The 2023 Toyota Sequoia Platinum is a massive, luxurious SUV that offers a comfortable ride and impressive power, largely due to its hybrid powertrain. Reviewers found the interior reminiscent of the Tundra, with a premium feel and ample storage solutions, including a clever secret window and well-placed dashboard armrests. The 360-degree camera system significantly aids in parking this large vehicle. However, the hybrid system prioritizes power over fuel economy, with observed MPG falling short of expectations. Child seat installation presents challenges, particularly with top tether access on outboard seats and the limited recline/forward-sliding function of the second-row captain's chairs. The large trailer mirrors, while useful for towing, create significant blind spots for daily driving. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer preferred it over the Tahoe and noted its strong Toyota build quality, making it a compelling, albeit large and thirsty, family option.
