The Toyota Sequoia Car - Efficiency and Power Revisited



The Toyota Sequoia is a full-size SUV that goes the full mile in providing comfort, style and power that can be relied upon on any type of road and weather.
Exterior
The Sequoia looks majestic and refined, thanks to its solid build and imposing chassis. It is a truck-based SUV that is hard not to spot, and sits eight passengers on average, depending on the model or trim selected. Additionally, it features the following exterior additions:
18-inch alloy wheels
Roof rack
Heated mirrors
Sun roof
Privacy glass
Front and rear parking sensors (for the Limited edition)
Rear-view camera (Limited edition)
Towing package
20 inch chrome alloy wheels (for the Platinum edition)
Engine and Performance
It's easy to guess what kind of power you'd get just by looking at this behemoth of a machine. The Sequoia comes fitted with a standard 4.6 liter V6 engine which manages an output of 310 horsepower and torque of 327 pounds per feet.
Other engine options include a 5.7 liter engine with dual independent variable timing with 381 horsepower. It also comes equipped with an electronic ignition system thanks to Toyota Direct Ignition and is an ultra low emission vehicle II (ULEV II), helping you play a part in reducing carbon emissions.
Interiors
The versatile and spacious cabin of the Sequoia lets you carry a maximum of eight passengers and miscellaneous cargo, making it a perfect camping car. The seat configuration of 40-20-40 with the second row seat being able to recline and slide fore and aft give it the kind of space that a large family dreams of in an ideal family SUV.
Other interior features include:
1. Automatic three-zone air control with climate feature
2. AM/FM CD player with MP3/WMA capability with eight speakers thrown in and a free 3 month subscription to XM Radio.
3. Multi-Information display with outside temperature, compass, average fuel economy and distance to empty
4. Fabric-trimmed front seats
5. Cruise control
6. Leather-trimmed telescopic steering wheel that has Bluetooth and hands-free phone controls
Drive, Handling and Safety
The Toyota Sequoia comes fitted with standard anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, front-seat side-impact airbags, trailer sway control and three-row side-curtain airbags. The engine size and resultant torque and horsepower means that the Sequoia is able to handle whatever comes its way in terms of turns and road conditions.
The 10 inches of ground clearance on this powerful SUV means that this four-wheel drive model can hack it on any terrain thrown its way. Additionally, the fact that it has an adaptive suspension means that its towing capabilities remain impressive without compromising on the SUV's payload.
The Toyota Sequoia has a starting sticker price of $40,930, which is exclusive of the trims and upgrades, and is worth every dollar given the sheer power, carrying capacity and unbeatable road mileage (14/10 mpg city/highway respectively) that it will offer in return to its owner.
