In-Depth Comparison: New ALPHARD 2024 Petrol vs Hybrid

By B Autohaus: Helping You Choose the Perfect Luxury MPV

When people think of luxury family MPVs in Thailand, one name dominates the conversation: Toyota ALPHARD. This 7-seater premium van has long been a favorite among families, executives, and business leaders who demand space, comfort, and status in equal measure.

Now, for 2024, Toyota has unveiled the New ALPHARD, offering two main options: petrol or hybrid. Each comes with its own strengths, depending on your priorities.

At B Autohaus, we’re here to break down exactly how these two models compare, so you can confidently choose the right one for your needs.

Key Differences Between New ALPHARD 2024 Petrol vs Hybrid

1. Engine & Performance
· ALPHARD Z 2024 (Petrol)
   - 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine
   - 182 hp at 6,000 rpm
   - 235 Nm of torque at 4,100 rpm
   - Paired with a Super CVT-i automatic transmission

· ALPHARD HEV (Hybrid)
   - Combines a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor
   - Delivers up to 250 hp at 4,500 rpm and 238 Nm of torque
   - Uses an E-CVT automatic transmission with E-Four all-wheel drive for smooth, balanced power delivery—ideal for both city and highway driving.

2. Fuel Efficiency
No surprises here: the hybrid is far more economical.
· ALPHARD HEV: averages 17.9 km/l, perfect for daily urban commutes or long trips with fewer fuel stops.
· ALPHARD Z Petrol: averages 10.64 km/l, still respectable for a large MPV, but less efficient overall.

3. Emissions & Environmental Impact
· The hybrid emits less CO2 and pollutants, thanks to its ability to switch to electric-only driving in certain conditions.
· The petrol model, running solely on its gasoline engine, inevitably produces higher exhaust emissions.

If reducing your carbon footprint is important, the hybrid clearly wins.


4. Driving Feel & Noise
· The petrol ALPHARD tends to be more responsive, delivering quicker acceleration with a lively, confident driving feel. Its straightforward mechanical system also means a slightly lighter, more agile character.
· The hybrid, while powerful on paper, can feel a touch softer in outright acceleration. However, the electric motor assists with torque at low speeds, making it whisper-quiet, exceptionally smooth, and noticeably more serene in city traffic.


5. Long-Term Maintenance
· The petrol model often comes with lower maintenance costs. Mechanics are universally familiar with conventional petrol engines, and parts are widely available at competitive prices.
· The hybrid requires specialized service for its hybrid systems and battery packs, potentially leading to higher costs down the line. It’s crucial to rely on certified technicians who understand hybrid technology.
