We love our Toyota sequoia.
I love my sequoia! It is perfect for our family. We have plenty of room for luggage on trips, never full cargo space even after Costco, I never worry if it will start or if it can handle bad weather, and most importantly I feel super safe! It is comfortable, second and third rows have plenty of room for adults, and it really is just my favorite. No bells and whistles which I love because that means there’s less to break. But the one thing I wish was better is the back up camera/touch screen. The technology on that area could use updating for sure.

I love this car! The best decision for a family vehicle.
This vehicles is very comfortable and it drives very smoothly. It has good shocks for bumpy roads. It is an excellent family vehicle. It fits our 3 children and bulky car seats very well. It is not too high off the ground so it is easy to get in and out. There is a lot of trunk space especially if not using the 3rd row.

The Sequoia has plenty of power and room.
I like how much room the sequoia has. The engine has plenty of power if I wanted to tow. It is very comfortable and handles very well.

It is a great size and you can heal almost anything in it.
It rides nice, it is very comfortable and it will have a good resale value. I can take it on long trips and it is very comfortable.

Toyota sequoia quality number 1.
I am overly pleased with my 2017 Toyota sequoia! It is a reliable vehicle and I have had zero issues. Toyota in general makes quality vehicles. I would not buy any other make. It is spacious and comfortable. Room for eight passengers and plenty of cardio space.

That this vehicle has lots of room inside for the family
I love that it has lots of room for the family. I love that it's easy to drive and 4x4. I don't like that it eats so much gas

Nice car! Great views from the windows!
My vehicle is very comfortable, my kids love it! There's so much space to fit our 2 kids and our pets whilst we're on road trips. It is got a good feel to it and it feels smooth! There's a built in TV and an abundance amount of cup holders for me and my husband's coffee!

It is reliable and dependable and well made.
I love the size of the vehicle and the fact that it has an engine big enough to pull our boat. I can seat 7 people.

A reliable family vehicle.
So far, the car has been reliable, though regular maintenance is pricey. Even when I broke a rear window, it was easy to get the parts since this is such a common vehicle. Although it's been reliable, it is larger than I need and I will not buy another one.

Travel in comfort and style.
Very comfortable has a lot of legroom and a lot of room for people plus storage in the rear inside. It is a long vehicle with 4 doors and hatchback a/c controls in the rear seating compartment. It has a sunroof and DVD player for passengers. GPS map stereo and the works. In pearl white.

It gets 13 miles to the gallon which is not good in this economy.
The Toyota sequoia platinum is a smooth ride both off and on the highway. Very spacious interior with all luxury features makes this ride a top in its class. The gas mileage is poor at thirteen miles per gallon city and about 17 miles per gallon highway.

Full size family SUV built to last.
Love just about everything except for a 2017 I wish it had a better audio system that included apple play and I wish it had push start. The seats are really comfortable and it has a lot of leg room. There is not much space for luggage if the third row of seats are being used.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Diana W.

The size is perfect with seating for 8. Comfort is great. The third row which is usually uncomfortable for cars with three rows is comfortable. I like the look and appreciate they keep consistent with the same style in new models.

likeFilled Tina C.

Drives nice. Looks good runs smooth. Nice and roomy. Lots of space for the family. Great on gas. Doesn't need a lot of maintenance drives good in all weather conditions. It's a family vehicle and even the dog fits in with plenty of room to spare.

likeFilled Debbi G.

Good gas mileage, roominess, large storage and cargo space, third row seat, ease of putting seats and lift gate up and down, price for value, good resale, handles well even in tight spaces, kid friendly.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Diana W.

Expensive with gas. I do not like how small the graphic screen is on dash. It seems many other car types have increased the size of the graphics on dash, while I feel my screen looks outdated. I love my sunroof but it seems the glare from the sun roof always impacts my ability to view my backup camera screen. You cannot see at all on most days.

dislikeFilled Tina C.

Takes a lot of gas to fill it up. When something does go wrong with it it's quite expensive to get it fixed. The sensors go out a lot. Right now it won't stay in park the transmission is slipping.

dislikeFilled Debbi G.

Expensive to repair with genuine Toyota parts, does not have push button start technology, a/c does not regulate well. Too hot or too cold, leather wears quickly, does not come with molding floor mats for high spills since this is a family car.

Is The 2017 Toyota Sequoia A Good Car?

Yes, I love driving this vehicle. It steers well, is super smooth, and has enough space for my family and all our stuff! I do not know what I did before this car!

How Reliable Is The 2017 Toyota Sequoia?

I have not run into any problems with my vehicle. The shifter does squeal a little bit when shifting from park to drive sometimes. This is a problem I am investigating right now.
Michelle M.

Is The 2017 Toyota Sequoia A Good Value?

I got this car for $40,000. I think it is a good value, but it is definitely not cheap. But it is made well and has a great warranty. Plus, Toyotas are an investment.
