2002 Toyota Sequoia
Aside from a few additional
safety and convenience options on selected models, the
new 2002 Toyota Sequoia Sport Utility remains largely
unchanged for this year. The Sequoia is Toyota’s
largest and most powerful sport utility vehicle, and
like its small SUV and mid-size SUV counterparts, the
RAV4 and the 4Runner, it mounts a serious challenge
to its competitors due to Toyota’s steadfast reputation
and willingness to pack a lot of features into a vehicle
at an economical price for the consumer.
This year’s line
up offers four impressive models, each with a variety
of features to choose from: Sequoia SR5 Sport Utility,
Sequoia SR5 4WD Sport Utility, Sequoia Limited Sport
Utility, and Sequoia 4WD Sport Utility. All of them
have a seating capacity of eight passengers, so whether
you’re doing renovations on the house, car-pooling,
or loading up family and friends for an outing, you’ll
always have plenty of space for people, luggage, equipment,
and supplies. For even more cargo volume, the third
row seat can be removed. With four doors and the rear
lift gate, loading everyone and everything in and out
is easy.
The Toyota Sequoia SR5
Sport Utility starts us off with impressive performance
specifications such as a 4.7-litre 32-valve eight-cylinder
engine with 240 horsepower and 315 lbs-ft of torque.
The towing capacity is 6500 lbs, and each vehicle is
equipped with mud and snow SBR tires for a fierce grip
on the road. Standard transmission is four-speed automatic,
and this entry-level model has two-wheel rear drive.
Safety features in the
Sequoia SR5 Sport Utility cover a broad range of essentials
and are listed as ABS brakes, traction control, driver
depowered air bag, passenger depowered air bag, child
safety locks in the rear seating areas, and both front
and rear head restraints. Side impact air bags and front
fog lights are available as options.
The Sequoia SR5 Sport
Utility continues its impressive array of features with
a variety of luxuries and conveniences. Standards include
cruise control, power door locks, air conditioning,
remote lift gat release, and power windows. A rear wiper
and an AM/FM stereo with CD player are also standards.
A lengthy list of options
are available, namely a keyless entry system, power
tilt moonroof, roof rack, rear door privacy glass, dual
zone climate control, power-adjustable front captain’s
chairs, and numerous other functional and cosmetic upgrades.
Leather seating and color-keyed dual power mirrors are
available as packages. The theft deterrent system is
a port installed option.
Base invoice price: $27,824
Base list price: $31,265
Following in the footsteps
of the base model, the Toyota Sequoia SR5 4WD Sport
Utility echoes all the features and amenities and adds
to the jam-packed list four-wheel on-demand drive to
tackle more challenging terrain and weather conditions.
The extra four-on-the-floor power makes this model a
solid choice for a working vehicle or those with some
pretty steep back roads requirements!
Base invoice price: $30,965
Base list price: $34,795
Our third model, the
Toyota Sequoia Limited Sport Utility, takes the previous
model and piles on front fog lights, a keyless entry
system, dual power mirrors, and leather seating as standards.
The sound system has been upgraded, and a rear spoiler
added for sporty good looks. This is a two-wheel rear
drive vehicle.
Base invoice price: $35,070
Base list price: $39,405
The grand master of the
Toyota SUV line up is the Sequoia Limited 4WD Sport
Utility, an impressive vehicle amassing all the performance,
safety, and luxury amenities of the last model and is
again upgraded with four-wheel on-demand drive. All
of this at a pretty reasonable price tag, too.
Base invoice price: $37,811
Base list price: $42,725
