In terms of performance -- power, handling, responsiveness. Are they not underpowered? Better consider the next engine displacement up?
How about comfort and ride? Fuel consumption, reliability and maintenance cost?

Mostly driven alone or with 2-3 passengers mostly city-driving.

Thanks for the inputs.
Looking at your use and most of your prioroties, the Explorer Ecoboost seems more apt. On reliability and maintenance cost, i think Alphard has an edge...
