The 2008 Toyota Sequoia features vast interior room and high-quality materials.

The 2008 Toyota Sequoia has some upscale interior pieces that reviewers across the Web noted. Road & Track gushes about the “yards upon yards of rich feeling (and smelling) high-quality leather” in the Toyota; 2008’s interior is “a triumph of ergonomics, storage bins and family-friendly conveniences,” Edmunds reports. ForbesAutos says, “the driving position is upright, visibility is excellent, the seats are a bit soft but still supportive.” That being said, Edmunds does find fault with “inconsistent gaps and color mismatches among a couple parts and panels.”

Comfort in the new 2008 Toyota Sequoia is also nothing to worry about. The car’s cavernous dimensions making finding storage space a breeze. Motor Trend “found the Toyota very roomy and comfortable,” and Autoblog notes that “there’s storage all over the place for the second- and third-row passengers.” Cars.com says, “The Sequoia can seat up to eight people in its three rows of seats,” and “The second row slides out of the way when you lift a lever, which makes it easy to get to the third-row seats.” ForbesAutos says that the second row “slides fore and aft to allow maximum legroom in the second row when the third row is unoccupied.” Automobile jokes that it’s “an alternative to a motorhome, with space for eight family members and every convenience but beds.”

Size is the killer application of this Toyota; 2008’s Sequoia has “adult-adequate” third-row seats, ConsumerGuide says, and “enormous door openings aid entry and exit.” Cars.com also likes the third row: “The flat-folding third row's backrest reclines, and the seat can have power operation.” ForbesAutos says it’s "notably more spacious and easier to access than GM’s similarly sized Chevrolet Tahoe or GMC Yukon, as well as Ford’s Expedition.”

Conclusion

The 2008 Toyota Sequoia has exceptional interior room, and quality is typical Toyota.

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.
