In addition, the base variant will get a moonroof, heated seats, a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument display, and a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM).

    limited-variant

    Meanwhile, the Limited variant builds upon the SR5 with an emphasis on added convenience. That said, its features lean more towards providing the driver and the passengers with better ride comfort with amenities like the standard 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, standard heated/ventilated front seats with memory settings, standard heated steering wheel, power-folding third row, and a hands-free power liftgate.

    The Limited grade also receives standard second- and third-row manual sunshades.

    platinum-variant

    Platinum variants of the 2023 Toyota Sequoia boast a few more premium elements for its occupants. From the outside, would-be owners can expect things like high-grade LED headlights, taillights, and sequential turn signals; rain-sensing wipers; and a set of 20-inch black alloy wheels. Its cabin offers heated and ventilated front and second-row captain seats, standard 14-speaker JBL Premium Audio system, standard panoramic moonroof, standard Head-Up Display, and Qi wireless charging.

    trd-variant

    TRD Pro is a great option for adventure-minded families whose weekly itinerary includes going off the beaten path. Focused on providing owners with premium off-roading experience, the TRD Pro variant gets a TRD roof rack, TRD-tuned Fox internal bypass shocks, a 1/4-inch aluminum TRD front skid plate, dual TRD Pro exhaust tips, and Pro-specific black 18-inch TRD alloy wheels.

    Inside, customers will find premium features such as standard second-row captain’s chairs, TRD heated steering wheel, and TRD accents on the seats and shift knob.

    capstone-variant

    Finally, the range-topping Capstone variant looks to become the most luxurious and capable Sequoia to date. The Capstone grade builds upon the Platinum variant and adds a suite of top-shelf features including a slew of exterior chrome accents and a set of 22-inch chrome wheels.

    The interior of the premium full-size SUV features power running boards, standard semi-aniline leather-trimmed seats, authentic American Walnut accentuated center console and passenger-side dash, and front-door acoustic glass.

    All 2023 Toyota Sequoia variants share the same i-Force Max 3.5-liter V6 hybrid powertrain mated to a 10-speed automatic gearbox. This setup allows the SUV to make 437 horses and around 790Nm of torque.

    The 2023 Toyota Sequoia will be built in the US at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing in San Antonio, Texas. It is expected to go on sale in the US late this summer (from August to September). It will have a starting price of US$58,300.

    “We are excited to write the next chapter in our truck family story with the all-new 2023 Sequoia. A three-row SUV must be excellent at many things to succeed in this highly competitive market, and we’ve got that with Sequoia. Our customers will have room for their whole crew, the technology they want to stay connected, and the heavy-duty power and efficiency they need for both on and off-road,” said Toyota Vehicle Marketing Team General Manager Joe Moses.
