    Autogroup International, the global leader in right-hand drive vehicle conversions, is proud to announce the world-first launch of the right-hand drive 2025 Toyota Sequoia SUV, now available for pre-order across key right-hand drive markets in Africa, including South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.

    “This marks a world-first and a proud milestone for Autogroup International,” said Rob Hill, Group CEO of Autogroup International. “The Toyota Sequoia is the most advanced, luxurious, and spacious SUV in Toyota’s global line-up—engineered in the U.S. to meet the highest standards. Launching it in right-hand drive for Africa is the natural evolution of our successful Toyota Tundra pickup truck (bakkie) program and an exciting upgrade for those moving beyond the traditional Land Cruiser or Prado.”

     

    Why the 2025 Sequoia Is the King of Toyota SUVs

    • Built on Toyota’s latest U.S.-engineered full-size platform
    • Powered by a 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid (437 hp / 790 Nm torque)
    • Available in TRD Pro (off-road ready) and Capstone (luxury flagship)
    • Spacious 3-row seating with up to 8 passengers and 2nd-row captain’s chairs
    • Panoramic moonroof, advanced infotainment, premium materials and finishes
    • Full 4WD capability with locking rear diff, Crawl Control & Multi-Terrain Select

    With dimensions over 5.2 meters long, the Sequoia significantly exceeds the overall size, cabin space and legroom of the Land Cruiser 300 Series, especially in the second and third row seating. This makes it ideal for executive transport, government use, and families seeking unmatched space, luxury and comfort.

     

    Designed for the US, converted for right-hand drive Africa

    From the streets of Nairobi to the highlands of Uganda, and from Tanzania’s Serengeti routes to South Africa’s Garden Route, the right-hand drive Toyota Sequoia SUV is engineered to thrive in African environments—delivering rugged off-road capability and limousine-grade comfort.

    Whether used by private owners, luxury tour operators, government agencies, or executives, the Sequoia offers a new standard of prestige and performance in the African SUV market with the trusted, US-manufactured SUV.
