2026 Toyota Sequoia

The 2023 redesigned Sequoia utilizes a platform shared with the also-redesigned Tundra pickup and Lexus LX. This full-sized, three-row SUV has a smooth and punchy 437-hp, 3.4-liter turbocharged hybrid V6 powertrain paired with a 10-speed automatic that is a delight to use. But in most other ways, the new Sequoia feels outdated upon arrival compared to competitors. For example, it lacks the convenience of an Auto 4WD mode. It also forgoes the previous model's independent rear suspension, which compromises ride, handling, and third-row seat space. Handling is beyond clumsy, though secure when pushed to its limits. The ride seems compliant at first but is plagued with too much shudder and jiggle. Towing capacity is stout, at over 9,000 pounds. Most trims have a 14-in. infotainment touchscreen that's a long reach away. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW come standard. A power tailgate is standard for 2026.
