Semakin banyaknya pengguna Toyota Alphard menunjukkan kepercayaan terutama dari kaum "The Have" terhadap produk Toyota ini. Namun seiring banyaknya Alphard yang telihat di jalanan menurunkan image ekslusive dari Alphard itu sendiri, apalagi dengan dengan dipakainya Alphard untuk Taksi Tiara.
Karena itulah beberapa ATPM melirik Vellfire sebagai penggantinya. Berikut Artikel yang diambil dari http://www.zercustoms.com/news/2008-Toyota-Alphard-Vellfire.html
Toyota announced today the Japanese launch of the re-designed Alphard that now comes in two versions - the 2008 Toyota Alphard and the 2008 Toyota Vellfire.
Toyota announced today the Japanese launch of the re-designed Alphard that now comes in two versions - the 2008 Toyota Alphard and the 2008 Toyota Vellfire. The 2008 Toyota Alphard and the 2008 Toyota Vellfire now feature a new V6 3.5-liter Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) engine that is coupled with 6 Super ECT (Super Intelligent Electronically-controlled, Six-speed Automatic Transmission). The 2008 Toyota Alphard and the 2008 Toyota Vellfire equipped with the 2.4-liter VVT-i engine now have an increased power output and feature a Super CVT-i (Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent).Taking as their theme "stately presence—the ultimate minivan", the new models represent a further decisive evolution in all aspects of product performance. The exterior of the Alphard emphasizes "elegance" and "refinement", while that of the Vellfire accentuates "power" and "innovation," thus creating two vehicles with individual identities. A new platform allows for an innovative package, providing further expansion of the interior space and improved ingress and egress. Additionally, an extensive range of equipment—including Executive Power Seats for the second row and indirect LED interior lighting—is aimed at creating a supremely welcoming environment. A revamped powertrain, along with enhanced aerodynamics and lightweight technology, allows the new models to achieve ample dynamic performance together with high levels of environmental performance, including, in particular, substantially improved fuel efficiency. The new models also offer outstanding handling and cruising stability, as well as class-leading*2 levels of safety performance, contributing to their status as Toyota flagship minivans.
