Alphard model codes, decoded
Learn what AGH, GGH, AYH, AAHH and the trailing numbers actually tell you.
A good decision starts by separating what is documented, what is observed and what is merely claimed. This guide gives you a practical framework for that conversation.
Code before trim
The chassis/model code is a better starting point than marketing trim names, which can be translated or described inconsistently.
Letters and numbers
Families such as AGH, GGH, AYH, AAHH and AAHP distinguish broad platform or powertrain groupings. The trailing number can distinguish drive or platform variants.
What it cannot prove
The code alone does not prove build month, equipment, condition, compliance pathway or current import eligibility.
Common Alphard code families
These are orientation-level family descriptions. Verify the full code and build date on the vehicle and its documents.
| Code family | Generation | Broad description | What still needs checking |
|---|---|---|---|
| AGH30 / AGH35 | 30 Series | Petrol family | Check chassis suffix, production date and exact specification. |
| GGH30 / GGH35 | 30 Series | Petrol V6 family | Do not infer trim, condition or eligibility from the code alone. |
| AYH30 | 30 Series | Petrol-electric hybrid, AWD family | The current mapped ROVER descriptor has a narrower build-date scope. |
| AGH40 / AGH45 | 40 Series | Petrol family | The mapped AGH40 ROVER record covers a stated conversion scope only. |
| AAHH40 / AAHH45 | 40 Series | Petrol-electric hybrid family | Confirm exact drivetrain and build details against Toyota material. |
| AAHP45 | 40 Series | Plug-in hybrid family | Toyota’s launch specification is Japanese-market material; Australian pathway is separate. |
Mapped government records currently cover selected AGH30, AYH30 and AGH40 descriptors. They are not a complete list of eligible vehicles and do not establish approval for any individual car.
