?
Bobby i hope u read this and reply this, now toyota has sell the new vellfire , so which one should i buy recon or new one ? yaa toyota is mlre expensive
Fakhrullah Saifuddin imo recon is a better choice. For official import you are gonna pay 400K+ when a 230K+ recon one has better specs. I own a recon 2016 Alphard V6 (290K) and one of my friends has the new 2018 Alphard executive lounge (540K) bought new from toyota. My recon one has much better specs. The executive lounge from toyota selling @ 540K doesn’t even have the pre crash system, 360 degree camera, automatic parking etc. Very disappointing. My recon one has it all. But the executive lounge has nicer 2nd row seats. It is more of a chauffeur-driven car.
Jefferson Lim I'll buy the Volvo XC90 because my kids are still very young. Put it this way, if your family is big because of kids - XC90, if your family is big because of old people - Alphard.
XC90 is a ultimate choice for its all sophisticated technology including contact-less boot operation compared to this japanese MPV's. Yet, the insurance cost and roadtax quite cheaper than Alphard. but, here's comes for long-term maintenance. the XC-90 have 20" alloy rim which means you have to spend over RM1000 to replace the tires. All in all, its depends your pocket, sir. :)
Is it worth the upgrade from the first generation of Vellfire? also, I am planning on getting a Toyota Land cruiser instead of a new vellfire , is it cramped for 8-9 adults? is it more of a downgrade or an upgrade?
Jeremmie Hean if you already own the first gen vellfire for a couple of years already and wanna change a new car and it has to fit 8-9, i dont think you have other choices in the market. Land Cruiser is the Ninja King (LX570) right? That's an epic car bro! And totally different thing altogether. If you don't have old people that might have difficulty climbing up, why not? It's not as spacious as the vellfire though ... but epic offroad capabilities and on road presence.
I owned a lc200. You can't compare vellfire with the land cruiser because it's really feel or drive so different. The third row is not good when you're cruising fast. Buy the lc if you like to fly bump or whatever. TBH buy vellfire or alphard instead of lc if you always go for long journey.
Isaak Wing i wished too, let me see how can i get my hands on one, because apparently they can't take criticisms and has since banned me if I'm not wrong. Nevertheless i do wish for them to do well.
Oh i should. I've been in that car a couple of times, gotta tell you, while it looks as luxurious as these Japanese lounge on wheels, the comfort levels are so different. That car hops and bops around like a van, albeit one with leather lined interiors. The Alphards and Vellfires are created for comfort cruising, down to the core of each part of their engineering. The Vitos are commercial vans, and then lined with a luxurious interior for the V-Class.
so in the malaysian spec alphard, the head unit cant be operated when its on drive? seriously? i have one here in indonesia and its fully functional even when its on drive and the v6 model comes with the executive lounge trim, which has a far better interior than the G/Executive trim
+Darren Fabian as far as i tried, can't search songs, can't scroll through your phonebook and return call from the centre unit when driving. Cant enter gps address as well. Have to stop to operate certain functions that involved keying in stuffs
I love the last few seconds of the video n the rest I dont lime it at all not bcos Bobby is not doing his job just that it's totally out of my reach.... Mahal la🤣
to me also the front is fugly, while the rear is really cool and aggressive (also side view), and overall the previous gen looks better. that fugly front is also the case with toyota esquire (to much royal in your face kinda feel), on the other hand, noah or voxy looks really cool (the current one, the previous noah was nice but voxy still ugly)
I saw many aunties carry kids with this van. What do you need full leather, comfortable for the kids? You just need to give them cartoon or tablet. That’s all
Absolutely an amazing job reviewing this car. Very informative and honest. I can tell you really are passionate about reviewing cars.
alphard is the only single car where i can get comfortable at the 3rd row seats much more than most car at its 1st (very front) row seat.. such a lovely car
Yeah man ... .never thought i'll like it .... but i did in the end ....

Lovely and Elegant car. Very spacious and very good for long journey for a family.
I've driven the Toyota Alphard earlier. It drives fantastic

+Joshua D'Oliveiro thanks mate ... we were having some fun before the shoot .. i find it so hilarious and stupid decided to add it in

Bobby Ang ..
Thanks for the great review and clear my misconceptions.
viknesh248 thank you so much! Yeah i never thought i'll like the alphards as well
Love went bobby pull the alphard and of course the sound of the V6, ,
Hi Bobby, your review of cars is unique and inject a sense of practicality. Btw, I notice you have limited review on Peugeot makes. Any chance you could do a review on the 508 and 3008?
+Kelvin Tang oh yes i wanted to!
In my country, there also had Executive Lounge model, using this V6 Engine, even the facelift version with black leather
Great review and thanks for the hard work. Hope to see a review of XC90.
Thanks! Will definitely get the XC90 review once I manage to get the car, it's selling like hot cakes!
Thanks you. =D
Wow! very epic ending
The best thing to do with these cars is to drive long distance on a highway with your family. Stress free, you’ll arrive fresh after long hours of driving.
hi Bobby around 3:25 minute you mentioned previous generation is looks good, which model are you referring to ? confused .....
nice review bro.....👍 i own a 2006 alphard it is so comfortable family vehicle.
How about vellfire, which is the only option available in india this 2020 ?
can you remove the back seats?
I'm glad there's a much better looking van, the sienna.
do alphard and vellfire have safety features like auto parking, lane assist control and 360 degree camera?the V-class not comfort as alphard vellfire even similar price?TQ
yupe, the V-class isn't as comfortable as both the vellfire and alphard. i don't think the official VellPhards have safety features like auto parking, but maybe the high spec ones brought in by dealers might have it.
TQ. what is major difference between vellfire 2.5, alphard 3.5 and alphard exe. lounge beside exterior, engine and transmission?mohon pencerahan
2.5 underpower, 3.5 over power. Interior lounge and all i really can't explain much because there are so many variants.
Raja Petani there is nothing different between alphard and vellfire, besides exterior look
Can you make a review on the 2019 Hyundai Grand Starex Prime
Hi Bobby, how’s the soundproofing(wind noise and tyre noise) like for Alphard/Vellfire? Typical Japanese car standard? Many thanks.
Good review, subscribed!

Great review👍👍😅😅the end though
How about the fuel consumption for 2.5
Should have the Enya track playing in the background when doing the Van Split. :D
love the ending
i think you should use (flat camera lens) when doing review rather than concave or curve lens on the edge..looks ridiculous! and annoying!
love your details content review tho!
Hows the fuel consumption? And fuel tank capacity
Would you buy a xc90 or vellfire
Nice to hear English review in Malaysia.
1, How about driving experience for long drive ?
2, Diver can be found relaxed after long drive in vellfire ?
In india only vellfire is available.
Very good review 👍 Hello from Sri Lanka
+chamirk hello! Pls visit malaysia!
Hi Bobby, can you please review the Toyota Voxy? Thanks 👍
Need this in the uk
No u don't
If There's In UK It Will Be Very fast Sold Out Right 😂
You can get 20 series in the UK
So the vellfire is just basically a weaker and sportier version of the alphard?
They should have made the third row seat fold into the floor like tarago/estima.
Nice car. Nice review.. Tq bobby.. Driving experience like the old alphard? At higher speed the car not comfortable.. Rasa goyang.. Haha.. New alphard still feeling like that?
what diffrent new version ckd &recon@cbu vellfire?
j. mal theres no ckd for alphard, all imported from japan
Staring price for Toyota Alphard in Singapore cost about $120K onwards
Bobby i hope u read this and reply this, now toyota has sell the new vellfire , so which one should i buy recon or new one ? yaa toyota is mlre expensive
Fakhrullah Saifuddin imo recon is a better choice. For official import you are gonna pay 400K+ when a 230K+ recon one has better specs. I own a recon 2016 Alphard V6 (290K) and one of my friends has the new 2018 Alphard executive lounge (540K) bought new from toyota. My recon one has much better specs.

But the executive lounge has nicer 2nd row seats. It is more of a chauffeur-driven car.
Hi Bobby, if you have 400k, will you buy this Alphard 3.5 or Volvo XC90 T8?
Jefferson Lim I'll buy the Volvo XC90 because my kids are still very young. Put it this way, if your family is big because of kids - XC90, if your family is big because of old people - Alphard.
Thanks for the quick reply Bobby. I will still wish for BMW 535d touring. Sad, Malaysia don't appreciate wagon.
Jefferson Lim oh that's a powerhouse. I witnessed a BMW M550d Touring in front of me when i travel to Munich early this year. Amazing car
XC90 is a ultimate choice for its all sophisticated technology including contact-less boot operation compared to this japanese MPV's. Yet, the insurance cost and roadtax quite cheaper than Alphard.
but, here's comes for long-term maintenance. the XC-90 have 20" alloy rim which means you have to spend over RM1000 to replace the tires.
All in all, its depends your pocket, sir. :)
thats a interesting comparison.. good that you brought it up.
This alphard is paired with cvt or 8 speed?
very nice review
Qaisar Abbas thanks! Help me share ya! Cheers

Oh well..... A large company still cannot take criticism from consumer, FAIL!
nice review. hope you can review mercedes V-class. the price is almost same as 3.5 alphard.
Oh i should. I've been in that car a couple of times, gotta tell you, while it looks as luxurious as these Japanese lounge on wheels, the comfort levels are so different. That car hops and bops around like a van, albeit one with leather lined interiors. The Alphards and Vellfires are created for comfort cruising, down to the core of each part of their engineering.

because in Indonesia the 3,5 Executive lounge doesn't use Fortuner head din meanwhile the 2.5 G and X use Yaris head din
Bobby Ang ohh i see
I referred to Nissan Serena c27 2018... better than Alphard because more safety more save money and more comfortable
FZ ikhwan channel people that can afford alphard won’t even bother looking at serena. you get what you pay for. alphard is more luxurious than serena.
Nah. The alphard actually has a softer suspension setup
