What Makes the Sequoia Different From a Minivan or Midsize SUV?
Body-on-frame construction, a hybrid twin-turbo V6 and real towing capability. The Sequoia is built on the same TNGA-F platform as the Tundra, which is why it can pull a large boat or travel trailer that would overwhelm a Grand Highlander. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid is standard on every grade, delivering 583 lb-ft of torque with the smoothness of electric assist in traffic. There is nothing to plug in.
Which Sequoia Grade Should You Compare?
Six grades cover work, family and luxury:
- SR5: the value entry with available 4x4 and the full hybrid powertrain
- Limited: SofTex-trimmed seating, a 14-inch touchscreen and a power liftgate
- Platinum and 1794 Edition: leather-trimmed seating, a JBL audio system and premium interior themes
- Capstone: the luxury flagship with semi-aniline leather and 22-inch wheels
- TRD Pro: FOX shocks, all-terrain tires and off-road hardware with 4x4 standard
Seating is seven or eight depending on the second-row configuration. Open each listing to confirm the grade, drivetrain and seating count.
How Should You Think About Seating and Cargo in the Sequoia?
The third row slides and reclines, and an adjustable cargo shelf system lets you create a flat load floor at different heights. With all three rows up, cargo space behind the third row is modest, so families who travel with a lot of gear often add a roof box or a hitch carrier. Fold the third row and the space opens up considerably. Our team can show you the shelf system in person; it is easier to understand hands-on.
How Does the Sequoia Compare With the Grand Highlander Hybrid and the Tundra Hybrid?
The Grand Highlander Hybrid is a unibody three-row SUV with more cargo space behind the third row and higher estimated fuel economy, but a tow rating of up to 5,000 pounds. The Sequoia nearly doubles that. If you tow heavy loads, the Sequoia is the choice; if you prioritize space and efficiency, compare the Grand Highlander Hybrid. Truck shoppers who like the Sequoia's powertrain should also look at the Tundra i-FORCE MAX, which shares the same hybrid V6 in a pickup body.
