Toyota Sequoia vs. Lexus GX 470 Review

Utility
The Sequoia and the Lexus can accommodate the same number of passengers. There's no clear winner between the Toyota Sequoia and the Lexus in terms of hauling capacity. Towing is substantially more the Sequoia's forte than it is the Lexus GX 470's.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Toyota packs quite a wallop and will knock the Lexus GX 470 down a few rungs. However, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Sequoia is considerably heavier than the Lexus GX 470. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Sequoia than the Lexus GX 470 because of its bigger tank. The GX 470 and the Toyota Sequoia compete for the same parking spaces. The Lexus GX 470's shorter wheelbase will give a sprier feel in daily traffic. On the other hand, the Toyota Sequoia is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly have to take the Lexus GX 470 for a fill-up more often than the Toyota because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Lexus GX 470 to the dealership as the Toyota Sequoia. There frankly isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Toyota Sequoia is a bit more economical than the Lexus. In terms of MSRP, the Lexus GX 470 doesn't cost much less than the Toyota.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Lexus GX 470 and the Toyota Sequoia most certainly handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Lexus's engine isn't much more sizeable than the Toyota's.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Lexus GX 470's front cabin compared to the Sequoia. The GX 470 is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the Toyota Sequoia.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Toyota Sequoia isn't quite as generous as the Lexus GX 470's.
