This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia, full-size, body-on-frame SUV. Bold and stylish the new Toyota Sequoia has great road presence! With its off-road capability, robust performance, spacious interior with seating for up to 8-passengers, the Sequoia is definitely one to consider. The new Toyota Sequoia has a 3.5L twin turbo V6 hybrid with Toyota’s hybrid synergy drive, a 10-speed automatic transmission, a combined 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, standard part time 4WD in Canada, standard RWD in the US. This SUV is all new from the ground up, it offers 8.7” of ground clearance and has standard LED headlights, LED taillights, LED fog lights, power folding exterior mirrors, 18” TRD off road wheels, available 20” and 22” alloy wheels, and a full-size spare tire. The new Toyota Sequoia comes with some nice standard features including, an 8” touchscreen, available 14” touchscreen, a 12.3” digital driver display, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, an 8-speaker audio system, available JBL, 8-way power adjustable front seats, heated front seats, SoftTex upholstery, heated steering wheel, moonroof, available panoramic sunroof, power rear door with kick sensor. For such a large vehicle, the 8” touchscreen is quite small considering the starting price point of over $79,000 CAD/$58,000 USD. In the US, some of these features are not standard including, a heated steering wheel, SofTex upholstery and a power rear door with kick sensor.
There are plenty of trims to choose from, here’s a breakdown of the pricing:
In Canada, TRD Off Road starts at $79,095 CAD, Limited $81,595 CAD, Platinum $92,095 CAD and Capstone $95,095 CAD.
In the US, SR5 $58,365 USD, Limited $64,765 USD, Platinum $70,965 USD
TRD Pro $76,065 USD and Capstone $75,365 USD.
Fuel economy isn’t really impressive for a hybrid but you are moving around a large vehicle, it gets 12.6L/100 km, 21 MPG city and 10.5L/100 km, 24 MPG highway. In comparison, the Chevrolet Tahoe diesel gets 12L/100 km, 20 MPG city and 8.9L/100 km, 26 MPG highway. Although, it can’t tow as much as the Sequoia, 8400 pounds compared to the Toyota at over 9,000 pounds, the fuel economy is better especially on the highway.
