Is 117 Horsepower Enough for the Alphard?
1 Answers
The new Alphard is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated L4 hybrid engine. It performs adequately for daily urban roads, highways, and city expressways, with 117 horsepower being sufficient. Unique Target Audience: Its consumer base typically consists of individuals seeking ultimate comfort, often employing professional drivers, unlike frequent usage seen in regular family cars. Daily Usage Scenarios of the Alphard: Its most common usage involves appearances at various banquets or events, primarily navigating urban paved roads with potentially poor traffic conditions. Few consumers would choose to drive it on highways. Top Speed: Even in situations requiring highway driving, the Alphard poses no significant concern, as it can reach a top speed of 180 mph. In China, it's unlikely to reach such limits, which helps maintain its excellent reputation to this day.
