"Toyota Sequoia": specifications. "Toyota Sequoia": bundling, prices

Toyota Sequoia is one of the most popular off-road cars produced by this concern. And it is logical that many people are interested in its technical characteristics. "Toyota Sequoia" - this is really a good off-road car. In any case, it is able to meet the requirements of average motorists. And this topic should be told in more detail.

Briefly about the model

I would like to note one interesting point, before discussing the technical characteristics. "Toyota Sequoia" - the car is interesting, so it is necessary to tell about the history of the model and interesting moments concerning its production. So, the machine debut took place in 2000. However, the model was presented as a 2001 car. The price was something average between such famous SUVs as Land Cruiser and 4Runner. Interestingly, the Toyota Sequoia model was nominated for the North American truck award of the year (in 2001). And yet this car was very timely, so to speak, appeared in the world. It immediately ordered the Canadians - in their market no longer sold cars Land Cruiser.

The car is produced in Priston (Indiana), in the same place, where they assemble another model, no less famous - Toyota Tundra. They, by the way, are often confused. The design is really something similar, especially if it's tuned cars. In general, today this machine is sold in the US, Mexico, Chile, Canada, Puerto Rico, as well as in the Middle East.

"Heart" model

Well, start with the engine this story about the technical specifications. "Toyota Sequoia" has an excellent powertrain. He proved himself very well. And this is the TOYOTA 4.5 turbo. It turned out to be very economical and powerful. For today the car is equipped with a powerful 5.7-liter V8-motor. Its full name is 5.7 DOHC 32 i-FORCE V8 VVT-i. Even people who are not versed in cars can understand that the engine is good. So it is - it produces a power of 381 horsepower.

If you believe many sources, then there is a version with 4.7-liter diesel power unit. However, these models are still not available. Perhaps they will be released. Or is it only in plans. But in any case, such models would be popular (in connection with the current economic and fuel crisis).

Transmission

The checkpoint is another point relating to a topic such as technical characteristics. "Toyota Sequoia" is equipped with a good transmission. Many people choose a car for this particular criterion. Well, if a model with a 4.7-liter engine goes into the light, then it is equipped with a 5-speed "automatic". And in the version mentioned above, a 6-band automatic transmission is installed. It was adopted by a brand new "Lexus", known as the GX570. It is also worth mentioning that the novelty can boast of a box function called TOW / HAUL. It makes it possible to switch the PPC into a mode that is very useful for many. That is, towing cargo. Due to this useful function it is possible to significantly save fuel.

Consumption and fuel

The car "Toyota Sequoia" is equipped with a good fuel tank with a volume of 100 liters. You need to fill the car with unleaded petrol. Its octane number is 86. Although most know it as simply 92 gasoline. But the Russians, who own this SUV, critics, experts and current car owners advise to fill the model 95-m. And to hope that it fully corresponds to the 92th American.

Reviews "Toyota Sequoia" gets pretty good, and in terms of fuel consumption - too, oddly enough. After all, off-road cars usually consume nemerenoe amount, sometimes more than 25 liters per 100 km, and it's on the road! Well, this machine can please its owners. Driving around the city requires 19 liters of fuel per hundred square meters. If you go around the city at rush hour (with traffic jams and other inconveniences), then you need to count on 25 liters. And, finally, about the expense of active maneuvers, sharp starts and rapid acceleration. 30 liters per 100 km is, of course, a bit much, but for the owners of cars. People who already know what an SUV is and how it "requires" fuel are already used. And this is still a small indicator. But on the highway - a pleasure, slightly more than 15 liters per 100 km. And, by the way, this high-speed SUV accelerates to 100 km / h in just 7 seconds. And this amazes many - at such and such a size.

Appearance

This car is 5209 mm long. The width is 2026 mm. And in height - 1894 mm. The wheelbase of this SUV is impressive - 3098 mm, due to what in the cabin is very spacious, and there is enough space for everyone. The ground clearance is solid, as it should be for such a car - 24.38 centimeters.

It should be noted that the car body is made of galvanized high-quality metal. Thickness significantly exceeds the performance of Japanese analogues. Apparently, for the reason that Americans are approaching the issue of car production more practical.

Appearance is impressive, I must say. The brightly visible radiator grille, which is somewhat similar to those with the "Doji", the yellow side lights, the same spectacular direction indicators, comfortable doors, aggressive, even sporty design - the exterior was a success. True, the body was not aerodynamic. Due to this, and explains such a considerable fuel consumption at high speeds.

But the suspension is good. There is a version with both pneumatic and conventional. Although the first option is definitely better. Management is completely different. The car rides as gently as if it were not even an SUV. Provided, by the way, three modes of operation. As usual: comfortable, sporty and ordinary. The second of the listed is better to activate when driving off-road.

Interior

Separate attention deserves the salon of Toyota Sequoia. Inside, despite the powerful and impressive exterior, very comfortable and cozy. The driver feels himself in such a "cabin" in a secure, confident and comfortable manner. True, there are all kinds of innovative functions and surpluses. But everything you need is there. Electronic seat settings, practical dashboard, comfortable steering wheel, strict design style. All fit into appearance.

And, finally, a couple of words about another point, as for the Toyota Sequoia car. Price is also an important nuance. Especially for people who want to buy this car. How much is Toyota Sequoia? The price of a used car in full set with a petrol 4.7-liter 240-horsepower engine, with automatic transmission and 4WD drive will cost more than one million rubles. And this is in good condition (2004 version).

The 2002 model with the same engine, but a large mileage will cost about 800,000 rubles. And this is in full set. With audio system, immobilizer, cruise control, TV, stability control system, EBD, ABS, power windows, drive, seat adjustment, sunroof, xenon headlights and much more. In general, everything that is only needed and can be needed is inside. So if you want to buy a good and reliable SUV, you can opt for a model such as the Toyota Sequoia.
