Toyota Sequoia Review
2010 Toyota Sequoia
Price Range: $38,530 - $58,905

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The average SUV is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the Toyota Sequoia. The Sequoia consumes a lot of gasoline compared to the average SUV. Regarding MSRP, the Toyota Sequoia costs substantially more than the average SUV.

Utility
The Toyota Sequoia will most certainly prove more convenient than the typical SUV for those of you with frequent child-cargo. There's no clear winner between the Toyota Sequoia and the average SUV regarding hauling capacity. Towing is significantly more the Toyota Sequoia's forte than it is the average SUV's.

Convenience
You'll likely take the average SUV for a fill-up roughly as often as the Toyota Sequoia.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the average SUV's front cabin compared to the Toyota Sequoia. While the rear of the average SUV provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Toyota Sequoia, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Sequoia is significantly heavier than the average SUV. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Sequoia than the typical SUV because of its larger tank. The average SUV and the Toyota Sequoia compete for the same parking spaces. The average SUV's shorter wheelbase will give a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic. However, the Toyota Sequoia is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Sequoia packs quite a wallop and will knock the average SUV down a few rungs. However, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the typical SUV and the Sequoia likely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Toyota Sequoia has a bigger engine than the typical SUV. Keep in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque equals pickup, and the Sequoia will have picked up and gone by the time the average SUV finally gets moving. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Toyota Sequoia is substantially more powerful than the average SUV.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Toyota Sequoia isn't quite as generous as the typical SUV's.
