I'm in the market for a new Suv, and I'm looking at the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer vs. 2023 Toyota sequoia. What's your take on each..especiallythe engine.. Sequoia hasn't disclose gas mileage yet.
I would not ever buy anything with the Jeep label on it unless it was maybe a 1981 CJ7. Jeep products are rolling piles of junk.
Forget the Jeep. For Sequioa, since they use the twin turbo V6, I don't think it can last as long as the NA V8. If the mpg is important to you, you are looking into a wrong section. These cars are huge, heavy and not aerodynamic.
2023
Even though the Sequoia is going to have the twin turbo but I will still trust it a lot more than the Jeep. Now with twin turbo it's pretty new so nobody can for sure talk about how long it will last, but the general consensus so far is that it is expected to last less than the V8. Another option is to look for a Land Cruiser; those were V8 until the last day they were available here, but also keep in mind those who have one know what they have so they won't let go of it for cheap. Gas mileage should never be a concern with this category of cars; they've already forced the manufacturers to ruin these nice literally trucks with their nonsense mpg requirements. If willing to go with something smaller then consider the new Highlander too.
Personally I'd just preemptively throw my money in the trash can.
If you want a good SUV, the 2022 Sequoia is as good as they get.
If you want a toy that will probably fall apart, both are interesting cars.
Well,
On one side you have the first engine ever designed by Stellantis, Neither Peugeot Citroen nor Fiat Chrysler built a good small engine the last decade, "is team work the answer?". Other engine options include, the worst hybrid system ever designed, and a Hemi.
I don't see how such a complex and unproven thing can be reliable.
On the other side Toyota a new untested twin turbo V6 integrated into a mild hybrid system with a 10 speed gearbox. This has nothing to do with the good old reliable Sequoia.
I don't see how such a complex and unproven thing can be reliable, even if it's built by Toyota.
Both of these have a high potential of Turing into nightmares/money pits.
Quite honestly, after the 2022 Sequoia stops being available, I won't have any full-size SUV recommendations all the new ones seem like they're going to be JUNK. It's ridiculous how fast this segment went from cars that are built "simple and durable" into complex and cheaply slapped together.
