As Toyota's big-boy SUV, the full-size three-row Sequoia brings some impressive stats. Entering its fourth year on the TNGA-F platform shared with the Lexus LX, global Land Cruiser, and other body-on-frame Toyota and Lexus products, the 2026 Sequoia sees minor evolutions throughout its trim levels, including new leather and exterior color options. Let's see what's new on this Texas-sized and Texas-born SUV.
The 2026 Toyota Sequoia features minor updates, including new leather and color options, power folding third-row seats, and massaging front seats in higher trims. Prices increase modestly, with the SR5 starting at $66,120. The mechanical specs remain unchanged, retaining the hybrid V-6 engine.

First, let's start with what hasn't changed. That'd be the mechanicals, highlighted by the Sequoia's rather eye-opening i-Force Max twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6 hybrid powertrain. At 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque, this mighty V-6 remains capable of towing up to 9,520 pounds on lower-spec rear-drive models. Add (weightier) equipment and move up the trim ladder, and, of course, that capacity shrinks somewhat. But still, the standard hybrid V-6 is muscular for the segment, even if it's not particularly fuel efficient.
We've already covered what's new for the off-road-focused Sequoia TRD Pro for 2026, with its exclusive Wave Maker blue paint option. It's the annual stand-out color that Toyota releases just for the TRD Pro models (including the 4Runner, Tacoma, and Tundra). Otherwise, the TRD Pro stays the same. It still includes a standard electronically locking rear differential and multi-terrain monitor, both of which can also be found on the TRD Off-Road package Sequoias.
New for the range-topping 2026 Sequoia Capstone is Shale Premium textured leather trimmed seats, while the Limited trim isn't left out of the new leather game, either. It gets the cowhide in black or grey instead of the SofTex faux leather material it came with last year. The black leather on the Limited will gain white contrast stitching while the gray leather gets black stitching.
New across all trims is the power folding third-row seating that makes expanding the cargo space less labor intensive. New for 2026, too, are standard massaging power front seats in the 1794, Platinum, and Capstone trims, which offers 10-way power adjustments in addition to upper and lower body massaging while parked or while driving.
With the 2026 Toyota Sequoia's changes being relatively minor, the changes to the SUV's price are, thankfully, similarly modest. Entry-level Sequoia SR5 models ring in at $66,120 for 2026, $1,600 more than for 2025. Four-wheel drive remains a $3,000 option on that version and other Sequoias that don't include it standard (TRD Pro, 1794 Edition, and Capstone include it). The rest of the 2026 Sequoia lineup sees smaller price bumps compared to the SR5 of between $465 and $970. 2026 Toyota Sequoia Full Lineup Pricing
