Toyota’s people movers are making their presence
felt at the ongoing GIIAS 2017. In attendance are the Toyota Hiace Luxury and
Toyota Alphard Hybrid. PT Toyota Astra Motor’s display is divided into four
zones – Modern Family Zone, Adventure Zone, Active Zone and the Modern
Executive Zone.
The Toyota Hiace Luxury is one of the five products
occupying a spot in the Modern Family Zone. The plus sized van’s cabin can seat
up to 11 passengers with the middle two rows featuring individual captain seats
with 4-direction sliding control. The cabin gets ceiling mounted AC vents for
all rows, a 6-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, AUX and USB support and folding
tables with cup holders for occupants.
The Toyota Hiace Luxury is powered by a 2.5 L
2KD-FTV D-4D diesel engine that churns out 102 PS of maximum power and 26.5 kgm
of peak torque. A 5-speed manual is the only transmission option on offer.
The Modern Executive Zone houses premium products including the new Toyota Voxy, Camry
Hybrid, and Alphard Hybrid. The Alphard Hybrid on display at the 2017 GIIAS is
finished in black and features blue highlights around the front bumper and fog
lamp region. The exterior is characterized by boxy styling with an imposing
chrome-heavy nose and an upright tailgate.
The cabin of the Toyota Alphard Hybrid can seat
seven occupants, but it is the level of luxury on offer that is its USP. The
middle row gets business class like lounge type chairs.
It borrows the Camry Hybrid’s 2AR-FXE 2.5-liter
Atkinson cycle engine combined with an E-CVT gearbox. The Indonesian-spec
Alphard Hybrid produces 152 PS and 21 kg.m of peak torque. It is priced at IDR
1,419,800,000.
