Toyota Alphard 3.5 – Powertrain

Toyota Alphard 3.5 Engine

As per the model name, the Toyota Alphard 3.5 is equipped with a naturally aspirated V6 engine displacing 3.5 litres. The new 2GR-FKS engine, introduced during the 2018 model improvement timing, delivers high outputs of 300 PS at 6,600 rpm and 361 Nm of torque at 4,600 rpm. Compared to the model launched in 2016, these are an increase of 29 PS and 21 Nm, all thanks to better valve timing duration (VVTi-W) and Toyota’s dual fuel delivery system via direct and port injections called D-4S.

Toyota Alphard Transmission

The Toyota Alphard 3.5 not only gets an improved engine performance in this facelift model from 2018, but also a revamped transmission unit. It now features eight forward ratios, two extra compared to the outgoing model.
The eight-speed transmission contributes to optimum fuel economy. Low gear ratio improves acceleration performance while higher ratios deliver lower engine speeds for highway driving, contributing to enhanced quietness and ride comfort.

Toyota Alphard Chassis

Toyota had spent more research and development on the second-generation Toyota Alphard, among the key highlights is the introduction of a new multi-link double-wishbone rear suspension. Thicker high-tensile strength steel plates are used together with structural adhesive to increase body rigidity and achieve a luxurious, comfortable ride with stable handling.

The tyres measure 235/50R18 in size and are Toyo Tranpath R30 type. Manoeuvring into parking lots and multi storey car park ramps is made a little easier thanks to a competitive turning radius of 5.8 metres.
