2015 Toyota Sequoia Review
Posted on March 27, 2015
Powerful cruising ability, acceleration in a snap and a hauling capacity that can only be described as maximum combine together to give you the 2015 Toyota Sequoia the only real choice in the full size SUV category. If that's not enough, it also has all the luxury you could want in a vehicle, plus comfort and safety for everyone inside. Toyota wanted to upgrade the full size SUV segment and it's done that with this year's Sequoia. With seating for up to 8, it comes in Sequoia SR5 5.7L, Sequoia 4WD Limited 5.7L and Sequoia 4WD Platinum 5.7L trim models.
Stunning Style
A metallic silver finish with chrome-coloured rings around the available Optitron gauges and climate control knobs give the 2015 Toyota Sequoia a dash of flair. A woodgrain and leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob in the Platinum is augmented by woodgrain trim. The 4-spoke steering wheel is ergonomically designed for maximum driving comfort. Both front seats come with heating capability while the driver's seat has 10-way power adjustment with power lumbar support. The front passenger seat offers 4-way power adjustment capability. Limited and Platinum models have a driver seat memory system. This stores all your adjustments, including exterior mirrors, so they're all made automatically when you get in. A voice-activated DVD navigation system featuring real-time traffic capability comes standard on the 2015 Toyota Sequoia Limited and Platinum models. It also features SMS-to-speech and email-to-speech functionality, advanced voice recognition. For added safety and convenience, a backup camera uses the navigation display to show what's behind you. Plus you can opt for the available AM/FM/CD 8-speaker audio system. It features integrated satellite radio and USB audio input. Meanwhile, the Limited has a 12-speaker system. For the ultimate audio experience, the Platinum comes with a JBL 14-speaker system.
On the exterior, the 2015 Toyota Sequoia's aerodynamically designed mirrors, wipers, A-pillar and roof header reduce wind drag and noise and enhance fuel efficiency and comfort. Its long, wide body looks sleek, yet it lets you know the Sequoia has plenty of muscle under the hood. Its bold headlamps and oversized side-view mirrors give the exterior a touch of heft while adding to its safety.
Proficient Performance
The Platinum model of the 2015 Toyota Sequoia boasts Load Levelling Rear Air Suspension and Adaptive Variable Suspension with Comfort, Normal and Sport settings. These features adorn the 2015 Toyota Sequoia to enhance ride comfort, plus boost heavy-load towing capability. It also serves to ensure appropriate ride height and chassis attitude while towing. One-Touch 4-Wheel Drive, and a Two-speed Transfer Case with a Lockable Torsen Limited-slip Differential are also featured on the Sequoia. You get smoother shifting thanks to the transfer case in the Sequoia using a six-gear planetary ring instead of the standard four-gear ring.
