FAQs — Toyota Alphard Imports & Buying
            What engines are available on the latest Alphard? 2.5 L gasoline (2AR-FE), 2.5 L hybrid (A25A-FXS), and upcoming PHEV (A25A-FXS-based) with e-Four AWD.
            Is e-Four mechanical AWD? No — it’s an electric hybrid AWD system that powers the rear axle via motor assist for added stability.
            What’s the difference between Alphard and Vellfire? Both share the same platform; Vellfire offers a sportier design and 2.4 L turbo option, while Alphard emphasizes luxury and hybrid/PHEV options.
            Can I import a 2023–2025 Alphard to the USA? Not yet under the 25-year rule; newer models require a compliant Registered Importer pathway.
