2016 Toyota Sequoia vs 2016 Chevy Tahoe

Value, Power and Cargo Space Highlight the 2016 Toyota Sequoia

With price tags to match their size, large SUVs represent a considerable investment, making price and value an important aspect of your car-buying decision. In this regard, the Toyota Sequoia possesses a significant advantage in this 2016 Toyota Sequoia vs 2016 Chevy Tahoe comparison with a more affordable price tag and overwhelming power. Standard Toyota Sequoia SR5 trim levels come well equipped and are priced starting at just $44,965 while Chevy Tahoe LS trim levels start at $47,000.

When it comes to power and performance, this comparison is no contest. Toyota Sequoia editions employ a Herculean 5.7-liter V-8 power platform that shells out 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. These elements allow for a maximum towing capacity of 7,400 pounds that is more than enough for family adventures. Under the hood of the standard Chevy Tahoe, you will find a 5.3-liter V-8 that manufactures a meager 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. A lighter design allows for exceptional towing, though the Chevy Tahoe will sacrifice ride quality in comparison to the Toyota Sequoia.

Family adventures mean you need plenty of space for sports equipment, camping gear and luggage as well as a place to put it. Cavernous cargo space is an asset of the large SUV segment and the Toyota Sequoia is one of the best. With 18.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, the Sequoia has more than enough room for short trips or day-to-day errands that can adapt to your needs and transform to a massive 120.1 cubic feet. By comparison, the Chevy Tahoe falls well short, providing only 15.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats and just 94.7 cubic feet of available cargo space.
