The upcoming 2021 Toyota Sequoia will get a redesign. The approaching SUV will remain spacious and versatile. However, the rest of the vehicle will be changed a lot. Current Sequoia is looking good, and it comes with tradition and off-road capabilities. Now, the time has come for modern touches and further upgrades. Toyota will introduce numerous changes, in and out.
On the other hand, the manufacturer will continue to aim for the larger families. In terms of performances, everything will remain. TRD variants will be in the offer, and a hybrid version is unlikely for 2021. Still, the full-size SUV could get a hybrid powertrain shortly.
2021 Sequoia Exterior Redesign
The approaching full-size SUV is getting a complete overhaul. The 2021 Toyota Sequoia will be redesigned, and we can’t wait to see the final product. The new model will introduce LED headlights and daytime running lights. The fog lights are unique as well, and the rear part will also suffer a lot. The original shape of the taillights is in the works, and the rear bumper will be much more aggressive.
The front fascia will sport additional chrome trims around the grille and the lower bumper. New optional moonroof will look very premium. Overall, Sequoia looks sharper than before. The Japanese manufacturer will provide new black panels and horizontal slats. Furthermore, expect larger optional wheels and modern styling.
Interior Revamp
We still don’t know how the new interior will look like. The cabin will be revamped for sure. However, the 2021 Toyota Sequoia will keep its current layout. There is room for eight passengers. The three-row seating configuration is intact. On top of that, Sequoia will stay intact in terms of dimensions.
That means the cabin space is unchanged for 2021. However, a new full-size SUV will get a new design from the inside. New moonroof, additional safety aids, and the latest technology are in the offer. On top of that, Toyota will provide a longer list of standard amenities this time.
Single Powertrain Option
If the latest reports are correct, the upcoming 2021 Toyota Sequoia won’t offer a new engine. In terms of performance, everything will largely remain. A 5.7-liter V8 remains standard, and it delivers 381 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. This output comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission. On top of that, a variable valve timing system is in the offer. RWD configuration remains, while the 4WD setup is optional once again.
Additionally, a part-time 4WD is available, and it lowers the fuel economy. However, Sequoia’s 13 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway doesn’t sound promising at all. It is the biggest issue for years. For that reason, hybrid powertrain is the latest rumor. Toyota plans to redesign all of its models before 2022, so the Sequoia Hybrid is a probable outcome.
2021 Toyota Sequoia Price and Release Date
The company’s newest SUV will hit the markets later next year. November 2020 is the most likely release date. The 2021 Toyota Sequoia will be available in four trim levels. The price will jump for sure. The base trim level will start at $51,000. TRD Sport will cost slightly more, and the range-topping Platinum trim is priced at $70,000.
