The big and bold Toyota Sequoia takes its name from the largest redwood trees in the world, making a statement for family-sized roominess, power and capability. And, frankly, it’s rather majestic to look at, too.
For 2018, Toyota Sequoia looks even more alluring with a new front grille and lower bumper, LED headlights, DRLs and fog lights and upgraded exterior trim. A cabin upgrade gives Sequoia new Optitron gauges, 4.2-in. TFT Multi-Information Display screen and leather-wrapped steering wheel for a more luxurious feel.
Bigger news is found beneath the metal, with the Sequoia joining other Toyota models in making Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) standard. This advanced active safety suite bundles the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Automatic Braking, Lane Departure Alert with Sway Warning System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with full stop technology and Automatic High Beams. Toyota Sequoia gets even more safety with Standard Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
The 2018 Sequoia also adds a new TRD Sport grade positioned between the SR5 and Limited, featuring Midnight Black grille insert and mirror caps, 20-inch black sport wheels, and black finish badging. For a clean look, the “SR5,” “4×4,” “5.7” and “FFV” badges are deleted on the TRD Sport, as they are on all 2018 Sequoias.
Aimed at Active Families
The 2018 Toyota Sequoia offers it all: roominess, luxury, off-road skillfulness, towing capability, and style. Choose from SR5, TRD Sport, Limited and Platinum in two-wheel or four-wheel drive. There’s a combination to fit any need.
Sequoia offers ample comfort and room in all three seating rows. The independent rear suspension makes for the Sequoia’s smooth ride and plays a large part in allowing for the third row’s roominess, which offers adult-size legroom (35.1 in.). Second-row legroom is full-size sedan-like at 40.9 inches. Even with its capaciousness, the Toyota Sequoia immediately gives the impression of driving “smaller than it is” thanks to its supple ride and 38.1-ft. turning diameter.
i-FORCE Power Plant
Sequoia offers maximum strength power from its dual-overhead cam 5.7-liter i-FORCE V8, which produces 381 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 401 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,600 rpm. Dual independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and an Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) ensure ample torque can be accessible across the engine’s entire speed range. This powerhouse requires only regular-grade gasoline and is paired with a 6-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission.
Customers looking to tow will make use of the big V8’s ability to produce 90 percent of peak torque at a low 2,200 rpm. This sort of low-end grunt makes pulling trailers no-sweat work for the Sequoia. Compliant with the SAE J2807 towing standard, the Toyota Sequoia can tow up to 7,400 lbs., depending on model grade and equipment. The Sequoia’s standard tow hitch is integrated into the frame as a single unit for added strength and durability. Tow/Haul mode modifies shift points for optimal towing performance, while standard Trailer Sway Control uses the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) to help counteract handling forces that can lead to trailer sway.
A standard rearview camera helps when parking or positioning a trailer. The backup camera is displayed on the 6.1-inch high-resolution touchscreen display.
Sequoia Strong
The Toyota Sequoia’s body-on-frame construction provides a stable, comfortable foundation for towing, off-pavement driving, and everyday commuting. Four-wheel independent suspension yields outstanding bump absorption on-road and excellent wheel articulation off-road.
The Sequoia Platinum grade steps into luxury territory with its load-leveling rear air suspension and Adaptive Variable Suspension, an electronic damper control system that offers driver-selectable settings for Comfort, Normal, and Sport. The rear air spring suspension helps maintain appropriate ride height and chassis attitude when carrying heavy loads or towing.
The available Multi-Mode 4WD system is one of the most versatile in any large SUV on the market. A lockable TORSEN? limited-slip center differential apportions torque to the front and rear wheels, and a two-speed transfer case provides a low range for tackling steep off-road trails with confidence. Low range is accessible on the fly via a rotary knob, while the center differential locks at the push of a button.
Reigning in the Toyota Sequoia’s momentum are 13.9-inch ventilated front disc brakes, which utilize four-piston brake calipers, while 13.6-inch ventilated disc brakes are utilized in the rear. The Sequoia SR5 comes equipped with 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with 275/65 R18 tires; Limited and Platinum grades have 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with 275/55 R20 111H tires. The Platinum’s wheels feature a distinctive diamond-cut finish.
