The interior has been upgraded for maximum comfort, and it’s packed with advanced safety features like the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 package, which includes things like Pre Collision System and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
Interviewer: That all sounds impressive! Service costs are always a concern for luxury car owners. Can you break down the servicing fees for the Alphard Hybrid after that initial free service period?

Interviewer: Wow, that’s quite a sum! For potential buyers, how can they manage these costs effectively?
John Tan: Planning is key. It’s wise for buyers to budget for these periodic services as part of their ownership costs. Also, keeping track of their mileage and service intervals will help them maximize their warranty benefits during those first three years. Another tip is to always use authorized service centers to prevent unexpected costs due to premature component failures.
Interviewer: Great advice! With such a luxurious yet complex vehicle, what should buyers prioritize when considering the Alphard Hybrid?
John Tan: Comfort and safety should be at the forefront. Given the investment, it’s important to ensure that the vehicle meets personal comfort levels and safety expectations.

John Tan: It’s a valid concern, especially with the price tag of the Alphard Hybrid. However, it’s essential to view it as an investment in comfort and safety. The resale value for luxury vehicles can be quite good in Indonesia, and the Alphard is particularly desirable.
