New Toyota Sequoia Review
The new Toyota Sequoia is part of the next generation lineup. These 3 row SUVs have never been better than they are now. This is due to the big three: performance, spaciousness and technology.
It starts with a hybrid iForce Max powertrain and continues across the lineup with a range of premium to luxury cabins.
What’s it like? Is this Toyota 3 Row a good first for your family? Check out this new Sequoia review to determine for yourself.
Performance
While the i-Force Max engine shines in the Tundra work truck, it finds an ideal home in the 2024 Toyota Sequoia. This spacious 3 row SUV provides the comfort of a living room on wheels, but it's far from ordinary for the family driver.
The i-Force Max engine is a marvel of refinement, boasting a pair of twin-turbochargers and an electric motor that collaboratively supercharge its performance. This innovative mild hybrid system yields an impressive 437 horsepower and a robust 583 lb-ft of torque. In terms of power and responsiveness, this 3 row SUV stands out, making passing on the highway or accelerating from 0 to 60 mph on the interstate a breeze.
To ensure that every morsel of this power is harnessed effectively, the powertrain is mated to a sophisticated 10-speed automatic transmission. This smart transmission is adept at managing torque for both slow-speed maneuvers and lightning-fast acceleration, resulting in a driving experience that's as dynamic as it is powerful.
If you thought the Sequoia was limited to road travel, you have to check out the TRD Off Road packages available for four-wheel drive editions of the SR5, Limited, and Platinum. The TRD Pro is the top of the pile with the maximum capability and off-roading equipment.
Utility
Ready for anything, the new Toyota Sequoia in Phoenix boasts an impressive tow rating of 9,000 pounds when properly equipped, making it capable of pulling substantial loads like a large boat or camper. Notably, the new Sequoia models are factory-equipped with power-adjustable towing mirrors, which can extend, retract, and fold as needed for convenience.
To make towing this full size SUV easier, a Tow Tech package offers advanced technology features. This includes the Trailer Backup Guide with Straight Path Assist for smoother reversing while towing.
Additionally, the new model features a more refined Panoramic View Monitor. This offers a rear split view to display both sides of the trailer and a top-down view to help the driver avoid obstacles like low-hanging branches or building overhangs. A hitch view makes it easier than ever to hook up the big rig to your trailer.
The 4x4 system provides off-road capabilities through features like a selectable locking differential, Multi-Terrain Select to adapt to different terrain types, and Downhill Assist Control for safe descents.
In 4WD Low, Crawl Control acts as a slow-speed cruise control, allowing the driver to concentrate on steering and terrain observation. For more about the latest off-roading features and trim levels, check out the 2026 Toyota Sequoia Review.
Interior
A range of standout features cater to different preferences on the new Toyota Sequoia in Phoenix. The well-equipped SR5 trim has tri-zone automatic climate controls, perfect for our hot summers. In addition, it has heated front seats and a panoramic view monitor.
SR5 Premium Sequoias step up the refinement with a larger 14-inch touchscreen and SofTex leatherette upholstery. It also features a convenient power-fold third row and a hands-free liftgate for easy access to this full size SUV cargo hold.
For those seeking an even more luxurious experience, the Limited, Platinum and Capstone models raise the bar again and again, bringing the highest quality leather and top amenities to the Sequoia lifestyle.
For Arizona summer days, it’s hard to beat the front ventilated seats in the Limited trim. This model even has sunshades for the second and third rows. However, the Platinum goes even further with its two rows of ventilated seats. When the days are cooler, you can enjoy a panoramic moonroof to capture interesting views of Arizona's landscapes.
Convenient financing at our Toyota dealership can put you in the Sequoia trim level of your choice.
Technology
Toyota's 3-row SUV boasts an intelligently designed driver's cockpit, complete with an 8-inch touchscreen perfectly complemented by a 12.3-inch digital instrument screen. Notably, the inclusion of Toyota's Panoramic View Monitor as a standard feature adds an exciting dimension to parking and maneuvering this sizable vehicle.
New Sequoia SUVs come with built-in Android Auto and Apple Carplay functionality, along with a convenient WiFi hotspot. With the right subscription, you can stream music from either Amazon or Apple Music.
Opting for the 14-inch touchscreen enhances the experience with cutting-edge voice recognition through an Intelligent Assistant. This "Hey Toyota” system is as easy to use as the one on your smartphone.
For those seeking the utmost in cockpit features, advanced configurations introduce a head-up display and a Qi wireless charger. Elevating your audio experience, a premium 14-speaker JBL sound system comes to life.
Additionally, the vehicle's advanced tech extends to off-road capabilities. The multi-terrain monitor can highlight challenging areas that may be hard to spot naturally. It certainly improves off-road visibility to aid your adventures.
Safety
Toyota prioritizes safety on the Toyota Sequoia SR5 in Phoenix, ensuring that every Sequoia driver enjoys the benefits of Toyota Safety Sense. It starts with adaptive cruise control, a full-speed system equipped with radar for precision. A lane departure alert with steering assist feature aids the driver in maintaining the safest possible trajectory during your journeys. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with forward collision warnings supported by an emergency autobrake system, complete with cyclist and pedestrian detection, adding an extra layer of protection.
Further strengthening the bond between driver and vehicle, the Sequoia SR5 includes a blind spot monitor to enhance awareness of vehicles in your blind spots, a rear cross-traffic alert system to prevent certain slow-maneuver collisions, and a parking assist feature to simplify tight parking situations. These comprehensive safety measures are thoughtfully integrated to ensure a secure and confident driving experience.
