What's New For the 2020 Toyota Sequoia?

In 2020, the Toyota Sequoia gets some new features that consumers can look forward to. The family also expands with the addition of a TRD Pro trim. While there's a new trim level this year with its own unique features, there are some changes that come standard across the board. Now, the 2020 Toyota Sequoia gets a new seven-inch infotainment display screen. It also comes standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for the first time.

The latest Sequoia looks the part of a city-savvy SUV from the outside, but underneath, it gets an updated suspension system that gives it more off-road capabilities than before. Despite these changes, this year's Sequoia is still part of the second generation of the Sequoia that dates back to 2008. While it has some new features to enjoy this year, the SUV also retains some of its fan-favorite features from the past. This includes one of the largest cargo storage capacities of its class and exceptionally smooth and comfortable ride quality.

The SUV also has impressive off-road capabilities. Inside, it has a spacious, versatile, and well-equipped interior complete with a flexible seating arrangement and plenty of amenities.

2020 Sequoia Trims & Features

There are five trim levels in the 2020 Toyota Sequoia lineup. The base trim is the SR5, followed by the TRD Sport, TRD Pro, Limited, and Platinum. All five trims share some exterior, interior, and mechanical features. They are all powered by the same engine and have the same transmission. However, there are some distinct differences among the trims, too. The SR5 comes standard with 18-inch wheels and LED headlights on the outside.
