Having confidence in your SUV is key when planning an epic family adventure. Toyota engineers are always hard at work innovating and fine-tuning, and the Sequoia is a testament to their efforts. You’ll be prepared for whatever life has in store.
Engineering excellence is built into every Sequoia. The i-FORCE MAX 3.445L engine uses a Twin-Turbo V6 design to unleash impressive power, and the mild hybrid system provides an additional electric boost. Once you’re in the driver’s seat, you’ll be ready to dominate whatever lies ahead.
| Horsepower | 437 HP |
|---|---|
| Torque | 583 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 10-speed automatic |
| Standard Drive Modes | Eco, Sport, Normal |
| 4-Wheel Drivetrain | Available |
The power of the Sequoia is matched by impressive efficiency. When properly equipped, it achieves an EPA-estimated 21 city/24 highway MPG.* Every driver can appreciate improved fuel economy, especially in a full-size SUV—you can spend less time and money at the pump as you enjoy longer drives.
If you have a trailer, boat, or other large gear to haul, the Sequoia is ready to rise to the occasion. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 9,520 pounds of trailer weight. You can also bring tons of your favorite stuff on your weekend adventure—literally.
Cabin comfort matters when the entire family is coming along for the trip. Between everyone settling into their seats and fitting all their luggage and other essentials, it takes peak design to accommodate everyone and everything—that’s exactly how the Sequoia is built.
The Sequoia seats eight passengers, enough to bring your entire crew of family and friends. When each seat is filled, everyone will have plenty of room to stretch out and get comfortable. Once everyone is settled in, you can enjoy the road trip in peace.

The Sequoia is full of possibilities, especially when you explore the options in its different trim levels. Its available amenities turn the cabin into an oasis where everyone looks forward to spending time. You’ll be eager to plan your next trip when these options are built into your model:
- Heated and ventilated front and rear seats
- 10-way power driver’s seat with memory
- 120V AC power outlets
- Wireless charging station
- Power panoramic roof
Modern driving calls for a vehicle that goes beyond mere strength—it needs to be smart, too. The Sequoia makes every drive more fun and secure thanks to its wide variety of state-of-the-art technologies—they’re easily a highlight of every trip.
Once you’re buckled in, the Toyota Audio Multimedia infotainment system is at your command. It comes with a centrally located screen, including an available 14-inch touch display for easy readouts and controls. It includes standard wireless smartphone connection through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to stay connected to messages, apps, and more.
Drivers seeking even more cutting-edge systems will have plenty of options. The available JBL® premium audio system uses 14 speakers, including a subwoofer and amplifier, to turn the Sequoia into a traveling concert venue. The available 10-inch Head-Up Display projects essential driving info directly onto the windshield for convenient access that’s easy to read while you maintain focus.
Today’s vehicles are safer than ever, thanks to the advanced help of driver-assistive technology. Toyota is leading the charge with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5, which comes standard in the Sequoia. This collection of safety features works in the background along with your safe driving habits for an extra advantage if the unexpected happens:
- Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Automatic High Beams
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
The Sequoia features highly refined engineering that maximizes capability. When put toe to toe (or is that tow to tow?) with the Tahoe, the Sequoia unleashes more sheer potential. The boost in horsepower and towing ability are impressive enough, and its improved fuel efficiency further cements the Sequoia as the smarter choice..
