Toyota Sequoia vs. Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Review

Utility
The Toyota Sequoia and the Chevrolet Suburban 2500 can accommodate the same number of passengers. The Chevrolet is a better choice than the Toyota Sequoia as far as transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of luggage or massive dogs.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Toyota Sequoia and the Chevrolet Suburban 2500 are genuine speedsters.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Suburban 2500 is considerably more bulky than the Toyota Sequoia. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Suburban 2500 than the Sequoia because of its bigger tank. The Toyota Sequoia and the Suburban 2500 compete for the same parking spaces. The Toyota Sequoia's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic than the Chevrolet Suburban 2500.

Cost
With respect to MSRP, the Toyota Sequoia costs almost as much as the Suburban 2500 (though the Suburban 2500 is a bit cheaper).

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Toyota Sequoia is most certainly sprier than the Chevrolet, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Chevrolet's engine is substantially bigger than the Toyota Sequoia's. Note that larger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. The Sequoia could learn a lesson or two from the Chevrolet Suburban 2500 with respect to torque. Torque equals pickup, and the Suburban 2500 will have picked up and gone by the time the Toyota Sequoia finally gets moving.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Chevrolet's front cabin compared to the Toyota Sequoia. The Chevrolet Suburban 2500 provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Toyota Sequoia does.

Warranty
The Suburban 2500 and the Toyota Sequoia have the same basic after-sale protection.
