In the automobile market in recent years, domestic consumers have increasingly discussed "special" models. These special models, especially those for the Chinese and U.S. markets, usually differ in terms of configuration, technical content, and**. Toyota, as a world-renowned Japanese automaker, is particularly eye-catching in its "American-special" models in the U.S. market, not only leading in technology and configuration, but also showing significant advantages in terms of technology.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that when the domestic market ushered in a new generation of Toyota Prado reservations, many people may not realize that there is also a "large Prado" in front of it - Toyota Sequoia. The car is based on the TNGA-F platform, a shared non-load-bearing body structure platform for hardcore off-road vehicles and hardcore pickup models, and it is also the technical basis for the all-new Tantu, the all-new Land Cruiser and the all-new Lexus LX.
Although Toyota Sequoia has not officially entered the domestic market and can only be purchased through parallel imports, its presence cannot be ignored. Take the Toyota Sequoia SEQUOIA TRD version as an example, its price is as high as 1.39 million yuan, becoming the flagship model in the Toyota SUV series, even in front of the luxurious Lexus LX600, the Sequoia Sequoia is more massive and domineering.
From the perspective of exterior design, Toyota Sequoia adopts a front grille decorated with honeycomb metal and a unique boomerang-style LED special-shaped design daytime running lights, although there are not many design elements, but the huge volume and functional considerations of the vehicle make it have a very strong visual identity.
In terms of interior, the all-new Toyota Sequoia adopts a 2+2+3 7-seat layout, focusing on a large number of flat straight line design, and the sense of space is very sufficient. The car is equipped with a 14-inch central control screen, a full LCD instrument cluster, and retains a large number of physical buttons. In addition, the Toyota Safety Sense 2 comes as standard5 Driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane following and steering assistance, road sign recognition, and autonomous driving functions, further enhance driving safety and convenience.
In terms of powertrain, the all-new Sequoia is equipped with Toyota's latest i-Force Max hybrid system, which consists of a 3The 5T twin-turbo V6 engine, electric motor and battery pack are composed of, equipped with 1The 5kWh NiMH battery pack can provide electric power, even for pure electric driving at up to 30 km h. The system has a maximum power of 444 horsepower and a peak torque of 790 Nm, and is mated to a 10-speed automatic manual transmission, showing strong power performance.
As a model focusing on off-road, Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro is equipped with a four-wheel drive system as standard, although it is not well-known in the domestic market, but as a large hard-core off-road model under Toyota, its strength should not be underestimated. What's more worth mentioning is that the Toyota Sequoia has huge modification potential, even if the original hard off-road performance is already very strong, but for owners who pursue higher off-road performance, there is still more in-depth modification space.
Overall, the Toyota Sequoia has demonstrated its status as the flagship model of Toyota SUVs in terms of its large body, powerful power performance, luxurious interior configuration and excellent off-road ability. While the presence of parallel imports in the domestic market may limit its popularity, the Toyota Sequoia is undoubtedly an option worth considering for those who are looking for the ultimate off-road experience and pursue a top-of-the-line SUV at all costs.
