2023 Toyota Sequoia Capstone

Fifteen years: That’s how long the second-generation Toyota Sequoia had been on the market. Aside from a small refresh in 2017, . Until now. Toyota has redesigned the Sequoia for 2023 to bring it more in line with the 21st century.

The design is all-new but familiar. Everything we’ve seen on the is here, right down to that big-ass front grille (it does look slightly smaller here).

The big news is the nod towards efficiency. As big as Toyota has been in promoting hybrid tech and fuel efficiency, the Sequoia has never been that... efficient. The last gen made do with a 5.7-liter V8 that was shared with the Tundra and got . The new Sequoia still shares an engine with the Tundra. But in a surprising move, Toyota has given it the efficient option: the twin-turbo i-Force Max Hybrid setup is the only engine option. With a 10-speed automatic, it makes 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. Toyota says the engine is capable of electric-only operation at speeds up to 18 mph.

The suspension has also been modernized, with a multi-link rear suspension replacing the setup from before.

Sequoia TRD Pro

TRD goodies will be available in the form of either the TRD Pro trim, which sees things like a front skid plate, light bar, and FOX bypass shocks or TRD packages available on the base SR5 and Limited trims. Buyers will be able to choose either TRD Sport or TRD Off-Road packs. The Sport is more of an appearance package while the off-road package comes with things like a locking differential, crawl control, and a multi-terrain select system.
