Used 2021 Toyota Sequoia SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Toyota Sequoia is available in six trim levels: SR5, TRD Sport, Limited, Nightshade Special Edition, TRD Pro and Platinum. Each is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 (381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque) paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the SR5, TRD Sport, Limited and Nightshade models. Four-wheel drive is available on those trims and standard on the Sequoia TRD Pro and Platinum. All Sequoias come with three rows of seating.

SR5
The base SR5 comes fairly well equipped. Standard features include:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED headlights and foglights
  • Sunroof
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

The Sequoia also includes several standard safety features and driver aids.

  • Toyota Safety Sense P
    • Pre-collision system (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
    • Dynamic radar cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Toyota and the car in front)
    • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
    • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Front and rear parking sensors

If you're looking at a Sequoia SR5, we suggest opting for the Premium package. It adds:

  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Power-folding third row
  • Upgraded audio system with navigation

TRD Sport
The Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport doesn't add any features. Instead it focuses on appearance and improved performance with:

  • 20-inch TRD Sport wheels
  • Black exterior trim, roof rack and badges
  • Sport-tuned Bilstein dampers
  • Stiffer anti-roll bars
  • Second-row captain's chairs
  • Optional Premium package

TRD Pro
The TRD Pro builds off the TRD Sport with even more off-road goodies and features. Those include:

  • Rigid Industries LED foglights
  • Skid plates
  • Fox shocks
  • 18-inch BBS wheels
  • Toyota logo grille
  • Black aluminum running boards
  • Power liftgate
  • JBL audio system

Limited
The midgrade Limited model ditches the off-road parts found on the TRD twins in favor of more creature comforts including:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Chrome exterior trim
  • Second-row bench seat (captain's chairs are available)
  • Heated front seats
  • Navigation

Nightshade Special Edition
The new Nightshade Edition mostly focuses on the Sequoia's looks. Consider it a sort of factory blackout package. Changes include:

  • Black 20-inch wheels
  • Dark chrome and black exterior trim
  • Second-row captain's chairs

Platinum
The top-of-the-line Platinum trim includes everything that's available on the SR5 and Limited models plus:

  • Adaptive suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Automatic high beams
  • Power-folding, heated exterior mirrors
  • Rear-seat entertainment system with a Blu-ray player
  • JBL audio system

Which Sequoia trim does Edmunds recommend?

The TRD Sport and TRD Pro trims are capable machines if you plan to do any off-roading. But for most people, we suggest going with the base SR5 trim with the available Premium package, which adds features including heated front seats and navigation.
