As Toyota's largest SUV and a full-size SUV positioned above the Land Cruiser, Sequoia is about to usher in the third generation of models, and the new car will be released at 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time on January 25 (10:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 26). Since the third-generation Toyota Tantu and the new Land Cruiser are also built from the Toyota TNGA-F platform, combined with the previous Toyota official release of the trailer, overseas media have already drawn a new generation of Sequoia renderings.
Judging from the renderings, the new car will have a similar front design to Tantu, while founder's hardcore body shape is similar to land cruiser. However, according to the latest exposed spy photo, the details of the front face of the new car have been adjusted, and the hexagonal grille has a sense of déjà vu of RAV4, and the interior is covered with a honeycomb-like silver grid, and the texture is significantly improved. The headlights on both sides still use a three-split design, tough and not lack of technological atmosphere, and the front surround embellished with silver decorative panels below makes the front face look more layered.
The body side design and the previously exposed rendering drawing are basically the same, the square shape creates a burly image, and the concave segmented waist line with the extended wheel arch design is very powerful. The D-pillar position, door handles and chrome embellishments at the side skirts are complemented by six-spoke glossy wheels for luxury. The internal light source of the blackened three-dimensional taillights echoes the headlights, and is penetrated by chrome trim strips, with the English logo of "SEQUOIA", which further enhances the sense of grade of the whole vehicle.
The interior has not yet been exposed, but the same as the TNGA architecture GA-F platform products, it is expected that the new generation of Sequoia will refer to the interior design of Tantu, including four-spoke multi-function steering wheel, large-size suspension central control screen and other configurations, the overall rough no lack of scientific and technological atmosphere, I believe that such as the latest car engine system, TSS security system, etc. will not be absent, intelligent aspects will be improved. The body size is expected to be further increased, with reference to the current length, width and height of 5210*2030*1955mm, and wheelbase of 3100mm.
As for the probability of power, it will also be consistent with the Land Patrol and The Tantu, and provide two power forms: fuel version and hybrid version. The fuel version is equipped with a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine with a maximum power of 394 hp and a peak torque of 649 Nm. The hybrid version is equipped with an i-Force Max hybrid system consisting of a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine and an electric motor, which has a combined power of 444 hp and a peak torque of 790 Nm. The non-load-bearing body design combined with the four-wheel drive system also provides sufficient protection for off-road.
On the whole, Toyota Sequoia under the new architecture will still be the majestic giant, and will surpass the new Land Cruiser to regain the status of Toyota's flagship SUV. More information about the new car has yet to be officially released, and we will continue to pay attention to the report. As for whether it can be introduced into the country in the future, there is no news, but I believe that parallel import car dealers should be very interested in this. Previously, the second generation of sequoia had been introduced into the domestic market through parallel import channels, priced at 900,000 yuan. So, what do you think about Toyota's new generation of Sequoia, welcome to leave a comment.
