The Range Rover’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Sequoia doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

Both the Range Rover and Sequoia have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The Range Rover has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The Sequoia’s child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

Full-time four-wheel drive is standard on the Range Rover. 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. Four-wheel drive of any type costs extra on the Sequoia.

For better protection of the passenger compartment, the Range Rover uses safety cell construction with a three-dimensional high-strength frame that surrounds the passenger compartment. It provides extra impact protection and a sturdy mounting location for door hardware and side impact beams. The Sequoia uses a body-on-frame design, which has no frame members above the floor of the vehicle.

Both the Range Rover and the Sequoia have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

Warranty

The Range Rover comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The Sequoia’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires 1 year or 14,000 miles sooner.

The Range Rover’s corrosion warranty is 1 year longer than the Sequoia’s (6 vs. 5 years).

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Range Rover third among large premium suvs in their 2023 Initial Quality Study. The Sequoia isn’t in the top three in its category.

Engine

The Range Rover P530’s standard 4.4 turbo V8 produces 86 more horsepower (523 vs. 437) than the Sequoia’s 3.4 turbo V6 hybrid. The Range Rover P550e’s standard 3.0 turbo/supercharged 6-cylinder hybrid produces 105 more horsepower (542 vs. 437) than the Sequoia’s 3.4 turbo V6 hybrid. The Range Rover SV’s standard 4.4 turbo V8 produces 169 more horsepower (606 vs. 437) than the Sequoia’s 3.4 turbo V6 hybrid.

As tested in Car and Driver the Range Rover P530 4.4 turbo V8 is faster than the Toyota Sequoia:

	Range Rover	Sequoia
Zero to 60 MPH	4.3 sec	5.6 sec
Zero to 100 MPH	10.6 sec	16.4 sec
5 to 60 MPH Rolling Start	5.1 sec	6.3 sec
Quarter Mile	12.8 sec	14.3 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile	109 MPH	94 MPH
Top Speed	155 MPH	107 MPH

Fuel Economy and Range

On the EPA test cycle the Range Rover P400 LWB running its gasoline engine gets better fuel mileage than the Sequoia 4x4 (18 city/24 hwy vs. 19 city/22 hwy).

Both the Range Rover and Sequoia have a standard automatic start/stop engine feature to stop unnecessary fuel waste and pollution at stoplights and heavy traffic. The Range Rover has a standard disable switch for the system, so a driver can keep the engine from shutting off when the vehicle stops temporarily.

The Range Rover’s standard fuel tank has 1.3 gallons more fuel capacity than the Sequoia (23.8 vs. 22.5 gallons).

Transmission

The Range Rover’s launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The Sequoia doesn’t offer launch control.

Brakes and Stopping

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

	Range Rover P400	Range Rover P550e/P530/SV	Sequoia
Front Rotors	14.9 inches	15.7 inches	13.9 inches
Rear Rotors	13.9 inches	14.5 inches	13.6 inches

The Range Rover stops shorter than the Sequoia:

	Range Rover	Sequoia
70 to 0 MPH	185 feet	194 feet	Car and Driver

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Range Rover has larger standard tires than the Sequoia (275/50R21 vs. 265/70R18).

The Range Rover’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Sequoia’s standard 70 series tires. The Range Rover’s optional tires have a lower 40 series profile than the Sequoia Capstone’s 50 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Range Rover has standard 21-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the Sequoia. The Range Rover’s optional 23-inch wheels are larger than the 22-inch wheels on the Sequoia Capstone.

Suspension and Handling

The Range Rover has standard front and rear stabilizer bars, which help keep the Range Rover flat and controlled during cornering. The Sequoia’s suspension doesn’t offer a rear stabilizer bar.

The Range Rover offers active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The Sequoia doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.

The front and rear suspension of the Range Rover uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the Sequoia, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

The Range Rover’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Sequoia doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For better maneuverability, the Range Rover SWB’s turning circle is 8.7 feet tighter than the Sequoia TRD Pro’s (35.9 feet vs. 44.6 feet).

For greater off-road capability the Range Rover has a 3 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the Sequoia (11.6 vs. 8.6 inches), allowing the Range Rover to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The Range Rover’s minimum ground clearance is 2.5 inches higher than on the Sequoia TRD Pro (11.6 vs. 9.1 inches).

Chassis

The Land Rover Range Rover may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 150 to 400 pounds less than the Toyota Sequoia.

The Range Rover SWB is 9.2 inches shorter than the Sequoia, making the Range Rover easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

Unibody construction lowers the Range Rover’s center of gravity significantly without reducing ground clearance. This contributes to better on the road handling and better off-road performance and stability. In addition, unibody construction makes the chassis stiffer, improving handling and reducing squeaks and rattles. The Sequoia doesn’t use unibody construction, but a body-on-frame design.

The Range Rover 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.

Passenger Space

Flexibility is maximized at the game, campground or a drive-in theatre in the Range Rover when its optional tailgating rear seats are deployed, allowing people to sit facing out of the tailgate. (Do not use while vehicle is in motion.) The Sequoia doesn’t offer tailgating seats.

Cargo Capacity

The Range Rover LWB’s cargo area provides more volume than the Sequoia.

	Range Rover	Sequoia
Second Seat Folded	92.9 cubic feet	86.9 cubic feet

Pressing a switch automatically lowers or raises the Range Rover’s second and third row seats, to make changing between cargo and passengers easier. The Sequoia doesn’t offer automatic folding second row seats.

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the Sequoia Limited/TRD Pro/Platinum/Capstone, the Range Rover has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The Range Rover’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Sequoia’s standard manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are optional on the Range Rover to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The Sequoia doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The Range Rover has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The Sequoia doesn’t offer headlight washers.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the Range Rover offers optional adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The Sequoia doesn’t offer cornering lights.

To better shield the driver and front passenger’s vision, the Range Rover has standard dual-element sun visors that can block glare from two directions simultaneously. The Sequoia doesn’t offer secondary sun visors.

The Range Rover has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel costs extra on the Sequoia.

The Range Rover offers optional massaging front and second row seats, which keep the driver and middle row passengers. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Sequoia.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Land Rover Range Rover has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the Sequoia and isn’t available on the Sequoia SR5.

The Range Rover’s Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The Sequoia doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

Recommendations

The Land Rover Range Rover outsold the Toyota Sequoia by over two to one during 2022.
