If you are in the market for a pre-owned SUV that delivers impressive interior space and versatility, Toyota has produced multiple models over the years that are sure to exceed your expectations. The Toyota sport utility vehicle lineup is one of the most complete on the market, and pre-owned Toyota SUVs offer many options to ensure that your family gets the right SUV for your active lifestyle and those Sunday morning hockey practices. Let’s take a look at four models in particular that stand out.
Toyota Sequoia
While the Sequoia was redesigned for 2023, there’s lots to like about the outgoing model. First of all, you have to love the interior space on offer; being based on a full-sized pickup the Sequoia’s wheelbase is 3,099 mm long, meaning there’s plenty of room inside for either seven or eight passengers. Fold the third row down, meanwhile, and there’s enough cargo room to store a number of hockey bags or plenty of camping gear. You’ll never be hard up for space in the Sequoia. You won’t be hard-up for power, either; the 5.7-litre iForce V8 is a deep-chested lump good for 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. All that power is transmitted to the four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission designed to take the stresses of off-roading and towing. There’s very little that’s going to stop the biggest of Toyota SUVs.
Toyota Highlander
The Highlander may be a little smaller than the Sequoia, but it’s a vehicle that makes the most of the space on offer. Available with three rows of seating, the Highlander quickly became one of the leaders in the three-row crossover segment thanks to the space and comfort it provides. Unlike the Sequoia, the Highlander is not a body-on-frame vehicle but one with unibody architecture shared with people movers like the Sienna minivan. That means in addition to all the space, ride comfort is also paramount with the Highlander feeling more like a car than a truck in terms of dynamics. Power-wise, look for Highlanders powered by a V6 or four-cylinder hybrid powertrain. That means you get the enviable choice of either more power or more efficiency, vastly opening up the number of vehicles available on the pre-owned market.
Toyota 4Runner
We transfer back to body-on-frame construction with the 4Runner, an SUV that also shares its chassis with a truck. In this case, that’s the ultra popular Toyota Tacoma, well known for the robustness of its powertrain. The same goes for the 4Runner, which means lots of peace-of-mind when it comes time to look for one on the pre-owned market. Both three-row and two-row models have been offered, each one powered by a 4.0-litre V6 engine good for 270 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough to cart the family around in comfort but also to conquer any steep off-road trails you may be aiming at on the way to a backcountry hiking trail. Add special TRD models with heavy-duty off-road shocks and forward crawl feature and you have an SUV that is a proper jack of all trades.
Toyota RAV4
It is no coincidence that the Toyota RAV4 is the best-selling SUV in Canada. It delivers impressive interior space combined with unwavering reliability and a long list of standard comfort and safety features. The RAV4 has one of the most generous back seats in its segment, and it offers over 1,000 litres of cargo space behind those rear seats. The RAV4 also delivers exceptional fuel economy, even when you opt for a pre-owned model. And with 203 horsepower under your right foot, you always have plenty of power. Better yet, get even better performance and improved efficiency without sacrificing interior space with a pre-owned Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.
