Powertrain
The Sequoia’s powertrain has gone hybrid with the pairing of an electric motor and a 3.4L twin-turbo V6. Together, these components produce a total of 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque: good for a towing capacity of up to 9,520 pounds. An electronically controlled 10-speed transmission intelligently delivers power to the drive wheels and features uphill/downhill shift logic. Acceleration is exceptionally quick, with a 0 to 60 time of less than six seconds.
Despite such impressive performance, the Sequoia manages to achieve an EPA fuel economy rating of up to 24 MPG highway.
Off-Road Capability
Every Sequoia trim is available with Toyota’s rugged 4Demand part-time 4WD system, which is complemented by a two-speed transfer case and an automatic limited-slip differential for improved control over slippery surfaces. The vehicle’s independent double-wishbone front suspension and coil-spring multi-link rear suspension boasts excellent articulation, enabling it to crawl through rocky trails with greater ease.
Buyers can choose to enhance the Sequoia’s suspension with TRD sport-tuning and extra-tough Bilstein shocks. Available Multi-Terrain Select comes with five modes that help the SUV adapt to a variety of environments.
Passenger Cabin
Inside the Sequoia’s cavernous interior is comfortable seating for seven or eight occupants with the option to trade out the second-row bench for captain’s chairs. While 1st- and 2nd-row passengers get around 40 inches of legroom, those in the 3rd row still have room to stretch out with up to 33.7 inches. Both back rows can recline or fold down to provide up to 86.9 cubic feet of cargo space. An available panoramic moonroof lets in more sunshine and fresh air.
Along with standard tri-zone climate control and an 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, the cabin offers heated front and rear seats, a heads-up display, and a wireless charging station. Capstone models transform the Sequoia into a truly luxurious ride with its semi-aniline leather upholstery and rich walnut trim.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Most models are equipped with a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and support for SiriusXM satellite radio. The display can even switch to the available Multi-Terrain Monitor that allows you to better view your surroundings. An available JBL premium audio system delivers booming sound from its 14 speakers and subwoofer.
Toyota’s Connected Services offer cloud-based navigation, AT&T mobile Wi-Fi, and enhanced roadside assistance.
With its amazing versatility and feature-rich cabin, the Sequoia remains a top choice for those looking for the ideal family vehicle. Visit New Rochelle Toyota today and check it out for yourself!
