2015 Toyota Sequoia: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2015 Toyota Sequoia
2nd generation Sequoia (2008-2022), in the post-2014 update period; 2015 is the quiet follow-up year after the 2014 audio and feature update.
Toyota positions the Sequoia as a full-size family SUV for people who need real space, real towing strength, and real truck-based durability. Its core job is moving a big family and their gear while still being able to tow a boat or trailer. Compared with car-based three-row crossovers, the Sequoia leans on V8 power, a roomy cabin, strong towing hardware, and a fold-flat third row, while still aiming for a quiet, comfortable everyday drive.
The 2015 Sequoia remains a truck-based, three-row SUV built around a 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 and a six-speed automatic transmission. The SR5 covers family travel and towing basics, while the Limited adds heated leather-trimmed seats, parking sensors, and a power-folding third row. The Platinum adds a smoother-riding suspension, adaptive cruise control, built-in navigation, premium audio, and rear-seat entertainment.

“I live the size and luxurious feel of the Sequoia. It's a comfortable travel vehicle for our family. I also like the dependability of a Toyota.”
“In a vehicle of this quality and price range navigation should be a standard feature. Also, though I love the ease of use and intuitive controls of the base model radio, the lack of navigation and the poor sound quality mean I will be purchasing an aftermarket product to replace it.”
