What is the height of the Alphard?
2 Answers
The dimensions of the Alphard are 4915mm x 1850mm x 1950mm. Exterior: The Alphard measures 4915mm x 1850mm x 1950mm, with a body height exceeding 1900mm and a wheelbase of 3000mm, setting a new record in its class. The design achieves a 'grand and majestic, noble yet dynamic' goal through a robust and imposing body design, along with a low center of gravity and wide body layout. Features: The driver's seat features 8-way power adjustment with a 3-position memory function. The most comfortable second-row seats are equipped with 4-way power-adjustable Ottoman first-class seats, featuring three-way headrests, independent armrests, cup holders in the armrests, a multi-functional folding table, and a maximum reclining angle of 78 degrees. The seats also offer a sliding range of 450mm and are complemented by height-adjustable footrests.
I think the height of the Toyota Alphard is around 1945mm. As someone who often tinkers with car design, this height is quite standard for an MPV—lower than an SUV but with ample interior space. There are many advantages to a lower vehicle height: for example, it lowers the center of gravity, making it more stable at high speeds and less prone to rollovers; there's enough headroom so you don't feel cramped inside; and being under 2 meters means it can fit into most underground parking garages and is easier to wash. Compared to the Honda Odyssey, it's slightly taller, but getting in and out of the car is much easier, especially for elderly people with mobility issues. Having driven this car for several years, I feel its height strikes a good balance between aerodynamics and practicality, and the fuel consumption isn't too high either—very practical.
