Toyota Sequoia Full Size SUV at Dubai top 4x4 Dealer and Exporter

The Toyota Sequoia is a full size sport utility vehicle (SUV) available at Jim Autos Dubai. Introduced in 2000 and manufactured at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton, the Sequoia is the first vehicle from a Japanese marque in the popular mainstream full-sized SUV class in North America, and initial planning done by first-generation Sequoia chief engineer Kaoru Hosegawa aimed the Sequoia directly at the Ford Expedition, also competing with the Chevrolet Tahoe and the later Nissan Armada. The Sequoia slots in above the 4Runner and below the premium Land Cruiser in the North American Toyota SUV lineup, and is the largest SUV currently being produced under the Toyota brand, with the only larger SUV in Toyota's history being the Mega Cruiser.

The new model Sequoia is based on the new Tundra. However major differences with the Tundra include a fully boxed frame, a rear independent suspension featuring double wishbones with coil springs for improved ride comfort and room, and a locking center differential on 4-wheel drive models. The new suspension helps give the Sequoia a tighter turning radius of 19 ft (5.8 m) and allows for a fold-flat rear seat. Toyota stated the new frame is 70 percent more resistant to bending flex with torsional rigidity up 30 percent. However, the new model weighs more than 500 lb (227 kg) more than the previous Sequoia. The drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.35. Improvements include an optional ULEV-II compliant 381 horsepower 5.7 L 3UR-FE V8, mated to a 6-speed automatic.

The new Sequoia comes in three trim lines: the SR5 and Limited, and new Platinum. The base engine is the previous ULEV compliant 4.7 L 2UZ-FE 276 hp (206 kW) V8 featured from the previous generation. The 4.7 L is standard on the SR5, while the Limited and Platinum models come standard with a 5.7 L V8 engine. Four-wheel drive is available on all models. In Dubai it is available in three models:
