Arriving in early November, Sequoia will be Toyota's first mainstream, full-size sport utility vehicle (SUV). It was developed to fill a key product-and-price position between the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser. Larger and roomier than the Cruiser, Sequoia will complement Toyota's SUV lineup with the size, features, performance and pricing that are currently in such high demand with recreationally-active American families. "Sequoia is much more than Toyota's biggest SUV," said Don Esmond, Toyota Division senior vice-president and general manager. "Like Tundra, Sequoia was developed, designed and built to meet the unique demands of the American market."

Toyota returns to compact pickup truck roots with its latest concept vehicle A-BAT. The environmentally advanced A-BAT provides modern versatility, roominess and style in a compact pickup architecture. The A-BAT will be on display at the Toyota exhibit in Detroit at the 2008 North American International Auto Show beginning Monday, Jan. 14. "Driving from beyond the suburbs to the city is a way of life for many people," said Kevin Hunter, president, Calty Design Research, Inc. "We've taken Toyota's truck heritage to a different level by envisioning a vehicle capable of maneuvering the suburbs as well as dirt roads. This compact truck is as comfortable for long commutes as it is for road trips. It can accommodate outdoor toys and home improvement supplies. Plus, customers benefit from the hybrid powertrain's low emissions and fuel economy."
