Toyota Sequoia vs. Audi Q7 Review

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Toyota Sequoia packs quite a wallop and will knock the Audi Q7 down a few rungs. On the other hand, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Toyota and the Audi Q7 likely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Q7's engine is considerably smaller than the Toyota Sequoia's. Remember that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; however, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque equals pickup, and the Toyota Sequoia will have picked up and gone by the time the Audi finally gets moving. The Audi could learn a lesson or two from the Toyota Sequoia with respect to torque.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Toyota Sequoia over the Audi Q7. There's no clear winner between the Toyota Sequoia and the Audi in terms of transporting cargo. Towing is considerably more the Toyota Sequoia's forte than it is the Audi Q7's.

Convenience
The Toyota Sequoia's fuel tank will need to be replenished more often than the unit in the Audi Q7.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Audi Q7's front cabin compared to the Toyota Sequoia. The Audi Q7 is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the Toyota Sequoia.

Dimensions
The Audi Q7 and the Sequoia compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Audi is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the Toyota Sequoia. Producing an accurate fuel economy evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Audi Q7 is the winner in terms of gas mileage. The Audi Q7 will save you money at the pump compared to the Toyota Sequoia. As far as MSRP, the Audi Q7 costs approximately as much as the Toyota Sequoia (though the Toyota Sequoia is a bit cheaper). The Audi Q7 will save you a bundle at the pump every year compared to the Toyota Sequoia.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Toyota isn't quite as generous as the Audi Q7's.
