1. Toyota Alphard 2019 Brief Overview

Sitting on top of the minivan hierarchy is the Toyota Alphard, Toyota’s forerunner in the minivan family initially making its debut in 2001. Officially launched in the Philippines last year, this third-generation, 5-door, 7- to 8-seating arrangement car has a 2GR-FE 3.5L and a V-6 cylinder torque that can produce 276 HP.

It takes pride on its super CVT automatic 7-speed power transmission and its front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive platform. Two words to define the overall driving experience is smooth and easy. The driver has the captain’s seat of having visibility of the entire surrounding. Regardless of its heavier built, parking in cramped and limited space won’t be an issue thanks to its blind spot assist and lane keep assist.

4. Toyota Alphard 2019 Pros & Cons

Pros

• Wow driving experience
• Deluxe interior

Cons

• Space for storage - For a family with kids, a lot of things need to be packed and moved regularly. The third row of the Alphard can become rather cramped, especially if the captain chairs are all set to be all the way back. If the car is full-packed with seven people, there won’t be enough space for every passenger’s stuff.
