Toyota Sequoia Change Vehicle

Unlock Ratings
The Sequoia is a rational but uninspired vehicle. It's roomy and quiet, the powertrain is refined and it has good brakes. The power-retracting rear window is a nice touch, too. But handling is ungainly and the ride quality is not very comfortable. Side- and curtain-airbags were made standard beginning with the 2007 model year.

Overall Owner Satisfaction

Consumer Reports’ Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey can improve the chances of finding a compatible car match. How? Our survey data reveals whether, all things considered, owners would buy the same car again. The answer to that question is what determines our owner-satisfaction rating, which is a powerful piece of intel because it predicts how well a particular model will satisfy other owners.

"This car is a dream for road trips even though it uses gas. My husband is tall, I am small, we are comfortable and never stiff after a long drive. Great climate control."

JANE S., CA (2005 Toyota Sequoia)

"It seems underpowered compared to new ones. It has a 4.7 l engine which, in my mind, is not big enough for a rig that size. Because of that the mileage suffers. But, at the time, it was the best available. I don't like the auto recirc feature. It comes on automatically and I'd rather work it manually at my command."
