FactToyota gave the first Alphard curvy styling to make it look smaller than it was, aiming it at buyers aged 30 to 40.
Toyota launched the Alphard on 22 May 2002 as a front-wheel-drive large MPV based on the second-generation Previa/Estima, a day after its rival the second-generation Nissan Elgrand. It was sold in two versions with different grilles, the Alphard G at Toyopet Store and the Alphard V at Netz Store. Engines were a 2.4-litre four and a 3.0-litre V6, and a hybrid with E-Four all-wheel drive followed in May 2003. A refresh in April 2005 gave the 3.0-litre a five-speed automatic.

Toyota capped the fourth-gen Alphard at 5 metres long and 1.85 wide just to fit Japan's automated parking towers.
The AH30 Alphard swapped its old torsion-beam rear axle for a double-wishbone setup, flattening the floor enough to let the second-row seats slide a full 1,160mm fore and aft.
The Royal Lounge option stripped out the rear of a 3.5 Alphard and fitted just two first-class seats, for a limousine ride.

This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.
The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.

The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
