There are numerous recognisable features on the Toyota Alphard that even non-car folks would have a field day describing. From the bold front grille that resembles a knight’s face shield to the overall bread box design, the Alphard also has its own emblem in front instead of the regular Toyota ellipses. The story behind the Alphard’s unique logo lies in the name of the flagship MPV itself. The name comes from Alpha Hydrae, the brightest star in the snake-shaped Hydra constellation. In fact, the

The 2023 AH40 Toyota Alphard and Vellfire festival shows no signs of slowing down as news of a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant surfaces. In all honesty, news of a PHEV Alphard and Vellfire isn’t surprising at all. For one, the premium MPVs ride on the same TNGA-K platform for large vehicles. Among the models sharing it include the RAV4, Harrier, Camry, Crown and Lexus NX. And what do all these models have in common? That’s right, they all PHEV variants, as pointed out by Japanese publication Best

A group of students at the Nihon Automobile College (NATS) are planning to display a unique customization project that combines an Alphard with a Hilux at Tokyo Auto Salon 2023 (TAS 2023). Every year since 1997, the automotive college exhibits a

Toyota is currently on a roll, slapping its Gazoo Racing badge on new models, including on the Yaris, creating the stonking little Toyota GR Yaris in the process. Now, if a report from overseas is to be believed, then it looks like the next recipient of the hallowed GR badging is the next-generation Toyota 86. But before you get confused, keep in mind that Toyota has two GR badges - GR for performance-oriented models and GR Sport is for cars with slight chassis upgrades but with limited-to-no-ch

Yes, you read that correctly. The next generation C63 will reportedly drop the traditional AMG V8 for an in-line 4. And that’s not all, it will also be all-wheel drive. Before you get your pitchforks out to storm Affalterbach, this is reported by Autocar so it isn’t official yet. But we wouldn’t want to get your hopes up because what was mentioned does make sense, unfortunately. The biggest factor contributing to the change would be the ever-increasing efforts to reduce emissions. That's just ho
