Toyota Alphard – 20 Series (2008 to 2015) – Welcab Accessibility & Seating Features Overview

The Toyota Alphard 20 Series, manufactured from 2008 to 2015, is a premium people mover that combines luxury, space, and accessibility. In its Welcab configuration, it offers advanced mobility solutions for wheelchair users and passengers with limited mobility, all while maintaining the elegance and comfort expected of the Alphard nameplate.

Key accessibility features include:

• A factory-installed rear ramp designed for smooth wheelchair entry and exit.

• Individual lap and sash seatbelts specifically for wheelchair occupants.

• A factory-installed winch to assist with loading.

• Q’Straint floor tie-down systems for secure wheelchair anchoring.

• A spacious and well-appointed interior layout, ideal for both accessibility and comfort.

Vehicle Access Dimensions:

• Floor-to-ceiling height: 1320 mm

• Rear access width: 760 mm

When the wheelchair space is not being used, the Alphard seamlessly converts into a full passenger vehicle with additional fold-down seats, making it highly versatile for family, professional transport, or community mobility purposes.

Hoist Chair (Electric Lifter Seat) Option:

The Welcab variant of the Alphard may also be equipped with an Electric Hoist Chair. Positioned in either the front or middle row, this powered seat assists passengers with reduced mobility by lowering to ground level and gently lifting them into the vehicle—all controlled with the push of a button.

The system is engineered for both ease of use and visual subtlety, integrating neatly into the cabin without disrupting the Alphard’s refined interior aesthetics.
