2023 TOYOTA SEQUOIA CAPSTONE 4WD - POV NIGHT DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a detailed look at the 2023 Toyota Sequoia Capstone 4WD, highlighting its premium interior and the potent "i-Force Max" hybrid V6 powertrain. The 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque are praised for delivering strong performance, comparable to a diesel's responsiveness with V6 power. The ride quality is noted as a significant improvement over the Tundra, being smoother and more refined, especially on the 22-inch wheels. However, the Capstone trim's low front air dam and large wheels are seen as compromises for off-road capability. Practicality concerns are raised regarding the third-row packaging due to the hybrid battery, and the cargo shelf's solidity is questioned. While the sound system is deemed adequate, it falls short of expectations for a vehicle in this price bracket, especially when compared to the Lexus LX. Despite its high price, the reviewer suggests the Sequoia Capstone offers a compelling alternative to the LX for those seeking more interior space and a significant cost saving.
