Default Sequoia vs Land Cruiser size comparison

I found this photo on instagram. Its obviously not the best quality and i assume it was taken somewhere in the Middle East.

The current Sequoia is bigger and has more cargo room than the current Land Cruiser.

One is an urban hauler and the other is a rural/offroad master. Apples and oranges, regardless of pricing.

True that ^
I am glad Toyota makes the Sequoia. I wouldn't want the LC to be bigger.

I knew the Sequoia was huge. I didn't think it was that much bigger though. Holy cow.

It's kind of interesting regarding the pricing of Land Cruiser and Sequoia.

The Cadillac STS was also smaller than the DTS but was more expensive.

As far as i know, I think these are the only two examples in which the smaller model from the same lineup costs more than the similar "bigger” brother.

Unless if we talk about sports cars, like the Scion TC and FR-S.

How about Land Rover? Isn't the LR4 much bigger than the RR Sport?

Don't forget the Mercedes GL-class vs. G-class. Their relationship is similar to the Sequoia and Land Crusier.

They are completely different vehicles. As PhilipMSPT said, the Sequoia is more of a family hauler/road vehicle. It was designed for carrying people in comfort. The LC is more rugged, it has a solid rear axle ( Sequoia has independent suspension ). It is better built than the Sequoia, after all it is more expensive. The LC200 is designed with off road abilities in mind. While it might not be made for hardcore rock crawler like a Jeep Wrangler for example, it is still designed for off road driving, and would make a very good expedition vehicle. The LC also has more off road gizmos ( It also sells more than the Sequoia world wide ). I was also told that the LC rides better than the Sequoia even though it has a solid rear axle.

Apples and oranges.

Sequoia doesn't sell well in UAE, from what I've seen.

Yeah Sequoia is a massive thing. Similar to size with the likes of the Expedition and Suburban both of which are much larger than the LC as well
