The Sequoia is available with a choice of V-8 engines, including a 4.6-liter V-8 and a more powerful 5.7-liter V-8. The Sequoia can seat up to eight people.Expert ReviewBy Courtney MessenbaughMother Proof Oct 4, 2011 The 2011 Toyota Sequoia is a large SUV with a large price tag, but it adds some much-sought-after versatility, convenience and roominess to family-filled days in the car.A three-row SUV, the 2011 Sequoia is stylish without being ostentatious and it's filled with power, convenience and a variety of storage and seating options.The Sequoia was redesigned in 2008, and the 2011 model year doesn't add much to the SUV other than a new on/off button for the daytime running lights. As far as I'm concerned, the Sequoia doesn't need too many changes.My test car was the midlevel Limited trim with four-wheel drive. It comes with a 5.7-liter V-8 flex-fuel engine that delivers 381 horsepower. The Sequoia had no problems performing on the city streets and easily tackled a highway jaunt into the Rocky Mountains. I didn't take it off-roading, but rumor has it that the Sequoia also is competent on dirt, which is no surprise given its little brother, the 4Runner, is known for its great off-roading skills.. EPA estimates put the fuel economy at 12/17 mpg city/highway. When using ethanol, the Sequoia gets 9/12 mpg.The Sequoia's starting MSRP is $40,930, and the as-tested price for my test car was $55,255.EXTERIOR With a large chrome grille and boxy shape, the 2011 Sequoia is attractive without too much pomp. A standard roof rack, 20-inch wheels and a rear spoiler complete the sporty look of the Sequoia Limited. The roof rack and spoiler are standard across the line, but the entry-level trim comes with smaller wheels.
