2023 Toyota Sequoia: All You Need To Know

April 2, 2022 Steve Jones

Based on the basis, the Toyota Sequoia has always been a full-size, three-row SUV. This will not alter with the arrival of the new generation for the 2023 model year. The new Sequoia is significantly more contemporary than the second-generation model it replaces, which has been on the market for more than a decade.

The hybrid powertrain, which combines a 3.4-liter V-6 engine with an electric motor for a total of 437 horsepower, is standard on the 2018 Sequoia. It has a huge touchscreen with the most up-to-date software on board, as well as a roomy cabin with seats for up to eight passengers.

Toyota Sequoia Performance

The Sequoia comes equipped with a hybrid engine as standard. A twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6 engine and an electric motor combine to create a total of 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. The Sequoia SUV is also equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive available on most models—and standard on the TRD Pro variant for off-roading. Off-road features include improved shocks, a front skid plate, a locking rear differential, and distinctive 18-inch wheels on the TRD Pro.

Interior

The inside of the Sequoia remains vast and roomy in this current version, with the third row of seats as standard equipment. Optional second-row captain’s chairs reduce the number of seats to seven. A second-row bench with an eight-passenger capacity is standard. The inside decorations range from fabric to leather upholstery and increasing amounts of wood and chrome trim as you move up the pricing ladder, with a vast selection of trim levels available. Heated and cooled second-row seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium sound system are available on higher model levels.

Fuel Economy

The Sequoia’s fuel economy has yet to be released by the EPA. But, the Sequoia nonhybrid will be significantly more fuel-efficient than the hybrid, which is rated at up to 20 mpg combined.
