UMW Toyota has released prices for the Toyota Alphard on its website – the 2.4 G is priced at RM338k and the 3.5 G at RM398k, OTR with insurance. The Alphard 3.5 G just manages to undercut the RM399k Nissan Elgrand 3.5.
The 168 hp/224 Nm 2.4 litre four-cylinder engine comes with a seven-virtual ratio CVT, while the 271 hp/340 Nm 3.5 litre V6 is paired with a six-speed auto. There are all-round disc brakes, MacPherson struts with stabilisers up front and a torsion beam out back, plus electric power steering.
Both variants get 215/60 R17 alloys, seven combination leather seats in a 2-2-3 configuration, an eight-speaker sound system, dual powered sliding doors, triple-zone nano air conditioning, self-levelling HID headlamps and auto wipers. Also standard is a seven-inch touch-screen with HDMI, Bluetooth, Smartphone Link, navigation, voice recognition and a reverse camera with guidelines.
The driver’s seat is eight-way power-adjustable, while the front passenger seat is four-way adjustable with a powered ottoman. The second row captain seats are power-adjustable with powered ottoman and multi-support headrests (grey importers call these ‘Mickey Mouse’ headrests). The third row is split 50/50 with three headrests.
Extra kit on the 3.5 G includes Adaptive Front Lighting System (directional headlamps) and a electrically-operated tailgate (2.4 G has a manual tailgate). Both variants get VSC, ISOFIX child seat anchor points in the second row and a grand total of seven airbags. You read that right.

Comments on the Toyota Alphard pricing reveal are mixed but generally acknowledge its status as a luxury MPV with high price points of RM338k-398k. Many feel the price is justified given its features, safety gear, and the fact it’s brand new with warranty, while others compare it unfavorably to reconditioned models which are significantly cheaper. Some comments criticize the high taxes in Malaysia that inflate prices, and a few express disappointment over the value and outdated engines. There is debate over the true luxury status, with taxi usage in other countries cited as examples, and some commenters preferred alternative models like the Nissan Elgrand, Honda Odyssey, or Vellfire, arguing they offer better value. Overall, sentiment is a mix of praise, skepticism, and comparisons with secondary market options.
