Buyers in the market for expanded passenger space and more than enough cargo space should consider theÂ
2021 Toyota Sequoia. Since its debut in 2008, this large SUV has been designed with families in mind. It's strong with a substantial towing capacity but is more versatile than a truck and with a higher seating capacity, too.
Solid Performance
One of the aspects that buyers love about the Sequoia is its powerful base engine. The 5.7-liter V-8 engine gives this SUV some muscle, generating 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. Buyers will also choose either a 6-speed automatic transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission to pair it with.
Both are solid options and confident in their smooth gear changes. Every model comes standard with rear-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is a popular choice as an upgrade.
Expanded and Accessible Cargo Area
Not many competitors can surpass the sheer volume of cargo space that the 2021 Sequoia offers. The max 120.1 cubic feet can easily accommodate building materials or surfboards when both back rows are folded down. When all seats are upright, there are still 19 cubic feet of storage in the rear and 67 cubic feet when the back row is folded down.
This adaptable storage is incredibly convenient when hauling both people and gear. The power liftgate is one of the best conveniences on this SUV, as it makes loading and unloading cargo all the easier. The additional hooks and cubby holes in the rear make for increased spaces to keep track of smaller items.
Smooth and Agile
The Sequoia's design is based on a truck platform, making the ride quality feel a bit more capable than what you usually get on most large third-row SUVs. This makes the Sequoia drive more luxuriously, driving over bumps and around corners with ease.
The suspension is well-tuned, making for exceptionally comfortable and smooth ride quality. Between its driving performance and maximum occupancy, this SUV will definitely be taking some long road trips with you.
Comfortable Seating for 8
Depending on how you decide to configure the Sequoia, there is a max occupancy of 8 people inside its cabin. Kids may fit best in the third row, but you can easily do three of them back there.
The first and second rows are a bit more welcoming to adults, but a third row is undoubtedly an option for shorter drives without making them feel too cramped; they may even enjoy the third-row recline feature. There is plenty of legroom back there and even more in the front and second rows. The slide and tilt function of the second-row seats makes them incredibly comfortable without infringing on the third-row occupants.
Overall, the Sequoia's high-performing V-8 engine, its spacious interior, and all of the advanced safety features make this SUV an excellent buy. It can function both as a family hauler and as a powerful workhorse. ContactÂ
