On January 25, Toyota's full-size SUV Sequoia ushered in its third generation. Like the Tantu and Lexus LX, the new car was born on the Toyota TNGA-F platform. Toyota says it will be a stylish and reliable SUV that can accompany you silently in the city while also towing a motorhome and taking you further afield.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car is very similar to the Tantu, with a huge grille and two T-shaped headlights. The A-pillar is blackened, the straight waist line runs through the body, and the tough wheel eyebrows visually highlight the muscularity.
If you're unhappy with the lack of sportiness in the look of the standard model, Toyota has also introduced the TRD Sportsuit option. Includes 20-inch matte black rims, Bilstein shock absorbers and TRD springs.
There is also a TRD Off-Road kit that includes the TRD division's repriced shock absorbers and rear axle differential lock, 18-inch alloy wheels, red drive shaft, and aluminum pedals and red start buttons.
For car owners with mild off-road needs, Toyota also offers A TRD off-road kits to choose from. Including downhill auxiliary control, multi-terrain selection system, 360 ring shadow, Confucian mode and so on.
Of course, the TRD Pro version takes off-road performance to a higher level. In addition to the rear lock, multi-terrain mode, rux control and downhill assist, it also comes with a more powerful FOX shock absorber. In terms of appearance, the 18-inch alloy wheels were retained and equipped with roof racks, dual exhaust pipes and other configurations.
In terms of interior, the new car has been equipped with a more stylish design style. Includes standard 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, 8-inch central control screen, mood light and other configurations. In terms of configuration, it has intelligent voice assistants, cloud navigation and other functions. In terms of comfort, it is equipped with steering wheel heating, first and second row seat ventilation/heating, panoramic sunroof, second row multimedia screen and other configurations.
In terms of safety, the new car is equipped with toyota TSS 2.5 driver assistance system as standard. It has functions such as pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle pre-collision warning, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure warning, road sign assistance, blind spot monitoring and so on. In addition, the new car uses laser welding technology, and the overall rigidity and ride comfort have been improved.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a hybrid system based on a 3.5T V6 engine, matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and has a maximum power of 326 kW / 443 hp / 790 Nm. Compared with the old 5.7-liter V8, it is not inferior even to many rival models.
