Toyota confirmed the primary teaser picture of what’s anticipated to be its redesigned Sequoia massive SUV, exhibiting solely the proper rear quarter of the automobile due late this 12 months.
The one shot on the model’s media web site on Tuesday does not reveal a lot about what is going to now be the model’s top-end body-on-frame SUV after it pulled the plug on the Land Cruiser final 12 months after a 63-year run. It does reveal reworked LED rear lighting and newly chrome-trimmed rear home windows, which might point out Toyota’s efforts to maneuver the Sequoia up market to fill a part of the void left by the Land Cruiser.
The Sequoia would be the second of what Toyota refers to because the “4 Brothers” to be redesigned onto the model’s new world F1 body-on-frame platform, following the Tundra full-size pickup, which made the transition final 12 months. As a part of the redesign, Sequoia manufacturing will transfer this 12 months from Toyota’s meeting plant in Princeton, Ind., to its truck plant in San Antonio.
The model’s two remaining body-on-frame “brothers” — the Tacoma midsize pickup and 4Runner midsize SUV — are scheduled to make their very own transitions onto the F1 platform, with the Tacoma in 2023 and the 4Runner in 2024.
