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.

01

Code before trim

The chassis/model code is a better starting point than marketing trim names, which can be translated or described inconsistently.

02

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.

03

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 familyGenerationBroad descriptionWhat still needs checking
AGH30 / AGH3530 SeriesPetrol familyCheck chassis suffix, production date and exact specification.
GGH30 / GGH3530 SeriesPetrol V6 familyDo not infer trim, condition or eligibility from the code alone.
AYH3030 SeriesPetrol-electric hybrid, AWD familyThe current mapped ROVER descriptor has a narrower build-date scope.
AGH40 / AGH4540 SeriesPetrol familyThe mapped AGH40 ROVER record covers a stated conversion scope only.
AAHH40 / AAHH4540 SeriesPetrol-electric hybrid familyConfirm exact drivetrain and build details against Toyota material.
AAHP4540 SeriesPlug-in hybrid familyToyota’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.
