Like previous models, this third-generation Sequoia is heavily based on the Tundra pickup truck, so the design language is similar. That's fine by us, as the new Tundra looks properly aggressive. The massive front grille changes depending on the trim level, with the flagship Capstone trim [pictured below] getting a blinged-out honeycomb pattern and lots of chrome elements. With massive two-tone 22-inch wheels, the Capstone exudes luxury and excess, bordering on Lexus levels. Buyers who want a more macho Sequoia can opt for one of the lower trims with either the TRD Sport or TRD Off-Road Packages, which give the SUV a darker, imposing vibe.
If you spend every weekend taking the family on an outdoor adventure, the Sequoia TRD Pro supplies the most aggressive styling with a Heritage-inspired "TOYOTA" grille, embedded TRD light bar, marker lights, black 18-inch TRD wheels, and a roof rack. In our opinion, the Sequoia TRD Pro is the most impressive model visually.
That
being said, some of the lower trims still look fantastic in TRD Sport guise. Toyota's color palette contains some great options, including White, Wind Chill Pearl, Celestial Silver, Lunar Rock, Magnetic Gray, Blueprint, Army Green, Midnight Black, Smoked Mesquite, Supersonic Red, and the TRD-exclusive Solar Octane.

By automotive standards, the 2nd-generation Toyota Sequoia full-size SUV is ancient. It was first introduced back in 2007. To keep up with the SUV competition, the Sequoia needed an overhaul — and it finally got one.
The Toyota Sequoia has a complete redesign for the 2023 model year, as the SUV enters its 3rd generation. It’s a welcome change, for the 2023 Sequoia incorporates many of the favorable elements of the redesigned 2022 Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck.

Also, the 2023 Sequoia costs more than the 2022 Sequoia, which has a starting base
price of $50,500 MSRP. All 2023 Sequoia models feature an iForce MAX hybrid system. Combining power from a twin-turbo V-6 engine and an electric motor, it generates 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid system is mated to a 10-speed
automatic transmission. Do you have towing needs? The maximum towing capacity of the 2023 Sequoia is 9,000 pounds. Also, for efficiency, the Sequoia gets an estimated gas mileage of up to 21 city/24 highway mpg. The redesigned 2023 Sequoia will ride on the Toyota TNGA-F platform.

luxury SUVs. The Sequoia will also offer rear air springs and adaptive dampers. For the off-road capable TRD Pro trim, the Sequoia features 2.5-inch Fox dampers and 33-inch Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires. When will the 2023 Toyota Sequoia be available?
