If Toyota's flagship SUV is a "Land Cruiser", it may be true, but as a flagship model, it is not the largest SUV under the brand, after all, there is a "Sequoia" in the North American market that is larger than the "Land Cruiser".
Recently, Toyota officially released the trailer of the largest SUV model under the brand, and the new car will be unveiled as the third generation model.
In view of the fact that the official release of Sequoia's new car trailer is very limited, it can only be seen that the new car adopts a more square body design, which is more regular than the current model, and it is more modern to the design, including from the previous new car spy photos can also be seen that a lot of vertical design is used.
Specifically, the new car lines are more straight and tough, in addition to the rear window through the design, but also added chrome decoration, further enhance the sense of class of the model. In addition, the tail light group is adjusted to be more slender, and the sense of technology has also been significantly improved.
Although there is only one trailer for the new car at present, it is understood that the new car is based on the new Tundra pickup truck and the same platform, so it can refer to the released Toyota Tantu model, and it is expected that there will be many similarities.
Referring to the current Sequoia Sport Edition, its length, width and height are 5210 * 2030 * 1955 mm, the wheelbase has reached 3.1 meters, and the dimensional parameters have fully exceeded the Land Cruze.
Given that the car is a model built for the North American market, the new car is not only in terms of appearance, but also has an American style in its interior.
Referring to the interior of the new Toyota Tantu, the new car maintains the relatively simple design of the new Toyota family, only adjusting the central control screen to suspension, and adjusting the larger size, after all, Tantu and Sequoia are more oriented to the home market in the North American market.
Considering that the current Sequoia and the new Tantu are all non-load-bearing body, it is expected that the new Sequoia will also be built on the same TNGA-F platform as the new Land Cruiser LC300, and there will be many upgrades in terms of body and suspension.
In terms of power of the new car, we can refer to the new Tantu, which will provide two sets of power combinations. Among them, the pure fuel version is a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine, with a 10AT transmission, which can output 290 kilowatts and 650 Nm of power, which is stronger than the old 5.7L V8 engine.
At the same time, it is also equipped with the hybrid system of i-FORCE MAX, and the new car has added an electric motor that provides auxiliary drive, which can output up to 326 kilowatts and 790 Nm of power, and provides a four-wheel drive system.
The reason why Sequoia can become a model for the North American market is also because Toyota Sequoia has a lot of competitors in North America.
Ford Conqueror
Chevrolet Suburban
GMC YUKON
In fact, Toyota Sequoia has also appeared in the domestic market, but it can only be introduced through parallel imports, after all, this is only a full-size SUV positioning that is hot in the North American market.
According to the data, the first generation of Toyota Sequoia debuted in 2000, so far only two generations of models have been launched, and the second generation of models was born in 2007, which means that the current model has not been replaced for 15 years since its launch.
