Toyota begins the production of the next-generation Sequoia SUV

Toyota has begun the mass production of the third-generation Toyota Sequoia SUV, which is now produced at a plant in Texas on the same line as the Tundra pickup truck. The cost of new items in the United States ranges from 59.8 thousand to 79.8 thousand dollars for the top all-wheel drive Toyota Sequoia Capstone 4x4, writes Motor.ru portal.

Recall that the “third” Toyota Sequoia debuted in early 2022. The frame SUV shares a platform not only with the Tundra pickup truck, but also with the Toyota Land Cruiser 300. The model is presented in the USA with an uncontested i-Force Max hybrid installation, which consists of a 3.5-liter V6 turbo engine and an electric motor built into the 10-range " automatic" transmission. The combined output of the system is the same as that of the Tundra: 443 hp and 790 Nm of torque.

Fuel efficiency has become a competitive advantage of the new Sequoia: per 100 km of run in the combined cycle, a full-size rear-wheel drive SUV consumes 10.7 liters of fuel. For comparison, the predecessor of the 2007 model spent 15.7 liters of gasoline.
