When Toyota unveiled the 2023 Sequoia it was expected that it would be more fuel efficient than its predecessor, since it’s now powered by a hybrid powertrain. When Toyota gave us some time with the new Sequoia a month ago, Toyota did not have the fuel economy specs, but now they are in.
The two-wheel drive 2023 Toyota Sequoia is rated at 21 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined, while the four-wheel drive version is rated at 19/22/20 mpg. That’s a big improvement over the old Sequoia with its 5.7-liter V8. It was rated at 13 mpg city, 17 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined with two-wheel drive, while the four-wheel drive version was rated at 13/17/14 mpg.
This means that the Sequoia is more fuel efficient than its rivals, like the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition. The 2023 Sequoia is powered by a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 hybrid powertrain that generates 437 horsepower and 585 pound-feet of torque.
