2016 Toyota Sequoia’s Vast Interior Space

Like a cozy den on wheels, the Toyota Sequoia is a serene, comfortable place for a family to bond while on the road. Its body contours reduce wind friction, and the overall exterior qualities have been modeled to minimize wind sounds, which helps hold the cabin quiet.

Wide rear doors ease passenger entry and exit as well as child seat installation. By folding the second and third-row seats down flat, the Sequoia can take up to 120.1 cubic feet of whatever items you need to carry -- up to 11 feet long. Extra-large cup and bottle holders outnumber passengers two to one, and the Platinum grade adds two more for good measure.

The 40:20:40 split second-row bench seat allows a variety of configurations, helped by the seat-sliding adjustment. The middle row folds flat down, and there’s a one-touch feature to make it easy for people to enter the back row. Plush second-row captain seats are available for a seven-seat cabin.

The third-row seat, which is quite generous for adults, is split 60:40. The third row also folds flat; a job made even more expedient by the available power tilting and folding element. The rear lift gate includes power sliding glass that can open independently, and the large cargo area is outfitted with easy to reach hooks for grocery bags.
