This is the Toyota Alphard, currently imported into China. The Chinese name of the Alphard is Ai’erfa. The Chinese name of the ILFY is Aifei. Joylong didn’t stop at just copying the car, they did the name as well! The Joylong IFLY will most likely be powered by a China-made variant of the famous Mitsubishi 2.4 liter four-cylinder petrol engine that powers zillions of cheap Chinese SUV’s and pickup trucks. Power will sing around 150hp and 200nm. Price of the IFLY will start around 150.000 yuan, whereas the Alphard starts at 620.000 yuan.
