2023 Toyota Sequoia Limited: Is This The Redesign Of The Year?

[@roberto-gp2dt]

Beautiful SUV, to bad most people will not be able afford it..

[@RobustArid379]

My 22 bronze edition Highlander does everything the same way in tech, except I do not have a 360-view eye camera, and mine is a hybrid that does 600 miles on a full gas tank. The same interior cloth and material look just like this Sequoia.

[@noahmoore2684]

Man, Toyota really dropped the ball on this one. First Gen Sequoia owner. This looks great on the exterior, a total mess on the interior / cargo area.

[@NickLiang]

It's almost as if they decided to design it as impractical as possible...... for a car which should be prized for its practicality, so weird

[@MrWhiterunGuard]

The SEQUOIA badge is a bit too big for me, plus I think it would look nicer on the chrome handle. This is easily remedied though with a heat gun/blow dryer and aftermarket adhesive parts.

[@mikebas7325]

For not being a Sequoia fan I'd say it's pretty nice. Only thing that stands out to me is how low that front valance is, not much ground clearance. I guess it's because all the SUV makers seem so concerned about making the front ends look so big, probably just my complaint lol.

[@RennieAsh]

I prefer smaller fronts. Then again I'm also not in the market for such a big car :)

[@rjhein]

It's too bad the interior dimensions are smaller than the older Sequoia - and the loss of the full time 4wd mode - I used that constantly in our 2008 Sequoia, and the 3rd row seatroom was cavernous compared to this one... I have one of these new ones on order however likely will not complete on the purchase - it's not much more interior room than our current Lexus LX... But that new powerplant looks pretty enticing!

[@neppcity]

I agree 100%. This vehicle is a head scratcher. It doesn’t really fit most use cases the full size SUV crowd is after aside from towing big trailers. It’s a very niche vehicle IMO. Beautiful but not too practical….

[@sly9263]

agreed- fulltime 4wd is to be expected in body on frame SUVs at this point. They didn't include it to either advertise 1-2 better MPG or plan to release it in the next couple years. Subjectively, this new generation is uglier with the extended front end proportions and dinky headlights- they look smaller in person than on camera. The interior is a big step up but there's quite a few cheap spots, EG armrest + pullout and the seat foundations/plastics are flimsy as hell.

y has the new design been lowered by 2 inches or something, i have 2018 sequoia was going to upgrade but after seeing the middle seats which do not move and the rear seating and not to mention the truck space, (with a 7 passenger vehicle you need trunk space for 7)

[@ked29203]

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

As a 2015 Sequoia Limited owner and a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro owner, it is puzzling to me how both redesigns are smaller than their predecessors. I have gotten into both vehicles while at the local dealership getting oil changes at two different times, and I was surprised by their internal sizes. I don't think my older teenagers could fit in the back seat of the new Sequoia and not hit their heads. Not only that it is not as wide. Parents, for what they are asking you could buy a used previous gen Sequoia and still come out ahead with the worse mpg do to entry cost. I just bought the 2015 Sequoia Limited because my five kids were getting too adult size for the minivan and the Sequoia was the perfect upgrade for us. I only paid $29,400 for one with 71,000'ish miles on it. I would have to put another 200,000 miles on a brand new on to break even with the entry cost vs fuel on the new units. Get used its worth it.

What is the goal of the front bumper lip? I mean I will lose ground clearance so what is the benefit of having a big SUV Some cars have a soft plastic lip that usually is not affected by hitting a curb but some cars have hard plastic like in my Durango which I really hate.

I wouldn't know this was a Sequioa , if I did not look at the badging or nameplate. My only complaints: digital gauge cluster display layout is not customizable and too many lines/angles on the body panel design ; granted these are only personal preferences. I have a 2017.

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

It's really hard to believe how many ways the engineers/designers at Toyota screwed up the cargo area in the new Sequoia. I will be keeping my 4Runner, and loving how simple and how flat that I can make my cargo area. Especially with the rear sliding cargo tray that came standard on my Trail Edition 4Runner. It will be interesting to see how Toyota will manage to screw up the design of the new 4Runner when it finally gets a total redesign.

[@toyotatalkcanada]

I would have loved to see a 5 seater Sequoia

[@michaelrodriguez9275]

Nice looking on the outside, but seems to be lacking on the inside. Disappointing at that price point that the third row can't lay flat into the floor, i'm assuming that load height will be difficult for people who are shorter.

This is a Land Cruiser with a Sequioa badge. Sequoia should be competing with Tahoe/Yukon/expedition etc. This vehicle although highly capable does not fit that market.

I still cannot for the life of me understand why Toyota went from IRS to live axle at the back. It cuts into the rear cargo room so much.

[@joegrahe3958]

May have something to do with creating room for hybrid battery?

[@toyotatalkcanada]

The 2nd and 3rd rows are mostly compromised for the hybrid batteries

[@kaivonmortazavi8656]

I like the exterior looks - Ride quality is no longer great like gen 2 due to solid rear axle since its a truck based suspension platform now…..and interior space behind driver seat is a total compromise (even 2nd row head room is not great). I have a gen 2 with 200K on it - so a big fan of Toyota and have been waiting a long time to get the next generation but given the totally screwed up cargo area with that whole idiotic platform system, the fixed second row seat, the lack of space behind the third row, the very claustrophobic interior and shrinking headroom, a none functioning third row good only for kids for a short ride, no 4 Auto, less cargo space, this Sequoia is a no go for me. I understand the reasoning for all the shortcomings and the screwed up result of the design compromises - but nevertheless, a bad design is a bad design and you cant just market it as “Flexible”. Sorry Toyota, you missed the mark big time. Very disappointing. I am sure that once the hype is over, the sales will lag by a huge margin vs. other competitors sales volumes.

[@davidhouston7812]

If they didn't go to the live axle. Sequoia would have been shelved. Which would have been a double whammy. No land cruiser no Sequoia. 🙅🏿‍♂️ The chief engineer explained all this last year on other KZbin videos.
