Three rows are now available
Toyota considered large families by introducing the three-row seating that will be in five grades that include SR5, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and the new-to-Sequoia Capstone grade. Each grade has its unique look and feel, but the team at Toyota’s North American design studio Calty was responsible for styling and had primary objectives that would carry across the lineup.
The lineup starts with the well-equipped SR5 that offers a strong foundation of power, efficiency, and technology.

The Limited Edition is debuting with a standard 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, standard heated/ventilated front seats with memory settings, standard heated steering wheel, power-folding third-row, and a hands-free power liftgate.

Safety systems
Standard across all 2023 Sequoia grades is the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5. This active safety system includes PreCollision System with Pedestrian Detection that features multiple enhancements over the previous generation, including not only detecting the vehicle ahead but also a pedestrian in low light, a bicyclist in the daytime, an oncoming vehicle, and a pedestrian at intersections when making a turn. At intersections, the system is designed to detect an oncoming vehicle or pedestrian when performing a left-hand turn and provide audio/visual alerts and automatic braking in certain conditions. Emergency steering assist is an additional function designed to detect pedestrians stabilize the driver’s emergency evasive steering maneuvers and help prevent lane departure.
Sequoia will be equipped with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC). Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is designed to notify the driver via audible and visual alerts and slight steering force if it senses the vehicle is leaving the lane without engaging a turn signal. When DRCC is set and engaged, Lane Tracing Assist uses visible lane markers or a preceding vehicle to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
Automatic High Beams are designed to detect preceding or oncoming vehicles and automatically switch between high beam and low beam headlights. Road Sign Assist is designed to recognize certain road sign information using a forward-facing camera and display them on the multi-information display (MID).
Toyota’s Rear Seat Reminder comes standard on Capstone and all 2023 Sequoias. The feature can note whether a rear door was opened within 10 minutes of the vehicle being turned on, or at any time after the vehicle has been turned on, with a reminder message in the instrument cluster after the engine is turned off, accompanied by multitone chimes.
In addition to the TSS 2.5 system, other standard safety features include Blind Spot Monitor, which is designed to help detect and warn you of vehicles approaching or positioned in the adjacent lanes. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert can offer added peace of mind by helping to detect vehicles approaching from either side while backing out and alerting you with a visual and audible warning. The Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking is designed to implement brake control when there’s a possibility of a collision with a stationary object, approaching vehicle or while parking.
