Without those, then it becomes senseless. Remember that Toyota high-end vehicles (already a standard in the 3rd gen Estima/Previa) is for the mirrors to have integrated turn signal indicators Is the Alphard due for replacement this year? Seems a bit too early but how would I know?Īnyhow, something is wrong with that pic. Would love to add more discussion but need to go for now, will continue later. One maybe good for certain users but again may not be perfect for others.
#Alphard vs elgrand vs elysion plus
So conclusion, all cars has plus and minus points. On the other hand this suspension setup contributes to superior stability and handling on the road.Īn extra of around 8-10cm ceiling’s height on Alphard vs Elysion is also contributes tremendously to extra spacious feeling. The 3rd row seat in Alphard wins! This is because double wishbone suspension setup in Elysion takes a little bit of the witdh. This extra 6 cm means extra seating space and comfort for putting 4 adult in a row. They all have excess room all roundĪs mentioned before the Elysion’s 2nd row seat is the widest 1455mm vs 1390mm on Alphard vs 1310 on Elgrand due to the wide stepper on Alpahrd and Elgrand.

The 3rd row knee room Alphard wins! Btw, should we put it into correct perspective, neither Elysion nor Alphard nor would Elgrand have any shortage of knee room or space in normal usage. See picture and inset photo for actual comparison. My reference confirms that the distance is about 240mm if measured correctly with same distance for baggage area. Regarding the knee distance 2nd row, Alphard and Elysion is almost the same. There are plenty of little errors here and there need to be re-check and counter-check ourselves. My personal observation, not all Japanese magazines are accurate. One small point, none of the PI convinced me to get their Elysion, their knowledge abt the car was pathetic unlike you.and none interested to dress it up either like what being offered for the alphard.īy the way, thanks for the new Alphard photo, any rear view? Hopefully it has the mark X or the latest flagship lexus twin exhaust design and lets see whether itchy backside to change car again.hehe Otherwise, no regret not getting the King of the mpv, family decision made few mths ago to get the roomiest available. better fuel consumption and performance of the 3L VCM can tilt the middle row seat (bring up the sofa) to provide more luggage space nicer blue speedometer cluster (now missed my ody) And I've cruised at 182-185km/hr with minimum effort, try to do that with HIACE.Īcceleration acceptable, 0-100km/hr sprint is around 10 seconds, can never outrun the 3L Elysion, limitation of the base toyota vvti 2.4 2AZFE engine.įrom my own personal point, current Elysion is better than alphard with the following :. Knee space distance for 3rd row: Alphard 220mm, Elysion 120mm, RB1 50mmĪfter running in, today 14800km, the handling had improved tremendously especially with the 18inch wheel, now can take fast corners at expressway entry or exit at 90km/hr and above, as good as the superb odyssey. Knee space distance for 2nd row: Alphard 480mm, Elysion 270mm, RB1 200mm (from Japan magazine available at kinokinuya) The same rack had served me well on my Espace, Trajet, Stream, Previa and lastly Odyssey.īut its roomy and comfy with wide window for passenger, tested it with my family before we decided upon the alphard compared to Elysion, confirmed that its the biggest mpv that we've ever own.
#Alphard vs elgrand vs elysion install
Its true, Alphard is 1.93 m stock, could not go to the upper deck of Raffles Hospital and it is not wise to install my trusty 6-7 yr old Thule roof rack either.
