2023 Toyota Sequoia | MotorWeek Road Test

Like everyone these days, Toyota sells a whole lot of SUVs. But among all of the RAV4s, Highlanders, and 4Runners, the Sequoia tends to get a little lost, despite being their biggest and most capable utility. But, this Tundra-based full-framed 3-row ute is all-new for 2023, and looking to stand taller than ever!

Those side mirrors are very strange. Looks like they are bigger than necessary.

I love that Motor Week still has the same guy after all these years. He has a great TV/Radio Voice!

Damn that behemoth is fast! Very impressive for a huge brick 🧱 on wheels!

Side view mirrors make it look like Micky mouse. What MPG hit do those add?

14.2 in the quarter mile is impressive. That's the same ET as a stock Mustang LX 5.0 from the late 80's to early 90's.

But those side view mirrors…that killed it for me…all you are missing is Santa and the rest of the reindeer’s

This vehicle looks a lot better in person. It has a powerful presence. It doesn't seem gargantuan like some of its rivals. Great fit and finish. To go along with the Toyota reliability and ruggedness.

Am i the only one who keeps noticing the enormous side mirrors?

[kkeo]

Just noticed those side mirrors reminded me of bullwinkle’s antlers 🫎🙊🐒

[mr.c]

SR5 used are already going for almost $90k. Insane

During that slalom the sequoia swayed so much my house was swaying with it.

[lucyfan]

I actually like it more than I ever thought. Its more rugged with luxury touches then some others that try to go the luxury route but it is quite nice. I could live with this 100%

[eniolafolorunso]

What's with the side mirrors? They look so out of place.

[drmnishikawa]

Does this car comes with antlers instead of side mirrors?

[FrozenDonut]

Anyone else impressed with that V6 making 437 horses??

[ChrisG-glst]

I love it! But those side mirrors are too big like a Dodge Ram 😢

[britbritcritict]

I have seen this big moma in Orange county california in military green with black rims also in a nice sky blue and an orange peel. It looks better than the cadillac escalator

[georgesnyder]

Fantastic 3.5L turbo hybrid? What is the rating framework for "fantastic"? There have been plenty of issues thus far with the Tundara. Does "fantastic" address reliability?

[jorgerodrigogomezflores]

Makes me wonder why Toyota didn’t made a longer wheelbase Sequoia to compete with the extended full-size SUV’s from GM, Ford and Stellantis.

[andyx]

The fact that these overly powerful, huge SUVs will be driven by distracted soccer moms doesn't bode well for our collective road safety
