2026 Toyota Sequoia

Overview

The Toyota Sequoia is the automaker's answer to all of America’s truck-based three-row SUVs. Like others in the class, it offers bold styling and off-road capability — especially in rough-and-tumble TRD Pro trim; the Sequoia separates itself from the bunch with a standard hybrid powertrain. We appreciate the Sequoia for its strong acceleration and stable handling on the road, along with exemplary fuel economy. Though it's ultimately not as spacious as its rivals, the Sequoia leans on its other strengths to entice shoppers with large families.

Edmunds spotlight: The TRD Pro

The standout of all the Toyota Sequoia models is the TRD Pro. It looks the part of a serious off-roader with all-terrain tires and a ton of other visual tweaks, but the Pro backs it up with extra hardware like big skid plates and a unique suspension setup. If you’re interested in hitting the trails with your SUV, this is the best way to do it.

Competitors to consider

While the Sequoia occupies a unique space as a truck-based SUV with hybrid power, there are still plenty of solid non-hybrid options to consider. The obvious choice is the Chevy Tahoe, which received a comprehensive tech update in 2025 and offers more passenger space than the Toyota. Additionally, Ford brought a new Expedition to the market in 2025 with a much-improved interior and an off-road Tremor variant that competes against the mighty Sequoia TRD Pro.

The Toyota Sequoia isn't our favorite SUV, but its rugged capability and hybrid engine produce a winning recipe that may win over some shoppers.
