On January 26, Beijing time, the new generation of Toyota red shirts was officially released. You know, the current Toyota Sequoia has been launched as early as 2007, such a long service period has made it exhausted in the face of many new era competitors, and in 2022, the new generation of models has finally arrived. Based on the Toyota TNGA-F platform, the new car is positioned as a full-size large SUV, with a new interior and exterior design, and is available in five configurations. It is reported that the new car will be officially listed in overseas markets this summer.
In terms of appearance, the new car basically continues the design style of the new generation of Toyota Tantu, especially the large polygonal grille and the thick T-shaped headlight design is basically consistent with the Tantu model. However, the new car does not adopt a smooth through design under the grille, and the bumper shape will appear more layered. In addition, the new car will also be available in the TRD version of the kit version, which will have a special honeycomb grille, and the lower skid plate of the front of the car will also be blackened, making the sporty atmosphere more intense.
As a full-size SUV, the new car has an unsurprisingly boxy side shape, a burly body domineering, and the hidden A/B/C pillar design and the same color as the body's wheel eyebrows also enhance the visual sophistication. The new car is designed with sharp polylines above the front and rear wheels, and is equipped with 20-inch double five-spoke wheels, which has a strong sense of momentum. In addition, depending on the model, the wheel rim shape and the color of the wheel brow of the new car will also be adjusted.
In terms of the rear, the new car still uses a lot of straight lines, the relatively flat taillights are designed with folding angles on the outside, and are decorated with chrome trim in the center, while the silver skid plate at the bottom also echoes the front of the car. The overall rear design is simple and calm, which is very consistent with the overall aura.
The interior design of the new car is also very similar to the new Tantu, equipped with a full LCD instrument and a suspended 14-inch central control screen, and the interior design of the car has a strong sense of luxury while taking into account practicality. The new car will offer a 7-seat seat layout with excellent seating and storage space. In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with Toyota Safey Sense active safety system as standard, and will provide configurations such as seat heating, sunroof and 360-degree panoramic imaging system.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with the i-Force Max hybrid system, which consists of a 3.4T twin-turbo V6 engine and a P2 motor, with a combined maximum power of 444 hp and a peak torque of 790 Nm, matching a 10-speed manual transmission and providing an optional four-wheel drive system.
