Standard features include fog lights, a power moonroof, roof rack, and 18-inch alloy wheels. As you move up through the trim levels, you’ll find a power liftgate, 20-inch wheels, and much more.

Compared with other full-size SUVs, that’s fairly average, but with so many larger crossovers on the market offering much more decent numbers, the Sequoia’s lack of efficiency may turn some drivers away.
