“We absolutely love our Sequoia. I can not wait to get to drive it. It is so very roomy, and the seats are so comfortable. The gas mileage could be better, but for the size of vehicle it is, we expected it to not be great.”
2014 Toyota Sequoia: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Toyota Sequoia is a light-update year, led by newer Entune infotainment systems becoming standard across the lineup. Its V8 powertrain, three-row layout, and basic trim structure carry over from 2013.
About the 2014 Toyota Sequoia
2nd generation (2008-2022), 2014 is a later pre-refresh year with an infotainment update rather than a redesign.
Toyota positions the Sequoia as a true full-size family SUV that still does real truck-based SUV jobs. Its core appeal is simple: room for up to eight people, strong V8 towing power, and a sturdy body-on-frame platform, but with a smoother ride and easier daily drivability than many big SUV rivals. It is aimed at families who need road-trip space, towing strength, and everyday durability in one vehicle.
The SR5 is the practical eight-seat version, with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, tri-zone climate control, a moonroof, and towing equipment. Limited adds family-friendly comforts such as heated leather seats, parking sensors, a power liftgate, and a power-folding third row, while Platinum brings navigation, adaptive cruise control, rear Blu-ray entertainment, and a comfort-focused suspension.

“I love the cargo capacity and ability to bring our family, pets, and others if need be. We can tow most things as well. The only potential downfall at this point is the gas mileage.”
