TORONTO, July 23, 2026 – Toyota is enhancing Sequoia for 2027, bringing a fresh new look, advanced technology and expanded capability to better serve active families and adventure-minded customers. Sharing the same spirit of toughness and authenticity that defines Toyota’s truck lineup, the updated Sequoia brings a more refined and confident presence to the full-size SUV segment while reinforcing the versatility that makes it uniquely suited to both everyday driving and outdoor exploration.

Developed by Toyota Motor North America teams, including Toyota’s CALTY Design Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Sequoia’s updated design expresses a premium, modern and purpose-driven character that reflects evolving customer lifestyles. With updated styling, Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, the latest Toyota Multimedia system and the newly available Trailhunter package, the 2027 Sequoia continues to broaden the possibilities for customers seeking a capable SUV with true adventure credentials.

Newly available Trailhunter Package

The  Trailhunter package offers Sequoia a more trail-ready personality with equipment designed for customers who want to venture beyond paved roads with greater confidence. Based on the SR5 grade, the package adds Michelin® LTX Trail 265/70R18 tires, an Old Man Emu® upgraded suspension, front recovery hooks and additional underbody protection to help support travel across more challenging terrain. The Trailhunter package helps make adventure-ready capability attainable for customers looking to get out and explore. 

The package also includes Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and a locking rear differential, helping deliver greater control and traction in demanding overlanding conditions. Unique bronze-colored wheels and exclusive badges give the package a distinct look that matches its rugged hardware and factory-built capability.

A More Sophisticated Design With SUV Purpose

The updated Sequoia design emphasizes the strength and stability of horizontal architecture, creating a new front-end design that looks well-tailored and premium while remaining rugged and confident, meeting full-size SUV customers’ needs and expectations.

On select grades, the use of bright chrome finish is reimagined to create a well-balanced and modern look, while the grille and bumper treatments bring a refined interpretation of Toyota’s rugged identity. Rectangular fog lights are integrated into the bumper for added functionality, and the center lower bumper has been enhanced to project a crisp, capable attitude.

The overall effect is an SUV that looks refined without losing its adventurous spirit. With design cues that balance premium sophistication and outdoor readiness, the updated Sequoia is intended to support a broad range of lifestyles, from family road trips to weekend escapes.

Latest Gen Toyota Multimedia 

The 2027 Sequoia receives the newest version of the Toyota Multimedia system. Developed in North America in partnership with Toyota Motor North America and Toyota Connected North America, the system features an intuitive, smartphone-like design that offers customizable widgets on its new home screen. It also has new embedded Voice Assistant functions that enable faster responses to “Hey Toyota” prompts. Sequoia now standardizes a 14-inch screen that delivers a larger and more advanced digital interface.

The latest generation system also includes the launch of a standard built-in Drive Recorder. When enabled, the vehicle’s exterior cameras (front/rear or Panoramic View Monitor if equipped) can capture 20-second clips of both manual and triggered events

Enhanced Digital Key* functionality is also available with the 2027 Sequoia. In addition to accessing Digital Key from the Toyota app, drivers can now manage functionality within their compatible smart device’s native digital wallet app (such as Apple® Wallet, Google® Wallet, or Samsung® Wallet), including locking, unlocking, starting and operating their supported Toyota vehicle. Customers can also share and manage Digital Key sharing permissions with up to five additional devices directly through their smartphone wallet app. Once Digital Key is enabled in the wallet app, it can use near-field communication (NFC) to continue to provide access to the vehicle for a period of time even if the device needs to be charged.

Enhanced Lighting

The updated Sequoia also benefits from upgraded exterior hardware that improves both function and visibility. The grille-mounted LED light bar has been upgraded to brighter output, and available RIGID fog lights provide additional illumination in low-light conditions. Available front recovery hooks add a functional off-road element while contributing to the SUV’s rugged appearance.

The 2027 Sequoia is offered in a range of grades to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of SUV customers. Grades include SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro and Capstone, giving customers a variety of choices across the lineup.
