If you’d like an English language Nissan Elgrand owner’s handbook to help explain how all of this works, you can buy one here. There is a lot of equipment on these cars! In addition to the transmission and seating options already mentioned above, the following equipment is available, albeit not at all trim levels. I think it is best to think of it as having luxury / spacious accommodation for 6 people, or 4 if you’ve got the 3rd row seats folded to the side for extra boot space. These seats can be folded to the side for extra luggage space. The 3rd row seating is also configured as 2 ‘main’ seats at the sides with a lap belt for the 3rd person in the middle.

Some of the higher trim levels don’t have this middle seat in the 2nd row. Where present, the middle seat doubles as an arm rest/table/storage area. The outer 2 seats in the middle are captain style seats rather than a long bench. The Elgrand seats 7 or 8 people depending on the trim level and seat type. The 3.5 litre VQ35DE engine is also found in the excellent 350Z roadster (Fairlady Z in Japan) and V35 Skyline.īoth engines are available with rear or switchable 4 wheel drive via a 5 speed automatic gearbox.

I’ve jumped straight to the 2nd generation because it is the most popular at the moment. Featuring a retractable 12.1-inch screen and a 17-speaker JBL sound system, Toyota’s latest vans afford you the opportunity to make every afternoon a Dog Day Afternoon.The Nissan Elgrand E51 is the second generation of Nissan’s premium minivan / people carrier / MPV. Naturally, you’ll want to watch some flicks during your vannin’ experience, and the Executive Lounge has you covered in that department, as well. The cabin’s trimmed with some sort of 3D-printed olive burl woodgrain with a metallic base layer for a superlative techno-nature experience. The VIP-aspirant can opt for the Executive Lounge package, featuring cushier suspension, wider heated and cooled second-row seats-whose comfort, Toyota assures us, rival that of a sofa-a power ottoman with extension, and a stowable table. But when you’re vannin’, the motor is secondary to the interior. Prospective Alphadian/Vellfirites can choose from a 2.5-liter four-banger, a 3.6-liter V-6, or a hybrid setup with AWD. The Vellfire, in contrast, looks more like typical Japanese sporting-van fare. According to Toyota, “The Alphard exterior emphasizes luxury, while the Vellfire exterior emphasizes boldness.” We’d actually call the Alphard the bolder of the two, featuring a grille design that wouldn’t be out of place on a mecha breastplate. Which makes them relatively mammoth vehicles by JDM standards. Metris what?īuilt to compete with the Nissan Elgrand and Honda Elysion-two other whimsically named vans we’re unfortunately denied-the Alphard and Vellfire roughly occupy the same size space as the Sienna does here. The Toyota Vellfire Welcab includes an integrated wheelchair.
