Toyota Alphard Electrifying Power Upgrade 4th Generation Reveal
ByPawaniToyota’s Alphard has always been synonymous with luxury and style in the minivan segment. On September 7, 2023, M’s Speed, a company renowned for developing, manufacturing, and selling aero parts, provided a sneak peek into the future of the beloved Alphard with a striking CG image of their upcoming aero specification.
The Alphard, first introduced in 2002, has enjoyed several iterations, with a full model change in 2008 that marked the birth of the Vellfire, catering to users seeking more individuality. After eight years, on June 21, 2023, both the Alphard and Vellfire underwent a significant transformation, introducing the fourth generation Alphard and the third generation Vellfire to the world.
Toyota has a clear vision for this latest Alphard/Vellfire iteration, aiming to create a space that prioritizes the comfort and consideration of all passengers, whether they are in the driver’s seat or relaxing in the back. Toyota defines this concept as the “happiness of comfortable transportation” and has endeavored to uphold this value across generations.
In the pursuit of the “happiness of comfortable travel,” the new Alphard/Vellfire has embraced the development theme of “sublimating performance to world standards.” It features an optimized platform based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, specifically tailored for minivans (GA-K).
The exterior design of the Alphard has been carefully crafted around the keywords “Forceful x IMPACT LUXURY.” This results in a striking overall design that combines power and luxury. The motif, reminiscent of a bullfight in action, adds a dynamic touch to the vehicle’s appearance.
Notably, M’s Speed is working on special aero parts designed to complement this dynamic design. They’ve shared a CG image of the finished product, describing it as having “just the right amount of sporty taste without being too extreme.” The CG preview showcases under spoilers and skirts attached to the front, sides, and rear, lending the Alphard a sporty edge. The distinctive front grille garnish, which covers the emblem, completely transforms the front face, providing a fresh and aggressive appearance. To enhance the sporty feel further, the Alphard will feature large-diameter wheels and a lowered stance, boosting its overall power and presence.
While the CG image offers a tantalizing glimpse, M’s Speed advises enthusiasts to be patient and wait for the completion of the demo car, which is expected to make its debut soon.
With the new “Powerful Shakotan Specification” and the commitment to the “happiness of comfortable transportation,” Toyota’s Alphard continues to evolve, blending style, luxury, and sportiness in a manner that is sure to captivate enthusiasts and minivan aficionados alike.

Toyota has released a new version of its Alphard and Vellfire minivans
Toyota has released the fourth generation of its popular minivan, the Alphard, and the third generation of its lesser known minivan, the Vellfire. Despite rumors that the Vellfire would be discontinued, Toyota has decided to continue production of both vehicles. The chief engineer of the Vellfire, Kenichi Yoshioka, and the design executive officer, Signe Humphries, were present at the unveiling of the new models. The vice president of Toyota, Hiroki Nakajima, also spoke at the event. The Alphard and Vellfire are both designed to be comfortable family vehicles, with spacious interiors and comfortable rides. Despite being less well-known than the Alphard, the Vellfire has a dedicated following among younger drivers.
Toyota has fully redesigned the Alphard and Vellfire models. Simon, one of the key people involved in the redesign, stated that the previous Vellfire model lacked individuality compared to the Alphard. Therefore, the new models have gone back to their roots and have a clear distinction between the two. The Alphard has a formal character while the Vellfire has a sporty character. The development team received feedback from real Vellfire owners, including Toyota’s CEO, who wanted to make the models even better. The redesign fully utilizes Toyota’s TNGA technology.
Toyota has released a new version of its Alphard and Vellfire minivans. The Vellfire has been designed with a focus on driving performance, with improvements made to the body’s rigidity and suspension. The platform is based on the GA-K and includes a performance brace and shock absorbers with increased damping force, as well as 19-inch tires and special EPS control. In contrast, the Alphard is more focused on comfort for chauffeur-driven use. Both models have undergone changes thanks to the TNGA platform. A plug-in hybrid version of the Vellfire is expected to be added in the future.

A custom car that could also be called an “Agephado,” a DIY conversion of Toyota’s luxury minivan “Alphard” into a full-fledged SUV.
The Alphard is Toyota’s world-class luxury minivan. The current model is the third generation developed under the concept of a “large-space luxury saloon,” which was introduced in 2015.
The model that became the ALPHARD is also based on this third generation. Not only is the vehicle extremely lifted, but it is also equipped with a bull bar, giving it a full-fledged SUV look.
According to the owner, Tom, the vehicle height has been increased by about 8 inches (203mm) including the lift-up kit and tires. The tires are the same size as those used on the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, a full-fledged cross-country four-wheel drive vehicle, and are large off-road tires.
At the front, the factory bumper has been cut and a bull bar modified from one for the Toyota Hiace has been installed, and skid plates for the Toyota Hilux have been diverted.
On the sides, door mirror covers and over fenders have been installed and chipping paint has been applied, and a “roof carrier,” a standard item for off-road vehicles, has been installed on the roof to further enhance the SUV look.
The rear of the vehicle is equipped with rear tires similar to those on a full-scale cross-country four-wheel drive vehicle such as a RANCL, and a ladder is also installed, giving the impression that it is not a minivan at all.
The cost of the modification, which is of interest, was approximately 1,000,000 yen, which is only the cost of parts, since it was installed as a DIY project.
The cost of the modification is said to be about 1 million yen.
Although the “Agephado” has been heavily customized, it has of course passed vehicle inspections and is officially certified.
Various comments have been made about this car on SNS and other social networking sites.
