Not What it is Hyped Up to Be

2023 Toyota Sequoia Capstone 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 10A)

We needed a full size SUV to pull a travel trailer. Finding the new Toyota Sequoia to test drive proved impossible, but we found one we could sit in. That did it. We found all of the problems others have mentioned about lack of cargo space. But for us, the clincher was sitting in the drivers's seat with the door closed. Neither of us was comfortable seeing out! It felt like sitting in a hole and craning to see the road. We are both medium height and build, and yes, we each adjusted the seat. That and the fact that there is zero space in the back for any cargo made this an easy choice to abandon. We would never be able to carry our kayaking gear, or any additional camping gear. Luggage, even groceries would be a problem. Plus folding down the 2nd row seats gives very little additional room. There are very few vehicles that meet our criteria. We had looked at the Lincoln Navigator and the Infiniti QX-80 but really needed to try out the new Toyota Sequoia as well. After calling several dealerships and driving all over southeastern Louisiana, we could not find anything to drive. Everyone one wanted $$ to hold "the next one" for us. Finally we found one that was reserved for someone else, but the dealership let us sit inside the car. Thank goodness! Just sitting in the driver's seat proved this to be a bad choice. We are enjoying our new Infiniti QX-80 (though not the gas mileage) and pulling our new travel trailer. Between bad gas mileage and safe driving ability, safety wins!

What a Disaster

2023 Toyota Sequoia TRD PRO 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 10A)

After waiting years for the new model, I placed an order and paid a $1000 deposit sight unseen. After a few months I was finally able to see one in person and the cargo area is a mess, the primary reason I need a full-size SUV. The interior feels cheap, and apparently the gas milage is atrocious. I had to cancel the order and start over with my car search.

I waited for this?

Front seats are the least comfortable I have experienced, will have to get extra cushion for long drives. A/C must be turned EACH time car is started and if you want blower on high you also must turn on auto a/c and then turn ac on again. My 3/4 ton pickup gets better fuel mileage. Had to get front windows and sunroof ceramic coated for car to stay cool enough. Fake exhaust noise thru audio speakers is uncalled for. Rear seat arm rest FELL OFF first month. Ordered and waited 8 months for this.

Solid performance - more battery please!

For a vehicle this size and weight the performance is great. The intermittent hybrid works seamless and would benefit from more battery to allow for more use in the city driving. Don't be fooled there is plenty of horsepower and acceleration when you want it or need it... but if you are more gentle with the throttle then you can really maximize the mileage and exceed the ratings given expectably in the city driving situation. Highway the hybrid doesn't seem to add much to the mileage but the V6 still provides about 22mpg on highway... much more than the older V8. Reliability is still TBD and after seeing the recall on the Tundra V6 (not hybrid) will make me more cautious of any signs this Sequoia exhibits and I will bring to dealer immediately.

cargo space unusable.

I like everything about this but the cargo space is a deal breaker. It rode great and the motor is strong enough to easily pull my 5000 pound boat. I had a Tundra and have been a loyal Toyota fan for years. However, I needed something with a shorter wheelbase and this seemed to be the ticket. However, once I looked in the cargo area I just couldn't do it. It would be completely unusable for a road trip or to try to move anything of any size. We ended up with the GMC Yukon XL. I am only writing this because I want to come back to toyota. I hope they will build a Sequoia that is similar to what the new Tundra offers. Two motors, one without the battery. If they were to do that and give us the ability to remove the 3rd row seats, I think they would have a winner
