The Toyota Sequoia is available in SR5, Limited and Platinum grades. In
select areas, the Sequoia features as standard E85 Flex Fuel capability on 4x4
5.7-liter V8 models.
Exterior Design
The Toyota Sequoia's
0.36 drag coefficient is comparable to smaller crossover-type vehicles. The
vehicle's mirrors, wipers, A-pillar and roof header are shaped to help maximize
aerodynamic efficiency and minimize wind noise. The vehicle underside airflow is
optimized to reduce drag and wind noise and to help improve directional control.
Headlamp washers are standard on all grades for improved visibility. On the
Limited grade, the large side-view mirrors feature power retraction, automatic
glare-resistance, and turn-signal lamps. In addition to these features, the
Platinum grade mirrors also include puddle lamps, position memory and
reverse-linked tilt functions.
The wide rear door-opening angle provides
easy passenger ingress/egress and child seat installation. Standard on the
Limited and Platinum models are front and rear parking sonar sensors that emit
an audible warning to alert the driver of the position of solid objects and
their distance from the vehicle.
Interior Design
The Toyota
Sequoia dash incorporates a modular instrument panel structure and, like other
interior surfaces, features a finish similar to fine luxury cars. Each of
Sequoia's eight seating positions provides space sufficient to comfortably
accommodate people well above normal height. The same efficient packaging that
allows exceptional interior comfort also allows carrying items up to 11 feet
long. Folding the second and third row seats flat opens the cargo area to 120.1
cubic feet of carrying capacity.
The second-row bench-type seat is split
40:20:40 and is equipped with a seat-slide mechanism that offers an adjustment
range of 5.9 inches. This seat can also be folded down flat and uses a one-touch
easy-slide action to allow passenger access to the third-row seat. Second row
captain's seats are available for a seven-seat cabin. Child-seat restraints for
the second row are standard on all grades.
The third-row seat is split
60:40, has a seatback reclining mechanism and can be easily folded flat. A power
tilting and folding mechanism is available. The rear liftgate sliding glass can
be opened and closed for easy loading with the turn of a key. The cargo area is
equipped with handy hooks for grocery bags. Sequoia provides 16 extra-large
cup/bottle holders, (18 on the Platinum grade) as well as convenient storage
spaces. The glove box measures 9.5 liters, and the second-row console box will
hold 12 CDs or four DVD cases.
All three grades offer two interior color
choices of Graphite and Sand Beige. A Red Rock interior is also available on the
Platinum grade. A Black interior is exclusive to the SR5 when equipped with the
Sport Appearance Package.
