The steering is decent and the ride is as comfortable as a living room thanks to the plush seats and ultra-compliant suspension. Handling is not too bad either; I found this full-size SUV to be fairly easy to maneuver. And of course, all the latest safety features are included.
Conclusion
This Toyota SUV is definitely a strong contender in the full-size segment. Performance is satisfying, while styling is tasteful and modern though unexciting. One thing's for sure: this generation is much more attractive than the old one in every respect. When compared to the Lexus LX 570, the Sequoia is certainly a bit more low-profile, although both share the same powertrain and offer the same Toyota quality. The former essentially stands out by offering more equipment, more comfort and more prestige. Everything else is roughly identical. Whichever one you choose, expect the folks at the gas station to become your new best friends.
