The Toyota Sequoia has been in production for over two decades, and the third-generation model was unveiled in 2022. The new Sequoia has been completely redesigned with the new TNGA platform used by the new Lexus LX600, Toyota Tundra, and Toyota Land Cruiser.
The flagship model in the Toyota lineup is the Sequoia Capstone, which is currently the most expensive new Toyota on sale today. Let’s see what Toyota has done to their most luxurious offering yet.
What Is The Toyota Sequoia Capstone Edition?
The Capstone trim is the most luxurious version of the new Toyota Sequoia. It is the most expensive new Toyota you can buy, with a starting price of $78,460 and can go as high as $83,000 fully equipped.
The Capstone exterior features lots of chrome on the grill, bumper, mirrors, door handles, window trim, and roof rails. It also has power running boards, big 22-inch wheels, and Capstone logos on the front doors.
The Capstone Has A More Luxurious Interior
The Sequoia Capstone has a more luxurious two-tone semi-aniline leather interior. It also features Dark American walnut wood-grain trim with backlit “CAPSTONE” on the passenger dashboard. The center console has wood trim, and there is a 14-inch center touchscreen with a 14-speaker JBL sound system.
The front and rear seats are heated and ventilated, and the interior is quieter thanks to the new double-pane acoustic glass. The Capstone also comes with a full panoramic roof and exclusive Capstone floor mats.
In the second row, you have captain’s chairs as standard, and you can easily access the third row from the second row. The third row can be folded down for more cargo space.
Twin Turbo Hybrid V-6
The Capstone is powered by a 3.4-liter twin-turbo hybrid V-6 engine that produces 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. It comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. The Capstone has a maximum towing capacity of 9,000 pounds and offers great fuel economy at around 20 MPG combined.
The Capstone also comes with active dampers and optional rear leveling air suspension to enhance the ride quality.
Is The Capstone Worth It?
The Sequoia Capstone offers exclusive features and improvements over other trims, making it a great choice for those seeking luxury. However, it may fall short in terms of offering true luxury compared to its competitors. Nevertheless, it combines Toyota’s reliability, three-row seating, and massive towing capacity, making it a compelling option for buyers in search of a luxurious SUV.
