TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announced of the completely redesigned Alphard as two different vehicle series, the "Alphard" and the "Vellfire". Taking as their theme "stately presence—the ultimate minivan", the new models represent a further decisive evolution in all aspects of product performance. The exterior of the Alphard emphasizes "elegance" and "refinement", while that of the Vellfire accentuates "power" and "innovation," thus creating two vehicles with individual identities.
Vehicle Outline
The Alphard and Vellfire share a common theme of delivering a commanding presence and imparting an impressive high-quality feel based on the Toyota vehicle design philosophy of "Vibrant Clarity". At the same time, while the Alphard pursues elegance and refinement in its design, the Vellfire emphasizes power and innovation, so that the two models strongly present separate, individual identities.
Alphard "Elegance and Refinement"
At the front, a "V"-shaped line stretching from the front pillars to the bumper adds dynamism to the front mask, while the elongated large headlights and the dynamic horizontal bar grille make for a high-quality feel. The side view of both the Alphard and the Vellfire presents a sleek monoform silhouette rising in a single sweep from the front fender. At the rear, a "V"-shaped-line running from the rear pillars imparts a sense of depth while the solid bumper gives the vehicle a firmly grounded aspect.
Vellfire "Power and Innovation"
The stepped headlights and a horizontally accentuated grille create a distinct impression, while the front mask, which emphasizes the lines flowing to the sides, expresses innovation.
As with the Alphard, a "V"-shaped line running from the rear pillar imparts a sense of depth while the solid bumper gives the vehicle a firmly grounded aspect. The combination taillights adopt a stepped design using LEDs and clear lenses for a slick appearance.
Both vehicles also feature Toyota's first-ever rear wipers that fold away into the roof spoiler for a clean look. On models with aerodynamic trim (S Grade on the Alphard; Z Grade on the Vellfire), the firm balance between the bumper and side cladding panels creates a sporty image. Meanwhile, 18-inch aluminum wheels create a "meant-to-be driven" look, while the combination taillights have a special smoked-effect coating that enhances their sophistication.

REVIEW : TOYOTA INDONESIAN Version 2012 Alphard G
The most confusing automobil to buy . Too many specs ,
Toyota Indonesia change spec without briefing their sales force , none knows the exact current spec of the car.
The following are SHAVED off by Toyota Indonesia .
a) I find only 8 speakers in Mine , How many are actually Beryllium ? I see only 2 . The rest are unknown brand . Zero speakers on the 3rd row passenger side .
b) The G version Leather seat . They are only 1/2 leather seat . Door , back side of seat are mix using plastic PVC . even plastic PVC is not the best of PVC . very obvious difference , color not 100% matching the real leather part .
c) Steering : No audio controls
d) No AC 100V socket .
e) No AV, socket on floor consul .
f) LCD roof cut to 9"
g) Head Unit by Panasonic , with Gps by Garmin which is useless for Navigation here.
h) No Led sill plate / laser Alphard LOGO .
i) No 12V power outlet beside the one on front dash. So to charge you phone you need pull a long cable from front .
I have not checked under the hood and the head Lighting systems yet .
Truly hard to believe the all high end Toyota Alphard is using only 1/2 leather .
No rear power outlet , little things with cost very little to Toyota but means alot for the passengers.
