2017 Toyota Sequoia Engine Power

The Toyota Sequoia delivers a great deal of power with its 5.7L i-FORCE V8 engine that can deliver 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission that features uphill/downhill shift logic, as well as Tow/Haul mode. The added benefit is that if you’re heading out for an adventure and you don’t have enough cargo space open, the Toyota Sequoia can effectively tow up to 7,400 pounds.

Interior Space

The spacious interior has enough room to accommodate eight passengers over three rows. Each row of passengers gets more than 34 inches of headroom. In terms of legroom, front passengers get 42.5 inches, middle row gets 40.9 inches, and the third row gets 35.3 inches of room for their legs. There’s even 18.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. However, if you don’t need the last row for passengers, you can fold the seats down to boost your cargo space to 66.6 cubic feet.
