The design of this car can be described in one word : enormous. I used to think that the front of the Dodge Durango is big. and it is big, but pathetic compared to the Sequoia. The front looks glorious and strong, the doors are huge, the back is big, and it is so well proportioned that seen from a far distance the whole thing doesn't look so big, looks barely larger than a Toyota Fortuner.
The interior is also designed to look big, much like the GMCs: a big dashboard surrounding the driver, then another one beside it in a different colour, giving the driver some feel of independence. The front seats are big with an enormous armrest in between. The back seats and even the third row seats have a good legroom, which is rare in Japanese suvs. And they're a lot of storing spaces in the doors, in the roof, on the dashboard, in the back... It feels more like a family car.
So, it is big, heavy, comfortable and safe. and powerful: it has a 5.7 V8 engine producing 381 horsepowers, that's only 7 less than the Mercedes S500, and that's one of the very comfortable cars on the planet. And that's not the only thing you get as standard; you also get airbags everywhere, cruise control, a CD player, a back electric window and parking sensors, which are quite useful when you can't see where the front of the car is. It's good to keep in mind that the Nissan Armada, which is the same sort of car, doesn't come with sensors as standard, and that explains why I see many of them with a scratched front bumper.
In Saudi Arabia people like big family cars, which always were Land Cruisers in terms of Toyota, so almost everyone turned to the American suvs which offer more space and comfort. Now with the Sequoia, I think things will change a little, because many people like reliability as well as comfort, and the Sequoia does both perfectly; it's very comfortable and it's a Toyota. and for 125,000 SR in Saudi Arabia it's really a bargain, I mean, the Land Cruiser starts at around 150,000 SR.
