The Road Beat: 2023 Toyota Sequoia Capstone review - Improved, overpriced
Submitted by paula on Sat, 02/11/2023 - 10:19pm
This new range-topping trim of the redesigned Sequoia is overpriced and lacks the outright luxury quality it aspires to. Toyota finally did it, twice! Not only did they release an all-new Tundra pickup this past year, but they also replaced the aging Sequoia SUV. Both existing models had been in service since before the housing and financial crisis, which is to say a long time. For younger people to relate to just how vast that amount of time is, the previous generation had been on sale since before the MCU even existed; Think about that for a second and it ages the siblings dramatically.
