Interior Design And Technology
Toyota updated the interior of the third generation Sequoia to make it appear incredibly modern, large, durable, and fresh. Even for young children, getting in and out of the Toyota SUV is made simple by the spacious door apertures and side stairs. The Sequoia’s three rows are roomy and welcoming. For lengthy trips, though, the Grand Highlander might be a better fit for transporting passengers. The materials have a high-end feel to them and the dashboard design is visually striking. The knobs, switches, and buttons are incredibly simple to operate because to their clear labelling and organisation. The touchscreen is simple to use and the driver’s gauge cluster is easily adjustable.
Comparatively speaking, the fifth-generation Tahoe’s interior is just as well-equipped as the Sequoia’s. The first, second, and third rows of seats all have plenty of headroom, and the wide door openings make it simple to enter and exit. Many adjustments are available for the steering wheel and driver’s seat to accommodate different types of drivers. Although there is excellent sight, it is challenging to see what is directly ahead due to the lofty front end. Nevertheless, the layout of the dashboard is not user-friendly since a push-button gear shifter positioned on the dash required the relocation of numerous controls, which made it challenging to access the other controls.
