Toyota Sequoia 2007
Toyota Sequoia Gains New Safety System For 2007
2007 Toyota Sequoia full-size sport utility vehicle (SUV), recently named the quality leader in its segment, gains standard driver- and front-passenger seat-mounted side airbags and two-row curtain side airbags for 2007. These features previously had been optional.
Showcasing the brand's renowned quality, the Sequoia was named the "Highest Ranked Large Multi-Activity Vehicle (MAV)" in the 2006 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality StudySM.
Like all Toyota SUVs, 2007 Sequoia comes standard with the benefits of the STAR SAFETY SYSTEM, which includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and traction control (TRAC), an anti-lock brake system (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. (See page 2 for details.)
The eight-passenger Sequoia offers greater rear cargo capacity than either the Chevrolet Tahoe or the Ford Expedition. Minor trim changes for 2007 include a new color-keyed grille insert on the SR5 model and chrome rear view mirrors on the top-of-the-line Limited grade.
Toyota Sequoia is powered by the 4.7-liter i-Force V8 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i), the Sequoia V8 produces 273 horsepower and 314 lb-ft. of peak torque. The Sequoia is EPA-certified as an ultra-low emission vehicle (ULEV).
Sequoia is available in two model grades, the well-equipped SR5 and a Limited model that includes some features and amenities seen in luxury SUVs. Both grades are available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models. Overfenders and taillamps with clear-lens covers give Sequoia a rugged yet sophisticated appearance.
Sophisticated Dynamic Control with STAR SAFETY SYSTEM
Toyota engineered the Sequoia to address safety both in vehicle dynamics and occupant protection. The STAR SAFETY SYSTEM™, which is featured as standard on every Toyota SUV, includes VSC, TRAC, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist to help provide optimal vehicle control and driving safety.
Four-channel, four-sensor ABS helps to preserve steering control by preventing the wheels from locking under severe braking, while EBD distributes proper brake force between the front and rear wheels according to driving conditions. Brake Assist is designed to determine if the driver is attempting emergency braking and, if the driver has not stepped firmly enough on the brake pedal to engage the ABS, the system supplements the applied braking power.
VSC helps maintain directional stability during cornering by manipulating engine torque and individual wheel-braking influence when it detects tire slippage. The VSC system integrates traction control (two--wheel on 2WD and four-wheel on 4WD), which helps reduce tire slippage during acceleration.
Family-Ready Occupant Protection
Reinforced front and rear bumpers and a front crumple zone are designed to absorb and distribute collision impact forces.
