Toyota's all-new generation full-size SUV Sequoia, it's coming!
It is not easy, the second generation of Toyota Sequoia since 2008 came out, and now 13 years later, the third generation has finally sprouted and broken new ground. The appearance will be eye-catching at first glance, and there will be no retro elements at all.
If you feel that the previous generation of sequoias has no characteristics, and expect the new generation of sequoias to bring new senses. Toyota designers have long thought of this, they offer three looks for new cars, and there is always one that suits your appetite.
One of the designs is very similar to the new generation of Tantu pickup trucks, the designer adopted a tough crease line treatment, the side of the body front fenders and rear door handles at the dent treatment, so that the overall look has a strong sense of muscle vision, full of power.
The new sequoia and Lexus LX 600 are sibling models on the same platform, both from the Toyota TNGA-F platform architecture, so the engines are shared. But the powertrain on sequoia is more advanced, consisting of a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo hybrid combined with an electric motor to form a hybrid system with a maximum power of 443 hp, a peak torque of 790 Nm, and the book parameters are 28 hp and 140 Nm higher than the 3.5T V6 of the Lexus LX600. If compared with the previous generation of 5.7L V8 large self-priming, the engine performance parameters are improved too much, the old model do not look at the large displacement, but the maximum power is only 386 horsepower, the torque is only 544 Nm. Although the fuel consumption data of this car has not yet been released, it is certain that it will be more fuel-efficient than the old model.
Some people may ask, can this hybrid be energetic? Toyota officials said that the new generation of Sequoia drag quality can reach 9,000 pounds, which is equivalent to nearly 4,100 kilograms, compared with the previous generation, although the engine cylinder is missing by two, but the overall performance has increased by 22%. In addition, the new generation of Sequoia also offers the "Tow Tech Package", which is a must-choose option if you prefer to travel with a motorhome, which greatly enhances drag stability.
Previously, Sequoia had been seen as a compact version of the Toyota Land Cruiser. Nowadays, the new generation of models has gradually narrowed the configuration gap between the "big brother" Land Cruiser and the "big brother" in terms of configuration. In the high-end models, you can also get 22-inch chrome wheels, two-tone black and white semi-aniline leather seats, cut-out walnut interior trim panels, and more.
Now there is news that the new generation of land patrol cars to wait for 4 years, then some people will be the new generation of sequoia as the best flat model of the land patrol, both cars are from the TNGA-F platform, and the price of sequoia is lower than the land patrol, but the status of the land patrol in the hearts of fans can not be replaced. However, since it is really difficult to pick up the car, some people will have to turn their heads and look at the new generation of sequoia.
To fill the off-road attribute gap between the new generation of Sequoia and the new generation of Land Cruiser, Toyota introduced the TRD Pro version in the new generation of Sequoia, which is equipped with FOX shock absorbers, front sand shields, Toyota all-terrain feedback system, Toyota creep mode, and a large number of TRD logos inside and outside.
If you think the package is slightly more expensive, Toyota also offers a TRD Lite option that includes a Besten shock absorber, 18-inch wheels, all-terrain mode, and creep mode.
If you think the price of this optional bag is still high, OK, Toyota also has a TRD appearance kit for you to choose from, including TRD appearance kit, 20-inch wheels, TRD exclusive tuning shock absorber, aluminum foot pedals and so on. However, this version does not have four wheel drives.
The new generation of Toyota has also greatly strengthened the active safety configuration of Sequoia, and the new car is equipped with AEB active braking, adaptive cruise system, front collision warning, lane departure warning, adaptive near and far light, blind spot monitoring, reversing side warning, etc.
The new generation of Sequoia interior is full of technology, the center console uses a 14-inch giant touch screen, and the driver has upgraded the full LCD digital instrument in front of him. The old interior is really too old and too earthy, after all, the previous generation of Sequoia interior was designed in 2007.
