Why Does the Alphard Have Two Logos?

2 Answers

The reason the Alphard has two logos is: The Alphard is an imported model, and some imported Toyotas use one logo on the front while the Toyota logo is used on the rear. Taking the 2020 Luxury Edition Alphard as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4975mm, width 1850mm, height 1945mm, wheelbase 3000mm, fuel tank capacity 58L, and curb weight 2270kg. The 2020 Luxury Edition Alphard features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a double-wishbone independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a total motor power of 155kW and a total motor torque of 409Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.

I've driven several Alphards and noticed many people are curious about why it has two different logos. Actually, the standard Alphard comes from the factory with only a Toyota badge, but owners often like to modify the front grille to adopt a Lexus-style emblem, creating the illusion of mismatched front and rear logos. This is mainly done to enhance the sense of luxury and prestige, as the Alphard holds a high status in the premium market, and fitting it with a Lexus badge can make it appear more upscale. Additionally, the modification cost isn't high—just a few hundred bucks at an auto parts market—but one must be cautious about illegal modifications, such as failing annual inspections or facing insurance claim rejections. I recommend sticking with the factory setup for safety; if you really want to modify, go to a reputable shop and avoid cheap, low-quality parts. Overall, this phenomenon is quite common and reflects the growing demand for automotive personalization.

What Causes the Engine to Shake with a 'Tut-Tut' Sound?

There are several reasons why a car engine may shake with a 'tut-tut' sound, including engine misfire, excessively rich fuel mixture, and cold starts. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Engine Misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly. Common symptoms include intermittent exhaust flow, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and a clear 'tut-tut' or 'thud-thud' sound from the engine. This issue is often related to faults in the ignition coil. 2. Excessively Rich Fuel Mixture: When the engine's fuel mixture is too rich, symptoms include difficulty starting the engine, poor acceleration after starting, uneven engine operation, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, a 'tut-tut' sound from the engine, sometimes accompanied by backfiring, reduced engine power, and increased fuel consumption. This is mostly related to carbon buildup and clogged filters. 3. Cold Starts: During a cold start, the engine's lubrication is less effective due to poor oil flow and higher viscosity, leading to mechanical wear noises. Additionally, the coolant temperature is low during a cold start, and the fuel mixture is richer, resulting in incomplete combustion. This can cause the engine to shake and produce a 'tut-tut' sound, which is generally considered normal.

Does Modifying the Mid-to-Rear Exhaust System Damage the Car?

It will have a certain impact on the car. Replacing the full exhaust system mainly increases the diameter of the exhaust pipe, making the exhaust smoother and allowing the car's horsepower to be more easily utilized during high-speed driving. Replacing the mid-to-rear section primarily involves changing the catalytic converter and controlling exhaust backpressure. Theoretically, the more backpressure is released, the smaller the low-end torque becomes, which may slightly reduce acceleration performance, but high-speed horsepower will be better utilized. Additionally, modifying the exhaust system is illegal. Below are relevant extended materials: 1. Illegal Modifications: Small and micro passenger cars are allowed to install front and rear anti-collision devices; cargo vehicles are permitted to add windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc.; and enhancing interior decorations are the three permissible modifications. Any other modifications that alter the vehicle's brand, model, engine type, or change the registered appearance and technical data of the vehicle are considered illegal modifications. 2. Penalties for Illegal Modifications: If a privately modified vehicle is driven on the road, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate the vehicle, enforce its scrapping, and impose a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan on the driver, along with revoking the driver's license.

What is the exemption period for small passenger vehicles?

Trucks: Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 10 years; after 10 years, every 6 months. Small vehicles: Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 6 years, with eligible vehicles only needing to obtain inspection labels. Starting November 20, 2020, 7-9 seat non-commercial mini buses (excluding vans) are included in the exemption scope.

Can a car pass the annual inspection with the malfunction indicator light on?

A car cannot pass the annual inspection if the malfunction indicator light is on. The annual inspection checks whether the car meets the required standards, and if any malfunction indicator light is illuminated during the inspection, the car will fail. Annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and related equipment are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint finish is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records. Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust emissions, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Requirements for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles." Check whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations, and whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle. Also, verify whether any changes have been properly approved and documented. Inspect whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need replacement. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or district where the vehicle is registered, along with the maximum seating capacity in the driver's cabin, is painted in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required. For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including the rear tailgate of trailers) displays the license plate number enlarged 2–3 times as required. For privately owned or jointly operated vehicles, check whether the word "Private" is painted on both sides of the door. The markings must be clear and should not include unit codes or other patterns (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).

How to Check if the Timing Belt Needs Replacement

To determine if the timing belt needs replacement, look for the following signs: 1. The car lacks power and struggles to accelerate when going uphill; 2. The engine shakes severely at idle; 3. The exhaust pipe makes a popping sound when accelerating; 4. There is a knocking sound inside the engine when starting the motor; 5. The timing belt shows cracks or wear. The timing belt should be replaced approximately every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The timing belt is a critical component of the engine's valve timing system, made of rubber. Its function is to ensure accurate intake and exhaust timing, synchronize the engine's ignition with cylinder movement, and maintain smooth power output from the engine.
