Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Outback than in the Toyota Sequoia. The Subaru Outback offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Sequoia, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Subaru Outback as you will with the Toyota Sequoia, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Subaru Outback is a better financial choice over the Toyota Sequoia, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Subaru Outback is much slimmer than the Toyota Sequoia, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Subaru Outback, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Toyota Sequoia.

Handling
The Subaru Outback has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Toyota Sequoia, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Toyota Sequoia is clearly the choice over the Subaru Outback for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Subaru Outback has a lot less horsepower than the Toyota Sequoia.

Powertrain
The Subaru Outback has much lower torque than the Toyota Sequoia, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Subaru Outback has less seating than the Toyota Sequoia, making the Toyota Sequoia the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Subaru Outback has less cargo space than the Toyota Sequoia, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
