2020 Toyota Sequoia Redesign, Platinum

Although we are hearing speculations every year, this full-size SUV resists to a complete redesign successfully. The current generation of this model is present for a too long, way too long someone would say. For more than a decade, the second-generation Sequoia has been Toyota’s representative in the segment of full-size SUV.

According to the latest reports, it will continue for another few years for sure. This indicates that 2020 Toyota Sequoia could be one of the last year models of the current version, though this should be taken with a reserve as well. In any case, the upcoming model will remain largely unchanged. We will see a familiar styling, which has been updated recently, and pretty much the same list of standard equipment. Of course, powertrain remains the same as well. Expect to see 2020 Sequoia late in the next year.

The 2020 Toyota Sequoia will continue in the same manner as previous year models. This is a highly-capable SUV, known for its amazing off-road capabilities and reliability. The current models are pretty outdated in some aspects, especially if we consider the much younger competition. However, it still has a lot of things to offer. As we’ve just mentioned, it features superior off-road performances, but spacious cabin as well. Its third row can really accommodate adult passengers, unlike most of its competitors. On the other side, it has few drawbacks, such as old infotainment system and poor fuel economy, but lovers of true off-roaders usually don’t bother with such things.

2020 Toyota Sequoia styling

In terms of styling, 2020 Toyota Sequoia will come with a familiar look. You can easily notice Toyota’s familiar design language, which came with nice updates recently. The new model gets a new grille design, as well as new headlights and a few more details. These novelties will find their place in 2020 Toyota Sequoia as well. Rest of the SUV looks quite familiar. There are no changes in proportions or something like that. On the inside, this SUV might be old but actually look pretty stylish. Thanks to the classic layout, the dashboard still looks quite fancy. It combines old-school analog controls with a large touchscreen, which seems to be a pretty convenient combination. On the other side, instrument cluster would definitely appreciate some tweaks, since it definitely looks a little bit outdated.

2020 Toyota Sequoia standard features

Though this SUV comes in four trim levels, we must say that already the base model comes with plenty of equipment. It is called SR5 and it comes with things like 18-inch wheels, 6.1-inch touchscreen, rearview camera, tri-zone automatic climate control, USB ports, Bluetooth, power outlets and much more. Besides these comfort and convenience features, it also comes with a bunch of safety systems. Some of the highlights are like forwarding collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and traffic-adapting cruise control.

The next one is the TRD Sport. It is a classic off-road derivate, which includes several chassis modifications. Of course, the focus in on new suspensions, but there are also things like bigger wheels, off-road tires, new brakes and much more. There are few visual upgrades as well.

The 2020 Toyota Sequoia will be also available in Limited trim level, which comes with some pretty subtle additions, like 14-speaker audio, rear seat entertainment system, power-folding and auto-dimming exterior mirrors etc.

Finally, there is a Platinum trim level, which includes all from above and adds things like adaptive air suspension, ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, a second-row center console, and a power-adjustable steering wheel.

There is no place for surprises in this aspect. The 2020 Toyota Sequoia will continue with a familiar engine under the bonnet. It is a well-known 5.7-liter V8 unit, which is good for about 380 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. It comes in pair with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Such amount of power guarantees great performances. This large SUV needs only 7 seconds to reach 60 mpg, while off-road performances are superior compared to the competition. On the other side, poor fuel economy is definitely a weak point of this SUV.
