Overview of the car Toyota Alfard 2013

In general, the range of minivans on the Russian market is not very rich - suitable cars can be listed on the fingers. One of these machines is rightly considered the Japanese Toyota Alfard. In the domestic market, it appeared more than ten years ago, so it is very difficult to call it a novelty. A few years after its debut, the Japanese developed the second generation of minivans, and then, on the eve of the drop in sales, a restyling version was released. It happened in 2011 year. Well, let's look at how successful the Toyota Alphard car updates were.

Feedback and review of the appearance

Ahead of the novelty looks a bit heavy, but at the same time 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-lamps integrated into the bumper. A small bonnet will initially be smoothed against the background of a large windshield. Side of the body line is more like a bus, although here the designers have not forgotten about the zest. So, the 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, combined with the new front bumper, minimizes the drag coefficient.

Interior

Inside, the novelty strikes with its free space. The salon is able to accommodate even the tallest passenger comfortably. Light colors of furnish and a leather covering create simultaneously effect of solidity and house cosiness. 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. The passenger sitting on the side can adjust his seat in 6 bands. 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 accompanied by 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 with a cut-down engine line. 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. At 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.
