TVT Supercharged April 25, 2013 Share April 25, 2013 hahahaha.. 3.5L really steady.. the engine sound.. really turn on.. but the thing is.. 2.4 I find is a bit underpowered.. For Estima is okay.. Alphard 2.4 underpowered.. S-Max and Sharan.. Lose to Alphard big time in terms of space.. Shouldn't Alphard be compared to Galaxy, Elgrand and Elyssion instead of S-max and Sharan? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VellfireS 4th Gear April 25, 2013 Share April 25, 2013 Shouldn't Alphard be compared to Galaxy, Elgrand and Elyssion instead of S-max and Sharan? I think Galaxy is out of the league.. The competition is between Elgrand and Elyssion.. But Elyssion I think here no more.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presea 2nd Gear April 25, 2013 Author Share April 25, 2013 My bad... I personally don't like boxy MPVs, so I used that for a comparison (in an earlier post) And all the MPVs I have tested this year have been the smaller sized ones...At the moment, the Sharan and S-Max tops my list However, as I have also included crossovers like CX9 (and Sorento/Santa Fe/XC90) in my shortlist, I decided to open up to the possibility of the Alphard, hence the extended "test drive" in Hokkaido. If I do consider the Alphard/Vellfire, than the Elysion will definitely make my list (because I have previously owned a vtec car and I badly miss the creamy smooth rpm curve) And although in a similar (7-seat) genre, both the Q7 and the Land Rover Discovery 4 fails as one is way too expensive (Q7) and the LR is too utilitarian; the SE almost broke a fingernail trying to open and close the rear seats from the tail gate. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
