Overview

Competing in the fullsize SUV, the 2010 Toyota Sequoia goes up against other notable names in the class, like the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, the 2010 Ford Expedition, and the 2010 Nissan Armada. Spread across 3 trims, the Sequoia starts off at a base price of MSRP $39,030 and carries on to $59,405. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. Starting off is the 4.6L V8 and 6-speed shiftable automatic base engine, making 310 horsepower and 327 lb-ft of torque. This engine makes the Sequoia capable of accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph in just 8.6 seconds and carries the capability to tow 7,500 pounds. One can also opt for the bigger 5.7L V8 that is paired with the 6-speed shiftable automatic. With 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque, this engine gets you a towing capacity of 8,800 pounds. When buying a 2010 Toyota Sequoia SUV, one can expect an average price of $16,500. However, average savings of up to $561 are common. With nearly 11 units available in 9 striking colors, browse from our selection and take your 2010 Toyota Sequoia home today.

Buying Advice

One of the most spacious SUVs in the segment, the 2010 Sequoia is now more powerful than its predecessors, even with the base trim. Not only it drives well and handles fine, the new Sequoia is quite comfortable too, due to its tuned suspension setup, and quality seats. Mechanized with either of the rear-wheel drive and 4WD, the 2010 Toyota Sequoia is now also available with a premium sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, and iPod integration, which just makes the audiophiles more interested in this SUV. However, we strongly recommend the adults to settle on the 1st and 2nd rows only as the last row is just not made for them. In a nutshell, the 2010 Toyota Sequoia is a great buy for people looking for a spacious cozy car for large families.
