The Toyota Alphard Hybrid: A blog dedicated to exploring the 3.0 version of Toyota Safety Sense
TSS 3.0
(Toyota Safety Sense) is the most advanced version of Toyota Safety Sense, it
introduces several new features that are designed to make driving safer for
everyone, which is an advanced driving assistance system and active safety
protection system. The motorcycle detection feature can detect motorcycles in
the car's blind spot and warn drivers about potential risks. The Toyota Alphard
is far from a new car. This third-generation model was launched back, and also
quietly (and very lightly) facelifted. So, why are we reviewing it just now?
Because after a long while, it is now being offered as a hybrid with TSS 3.0
Intelligent driving assistance system and active safety protection system. In
this blog post, we will explore the impressive features that make the Toyota
Alphard Hybrid a standout contender in its class.
TSS 3.0
(Toyota Safety Sense)
ACC (Active
Distance Maintenance and Speed Control System): This system helps maintain a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead and can control the speed of the Alphard,
including full-speed range and stop-and-go capabilities.
PCS
(Pre-Collision System) with Early Warning Protection: The system detects
potential collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists
and provides warnings and braking assistance to help mitigate or avoid
accidents.
LTA (Lane
Tracing Assist) System: This feature helps keep the vehicle cantered in its
lane by providing steering assistance and can also detect and warn the driver
if the vehicle is unintentionally departing from the lane.
AHS
(Intelligent High Beam Automatic Shielding System): The Alphard's headlights
automatically switch between high and low beams to provide optimal visibility
while avoiding dazzling other drivers.
RSA (Speed
Limit Identification Assist System): This system uses a camera to detect road
signs and displays the current speed limit in the instrument cluster, helping
the driver stay aware of the speed limit.
Intelligent
Brake Assist System: This feature helps provide additional braking force when
the system detects that the driver is not applying enough force to avoid a
collision.
ABS
(Anti-lock Braking System): ABS helps prevent wheels from locking up during
braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.
BAS (Brake
Assist System): This system provides additional braking force in emergency
situations to help reduce stopping distances.
EBD
(Electronic Brake Force Distribution System): EBD optimizes brake force
distribution between the front and rear wheels to improve stability and braking
performance.
VSC (Vehicle
Stability Control System): VSC helps prevent the vehicle from skidding or
sliding during cornering or slippery conditions by selectively applying brakes
and adjusting engine power.
TRC
(Tracking Anti-Skid Control System): TRC helps prevent wheel spinning during
acceleration on slippery surfaces.
HAC (Hill
Start Assist Control System): This system prevents the vehicle from rolling
backward when starting on an incline by automatically applying the brakes for a
short period of time.
BSM (Blind
Spot Monitoring System): BSM uses sensors to detect vehicles in the blind spot
and provides visual or audible warnings to the driver.
RCTAB (Rear
Cross-Traffic Alert with Brake Assist): This system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear while the vehicle is in reverse and provides
warnings. It can also apply the brakes to mitigate a potential collision.
TPMS (Tire
Pressure Monitoring System): TPMS monitors the tire pressure and alerts the
driver if any tire is significantly underinflated.
These are
just some of the safety features included in the Toyota Alphard Hybrid 2.5L
E-4WD 6-Seater Automatic with TSS 3.0. The combination of these systems aims to
enhance safety and provide peace of mind for both the driver and passengers.
Toyota Alphard
Hybrid (Powertrain and Efficiency)
At the heart
of the Alphard Hybrid lies a highly efficient powertrain. The 2.5L A25A-FXS
inline four-cylinder engine, combined with a permanent magnet synchronous
motor, delivers a seamless balance of power and fuel economy. With a maximum
output voltage of 650V, the hybrid system produces an impressive comprehensive
horsepower of 250PS. The Alphard Hybrid achieves an average fuel consumption
rating of approximately 15.5 km/l, making it an environmentally conscious
choice without compromising performance.
The 2024 Toyota Alphard Hybrid 2.5L E-4WD 6-Seater Automatic is a remarkable vehicle
that combines luxurious comfort, advanced safety features, and exceptional fuel
efficiency. With its hybrid powertrain and cutting-edge technologies, the
Alphard Hybrid stands out as a top choice for those seeking a spacious and
eco-friendly vehicle.
