Big let-down

I have owned 5 Sequoias and my current is a 2018. I can only keep a vehicle for 5 years for my work to pay auto allowance. I decided check out the new Sequoia. Are you kidding me? The price went up and interior room went down. It is noisier and feels underpowered compared to my 2018. This is really a major screw up Toyota.

Great SUV

I think people are being way too critical of this sequoia, it’s got great power, drives fantastic, and looks great. Now I don’t haul a ton of stuff but the trunk area is fine to carry what I need. I bought the Toyota for its long term reliability. I really love my Toyota. 4/4/24, I am updating this review, still love it and I am getting 20.1MPG as average, no issues since I bought it.

2 years of excitement. 5 months of disappointment

I was so excited when I saw the leaked photos of the sequoia back in 2021 and then all of the hype it was getting all the reviews about how great it is and how capable it is. Unfortunately when I finally found one for sale in Idaho and traded in my Audi q7 for it I immediately realized that was a HUGE mistake. Interior is flimsy. EVERYTHING is made of cheap plastic. The seats were so uncomfortable and had weird pressure points on my sit bones. It feels really uncomfortable to drive and almost feels like it’s unstable in the rear. All the power that you get makes the rear end want to kick out especially when changing lanes, so be careful. The storage space is a known nightmare. I thought I could just work with it, but it’s so pointless. A vehicle costing 70k should have been better thought out. The big clunky tow mirrors are hideous, and have blind spots galore!! Even with the smaller convex mirror it’s hard to see when people are right behind/ along the driver side vision. The 4x4 is okay, no locking diff so how stuck can you actually get? Pretty stuck in anything more than 6”. There is a total lack of support for this vehicle. Most things are on back order. I had to wait 3 months for a new windshield after a rock left two huge chips on the original. I think the only thing this vehicle has going for it is that it is powerful. But what is there to do with all this power if the rest of the vehicle is total garbage? The sound is terrible, and there is so much chrome it would make my grandparents throw up!! I just traded my sequoia in and would have a hard time ever considering a Toyota in the future because of it. If this vehicle was prices at $45k then it might be worth it, but not at a whopping 70. That’s just insanity and greed for such crap.

It gets attention

I have a 2023 Toyota Sequoia platinum edition. There’s a lot more cons than I thought there should be for a vehicle that cost this much. Obviously one of the major cons is the price I don’t think it’s worth the 90,000 I paid for it also, I think there should be certain conditions that need to be met to be classified as a hybrid the main one getting at least 30 miles to the gallon. I get around 15 the whole reason I bought a new Sequoia, instead of keeping my old one was I wanted better gas mileage but I didn’t get it. Also, the second row seats should be able to slide forward and backwards. They are so far back that the third row seat is pretty cramped. If they could be slid forward a little bit it would make much more room for the third row when the second road doesn’t need so much room. Also, if you’re using the third row, don’t expect to take anything with you. There is no luggage or cargo space if the third row is up. I liked the back cargo area of the older sequoia much better than this new one. The old ones had a completely flat rear when the third row was down. This one is very inconvenient with the seats sticking up out of the floor making multiple levels for groceries and things to fall over. I’ve also had a few glitches with the engine specifically, the hybrid side I have pushed on the gas before from a stop for it not to move and had to let off and try again. When you’re in the middle of an intersection trying to make a left-hand turn, this can be a little nerve-racking if there’s other cars coming and your car is not moving. A lot of other newer vehicles have apps that you can start and control your vehicle with so does the sequoia. However you have to pay $15 a month to use it with the sequoia, other brands have it for free. On top of the already outrageous price of these I think that that is unacceptable. But on the pros, I like driving it the camera system the adaptive cruise control and smooth drive All very nice. It also gets more attention than any other vehicle I’ve ever driven, including sports cars. I’m amazed how many people come up and ask me about it. And the only reason I haven’t traded it in is because of the amazing towing on it. If I traded it in, I’d have to get an suv fir around town and another vehicle to tow my quads this one I can tow my 9000 pound cargo trailer with all of my toys in it.

Disappointed

We have the 2023 Sequoia Platinum for the last 7 months and have put 10k miles. The biggest issue is the cargo space. It’s so difficult to carry heavy items such as suitcases since the floor level is so high with the hybrid battery and the 3rd row seats. The ride quality is also very bad and can’t justify for a 80k SUV. The rain sensing and intermittent wipers don’t work and we have been to the Team Toyota dealership and they can’t figure it out. Fuel average in the city is no where close to the published MPG.. we hardly get between 16-17 vs listed 20. Interior materials are cheap. Only good thing is looks and we fall for it and now regret. Looking to trade soon.
