- Three Rows, Five Grades
Sequoia offers space for families who need it - whether that be to haul passengers, gear or both. It will be available in five unique grades that include SR5, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro and the new Capstone grade.
Full details and specs: www.mikescarin...
Sequoia’s grade lineup starts with the well-equipped SR5 that offers a strong foundation of power, efficiency and technology. It touts impressive standard features that include the i-FORCE MAX powertrain that is mated to the standard 10-speed automatic transmission, standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, moonroof, heated seats and more. It also features a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument display and Panoramic View Monitor (PVM). When upgrading to the SR5 Premium package, Sequoia adds the 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia display, power third row, hands-free liftgate, SofTex-trimmed seats, and cabin and cargo 120-volt power outlets.
Also available on SR5 models is the TRD Sport package, which upgrades the standard 18-inch wheels to 20-inch matte black TRD wheels. To complement sporty handling, it adds TRD sport-tuned Bilstein® monotube shocks, TRD-tuned springs, aluminum pedals and a red TRD push-button start.
Limited builds upon the SR5 with an emphasis on added convenience. Not only does it gain a standard 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, but it also adds standard heated/ventilated front seats with memory settings, standard heated steering wheel, power-folding third row and a hands-free power liftgate. Limited also receives standard second- and third-row manual sunshades to help keep the back half of the SUV sun-free.
Available for both SR5 and Limited 4×4 models is the first-for-Sequoia TRD Off-Road package. This package enhances off-road capability with the addition of a selectable locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select that helps controls wheel spin for improved traction, and Downhill Assist Control to aid with steep descents. Crawl Control also comes standard, functioning as an off-road cruise control for low-speed trail navigation in 4WD Low. TRD Off-Road also comes with Multi-Terrain Monitor to provide the driver a better view of hard-to-see spots on the trail. TRD-tuned Bilstein® monotube shock absorbers and TRD-tuned springs are added, and a red front axle driveshaft provides added flair. Inside, aluminum gas/brake pedals are included, and a red TRD push-button start button adds to the performance look and feel. Both SR5 and Limited are outfitted with unique 18-inch alloy wheels unique to the package.
Stepping up to the Platinum grade puts an emphasis on added comfort and premium features, thanks to heated and ventilated front and second-row, second-row captain’s chairs, standard 14-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system, standard panoramic moonroof, standard Head-Up Display and more. High-grade LED headlights and taillights are added, along with sequential turn signals. Rain-sensing wipers are added to Platinum, as is standard Qi wireless charging.
TRD Pro is a great option for adventure-minded families that plan to get off the beaten path regularly. TRD Pro is not just an off-roader though, as it is loaded with premium features such as standard second-row captain’s chairs, TRD heated steering wheel, and TRD accents on the seats and shift knob. TRD-tuned FOX internal bypass shocks offer a smooth on-road ride, but most importantly they can confidently handle off-road terrain when the trail gets rough. A 1/4-inch aluminum TRD front skid plate offers added trail protection. Sequoia TRD Pro also offers additional trail capability with a standard selectable locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, CRAWL Control and Downhill Assist Control. TRD Pro proudly sports a heritage-inspired “TOYOTA” grille with an embedded TRD light bar and marker lights toward the top of the grille. It’s equipped with Pro-specific black 18-inch TRD alloy wheels with an increased offset to provide a wider stance. A dual TRD Pro exhaust tip provides added growl and visual appeal.
The Capstone grade sits atop the Sequoia lineup, building upon the great features of Platinum while adding additional top-shelf features to make it the most luxurious Sequoia to date. Capstone features unique chrome accents to provide an upscale appearance, with the most eye-catching feature being the standard 22-inch chrome wheels - a first for Sequoia and exclusive to Capstone.
The i-FORCE MAX is a cleverly engineered powertrain featuring a unique motor generator within the bell housing between the twin-turbo engine and the 10-speed automatic transmission.
Twin-turbo V6 hybrid i-FORCE MAX powertrain
437 hp, 583 lb.-ft. of Torque
Maximum Towing Capacity of up to 9,520 lbs.

That cargo space is a joke!
This generation is a joke, live axle!
You expected cargo space out of a huge suv? Wow you’re an idiot
That price and have to be wait for 5 years is a joke.

That 3rd row seats is a joke it looks like it's made for kid's 😂🤣💯
YOU ALWAYS DO THE BEST REVIEWS!!!!!!
Just bought one in August of 23, absolutely love it, still finding out how to work some of the tech, no complaints from me
Fantastic video. I’ve yet to see anyone else go into so much great detail. This helped assuage some concerns I had about some features for the Platinum.
While I might prefer an updated 4Runner or maybe even the new Lexus GX (which I’m already on the waiting list for) the Sequoia surprisingly may be a good option.
I test drove one today and liked it a lot more than I expected to. I’ve had two 4Runners before and like a Toyota truck feel. While this is very truck-like as expected, it handles quite well. I took a longish test drive on California highway 1 in Pacifica and was very pleasantly surprised. If they can find me the right Platinum, I may jump on it.
👍👍🇼🇸
Wow man those mirrors really can present themselves as an obstruction. Did not realize how huge they are until watching your video. Maybe it’s just me, but some of the exterior trim pieces on the new Toyotas (Tundra and Sequoia in particular) look a little bit cheap and poor quality. Like the wheel well flares and the pieces on the back and front. Either just cheap, or very poor paint work.
youre telling me.. THIS big burly SUV has the same horn out of the Toyota Yaris 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha lol
So Cool 😍😍
My Dream Car 🥰🥰
But why did they make it smaller than the last generation? That's the only reason why I will stay with the 2 gen. This is like a 2015 tahoe
No space or flat floor, leveling thing in cargo is stupid, surprisingly this car and tundra had many catastrophic engine failures, and many more bad things. Definitely not worth the price. Also thought this will be reliable since it’s Toyota, but I guess not, Toyota is falling off on reliability…
All 2023 Sequoias are hybrid. They all have the i-FORCE MAX powertrain.
Hopefully they will similar reliability to the previous generation 😀
By far the best review ever
My everyday SUV!! Awesome review Mike.
awesome Toyota Sequoia with 437 Hp engine but U did not mention the Volume & Cylinders of engine & gear speeds ? # ❤️ 🇵🇰

For a damn 80k SUV.......Toyota really did a lousy job on the cargo area !!
Mike awesome review please keep it up ))))
75 grand, how do people afford these trucks? I have 2 cars made after 2020, a civic and jetta and I pay about 500 months for each. This truck must be 1200 a month. We make almost 200 a year, I don't get who is buying these...
Imagine thinking in terms of monthly payments. What a meaningless metric without knowing loan length.
Especially in Massa Bidens *horrible* economy 😮
Well some maybe leased & tax right off & used for business…My neighbour sold quite a bit of Land which he inherited & is considering buying one…I’m also sure there are ppl who make more than $200k per year who may buy it as well…Btw what’s it to you who’s able to afford it? It’s not hurting your pockets or affecting your life…is it?
@@penvon it’s just bizarre that in the WORST economy we’ve ever had (shame on Biden) that some people can afford this…. It’s quite fascinating……..
Most people that can afford these cars are not busy spending their time on youtube and commenting.
I think the Gmc yukon denali ultimate looks way better
Great review, but you completely missed the mark with the rear shelf. Lower tier is for more level cargo with the seats pushed forward. Middle tier is for complete cargo capacity with all seats down. Too tier is for easy access from the rear window with the seats in the pushed back position.
Thanks, that makes me understand the intention of the shelf a little better. It could have been designed better in my opinion.
@@MikesCarInfo I’m with you. Love the self idea, but that big of an SUV should have more cargo area
wait are you saying the rear window opens independently of the gate?
30:29
Is pre adjusted button remember mirror position
Toyota is good only for taxi car , not more, no features and very donkey !!!
293 fuel range near full tank. This is higher than my 2022 rav4 trd. On a full tank I get 255 miles
Rav4 has a 14.5 gallon tank and should get 29mpg+. Have you had it checked out at the dealer?
Those 360 birds eye view camera are horrible. They need to be using 2k and 4k camera. Not an old school 1080p which should've all been obsolete. The camera quality need to be fine tune to make it perfect. You can see obstruction with the front camera that could've been fix to remove those spot that are blocking its view. Just looking at all those features I can tell that whoever installed them on did not do a very good job. It just look like they rushed everything and just throw them on and call it a day without really taking the time to make sure that it work perfectly at its best and not just good. That new suv just have way too many red flags in term of quality and technology. The interior just look like a bad design and placement. Would I spend 80 grand for a mediocre look? The answer is hell no! It ain't even worth the asking price tag period. Maybe 45 grand.
Mike can you review a Porsche Macan s or GTS sometime pretty please!!! :)
I wish I had access to one.
Then you will have all of the cargo space that you need
Over an hour video review? My ADHD won’t let me finish this 😂😂😂
Try 2x speed
I love your yellow finger!
Why did they have to put some storage/cup holders between the seats in 2nd row? Should be clear to walk back like the Tahoes
It's quite funny actually. Toyota gave Sequoia irs when most competitors were using live axle.
This vehicle has a solid rear axle though.
@@MikesCarInfo Yeah that's my point. Almost every other competitors had ditched live axles right now, such as GM & Nissan. Yet Toyota brought back live axle on the Sequoia.
Some they prefer if they don't have a enough money to buying fancy truck choose not buying useless
Awesome vid.
Toyota really messed up with this car.
Yeah, they didn't really do well with the new Tundra either in my opinion.
I wish they get rid of the hybrid!!
You have to let the back set down
Beautiful SUV. Wow. Toyota are inspired. 💥💥💥💥💥
Wow. This is a real in-depth video. I almost feel like I own one already.
The fact they had 15 years to make this and there are that many QC issues and ridiculous design flaws makes me wonder how awful the next 4Runner will be
I hope 4Runner will not suffer from poor design. I hope it's designed by a different team.
For the door steps, can i set one side off, another side on and off every time passager open the door?
By far best sequoia review video sir!
BTW. My cap is coming in this week. Don't have kiddos so the 3rd row shall be deleted!
هذا التصميم إثبات لايقبل الشك ان ( السيكويا ) ستبدأ المنافسه الحقيقيه بينها وبين كل من ( التاهو واليوكون والسابيربان )..
That cargo area is a hot mess
The interior is not well sorted.
When they make it a full EV…I might consider it. Oh, I’ll be dead..
Yea and also about 1000 dead Africans to mine for your EV batteries.
More like 10,000…😑
too big suv for me sorry :)
Great video!
How much Sir

I wish I could afford one of those for my wife and kids
hopefully you will get it sir
an off-road minivan😂
Excellent SUV.
NY. ❤$2000
It's surprising how alike this new car is to my first generation Sequoia. There are things that even the older truck does better, like the rear seat origami, 130 cuft of cargo area vs 87 (What!), dual sun shades in the front, actual dome lights front and rear, outward visibility, physically fitting in a parking spot, and not forcing the driver to rely on electronic aids to drive a car. We'll see if this new snail sniffing V6 can last as long as the 4.7L V8. Mine is turning over 350k miles this summer. Good luck!
gorgeous
