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 love a full sized suv with 6 inches of cargo space behind the 3rd row.

[@craigroosa9321]

Lol ,, love it !

[@jdrein9511]

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

[@randomguy6745]

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.

[@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?

[@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

[@tahran5782]

Terrible the third row cannot fold down

[@Ryan2022]

Worst rear packaging ever. the only reason to buy this car is if you Have loyalty for Toyota and you really like the way it looks

[@eruptsrek2275]

Can’t fold down because the hybrid battery is underneath it. Unfortunate

[@moneypenny174]

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

[@tu6198]

It's pretty disappointing when a vehicle this large has minimal to no cargo space. While it may be great for hauling people around town, I can see myself getting frustrated during our annual road trip. Having to spend extra on a roof cargo carrier or even a hitch cargo box-which aren't cheap and can be unsafe-just feels like a hassle.

[@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...

[@Car_conversati0nz]

Love the Sequoia! I really like the updates they made for 2025, but the amount of space in the Tahoe makes it more attractive to me.

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

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

[@carscrazy9870]

Wait, so how did the Toyota Sequoia go from 120 ft.³ of space down to 87 ft.³ of space. In hindsight that is only 3 ft.³ more than the Toyota Highlander that says a lot.

[@JoseR-bw2gs]

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

[@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.

[@andrewgus8763]

This engine has failures and two blow up recalls, along with the new Tundra and Lexus models. I’ll stick to my 2020 Sequoia V8.

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

This. My neighbor is the general manager of the local Toyota dealer and he’s offered me 5k more than market value for my 2021 Limited 4x4. Apparently he can sell it for more than a 2024 model.

[@JokerG16]

i’m not a Yota fan boy by any means, but factually speaking, the Sequoia was spared from the recalls due to the hybrid battery being a fail safe in case the engine does go bad, which hasn’t affected the Sequoia much. I’m just being fair here

[@yDrewy]

How has your gas mileage been? No shade, just curious, I’ve been looking to get that year used if I can find one at a decent price.

[@radientproductions9799]

i love cars with 10k markups

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

You’re shopping at the wrong Toyota dealer. My local dealer is selling Sequoias at invoice.

[@LicPlate8VPL158]

i just feel like we shouldn't have to get a mortgage loan for a vehicle? especially one where their dealerships will add 25k on top of msrp?

[@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.

[@InternacionalBoxing]

You are an American with a small brain

[@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

[@chestophercolumbo4561]

Does it come with the current Tundra and Tacoma problems at no extra charge?

[@wowmawc]

No.

[@kayr3487]

No extra charges. You just pay taxes 😀

[@djqx]

Yup. It does. I hate my sequoia. Just waiting for the motor to blow up like the tundras. Hybrid or not, their new engines are garbage.

[@monarchbulldog2519]

​@@djqxwasn't that like a manufacturing issue that was recalled

[@stephencooper3583]

That cargo space is a deal breaker in a vehicle that big. Forget the Tahoe... even it's little sibling the Traverse has more cargo space - no exaggeration. Sure, you can load up the family for a road trip... as long as you don't bring any bags. 🤪

[@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

[@crazyone1067]

Third seat comfort and cargo space is a no. The new Armada beats this hands down.

[@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.

[@RandyZiemba]

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

[@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

[@kayr3487]

Can we expect recalls by summer?

[@rtygrest]

Naw, they got that figured out.

[@mr.c493]

This looks awesome but I absolutely love my 2018 sequoia. The room, comfort and the fact that is paid for is even better. Also the v8 is so smooth and powerful! This black sequoia looks amazing in my opinion!

[@greendusk93]

All that girth and the trunk space is still abysmal as hell. Try again, Toyota..

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@pjmccary]

Did they fix the trunk storage? If not it’s a no go for most families

[@josephsantangelo2801]

I thought about buying this over the summer. Went with a low mileage 2020 LX570 instead and spent about 20k less.

[@RSwrightMD]

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

[@cristrejos8699]

I own a Tahoe and I get the same exact mileage in city and highway as this truck

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

The Toyota Sequoia is a solid choice! It's a big SUV with plenty of room for family and gear. Plus, it's got a strong V8 engine and good towing capacity.

[@craigroosa9321]

V6 engine !

[@rtygrest]

No V8 after 2022

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video. 🤡

[@scknoll123]

I would buy one if it wasnt for the rear seat and cargo area

[@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.

[@davidcornejo2983]

I think this is one of the most terrible cargo spaces I have seen in a SUV. I want to give it to Toyota that the space is limited due to the spare tire below.

[@andrewgonick]

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

[@ogola-emmanuelziembelejerr9832]

They're doing so much to make sure people don't miss the full-size Land-Cruiser 300 Series.

I wish they would just make a Lexus version … a big brother to the GX … then let the LX focus on luxury only

[@TonyCordero-c4q]

Toyota all day everyday!

[@Ash-nz9hi]

Why buy this vehicle when you have substandard storage? Move the batteries, fold the seats flat, give us front and rear lockers.

[@LacDole]

They need to offer a 5-pass option like Ford does with the Expedition STX. The rear seat/battery pack combo is annoying.

[@firejs1000]

I'm feeling like 40,000 is pushing it for this vehicle. It would be solid for that price though and overpriced just several years back. :-)

[@123wsz]

It went backwards across the board So if anything it’s all all of you folks who had high hopes for this getting laughed at. If only you had listened to the Toyota hater…

[@kompanyx]

That pumped in fake audio is absolutely terrible. For a moment, I thought there was a Harley Davidson motorcycle riding near you. For a 'luxury' Platinum model, I would expect a quieter interior. Hopefully, that fake, pumped in audio can be turned off.

not loving this generation of Sequoia.....2nd row does not slide, like it should, 3rd row is tight and slides which makes no sense cuz it would eat into the cargo which makes it even tighter as it already it, it does not lay flat....complicated hybrid which does not help mileage....this car does not make sense! does not compare to the Tahoe.... ONLY TIME a Chevy beats Toyota!

[@icare7151]

We compared side by side towing with the v8 sequoia versus the new one. The V6 TwinTurbo, hybrid for towing is junk.

[@loletanguyen1987]

Having this named "Sequoia" is a big false advertisement.

[@Ezone_X]

1st of all, this is not Japanese truck, this is american made toyota truck, If u want a legit Japanese made truck, u americans have a option to go to new Y63 nissan PATROL, (rebadge as Y63 ARMADA in north america) that is way way! better than "Land Cruiser" (300 SERIES) and the size and space is idetical to this Sequoia but can fold flat the 3 row for cargo
