Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2025 Toyota Sequoia
3rd generation (2023-present), third model year; lineup-expansion year with the new 1794 Edition.
Toyota presents the Sequoia as a full-size family SUV that mixes big towing strength, standard hybrid power, and upscale tech with a more adventurous personality than many rivals. Its core appeal is simple: strong torque, three rows, real towing capability, and a cabin that can swing from family-hauler duty to long-distance road trips. Toyota’s own messaging leans on “adventure in style,” meaning this is the brand’s large SUV for families who want utility and muscle without giving up modern safety and comfort.
The 2025 lineup ranges from the family-focused SR5 and Limited to the trail-ready TRD Pro, which has a locking rear differential, an off-road suspension, and an aluminum skid plate. The new 1794 Edition emphasizes long-trip comfort with massaging leather-trimmed front seats, walnut cabin trim, second-row captain's chairs, and trailer-backup aids. Capstone remains the most luxurious trim, with semi-aniline leather, quieter front-door glass, and 22-inch wheels.
