Performance is anchored by the i-FORCE MAX 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine paired with an electric motor. Together, this system produces a combined 437 horsepower and a massive 583 lb-ft of torque. That torque figure is especially important because it delivers strong low-end pull, helping the Sequoia accelerate confidently with passengers or heavy cargo on board.

Power is routed through a 10-speed automatic transmission that provides smooth gear changes and helps keep the engine operating efficiently across a wide range of driving conditions. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while four-wheel drive is available for drivers who need added traction in snow, mud, or off-road environments. With the right equipment, maximum towing capacity reaches 9,520 pounds, supported by features like an integrated trailer brake controller and Tow/Haul drive mode. Despite this capability, fuel economy remains competitive, with four-wheel-drive models rated at up to 19 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined.

Safety is a core focus of the 2026 Toyota Sequoia, with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 included as standard equipment. This advanced driver-assist suite is designed to help reduce the risk of collisions and increase driver confidence in daily driving situations. The Pre-Collision System can detect vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists in certain conditions, including low-light scenarios and intersections.

Additional standard systems include Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, which maintains a set following distance at highway and stop-and-go speeds, and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane. Lane Tracing Assist works alongside adaptive cruise control to provide gentle steering inputs on clearly marked roads. Automatic High Beams and Road Sign Assist further support driver awareness, especially during nighttime or long-distance driving.

Inside the cabin, the 2026 Toyota Sequoia offers a balance of rugged durability and premium comfort. Depending on configuration, the SUV seats up to eight passengers, with available second-row captain’s chairs reducing seating to seven while increasing individual comfort. High-quality materials are used throughout the cabin, with available leather-trimmed seating on upper trims.

Passenger space is generous across all three rows, and the driver-focused cockpit places controls within easy reach. Cargo capacity measures approximately 22.3 cubic feet behind the third row, expanding to about 49 cubic feet with the third row folded down. Folding both rear rows opens up even more space for larger items, making the Sequoia practical for road trips, home projects, or outdoor gear.
