Under the hood, that new Tundra has lost its burly-sounding 5.7-liter V8, which has been replaced by a twin-turbo V6 that delivers up to 479 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque in hybrid guise. Expect the next-generation Sequoia to feature much of the same hardware as this truck.

As for Toyota’s enigmatic teaser image, there’s not much we can glean from it. Clearly, the vehicle in question is an SUV, one dressed in a fetching red paint job, but that’s about all we can make out. There’s a pronounced crease in the rear fender that flows down and curves in front of the rear door handle, the side glass is also highlighted by some bright trim that hooks upward at the D-pillar and the taillights are similar to what you find on the smaller Highlander SUV.

So far, the automaker hasn’t commented on exactly what this vehicle is or when it might be revealed. “Something big is coming to the Toyota SUV lineup. A clear picture will come into view soon. Stay tuned,” is all Toyota has shared so far.
