Compare the2023 Jeep WagoneerVS 2022 Toyota Sequoia

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Wagoneer are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

The Wagoneer has standard Active Headrests, which use a specially designed headrest to protect the driver and front passenger from whiplash. During a rear-end collision, the Active Headrests system moves the headrests forward to prevent neck and spine injuries. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The Wagoneer has standard Park Assist with Rear Stop that uses rear sensors to monitor and automatically apply the brakes to prevent a rear collision. The Sequoia doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

Full-time four-wheel drive is optional on the Wagoneer. Full-time four-wheel drive gives added traction for safety in all conditions, not just off-road, like the only system available on the Sequoia.

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the Wagoneer’s optional Hill Descent Control allows you to creep down safely. The Sequoia doesn’t offer Hill Descent Control.

A passive infrared night vision system optional on the Wagoneer Grand helps the driver to more easily detect people, animals or other objects in front of the vehicle at night. Using an infrared camera to detect heat, the system then displays the image on a monitor in the dashboard. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a night vision system.

The Wagoneer offers an optional 360-degree camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Sequoia only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

Both the Wagoneer and the Sequoia have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning, available lane departure warning systems and driver alert monitors.

Jeep pays for scheduled maintenance on the Wagoneer for 3 years and -25000 miles longer than Toyota pays for maintenance for the Sequoia (5/unlimited vs. 2/25000).

There are almost 2 times as many Jeep dealers as there are Toyota dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Wagoneer’s warranty.

To reliably power the ignition and other systems and to recharge the battery, the Wagoneer has a standard 240-amp alternator (230-amp - Wagoneer 6-cylinder). The Sequoia’s 180-amp alternator isn’t as powerful.

To reliably start during all conditions and help handle large electrical loads, the Wagoneer has a standard 730-amp battery (900 6-cylinder). The Sequoia’s 710-amp battery isn’t as powerful.

The Wagoneer’s standard 5.7 V8 hybrid produces 11 more horsepower (392 vs. 381) and 3 lbs.-ft. more torque (404 vs. 401) than the Sequoia’s 5.7 DOHC V8. The Wagoneer’s optional 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder produces 39 more horsepower (420 vs. 381) and 67 lbs.-ft. more torque (468 vs. 401) than the Sequoia’s 5.7 DOHC V8. The Grand Wagoneer’s standard 6.4 V8 produces 90 more horsepower (471 vs. 381) and 54 lbs.-ft. more torque (455 vs. 401) than the Sequoia’s 5.7 DOHC V8. The Grand Wagoneer’s standard 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder produces 129 more horsepower (510 vs. 381) and 99 lbs.-ft. more torque (500 vs. 401) than the Sequoia’s 5.7 DOHC V8.

As tested in Car and Driver the Grand Wagoneer 6.4 V8 is faster than the Toyota Sequoia:

	Wagoneer	Sequoia
Zero to 60 MPH	5.4 sec	6.7 sec
Zero to 100 MPH	13.7 sec	18.2 sec
5 to 60 MPH Rolling Start	5.8 sec	6.9 sec
Passing 30 to 50 MPH	3.2 sec	3.7 sec
Passing 50 to 70 MPH	3.8 sec	4.5 sec
Quarter Mile	13.9 sec	15.3 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile	101 MPH	93 MPH

On the EPA test cycle the Wagoneer gets better mileage than the Sequoia:

			MPG
Wagoneer
	RWD	3.0 turbo 6-cyl.	17 city/24 hwy
		5.7 V8 Hybrid	16 city/22 hwy
	AWD	3.0 turbo 6-cyl.	16 city/23 hwy
		5.7 V8 Hybrid	15 city/20 hwy
		Grand Wagoneer 3.0 turbo 6-cyl.	14 city/20 hwy
		6.4 OHV V8	13 city/18 hwy
Sequoia
	RWD	5.7 DOHC V8	13 city/17 hwy
	AWD	5.7 DOHC V8	13 city/17 hwy

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Wagoneer V8’s fuel efficiency. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

Regenerative brakes improve the Wagoneer 5.7 Hemi’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

In heavy traffic or at stoplights the Wagoneer’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip. The Sequoia doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.

The Wagoneer has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

An eight-speed automatic is standard on the Jeep Wagoneer, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only a six-speed automatic is available for the Sequoia.

For better stopping power the Wagoneer’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Sequoia:

	Wagoneer	Sequoia
Front Rotors	14.9 inches	13.9 inches
Rear Rotors	14.8 inches	13.6 inches

The Wagoneer stops shorter than the Sequoia:

	Wagoneer	Sequoia
60 to 0 MPH	134 feet	139 feet	Motor Trend

For better traction, the Wagoneer’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Sequoia (285/45R22 vs. 275/65R18).

The Wagoneer’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Sequoia TRD Sport/Limited/Nightshade’s 55 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Wagoneer offers optional 22-inch wheels. The Sequoia’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.

The Jeep Wagoneer’s wheels have 6 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength. The Toyota Sequoia only has 5 wheel lugs per wheel.

The Wagoneer has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Sequoia doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

The Wagoneer offers an optional driver-adjustable suspension system. It allows the driver to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads or off-road. The Sequoia’s suspension doesn’t offer adjustable shock absorbers.

The Grand Wagoneer Series III executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the Sequoia Limited 4x4 (29.2 seconds @ .57 average G’s vs. 29.8 seconds @ .55 average G’s).

The front grille of the Wagoneer uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Sequoia doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Wagoneer uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Sequoia doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

As tested by Car and Driver while at idle, the interior of the Grand Wagoneer Series II is quieter than the Sequoia 4x4 (40 vs. 45 dB).

The Wagoneer has 6.5 inches more front headroom, .9 inches more front hip room, 5.1 inches more rear headroom, 1.8 inches more rear legroom, 3.1 inches more rear hip room, 4.5 inches more third row headroom, 1.3 inches more third row legroom and 1.2 inches more third row hip room than the Sequoia.

The Wagoneer’s cargo area provides more volume than the Sequoia.

	Wagoneer	Sequoia
Behind Third Seat	27.4 cubic feet	18.9 cubic feet
Third Seat Folded	70.8 cubic feet	66.6 cubic feet

The Wagoneer’s cargo area is larger than the Sequoia’s in almost every dimension:

	Wagoneer	Sequoia
Length to seat (3rd/2nd/1st)	24.8”/58.7”/93”	18.5”/52.5”/90.5”
Max Width	51.4”	54.5”
Min Width	51.3”	50”
Height	36.5”	36”

Pressing a button automatically lowers the Wagoneer’s optional second and third row seats, to make changing between passengers and cargo easier. The Sequoia doesn’t offer automatic folding second row seats.

To make loading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the Wagoneer’s liftgate can be opened and closed just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands completely free. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a hands-free gesture to open its liftgate, forcing you to put cargo down if your hands are full.

Maximum trailer towing in the Toyota Sequoia is limited to 7400 pounds. The Wagoneer offers up to a 10,000 lbs. towing capacity.

The Wagoneer has a much higher standard payload capacity than the Sequoia (1510 vs. 1250 lbs.).

The Wagoneer has a much higher maximum payload capacity than the Sequoia (1560 vs. 1350 lbs.).

The engine computer on the Wagoneer automatically engages the starter until the car starts with one twist of the key and disables the starter while the engine is running. The Sequoia’s starter can be accidentally engaged while the engine is running, making a grinding noise and possibly damaging the starter and ring gear.

Unlike the driver-only memory seat and mirrors in the Sequoia, the Wagoneer Grand offers an optional passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position, foot pedal distance, outside mirror angle and radio stations and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The Wagoneer offers an optional heads-up display that projects speed, tachometer and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The Wagoneer’s power parking brake sets with one touch and releases with one touch or automatically. The Sequoia’s parking brake has to be released manually.

The power windows standard on both the Wagoneer and the Sequoia have locks to prevent small children from operating them. When the lock on the Wagoneer is engaged the driver can still operate all of the windows, for instance to close one opened by a child. The Sequoia prevents the driver from operating the other windows just as it does the other passengers.

The Wagoneer’s power window, power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night. The Sequoia’s power window (except driver window), power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are unlit, making them difficult to find at night and operate safely.

The Wagoneer has a standard locking fuel door with a remote release located convenient to the driver. A locking fuel door helps prevent fuel theft and vandalism, such as sugar in the tank. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a locking fuel door.

The Wagoneer’s standard speed-sensitive wipers speed up when the vehicle does, so that the driver doesn’t have to continually adjust the speed of the wipers. The Sequoia’s manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted. The Wagoneer’s optional wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield.

Consumer Reports rated the Wagoneer’s headlight performance “Very Good,” a higher rating than the Sequoia’s headlights, which were rated “Good.”

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the Wagoneer offers optional cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The Sequoia doesn’t offer cornering lights.

The Wagoneer’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The Sequoia’s power mirror controls are on the dash where they are possibly hidden by the steering wheel and are awkward to manipulate.

When the Wagoneer is put in reverse, both rearview mirrors tilt from their original position. This gives the driver a better view of the curb during parallel parking maneuvers. Shifting out of reverse puts the mirrors into their original positions. The Sequoia’s mirrors don’t automatically adjust for backing.

The Wagoneer has standard front air conditioned seats and the Wagoneer Grand Series III also has them in the second row. This keeps the passengers comfortable and takes the sting out of hot seats in summer. The Sequoia doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

On extremely cold winter days, the Wagoneer’s standard heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the vehicle heater warms up. The Sequoia doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

The Wagoneer Grand has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Sequoia.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Jeep Wagoneer offers an optional wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. The Sequoia doesn’t offer wireless personal charging.

The Wagoneer’s optional ParkSense Automated Parking can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling the transmission and speed with the brake pedal. With its available fully controlled system, the driver just activates it and it parks autonomously, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The Sequoia doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Wagoneer first among large suvs in owner reported satisfaction. This includes how well the vehicle performs and satisfies its owner’s expectations. The Sequoia isn’t in the top three.

The Jeep Wagoneer outsold the Toyota Sequoia by over 19 to one during the 2022 model year.
