Roomy, comfortable, safe!
This is the most comfortable, easiest to drive vehicle that I have ever owned! It fits my entire family, including my parents, my child and even my dog. We drive unit everywhere we go including in vacation several hours away with plenty of room for all our luggage.

Best family vehicle ever!
I love this vehicle. We are a family of four and previously had a Ford escape and there just wasn't enough room. Love the space, how sleek it is, and it is the first vehicle that I have owned that my husband also loves! It has a DVD player in the back which is a big thumbs up for my kids!

The Toyota sequoia is one of the longest lasting vehicles on the road.
I love the Toyota sequoia for many reasons. The dependability, the way it drives, the way it looks, large enough to hold my family and guests. I have driven other SUVs and those have major body roll when turning, the sequoia does not. The only thing I wish is that Toyota made a more fuel efficient sequoia, my only complaint.

Very reliable and well constructed.
I like how it was made with solid construction. It is very spacious. No dislikes or complaints.

Family loves our Toyota sequoia.
I like the way it drives, almost like a car. Better than the American SUVs, with body roll. It is very dependable. Never an issue with anything. The seats are comfortable, with lots of legroom, even in second and third rows. Only thing I do not care for is the gas mileage, wish it were more fuel efficient.

Sleek, smooth, reliable and safe.
My vehicle runs smoothly for a four wheel drive vehicle. It has handled snowy and icy roads with ease with tons of traction. We have driven between two states on several occasions and logged a lot of miles. This vehicle is safe and reliable and worth the purchase price. This vehicle comes with a variety of options and colors to suit every day driving.

It feels very safe. There are airbags in the front and sides. The vehicle is larger than most SUVs, but is still enjoyable to drive.
It's big enough for the entire family. It's also very safe. I can fit luggage for four people inside and still have room left over. It's fun to drive.

This iS Not your typical mom SUV.
I love my sequoia! The only challenge I have had has been with aftermarket products. I added a remote start, a 3' lift, fat tires, and window tint. It does not look like a mom SUV anymore. I have 2 teenage boys that live at home and 2 step-kids out of state. We take a lot of road trips. We all fit comfortably and there is plenty of room for our stuff. We purchased a waterproof container that fits perfectly on the roof rack for the long trips. Everyone has their own charger plug-in, even in the 3rd row. This is vital for teens on long drives! The kids love that the rear window rolls down. My husband loves that we can tow the boat or the trailer and fit all the kids. We always buy Toyota. They've always taken care of us and the product is stellar. They last forever.

Negative Owner Reviews

Has 3 row seating with bucket seating in the middle row.
Does not have all the features I would like to have on a 2016. Would like to have auto truck gate lift along with a DVD player. The car does ride good and is the perfect size for my family size. When we bought the car we were in a pinch and had to find something asap. Wish we would have had time to find something else. We are currently looking for another car because the sequoia does not have all the features I would like to have.

My comfortable SUV, minor complaints.
The gas tank is small, only hold around 30 gallons, I expected a larger one. The tow capacity is low with a 4x4, I was hoping to tow a medium sized trailer. There is a blind spot in front window, the right and side of the front windows. The information screen, tend to have a glare. Otherwise a great car.

Great family vehicle-there are lots of space for family.
There are no problems really. The car is very comfortable. I like that it is a big car. It is very easy to put the third row seat up and down. It has a nice storage area in the back. The middle row seats are heated and can lean back. It has a nice big TV built inside of it.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Laci G.

The pros of this vehicle is it has lots of space and great gas mileage. The cons would be some of the features are a little outdated and the front area could have been used better as far as space goes.

likeFilled Jennifer D.

It have ample enough room/ has the backup screen for safety. Everything you need to control anything is located on the wheel which is another safety feature. It is VERY comfortable and has good sound.

likeFilled Mohammad A.

It is really dependable, reliable, strong, and good for long drives, has really good speed for a large vehicle. It also has a lot of interior space and seating for large groups. It has really interior specs such as finishing, audio speakers, and technological devices.

likeFilled Angela B.

Size, comfort, easy to drive, 4 wheel drive, lots of storage, lots of seating and room, many cup holders, lots of ports for electronics, many safety features, feel safe in it, good sound system, great heating and cooling.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Laci G.

The front could have been set up smarter and space used better. Also some of the features for my vehicle are a little outdated. I would have to say that the interior is nice but a little hard to clean.

dislikeFilled Jennifer D.

The only con that I can think of is that I should have gotten just a little bit of a bigger SUV. I have a big family and trying to fit everyone in there is a job in itself. Other than that there is really nothing wrong. This vehicle is great.

dislikeFilled Mohammad A.

It has a pretty bad fuel consuming engine, that is costly. Its exterior needs an update. It is not a good car to take into the city based on its size. Some drivers will have a hard time maneuvering it in a busy city. Parking can also be difficult.

dislikeFilled Angela B.

It is a little hard to park due to it is size, but I do not really consider this to be very much of a con because I feel that the benefit of it is size greatly outweighs the negative. I purchased this vehicle due to it is larger size anyway.

Great vehicle with amazing turning radius and room for 6 adults. It is a very quiet cabin and great interior features.

How Reliable Is The 2016 Toyota Sequoia?

The Toyota sequoia only needs gas and oil. It is very dependable and reliable. My friends that drive ford and a Chevy are jealous of the gas mileage and reliability.

Great value at a great price. Retail was $65,000 however we paid less than $60,000. The dealership was willing to work with us.
