The Toyota Sequoia is a big car for big boys .... its design and engineering meet the needs of drivers looking for a full-size 4X4 which provides versatility to accommodate various usage needs, a spacious interior, powerful driving performance and a sense of security, while meeting the latest global standards on emissions and safety.
Intensive research and analyses were conducted to study the Gulf market before the brand was unveiled last year and its popularity has grown since its introduction.
The look and feel of the Toyota Sequoia has been designed to catch the eye while retaining the familiar stamp of the brand's quality.
Although fairly new to this market the Toyota Sequoia has been sold successfully in the United States and many parts of the world since 2000.
The engine, transmission and platform in the new Sequoia have been developed using cutting-edge technology to provide power performance, handling performance and driving performance that are top of their class.
The Toyota Sequoia features a 5.7 litre, V8 engine with 381 HP, which uses Chain Drive and Dual VVT-I (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) for more power and better fuel economy.
A new 6-speed super intelligent electronically controlled transmission (Al Shift) also fully utilises the engine torque and increases power, on-road acceleration and fuel efficiency.
Also, to make handling more stable and safer, systems such as Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC), Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) come as standard equipment in the all new Toyota Sequoia.
The spacious interior and cargo space dominate the competition with practical utility and versatility especially with seat configuration.
"The main objective was to produce a truly competitive full-size SUV with exceptional power, ride comfort and operability," the designers say.
The three models of the Sequoia - Platinum, Limited and SR5 start from BD15,200 to BD21,500.
