For many years now, the Japanese car company Toyota has been the world leader in quality of their vehicles and the number of vehicles produced, leaving behind its two main market competitors, the American concern General Motors and the German Volkswagen Group. Toyota Sequoia, as the largest SUV from this carmaker, was firstly launched in 2000 and almost no changes were made on it until the upcoming edition of 2017.

2017 Toyota Sequoia Price

The price for the new Toyota Sequoia 2017 will vary depending on the trim. For example the price for Sequoia SR5 will be around $45,000 and the most expensive will be the Toyota Sequoia Platinum with the price around $65,000.

Release Date

Although the vehicle is ready for massive production it hasn’t had its official showcase yet. That will probably happen to one of the upcoming car shows, when the car will also become available for sale.

Exterior of Toyota Sequoia 2017

Long expected, new Toyota Sequoia design will include a brand new sleek design, with elegantly adorned front fascia featuring sport LED headlights, vast air entry, and recognizable chrome Toyota logo. The platform will be entirely new, made of stronger and but lighter materials, aiming to shed the car’s weight and lower the fuel consumption.

The sides of the vehicle will be decorated with large alloy wheels and simple lines, which extend to the rear of the vehicle. Toyota Sequoia will be available in three trim levels: the best of Platinum, Limited trim level and followed by basic SR5.

Toyota Sequoia Interior

There is no visual of the interior changes, but layout of the 2015 Sequoia model can give some guidelines of how it will look in the inside. The vehicle will be equipped with two rows of seats, apart from the front seats. The dual zone air condition system control allows second row to adjust the temperature independently from front seats.

Each row is put up in a way to provide enough leg and head room for comfortable ride. Redesign of the control panel for the driver and front passenger, with lots of electronics and tools is expected. As before, it will be possible to choose the interior color and material, with two usual combinations- sand beige and graphite.

Engine

Toyota Sequoia redesign will be available with 2 different engines. First, the V8 engine has a capacity of 4.7 liters. This engine will develop power of 282 hp. Another engine has a displacement of 5.7 liters and an output of 381 hp.

Both engines are coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Speaking of towing capacity, assumptions are that it will still be about 7,400 lbs. It is still unknown whether Toyota will produce a hybrid version of Sequoia.
