For some reason I was looking up the Toyota Sequoia for for shits and giggles. This massive, 6k pound, rolling family room of a car is able to haul ass to 60mph from a dead stop in just under 6 seconds.

I notice this trend in quite few larger cars. These behemoths are able to drag race with entry level sports cars and win, allthewhile providing great comfort.
So if we take a look at car speed tiers they pretty much are aligned like this in order of fastest to slowest:
This Sequoia can race an a4 and it would be a toss up assuming both are auto.
Curious that this is the case. I would expect that they make the smaller lighter cars faster (at least the entry level luxury vehicle department).
