Feedback and review of the appearance

Ahead of the novelty looks a bit heavy, butwhile in the design there are features of solidity. In the full face, the car shows us the huge headlights of the trapezium-shaped main light, the "predatory" air intake and the fog-lights integrated into the bumper. The small hood is original to the back of the big windshield. Side of the body line is more like a bus, although here the designers have not forgotten about the zest. So, restyling Toyota Alfard is interesting with its high lateral line and inflated wheel arches. The form of the frames of the passenger doors is also not devoid of originality. In the upper part of the body there is a small spoiler, which, in combination with the new front bumper, minimizes the drag coefficient.

Interior

Inside, the novelty strikes its freespace. The salon is able to accommodate even the tallest passenger comfortably. Light colors and leather trim create simultaneously the effect of solidity and home comfort. But the main feature is not in this, but in quality and number of seats. Let's start with the driver. For him, there is a chair with automatic adjustment in eight directions.

A passenger sitting on the side can adjust hisa seat in 6 ranges. In this case, do not forget about the function of the horizontal back. Passengers of the second row are also not without comfort. For them, the manufacturer has provided OTTOMAN chairs with a 4-band backrest adjustment and the possibility of a horizontal arrangement. They are supplied with a special footrest. The last, third row of seats is less manned, but it is no less comfortable.

Specifications

In Russia, Toyota Alfard will be presented withcut down by a ruler of engines. To be more precise, domestic buyers do not have anything else, except for one V-shaped unit with a capacity of 275 horsepower and a working volume of 3.5 liters. At the same time, despite such characteristics, with the "appetite" of the minivan everything is in order. For 100 km Toyota Alfard spends only 11 liters of fuel. The dynamics of the "Japanese" is no less striking. The acceleration time from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour is just over 8 seconds, while the peak speed freezes at around 200 km / h.
