Toyota has unveiled updates for the 2025 Alphard and Vellfire minivans, bringing some exciting changes, including a new plug-in hybrid option and a luxurious new trim for the Alphard. These models, which debuted their fourth generation in June 2023, are now adding a plug-in hybrid variant to their lineup, alongside the existing gasoline and hybrid versions.

The new plug-in hybrid combines a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with Toyota’s E-Four all-wheel drive system, delivering 302 hp. A fast charger can recharge the battery to 80% in just 38 minutes, providing an electric range of 45 miles on a full charge.

The battery’s position under the floor lowers the center of gravity by 1.4 inches, improving stability. Toyota also promises a quieter and smoother driving experience, especially in electric mode, thanks to extra sound insulation that reduces noise and vibrations.

The Toyota Alphard also gets a new Space Lounge trim, which offers a four-seat layout with independent captain’s chairs in the back, aimed at providing a truly luxurious experience. This trim is available in both the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions and takes inspiration from the Lexus LM for its plush interior.

Higher trims like the Z and Z Premier now come with a premium 15-speaker JBL sound system and a 14-inch display for rear passengers. All versions of the minivans also get a Digital Interior Mirror, which displays footage from both the front and rear cameras.

Sales of the updated Alphard and Vellfire will start in Japan in January 2025, with prices ranging from ¥5,100,000 to ¥10,650,000 ($32,600 to $68,100) for the Alphard and from ¥6,700,000 to ¥10,850,000 ($42,800 to $69,300) for the Vellfire, depending on the powertrain and trim.
