With the current production capacity, 5,000 to 6,000 units is the best, so it is roughly in line with the target number. If orders exceed 5,000 units per month, the delivery time will be extended accordingly.
Rumors about delivery date of new Toyota “Alphard”
Currently, it is said that the delivery time for the Alphard is being extended due to various issues, which are the result of Toyota Industries’ certification fraud announced on January 29, 2024. It is also said that there is a labor shortage at the factory, and finally, quality. If the production volume is increased, quality issues will arise, so it is necessary to keep the production volume at a certain level…
Toyota’s new Alphard: What options should you add to increase resale value?
Toyota Teammate Advanced Park + Parking Brake Support
“Executive Lounge” and “Z Premier” are standard equipment. The new “Alphard” comes standard with “Next Generation Toyota Safety Sense” . This alone is great as it has many functions, but even though the car already has a full range of safety equipment (Z is a manufacturer option), it is definitely worth adding this.
Advanced Park
After parking next to the space you want to park in, press the Advanced Park switch to confirm the parking position. Then, when you press the Start switch, the system will monitor the surroundings and assist with steering, acceleration, and braking to complete the parking operation (shift operation is manual).
Advanced Park (with remote function) Hybrid vehicle
Hybrid cars are available exclusively, and by operating a special smartphone app from outside the car, you can park and exit the car remotely. If you want to do this, then a hybrid car is definitely the way to go.
Parking Support Brake (Stationary Objects) [Intelligent Clearance Sonar]
When parking or driving at low speeds, when there is a risk of colliding with a wall or other stationary object, when suddenly accelerating due to accidentally pressing the accelerator pedal or pressing it too hard, or when starting off by accidentally placing the gear lever in the wrong position, the system activates if the sensor detects a stationary object moving in front of or in front of the vehicle to help mitigate the collision and reduce the damage caused by the collision.
Digital inner mirror
The “Executive Lounge” is standard equipment. It is a manufacturer’s option for the “Z Premier”, “Z” and “G”. If you have many passengers in the back seat or a lot of luggage in the trunk, we recommend that you install the “Digital Inner Mirror”.
Universal step (both sides)
The “Executive Lounge”, “Z Premier”, “Z” and “G” are all available as manufacturer options. We recommend installing it for those who have elderly people or small children in the back seat. The disadvantage is that you will not be able to install a spare tire. From an export perspective, having a spare tire may be fine, but if you are considering the domestic market, I think a universal step is a good idea.
Universal Step
Twin dimming panoramic roof
The seats feature a “super long overhead console” and a “twin dimming panoramic roof .” These are optional for the “Alphard” and “Z” grades, but we recommend adding them.
Toyota’s new “Alphard” partial improvement 2024 model price grade forecast
Toyota was scheduled to make some improvements to the new 40-series Alphard and add a base grade “X” model in June 2024, but the release date has been postponed and changed to around August 2024. ( This may be changed due to the influence of Toyota Industries’ certification fraud announced on January 29, 2024. )
The new Alphard will be available in three grades: the top-of-the-line Executive Lounge, the mid-range Z, and the entry-level X. (The previous model had eight grades: X, S, SC, SR, G, GF, SC, and Executive Lounge.) The new Vellfire will be available in two grades: Executive Lounge and Z Premium.
Alphard price grade
The price difference is about 4 million yen, between the X grade at 4,620,000 yen and the higher-end Executive Lounge at 8,500,000 yen.

Toyota’s new “Alphard” specs
The hybrid system for the 2.5L engine tuned for the new Alphard and Vellfire is being completely renewed. The 2.5L THS II pursues excellent power performance and low fuel consumption at a high level through the synergy effect of compact, lightweight, and low-loss technology, and the high combustion efficiency and high output of the new engine based on TNGA. It achieves high starting acceleration performance and a direct driving feel that completely changes the image of hybrid car driving. In addition to improving the system efficiency during high-speed driving, high-speed fuel efficiency is improved by enabling intermittent engine operation even at high vehicle speeds. Looking at the specs, the fuel efficiency (17.5-17.7km/L) is comparable to that of old compact cars, and the system’s maximum output of 184w (250ps) is attractive for its impeccable driving performance. When considering resale value, choosing a hybrid car is a sure choice.
