Worldwide

The first generation of Alphard was originality made for Japanese segment.But there are importers in different countries that import the Alphard.The second generation of Alphard is sold in the official Toyota dealership in Indonesia.IN the first year ( 2008 ), only they only provide the 3.5 G trim in the official Toyota dealership line up,and later,2 new trims are available : the 2.4 X and the 2.4 G.Both of these new trims are segmented for those who think that 2.4 engine is already powerful enough to carry the car.The 2.4 X trim has less features and a lower interior quality.
