TORONTO, August 7^th, 2025 – No matter where life’s journey leads, be ready to go there in style and comfort in the 2026 Toyota Sequoia. This full-size, fully-capable SUV seats up to eight passengers and is ready to help Canadians enjoy every adventure. New this year, Toyota upgrades the entry level SR5 TRD Off Road and Limited grades with leather upholstery and adds a new exclusive TRD Pro colour called Wave Maker.

“The 2026 Toyota Sequoia delivers full-size performance for full-size adventure, thanks to Toyota’s powerful and proven hybrid technology,” said Robert Tsang, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “It combines exceptional power with impressive efficiency, all wrapped in bold, modern styling. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a cross-country journey, the Sequoia delivers comfort, capability, and confidence for Canadians who crave both adventure and sophistication.”

The exclusively-electrified Sequoia is built around Toyota’s i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain for impressive power and fuel efficiency. This hybrid technology features a twin turbo 3.5L V6, high-torque electric motors, and a 10-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain generates 427 system horsepower, 583 lb-ft of torque, and a 9,000-pound towing rating. All models feature on-demand four-wheel drive to deliver power to every wheel when needed, while maximizing fuel efficiency when it’s not.

For the Sequoia, engineers adopted the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) F1 platform. This is a modern body-on-frame chassis design that features a fully-boxed ladder frame. Coupled with an independent front suspension and multi-link rear suspension plus available suspension upgrades specifically designed for frequent towing, the result is go-anywhere strength plus the impressive comfort and superior handling.

The Sequoia expresses its commanding power and go-anywhere capability through a muscular, chiseled body style. Each grade expresses itself through distinctively designed headlamps, grilles, wheels, and other features.

Inside, the Sequoia offers three rows of seating. Eight-person models feature a second-row bench, while seven-person models replace this with a pair of captain’s chairs. Second-row seats recline and fold down/tumble forward for additional cargo space, while reclining and sliding third-row seats also double as an adjustable cargo shelf system for the ultimate in flexibility. Every row is designed for spacious comfort and innovative versatility. All models feature heated front seats and three-zone automatic air conditioning. Standard interior colour choices, depending on model, include Black, Cockpit Red, and a two-tone Black/White combination.

Every 2026 Sequoia is a technology showcase. A touchscreen display and voice command provide easy access to the Toyota Multimedia system – featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, USB-A and USB-C input and charging port, Bluetooth connectivity, Sirius XM Satellite Radio capability, plus a full package of connectivity services (Remote Connect, Safety Connect, Service Connect, and Drive Connect).

For the driver, all gauges are in natural sightlines while controls are within easy reach. Standard features include the Toyota Smart Key System with Push Button Start, a power rear door with hands-free kick sensor operation, 12v accessory power outlet, second-row power outlet, and 120-volt / 400-watt power outlet in the rear cargo area.

Every Sequoia also comes with an impressive package of safety features – headlined by Toyota Safety Sense 2.5. Other standard safety features include the Toyota Star Safety System, Blind Spot Monitor System with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Brake, Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto-Braking, a backup camera with back guide monitor and camera washer, eight airbags, trailer sway warning system, tire pressure monitor system with auto location, trailer brake controller, and hill-start assist control.
