Any car model that comes in three trim levels will offer a wide variety of optional features, but what sets the 2008 Toyota Sequoia apart is the number of standard features that appear on every car that comes off the production line. All three versions sport standard three-zone climate control, luxurious leather seats, and six-disc CD changer. Cars.com adds that standard features include “tri-zone automatic air conditioning, power windows and locks, keyless entry, a CD stereo, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel and cruise control." Options on this version include “a navigation system with…a backup camera, a DVD entertainment system…climate-controlled front seats, heated second-row seats, a power liftgate and a sunroof.”

The extensive additional features list begins to show on both the Limited and Platinum versions of the 2008 Toyota Sequoia. In these trim levels, buyers will find that the Limited includes additional leather and a 14-speaker JBL sound system that is capable of filling the entire cabin with high-quality audio. At the very top of the range lies the Toyota 2008 Sequoia Platinum, which ForbesAutos says “adds all-out luxury amenities, such as 20-inch alloy wheels” and “a navigation system with back-up camera.”

Rounding out the list of options and features is a controllable air suspension and a moonroof with full tilt and slide functionality. The only major drawback, TheCarConnection.com observes, is that instead of allowing for complete customization, the Toyota 2008 Sequoia is offered in three trim levels, within which options are limited.

Conclusion

The 2008 Toyota Sequoia can be outfitted as richly as you like, but the base version is well-trimmed.

Other Choices:

The Ford Expedition was redesigned a few years back with a more luxurious interior; it comes in standard or long-wheelbase editions. The same is true of the Chevrolet Suburban, which in short form is known as the Tahoe. The Nissan Armada comes with one wheelbase and one drivetrain, but its big V-8 makes the brassiest sound at speed.
