Toyota Sequoia is one of the most popular.SUVs produced by this concern. And it is logical that many people are interested in its technical characteristics. The Toyota Sequoia is a really good SUV. In any case, he is able to meet the requirements of average motorists. And this topic should be discussed in more detail.
I would like to note one interesting pointbefore discussing specifications. “Toyota Sequoia” is an interesting machine, so you should tell about the history of the model and interesting points concerning its production. So, the debut of the car took place in 2000. However, the model was presented as a car in 2001. The price was somewhere between such famous SUVs as the Land Cruiser and 4Runner. Interestingly, the Toyota Sequoia model was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year Award (in 2001). And yet this car is very time, so to speak, appeared in the world. It was immediately ordered by Canadians - Land Cruiser cars were no longer sold on their market.
Машина выпускается в Пристоне (Индиана), там же, where they collect another model, no less well-known - Toyota Tundra. They, by the way, are often confused. The design is really something similar, especially if it is tuned cars. In general, today this car is sold in the USA, Mexico, Chile, Canada, Puerto Rico, as well as in the countries of the Middle East.
Well, it's worth starting with the engine this story aboutspecifications. “Toyota Sequoia” has an excellent power unit. He has proven himself very well. And this is the TOYOTA 4.5 turbo. It turned out to be very economical and powerful. To date, the car is equipped with a powerful 5.7-liter V8-engine. Its full name is 5.7 DOHC 32 i-FORCE V8 VVT-i. Even people who do not understand cars, can understand that the motor is sound. So it is - it produces a power of 381 horsepower.
If you believe many sources, thenThere is a version with a 4.7-liter diesel powertrain. However, these models are still not available. Perhaps they will be released. Or is it just in the plans. But in any case, such models would be popular (due to the current economic and fuel crisis).
PPC is another point concerning this topic.as technical specifications. “Toyota Sequoia” is completed with a good transmission. Many people choose a car for this reason. Well, if a model with a 4.7-liter engine will be released, then it will be completed with a 5-speed automatic. And in the version mentioned above, a 6-band automatic transmission is installed. It was adopted from the new Lexus, known as the GX570. It should also be said that the novelty boasts the function of the box called TOW / HAUL. It makes it possible to switch the gearbox to a mode that is very useful for many. That is, towing cargo. Due to this useful feature it turns out to save fuel considerably.
The car “Toyota Sequoia” is equipped with a good100 liters fuel tank. Refuel the car need unleaded gasoline. Its octane number is 86. Although most know it as just the 92nd gasoline. But the Russians, who own this SUV, critics, experts and current owners of the car are advised to refuel the 95th model. And hope that it fully corresponds to the 92nd American.
Reviews “Toyota Sequoia” gets prettynot bad, and in terms of fuel consumption - also, oddly enough. After all, SUVs usually consume unmeasured quantity, sometimes more than 25 liters per 100 km, and this is on the highway! Well, this car can please its owners. Driving through the city requires 19 liters of fuel per “weave”. If you drive around the city at rush hour (with traffic jams and other inconveniences), then you need to count on 25 liters. And, finally, about the flow with active maneuvers, sudden starts and fast accelerations. 30 liters per 100 km is, of course, a bit much, but for car owners. People who already know what an SUV is and how it “requires” fuel are already used to it. And this is a small indicator. But on the highway - a pleasure, a little more than 15 liters per 100 km. And, by the way, this overall SUV accelerates to 100 km / h in just 7 seconds. And it amazes many - at such and such sizes.
This car is 5209 mm long.In width - 2026 mm. And in height - 1894 mm. The wheelbase of this SUV is impressive - 3098 mm, due to which the cabin is very spacious, and there is enough space for everyone. Ground clearance is solid, as it should be in such a car - 24.38 centimeters.
It should be noted that the car body is made ofgalvanized high quality metal. Thickness significantly exceeds the performance of Japanese counterparts. Apparently, for the reason that Americans approach the issue of car production more practical.
The appearance is impressive, I must say.Brightly visible grille, which is somewhat similar to those that are equipped with “Doji”, yellow marker lights, the same spectacular direction indicators, comfortable doors, aggressive, even sporty design - the exterior was a success. True, the body did not turn out aerodynamic. Due to this, and explains such a considerable fuel consumption at high speeds.
Зато радует подвеска.There is a version with both pneumatic and normal. Although the first option is definitely better. Management is completely different. The car goes so smoothly, as if it is not even an SUV. There are, by the way, three modes of operation. As usual: comfortable, sporty and casual. The second of these is better to activate when driving off-road.
Отдельного внимания заслуживает салон “Тойота Sequoia". Inside, despite the powerful and respectable appearance, very comfortable and cozy. The driver feels safe, confident and comfortable in such a “cabin”. True, there are no innovations of every kind and excesses. But everything you need is there. Electronic seat settings, practical dashboard, comfortable steering wheel, strict design style. All to match the appearance.
И, напоследок, пара слов о еще одном моменте, что relates to the car “Toyota Sequoia”. Price is also an important nuance. Especially for people who wish to buy this car. How much is “Toyota Sequoia”? The price of a used car in a complete set with a gasoline 4.7-liter 240-horsepower engine, with automatic transmission and 4WD drive will cost over a million rubles. And it is in good condition (2004 version).
Model 2002 with the same engine, but a largemileage will cost approximately 800 000 rubles. And this is a complete set. With audio system, immobilizer, cruise control, TV, stability control, EBD, ABS, electronic power windows, drive, seat adjustment, sunroof, xenon headlights and much more. In general, everything that is needed and may be needed is inside. So if you want to buy a good and reliable SUV, you can make a choice in favor of a model like the Toyota Sequoia.
