About the Toyota Alphard AH10
The AH10-generation Toyota Alphard arrived in 2002 as a premium alternative to the Previa, specifically targeting the Japanese domestic market's growing demand for executive transport. The 2.4 MS trim serves as the sportier mid-range variant, featuring a distinctive mesh grille and 17-inch alloy wheels that set it apart from the more conservative AX and AS grades. Inside, it offers a 'theatre-style' seating arrangement with high-quality materials and optional Ottoman captain's chairs, providing a level of refinement usually reserved for luxury saloons. While the 2.4-litre 2AZ-FE engine prioritises smooth progress over outright speed, the Alphard's soft suspension and excellent sound insulation make it a popular choice for long-distance cruising and VIP shuttle duties.
