Toyota Alphard 2021.

Among the minivans supplied to the Russian market, the new Toyota Alphard of 2021 stands out favorably, which offers a level of comfort that neither VW Multivan nor Kia Carnival can achieve.

For this money, the buyer gets a 6-seater salon, trimmed with artificial leather. The first and second row of seats are complemented by an electric drive that remembers the selected settings.

In addition, a 9-inch touchscreen monitor, a three-zone climate, an extensive security complex and other equipment are available by default for the Japanese minivan.

Toyota Tundra 2022.

In May this year, a teaser campaign for the 2022 Toyota Tundra kicked off, gradually revealing the details of the upcoming new pickup truck.

At the same time, the published photos clearly show that we are talking about a TRD Pro modification, which is confirmed by the nameplates on the hood and a more aggressive body kit.

The exterior of the pickup is so far the only thing that can be learned about the new body of the 2022 Toyota Tundra.

But the fact that the changes should turn out to be global, including in «technology», is beyond doubt, since Toyota is creating a completely new Tundra for the first time in 15 years.
