Hiace has about 140hp 400nm, faster than the Alphard if you really wanna beat on it. It’s a fun little machine. Has more comfortable seats but the ride quality is honestly shit.
The Alphard has about 220hp and 333nm, idk the 0-100 but it’s decent but heavy enough to make it weigh like a pig. More comfortable going above 100kmh. It’s more comfortable ride quality wise the seats etc no. Super stiff idk why the Japanese love literal bricks (newer alphards also has stiff seats)
The interior is souley preference. One came in fun colors and more comfortable (any trim of the super custom G family has better seats than the alphard) the alphard has more luxury feel to it but the hiace has more of a homey feel to it supremely more comfortable. Say if the Alphard is a suit and tie. The hiace is a fuzzy coat in a winter night
