I do love this Toyota Sequoia & I feel that Toyota went over & above when it comes to making a nice nice interior. Well done by Toyota! I'd like to see Toyota make a Sequoia L for longer wheel base.

[@peterlopez8641]

Would you say the Grand Highlander has better optimization for cargo space and comfort ?

[@CarConfections]

@@peterlopez8641 absolutely

[@kensakata5124]

The previous generation DID have an independent rear suspension. The third row seating was actually usable by adults, and the cargo area behind it was still usable. By going to a hybrid system and reverting back to a solid rear axle, they ate into the third row/cargo space and took a step backwards.

[@Dutchcoffee761]

It also had full time 4wd, while the new one is part time… cost cutting

[@igeekone]

Yup, this is a massive step back form the previous generation. Same with the new 4runner and Tacoma. Electrification is robbing capability.

[@Bluemon-u6p]

It looks very similar to the GM Tahoe, Traverse, GMC, and Jeep Cherokee. It seems to have copied the designs of several cars.

[@konstantinshepelevich4146]

Totally agree with all your points. Terrible changes vs previous shape.

[@Phi.D.888]

It all about mpg. People was b*** about terrible gas mileage

[@marcuswright8418]

I’d generally insert the ubiquitous comment about Toyota reliability, however, these new Toyota engines are turds 😂

I don't understand why Toyota would bring this to market with such a compromised cargo area.

People that think Toyota is the best thing ever will buy them even though it’s a less than median ranked vehicle.

[@jcastro8025]

The only thing I wanted to know. Did they fix the dumb trunk. Thanks for the heads up.

[@Slythey]

@@randomguy6745 Toyota was great when it had archaic drivetrains. Toyota has no competitive edge whatsoever without that.

[@Ezone_X]

Get the Nissan new Y63 Nissan PATROL (ARMADA) way better cargo space, can fold flat the 3rd row, way modern interior design, plus it is made in Japan.

[@fakedazzleful]

People don't understand how toyota do business. Toyota want grand highlander to sell and sienna. obviously if they give this car alot of cargo space. Then it would take alot of sales away from grand highlander and sienna.

[@vetriselvan5900]

Toyota missed an opportunity to make this sequoia bigger to compete with others. But in my opinion, the twin turbo v6 hybrid max engine will be the best engine in the near future. I have it in my tundra and it is an awesome engine. Very smooth, powerful and has so much torque in under 2k rpm.

[@Tha-inCars]

The car can be on all types of roads

[@rdr9519]

Be more specific because the best production engine in north America is the Chevy 5.5 LT6

[@theincredible9168]

This thing is badass. Im getting a new vehicle next year. Toyotas are known for being superior but the trunk space isnt worth it. They should make a version similar to the surburban, expedition max, yukon xl, ext. Currently I have decided on the surburban with diesel engine.

[@danb3980]

can you option in rear TV's ?

[@andrewgonick]

They need to make a stretched version like the suburban. If they did that, I would order today.

[@TeXasDadBod]

A luxury Toyota is called Lexus. This should just be called the Toyota Delusion trim .

[@w-josh]

Really every manufacturer because full size suvs might as well be at this point since most of them have a starting price at 60K+

[@RangeRoland]

To me, it’s about the price point. Lexus GX and TX have more luxurious exterior and interior design but they also have more plastic inside than the Sequoia. The dash on the TX also a bit loose when I grab and shake it a bit.

[@dothedishes3427]

​@@w-josh cloth , non power seats with Corolla level audio. Yeah base model... That said a Sequoia Interceptor Edition might spark a lot of interest.

[@normanli7085]

​@RangeRoland, mmm, honestly, the Toyota versions, including the sequoia, have more luxurious interiors, while the Lexus Exteriors aren't more luxurious on the outside

[@moneypenny174]

I like this car but I have heard criticisms about the drivetrain in previous model years.

[@snacking5908]

So glad that they actually measure the cargo area. Giving people the volume means absolutely nothing. That’s only numbers for the auto makers to brag about pointless measurements

[@jefferybaxter1225]

Good morning gentlemen. Good review video for the 2025 Toyota Sequoia. An additional trim level is always good for any vehicle and that was nice Toyota added one for the 2025 model year. Another additional thing was the massaging seats. That'll be needed for a vehicle like this one. Due to the fact that Toyota made the Sequoia to compete with the other full size SUVs, they came up short though. They came up short by not having overall interior space and not having enough cargo space. Generally speaking, they should've made the overall length of the vehicle 210 inches long. That's the same length for the Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Ford Expedition. Jeep Wagoneer comes in at 214 inches long. This is why these competitor vehicles have more overall passenger space and more cargo space over the Sequoia. As for cargo space, even the Toyota Grand Highlander has more cargo space than the Sequoia and that's a smaller vehicle. Another blemish for the Sequoia is that the second row seats are fixed in. Can't be moved via sliding back and forth. Hopefully for the next generation Sequoia, Toyota might address these blemishes. If they do, that would be great!

[@wowmawc]

For all its faults, its the best looking one in that bracket. Best drive too imo. Really hope they just went with a normal v6 twin turbo non hybrid and avoided the storage problems.

[@Slythey]

No one who has any experience driving other fullsize SUVs would say this Sequoia has the best drive- it's simply false, uninformed and or biased information. The ride quality is among the lowest of this segment- it's worse than the outgoing Seqoia that was over 15 years old.

[@wowmawc]

@@Slythey Thats why i said drive and not ride quality. lmao, this is easily the most nimble and the vehicle that has the most punch in its segment.

[@Slythey]

@wowmawc no one is buying a fullsize suv to be nimble and if they wanted that they'd get a real Land cruiser with KDSS. You're creating a metric that doesn't exist so this mediocre, poorly engineered product can look like it's relevant when it isnt

[@joegrahe3958]

Owned a Gen 1- did not get a Gen 2 because of the cheap interior. This one looks only a bit less plasticky. Overall for the $$$ there are several better options in my opinion. The weird set-up alone for the 3rd row is enough to make this a pass for me. Looks good though...

[@aleksanderboczek6731]

Yes you are right, interior look very cheap compared to other cars same class

[@JoseR-bw2gs]

I think it’s a great SUV. I am on my second 3rd generation Sequoia.

[@frankbiz]

A little disappointed in the rear cargo and seating, the Grand Highlander iForce Max seems to be a better choice especially in mpg ratings if you don't need that much towing capacity. Also in your noise level test, how come the Capstone is much louder than the Limited or Platinum trims?

[@alanaugust8853]

Because of the 22 inch wheels.

[@frankbiz]

[@homelessmillionaire1]

[@yokay171]

This vehicle really needs improvement.. was looking to lease it but when I saw the trunk space and the 3rd row seating I decided to go with the wagoneer. way better trunk space and much better 3rd row seating for adults.. really spacious and comfortable. I think Toyota designers are missing something in their brains .. I'm very happy with the wagoneer from right quality quit cabin smooth drive and huge space . Only thing I like from the Toyota is the handsome look

[@RSwrightMD]

Excellent review. Thank you. Very similar to the LX 600 but more room. Similar luxury.

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

17:02 the worst use of cargo space , a big hole between the 2 nd /3rd row , pluses .. solid rear axle , shorter wheel base and grille over the tundra and the 7.25 ' cargo load floor so no need for a roof top tent , as most crew cabs have 5.5'box and have to buy a camper topper or rack and roof top tent

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

My neighbor is the general manager for the local Toyota dealer and he’s been asking me nearly daily to sell my wife’s 2021 Sequoia Limited 4x4. Offering me 5k more than market value. Says he’ll sell me a new Sequoia $2,500 under invoice. Giving away all of his holdback. It’s tempting, but the new Sequoia’s seats are rock hard whereas as my 2021 seats are plush and you sink into them.

The one item that needs to be said is the 10-speed transmission is unique to Toyota and their own. Ford & GM have the same (shared 10-speed) which a major failure. Personally having had to replace and rebuild the Ford 10-speed transmission with a cost of 5 - 7 $K (CAD). Toyota has a solid 10-speed. Speak with your local transmission shop and see which vehicles they work on the most. Both GM & Ford will need a rebuild from 60,000 KM to 120,000 KM. beware of the 10-speed transmission from GM & Ford. I have always driven a GM or Ford but now looking for other options. Great review guys, I'm new to your channel. Thanks from Canada !

[@lindationsadventures]

the trunk space killed it for me

[@theofficialpeterkim]

Take out the hybrid system, extend the wheelbase then you’ll have a good usable 3rd row and cargo area. The V6TT is plenty of power.

[@RossVesci]

What model is this one

[@josephpayton2055]

My aunts have a 2024 capstone, it’s really nice. Don’t let that V6 fool you, that truck will get up and move and sounds so brawny. And it moves in style, boy does this look really good. Better than the Tahoe imo. Especially this black on black one. Features are adequate for the price but Toyota should really invest in an air suspension for the front and rear. Because my aunt has a capstone those 22’s can feel harsh on big bumps or uneven roads. Not the worst ride quality of course but not as good as it can be. Space isn’t a problem for them either because they don’t use the 3rd row however, Toyota should’ve stuck with the independent axel (I think that’s what it called correct me if I’m wrong) that was on the previous. This behemoth of a vehicle with that little bit of cargo room behind the 3rd row is crazy because the smaller brother, the grand highlander which is dimensionally smaller in size has more interior space than this and the similarly Price on certain trims Lexus TX.

[@Chicagoguy1973]

Nice, but for the money no. The cargo area absolutely kills it for me. This vehicle really should have been the new Land Cruiser. The new Land Cruiser should just be a new overall vehicle since it’s so much smaller than what a LC usually is. Plus the new LC is seriously way overpriced as well. Looking forward to the 4Runner review, hopefully Toyota didn’t miss the mark. I still have my 2005 and it may be time to trade it in..

[@ajuarezh]

Nooooo don’t do that, keep your 2005 4Runner, update it (grill, headlights, taillights, rims, suspension lift maybe, head unit, install some usb chargers, electronic rear view mirror and some led interior lights, paint correction) for about $5,000 tops or less

[@chibbyylol]

Fun note: The Land Cruiser 250 (in the US) is more or less the same size as the Land Cruiser overseas. It's about an inch shorter but same width and is an inch wider. Same wheelbase

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Absolutely not. The new generation Sequoia has WAY less room than the previous generation Sequoia. It has JUST 10 Cubic feet behind the third row compared to like 21-24 cubic feet in the Tahoe and Grand Highlander. There are many problems with the new generation compared to the old generation. It had reliability issues, engine issues with the twin turbo system and even issues with the I-Force Max Hybrid system. Plus, it doesn’t have a V8 anymore and has 3.5L TT V6 with the hybrid system which still gets poor MPG… sucks.

For an SUV this massive, I really would have thought Toyota would have sorted out the third row seating.
