The 2022 Toyota Sequoia is a full-size three-row SUV offering rear- or four-wheel drive. Standard features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and automatic emergency braking.
The Sequoia has a powerful 5.7-liter V-8 engine that makes 381 horsepower and is linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel optional.
Fuel economy is rated at 13 mpg city, 17 highway.
With seating for up to eight passengers, the interior roominess and cabin storage are key attributes of this vehicle. It also offers a drop-down liftgate window for convenience.
Other standard amenities include front and rear parking sensors, tri-zone automatic air conditioning, power moonroof, power-adjustable driver's seat, a 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and automatic high-beam headlights.
Optional features available include power liftgate, power-operated third row, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, rear sunshades, navigation and a JBL premium stereo.
The Sequoia starts at around $51,000 and ranges to around $70,000.
Toyota seems to be putting a little extra marketing muscle behind the Sequoia since the Land Cruiser was recently discontinued.
If you're in the market for an SUV with a powerful drivetrain and plenty of interior space, the Sequoia is a fine choice.
But for the 2023 model year, please note that the Sequoia will be offered as a hybrid only. We hope to have a review of that version in the near future.
