The 2026 Toyota Sequoia
The 2026 Toyota Sequoia is Toyota's flagship full-size SUV, built on a body-on-frame platform shared with the Tundra and engineered for families who need three rows of seating, serious towing capability, and the confidence to leave the pavement behind. Every grade arrives with the i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain as standard equipment, making the Sequoia the only hybrid-powered full-size, body-on-frame SUV currently sold in the segment. For 2026, Toyota focused its updates on the cabin, adding new premium textured leather trim to the Capstone grade, transitioning the Limited to genuine leather-trimmed seating, and making power-folding third-row seats standard across the entire lineup. Massaging front seats are now standard on three grades, and the TRD Pro picks up an exclusive new exterior color. With six grades spanning the well-equipped SR5 to the trail-focused TRD Pro and the luxury-minded Capstone, the Sequoia offers a configuration for nearly every kind of full-size SUV buyer.
Performance
Every 2026 Sequoia is powered by the same i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, a 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 paired with an electric motor generator housed in the bell housing between the engine and the 10-speed automatic transmission. Combined output is 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, delivering the kind of pulling power that traditionally required a large-displacement V8. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the SR5 and Limited grades, with part-time four-wheel drive available on both, while part-time four-wheel drive comes standard on the Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro, and Capstone. The four-wheel drive system uses a transfer case operated by a selector on the center console.
Because the hybrid system does the heavy lifting at low speeds, the Sequoia posts fuel economy numbers that no V8-powered rival in the segment can match. EPA estimates come in at 21 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined for rear-wheel drive models, and 19 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined with four-wheel drive. Paired with the 22.5-gallon fuel tank, that translates to a driving range of roughly 495 miles for rear-wheel drive configurations and about 450 miles with four-wheel drive.
Properly equipped, the Sequoia is rated to tow up to 9,520 pounds, with maximum capacity varying by grade and drivetrain. A Class IV tow hitch receiver and an integrated trailer brake controller are standard, and TOW/HAUL and Tow+ drive modes adjust transmission behavior to keep loads under control on grades and loose surfaces. Available power-folding, extending, and retracting tow mirrors improve visibility behind a trailer, and available Adaptive Variable Suspension continuously adjusts damping for a more settled ride under load. Available Load-leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension, offered on the Platinum and Capstone, helps keep the Sequoia level when the cargo area or hitch is loaded.
Off-pavement, the TRD Pro and any grade equipped with the available TRD Off-Road Package add a meaningful hardware upgrade. Multi-Terrain Select tailors wheel-spin control to the surface underfoot, Crawl Control functions as a low-speed off-road cruise control with five selectable speeds, and Downhill Assist Control limits vehicle speed on steep descents. Those models also receive an electronically locking rear differential for added traction in four-wheel drive low range, along with Multi-Terrain Monitor, which puts front, rear, and side camera views on the center display at the press of a console button. Ground clearance measures 8.6 inches across most of the lineup and 9.1 inches on the TRD Pro.


Style and Technology
At 208.1 inches long, 79.6 inches wide, and riding on a 122.0-inch wheelbase, the Sequoia has genuine full-size presence. LED headlights and taillights are standard across the lineup, and grille treatments shift with the grade, from chrome accents on the luxury-oriented models to the TRD Pro's black "TOYOTA" heritage grille with an integrated LED light bar and amber marker lights. Wheel sizes range from 18-inch designs on the SR5 and TRD Pro to 20-inch wheels on the Limited, Platinum, and 1794 Edition, topping out with the Capstone's 22-inch dark chrome and machined-finish alloy wheels.
Inside, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is standard on every grade. The SR5 pairs it with an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, while a 14-inch touchscreen is standard from the Limited grade up. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard regardless of screen size. An eight-speaker audio system is standard on the SR5, and a 14-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system with subwoofer and amplifier is available on the Limited and standard on the Platinum and above. Select grades add Toyota's Intelligent Assistant, which responds to "Hey Toyota" for voice-activated navigation, audio, and climate commands through an included Drive Connect trial subscription, along with cloud-based native navigation that receives over-the-air map and points-of-interest updates. Wireless device charging is available on the Limited and standard on higher grades, and the Capstone adds a 10-inch color head-up display.
Seating accommodates eight passengers with the standard second-row bench or seven with available second-row captain's chairs. New for 2026, power-folding third-row seats are standard on every grade. Front-row occupants get 41.2 inches of legroom, second-row passengers get 39.2 inches, and the third row offers up to 33.7 inches with the seat slid rearward. Tri-zone automatic climate control is standard on the SR5, and cargo capacity measures up to 22.3 cubic feet behind the third row, 49.0 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 86.9 cubic feet with both rear rows down. Available leather-trimmed front seats with 10-way power adjustment add integrated upper and lower body massage functions, controlled through the 14-inch touchscreen and usable whether the Sequoia is parked or moving.
