Detailed review of 2022 Toyota Sequoia, advantages, disadvantages, specifications and prices

A thorough review and comprehensive examination of the performance and driving performance of the 2022 Toyota Sequoia

2022 Toyota Sequoia Restyled for 2023, it is based on the equipment of the new Tundra, Land Cruiser and Lexus LX600. It will only be available in a hybrid version, and the 2022 Toyota Sequoia underwent a facelift that gave it a completely new look that will be presented in the 2023 version, and changes for the upcoming version include the interior and exterior. We haven’t been able to test it, since it will hit the market in the spring of 2023.

The truth is that the 2022 Sequoia has not changed much, and it belongs to the second generation dating back to 2008. Yes, it did not undergo Face Lift this year, but it has seen some updates, and it did not include the eight-cylinder engine that is always thirsty for fuel.

Toyota Sequoia Limited 2022 Price in Italy is ITL 52,378 (US$59,520). 2022 Toyota Sequoia Limited RWD (Natl) is powered by a 5.7L V8 Gas

With rear-wheel drive and in SR5 trim, the 2022 Sequoia has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $50,500, plus a destination charge. Where it’s optional, all-wheel drive costs $3,225. The range-topping Platinum trim with all-wheel drive is $69,775.

Inside, I found the hard plastic interior surfaces unsuitable for an SUV, even though it cost $60,000. 
Even the 7-inch touch screen is less good than the competition.

But 
for families looking for a large SUV infused with Toyota reliability, the 2022 Toyota Sequoia is the easy choice . 
The cavernous interior accommodates three rows and eight passengers, with plenty of cargo space.

The Sequoia Off-Road Vehicle is highly capable, and can tow 7,400 lbs. 
Satisfying 3-row SUV enthusiasts, rivals like the Chevrolet Tahoe and Dodge Durango can tow even bigger, so follow our Sequoia expert review and ratings to see if Toyota’s vintage SUV is right for you.

The Nightshade special model offers cosmetic additions to the Sequoia with a more aggressive look, and the Platinum model is the highest and includes all the technologies.
Toyota Sequoia 2022 exterior design
The 2022 Sequoia looks like yesterday’s news. It hasn’t changed much, its exterior design is dated, and the TRD Pro class is way better with new bumpers and other finishes. 
In general, the exterior design of the Sequoia is below average.

The Nightshade Special Edition is equipped with elegant design elements including black mirrors, black door handles and a dark chrome grille.
Interior Design for Toyota Sequoia 2022
The Sequoia’s interior is large and spacious as it is, accommodating eight passengers, with optional second-row seats identical to the driver’s seat, reducing the number of passengers to seven. 
The interior decoration ranges from fabric to leather upholstery. 
It looks like an old cabin.

The interior has low-cost decorations. 
The front and rear seats are comfortable, and the storage space is ample, but the Sequoia loses out in fit and finish, to an average level of comfort and quality.

The Platinum model is offered with a multi-function center console. 
With standard one-touch tilt/slide sunroof, and sliding sun canopy to freshen cabin air. 
second-row climate controls, rear-seat Blue-ray Disc entertainment system, and 120-volt AC rear power outlet.

Front and second-row passengers enjoy plenty of space. 
The third row is narrow for adults and suitable for children. 
There is approximately 20 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row.
Toyota Sequoia engine 2022
The TRD Pro Off-Road model is equipped with off-road equipment, a front skid plate, and a rear differential. 
It is reported that the powertrain will be changed in the Sequoia 2023 version, and it is expected that the Sequoia will share the same powertrain with the Tundra.

There is only one engine option for the 2022 Toyota Sequoia. The i-FORCE DOHC 5.7-liter V-8 delivers 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. 
With independent variable timing double valve, it is a smart drive. 
It is mated to an electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission, which features a sequential shift, which changes up/down inclines.

Toyota Sequoia 2022 driving and performance impressions
The Sequoia 2022 offers a good engine with a retro driving experience. 
It hasn’t changed in years, it’s like an old SUV. 
Sequoia classes maintain a dynamic navigation experience to download the latest map data, routes and points of interest. 
Just select your destination and Sequoia will find the best route.
equoia offers a variety of performance-enhancing features to enhance the driving experience. 
The SR5, TRD Sport, Limited and Nightshade Special Edition models come with rear wheel drive as standard, and you can swap out rear wheel drive for all-wheel drive in the lower grades, for more control over road conditions.

The Sequoia has a system known as Star Safety to control traction and stability control, and you also get Smart Stop technology, Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Brake Assist. 
I’ve found that these technologies work really well, and really help keep occupants safe. 
I am waiting to try the new updated version of Toyota Sequoia 2023.

I tested visible white/yellow lane markings detected at speeds under 32 but it didn’t work, and it works as Toyota said at speeds over 32mph, the car made an audible alert if lane departure was detected. 
The same goes for the automatic safety system (AHB) for clear night vision at speeds of more than 25 mph. 
The AHB system can detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the tail lights of previous vehicles, and automatically switches between high and low beams accordingly.
Toyota Sequoia speed 2022
The V8 delivers decent power coupled with a nice underside snarl. 
The transmission is under-performing, although it runs smoothly. 
However, the extra gears allow for more relaxation on the highways.

The Sequoia has decent traction for a large SUV at the cost of feeling nimble. 
Instead, it offers lumbering motions on the road with heavy handling. 
Overall, I found the Sequina gave me a smooth ride, and was able to absorb the bumps.
Toyota Sequoia 2022 Technologies and Tools
The 2022 Sequoia is an expensive option compared to what it includes. 
Yes, the Sequoia offers a wide range of trim levels, but its infotainment system is low-key. 
It is also average in performance.

Sequoia comes with a smart key system. 
When the car feels that you are close, it opens and you can open the doors and when entering, just press the “Start” button.
By pairing your Android phone with Sequoia, you can access the Google Assistant to get real-time traffic alerts, make and receive phone calls, listen to your favorite soundtracks, and other features available using voice commands.

The standard blind spot monitor is equipped with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) to maintain safety. 
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warns you when another vehicle enters your blind spot. 
or when reversing, Rear Cross Traffic Alert detects vehicles approaching from either side, and warns you with side mirror indicators and a warning tone.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) allows you to drive at a pre-set speed. 
DRCC limits driving at speeds between 25-110 miles per hour, and the technology uses distance control between you and other cars, and maintains a predetermined distance between you and the car in front of you.
The car we recommend for you from Toyota Sequoia 2022
The TRD Sport and TRD Pro series are suitable for off-road enthusiasts. 
And for everyone else, we’re suggesting the base model SR5 for $51,895, preferably with the optional Premium package. 
It gives you most of the desirable Sequoia features, and we also like the SR5 18-inch wheels, as they give a softer ride than 20-inch wheels.

Choosing the Limited, Platinum, Nightshade or TRD Pro model gives you second-row captain seats, but reduces the number of passengers to seven. 
With about an extra $10,000 you can get leather seats and larger wheels, it’s just too big a cost.
Value for the price of a Toyota Sequoia 2022
Toyota wants more than $67,000 for a Sequoia Platinum, which is a huge sum of money for an outfitted model like some of its several thousand less expensive competitors, and competitors offer a more modern design.
Safety and Security Features of Toyota Sequoia 2022
The Toyota Sequoia is considered the safest Toyota car, according to European tests, the Sequoia has received a five-star rating, and it is the safest to keep adult passengers and children, the pre-collision system with pedestrian detection (PCS w / PD) and the detection of cars or pedestrians is designed.

Using both a camera and radar, PCS w/PD can provide an audio/visual alert to warn you of a potential collision. 
And if you don’t react, the system is designed to brake automatically. 
With lane departure warnings, blind-spot monitors, adaptive cruise control and automatic high-beam headlights.

Toyota Sequoia is considered the least fuel efficient new car, and it is the most petrol thirsty. 
The rear-wheel drive versions of the 2022 Toyota Sequoia were rated poorly, achieving 13 mpg, 17 highway, and 15 miles combined. 
With all-wheel drive, the Sequoia increases fuel consumption and achieves 14 mpg combined. 
All competitors use less fuel globally.

Comparing Toyota 2022 Sequoia to Competitors

Toyota Sequoia compared to Chevrolet Tahoe
The Chevrolet Tahoe (mechanically identical and GMC Yukon) has been restyled twice since the current Sequoia debuted in 2008. The 2021 Tahoe is the best version yet of an SUV based on Chevy trucks. 
Although the interior of the Tahoe is unadorned, it has clever design and much higher quality materials than the cute Sequoia cabin. 
I also love the Tahoe’s smooth V8 engine, efficient V6 diesels, spacious interior, comfortable cabin and excellent towing rating. 
If you need more cargo space, the Chevrolet Suburban is essentially a bigger Tahoe.
Toyota Sequoia vs Ford Expedition
The Ford Expedition debuted only a few years before the Sequoia, but the Ford is already in its fourth edition. 
Its polish, technology, and refinement feel light years to come. 
The Expedition lacks a V8, but the twin-turbo V6 delivers the same power, torque and competitive haul rates. 
The Expedition also offers more room for passengers and cargo without increasing bulk, and the Expedition’s ride is smoother than the Toyota Sequoia. 
The Expedition Max has a long wheelbase with more cargo space if needed.
Comparison between Toyota Sequoia and Dodge Durango
The two cars are the same age, and the Durango was last restyled just a few years after the Sequoia’s last update, yet the Durango retains its broad appeal. 
The Durango comes standard with three-row seating but offers less space for people or cargo. 
The interior is crowded, and includes a touch screen and a first-class infotainment system. 
The Durango is available in V6 and V8 engines and can tow nearly 9,000 pounds. 
There’s even a high-performance SRT Hellcat version with 710 horsepower.
