Toyota introduces the Sequoia in Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc
Toyota has officially introduced the Sequoia in Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc.
http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/Dis...9020333512.xml
DOHA: Toyota formally launched last night the all-new Sequoia developed as the first full-size city SUV with all the features of its performance and equipment that suits the needs of every user.
Dr Nasser Abdulghani Abdulghani, managing director of Abdullah Abdulgani and Bros, Co. WLL (AAB), told the media during the press conference, the Sequoia reliably carries on the Toyota tradition of exceptional quality such as body assembly and interior assembly precision.
Hundreds of residents mostly car aficionados including members of their families came to witness the unveiling of the new Sequoia at the showroom of Al Abdulghani Tower as they awe in wonder even to the basic features of the new SUV model.
This is good move by Toyota. Keep the Indiana plant running. The middle east Sequioa will feature upgraded air conditioning and better tires that preform in the middle east heat.
Sr5, limited and platinum will be offered with only one choice of engine. The 5.7
What is interesting is that this will be the first middle East Toyota SUV to feature the 5.7 iForce engine. Only the LX570 is offered with the 5.7 in the middle east.

Its also a great move to keep the jobs and the production facility moving in Indiana.
Also. In UAE. The Sequoia gets a 3year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.

And if you look at the January sales thread, they buy lots of Land Cruisers in Australia too, where there are huge stretches of deserts.

As for performing in the sands. It should do ok.. The USA Land Cruiser uses the a similar differentail from the Tundra. The 6 speed is from the Tundra and it is used in all over Africa and Middle east. IMO the Sequoia will last long. It likely won't perform very well in the sand. But we will find out.
Dumping the Sequioa in the middle east is a last ditch effort by Toyota to save the Sequoia line from extinction. I doubt it will survive. My guess is the next Sequioa is unibody like the Mercedes GL....we shall see
