jonathan david I was going to suggest this, weird looking van. But it makes this Alphard look like an Odyssey. They have awesome seats in the back, search “Vellfire Executive”. Also, there are plenty of Alphards in NZ. A mate has one for his family runabout, like a nice minivan, fetch around 8,000nzd.

Roads Untraveled we have tons of these vehicles on our roads in Saint lucia from japan if you think this alphard is cool you should check out or google the Toyota Velfire it is the more VIP version of the alphard you will certainly LOVE its JDM goodness. You can check out the Toyota voxy or Noah. All of these are mini vans

Growing up as a Filipino in Indonesia before moving to Canada, every rich person either had this or the Land Cruiser

As someone whos parent is Indonesian, i can confirm this.

A lot of people don't realize it, but this is a perfect intro JDM vehicle. It's a Toyota parts bin vehicle. My 06 has the 2az-fe, awd, and almost every mechanical part is available in Canada. The brakes/suspension is from a Sienna, AWD from a Rav4, engine from a Camry. Perfect for a DIYer, since you can easily get parts from most places.

In Indonesia if you have one of these. you are rich AF.

I always love the production value you guys put into your videos.

I live in Jamaica so I see them everyday

Love it!!!!! Perfect for ROAD TRIPS!!!!! Reminds me of my Sienna XLE!!!!! We went to the Grand Canyon in and Sonoita. Toyota also had the awesome Previa too. These vans are pimp 😎 👍💪✌👏 loving it!!!!!

I believe there was an even more luxurious version of this which had captain seats for the second row, and a sunroof.

Unique car for sure. Keep up the great work, and awesome content. 👌👌

Seen plenty of these in South East Asia

@wws2020

Yeah, it's an ideal car for businessmen and politicians at South East Asia (I'm Malaysian)

I never thought i would come to like minivans, until my dad bought one of these. 2018 Alphard Executive Lounge V6, it is truly an amazing car. Exceptional comfort and is as refined as a Mercedes S-Class. People tend to judge this car for being so boxy and ugly, but they never know how amazing it is to ride in one. Not to mention how quick it is with the V6. 7.2 secs to 100kmh. No surprise why these are all over Asia

Next up to review, the nemesis of Alphard, Nissan ELGRAND

I just bought an alphard 3.5 petrol ,I loved so much ❤

These thing are very common in Indonesia, and known as rich symbol here. Usually parked along with benz, range rover or even porches in their house.

That thing is pretty cool!! The perfect family van. 👌

This minivan and its brother, Toyota Vellfire, is very popular in South East Asia. You will see these a lot when you're in South East Asia.

I have a white 2002. It's everything Marcus says. No coil overs or aftermarket exhaust on mine and the adjustable suspension is awesome. Seats also lay totally flat too. Love the in dash CD/DVD/MD/Nav and backup camera.

Best review to date. Love it

I've heard of the alphard. If you spend as much time as I do on tradecarview at work, you would know too. That thing has a sick, very intimidating grille! Almost like a semi truck! And the newer ones? Man! Those look like something made specifically to turn up in, at an anime convention!

That'd be great for road trips with friends.

These are dope vans, such a comfy ride.

In where I am living, Alphards are everywhere......

We got same minivan bro Mine was pearl white luxury color in it I agree to you that it is catchy eye car for people and looks awesome so take care on it

Alphard is literally the most common luxury vehicle in southeast asia haha😂.Nice video tho👍

I have a Toyota Estima (Previa in some countries). You could say it's a mom's JDM machine. Kinda have the same specs as the Alphard. My country has tons of them lying around in dealerships, but they're pricey.

We have 3 imports all toyota, loved our Granvia bit the Alphard is more refined, starting to take off in the UK, vw transporter camper alternative for sure, very reliable, exceptional build quality, well it is a Toyota after all!

It's equivalent of cadillac escalade in south east asia, except it's a minivan

Just put a deposit on one in the uk. I'm so excited

very nice looking van

This thing is so quirky and cool. I fucking love shit like this. Good job Toyota and Roads Untraveled

When I went to Hong Kong for missions trip last year, these Toyota vans were literally everywhere, they even have Lexus vans there haha. Pretty quirky

Very nice van ❤

sat in one (2004 model) a few times and really like it. Its easier to get in and out compare to the toyota sienna. Has much more head room. Though Im more interest in the Honda Stepwgn. Install some modellista body kit on it XD

so it's basically a tall Toyota Camry with lots of neat little features. be sweet to slap an Eaton supercharger on it

Awesome van

How is it with spare parts, belts, service etc...is it readily available in these importing countries? I'm particularly keen to know if it makes sense to buy something with 60-100k miles on clock?

This is a perfect bang bus, all that space and curtains for privacy

so sick. BC represent!

I see them every day. I've programmed a few keys for them. I own the smaller version called the Noah. Got a few friends that own them.

I own a very low mileage 2006 3.0i Alphard with all the extras ... Mine is whisper quite with a slight growl if I hit the gas hard. I'm using high spec 5w/30 synthetic oil and E5 fuel. Runs like a dream. What's the mileage on the vehicle you're driving?

it's wierd when you said that car is "Never Heard" because that car is very common in Indonesia😁😁😁. it's like a must have car for rich people in Indonesia.

the logo on the front grille is a styled letter “a” as in Alphard

Alphards make excellent campervans. Add a pop top, a rock n roll bed & a side (or rear) conversion & you're good to go

I need a JDM wagon or van as a daily!

I live in Hong Kong, these are like super common, along with the new Previa as well. very luxurious and they got a lower tier trim called the Vielfire which is basically a Alphard but a bit more sporty i think. Its the Boss Van. cheaper alternative to a Rolyce or a Bently but still not Cheap brand new. Costs as much as a S Class Brand new in Canada at least in HK...cuz we got stupid Tax

Hey Anyone no where I can get lowering springs for my alphard? Eibach told me they don’t list any for it. Was wanting to put pro kit it.

My family got that facelift alphard and also the estima. Here in Malaysia, it shows the status of a person 🙃

Bruh, we get 2 sunroof down here in Asia. And captain seats in the 2nd row for the mid trim and up...and a 2.4 liter motor option for those "on the cheap"

Everybody have one here in Mozambique, very popular!

There are a suprising number of these here in UK, many imported them from japan

I live here in Malaysia,We see this car like everyday lol

Thanks for the video! Anyone know what Canadian spec Toyota vehicle share parts with the Alphard? I know it's a Camry engine, but what about the AWD system and axles?

Nice car. Mines a vellfire 2009. in indonesia some people also use this car in the vid as an ambulance. Sadly cant import 1 to the USA...

It's so odd, that it's actually pretty cool.

Cool. But I can’t imagine why I’d ever want one.

Hey roads untraveled.im the new onwer of this alphard.im wondering if u can help me out of it history. Thanks in advance

Dude I want one.

we have tons of these Alphards here in south east asia, they're actually 35k-45k brand new and popular among rich families who wanted a luxury minivan lol, a status symbol too. Rich people in Indonesia usually bought the Toyota Alphard for family car, and the Toyota Harrier for daily use, and the Toyota Ist for school runs. Obviously they're pretty expensive compared to other cars in the same category. It looks huge here! but it looks normal sized there in canada lol.

You can install powerboot and extra powerdoor.

The front end and headlights look sort of like an escalade

Again I have heard of these before, there’s a fair few in the uk

They’re everywhere here in the Philippines!

at last, alphard on BC. cool!

We get these in Australia as grey imports l have seen a couple were l live in Sydney and l don't know how much the owner paid for this Alphard but in Australia you can pick up one for around aud $20000 also there are higher dpec models available and l saw a Toyota Alphard for a little under aud$100000 which had done only 10kms and these are the absulute King of people movers that's what I we call them in Australia

If you think this is cool, then you should see the 2nd and 3rd generation Alphard & Vellfire, your mind would literally be blown.

Your Toyota van ? How did you bring it to the USA

Cool

in southeast asia (im in malaysia), these things are really really really really common

ok what size wheel and tyres please
