2022 Toyota Sequoia: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Toyota Sequoia is a carryover with no major changes from 2021. Its main significance is that it is the final year of the second-generation Sequoia before the fully redesigned 2023 model.
About the 2022 Toyota Sequoia
2nd generation (2008-2022), final year before the all-new third-generation 2023 redesign.
Toyota positions the 2022 Sequoia as a big, family-ready SUV that blends real towing and rough-road capability with roomy three-row comfort. The repeated themes in Toyota’s materials are capability, comfort, and spaciousness: room for up to eight, a strong V8, body-on-frame toughness, and enough day-to-day comfort for long trips. Compared with newer full-size rivals, this Sequoia leans more on proven truck-based hardware and Toyota durability than on cutting-edge cabin tech.
The 2022 lineup ranges from the family-focused, eight-seat SR5 to the more comfortable Limited and luxury-focused Platinum, which has an upgraded suspension, ventilated front seats, and rear-seat entertainment. TRD Sport adds road-focused suspension tuning, while TRD Pro is the trail-focused version with four-wheel drive, FOX shocks, and a front skid plate. Every trim uses a 5.7-liter V8 and six-speed automatic transmission.

2022 Toyota Sequoia Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2022 Toyota Sequoia.
4.1
2022 Toyota Sequoia
(37 reviews)
“The Sequoia is an excellent vehicle, roominess, power and appearance. Very comfortable and we feel safe on the road in this vehicle. Yes, the gas mileage is not great, but did not buy it for the gas mileage, wanted something safe and has 4 wheel drive for winter months.”
“The Sequoia is spacious, reliable, and the most affordable SUV in this comparable size category. It is a perfect fit for our family. Comparing it side-by-side to other SUVs speaks volumes about the value of this vehicle. I am very impressed with the size of the seats, legroom and headroom.”
