Merced Toyota knows that every detail matters when you are looking for your next new car, even if only a few things change between one model year to the next. Such is the case with the 2025 Toyota Sequoia, which is the perfect SUV for families seeking a blend of rugged capability and modern comfort. The 2025 Toyota Sequoia stands out as a versatile choice, offering a few key upgrades over the 2024 Toyota Sequoia, but both mode years feature bold exterior styling inspired by the Toyota Tundra, ensuring truck-like durability that allows the Sequoia to tow larger trailers and tackle tough off-road conditions with ease. Like the 2024 Toyota Sequoia, the 2025 seats up to eight passengers across three rows, with comfort remaining a top priority, exemplified by a range of available seating materials, including heated, ventilated, and massaging options. Customers all over Modesto, Fresno, Madera and Merced love that the 2025 Toyota Sequoia has continued with the same robust 3.5-liter V6 hybrid engine, as well as a key interior feature that the 2024 model utilized: a 14-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In this comparison, Merced Toyota will continue to shed light on any key similarities and differences between the 2025 Toyoa Sequoia and the 2024 Toyota Sequoia, including engine specs, interior highlights, price differences, and trim offerings including the TRD Pro, Platinum, and brand new 1794 Edition. We hope this will help make your decision that much easier when you make your way over to Merced Toyota for a test drive today!
Engine Specs and Gas Mileage RatingsPowering the 2025 Toyota Sequoia is a strong 3.5-liter V6 hybrid engine, delivering an impressive 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission – matching the powertrain of the 2024 Toyota Sequoia. Despite its large size, both the 2024 and 2025 Toyota Sequoia models offer effortless highway acceleration, and ample power for passing, thanks to this hybrid system. However, the 2025 model refines its engine tuning for even smoother performance and a quieter cabin experience, minimizing engine noise to enhance overall comfort on long drivers. Like the 2024 Toyota Sequoia, the 2025 version offers RWD as standard across the lineup, with four-wheel drive available on most trims, except for the TRD Pro, which continues to feature standard four-wheel drive. Both model years maintain impressive off-road prowess, particularly the TRD Pro trim, which excels at handling steep inclines and slick surfaces with the capable Crawl mode. In terms of towing capacity, the 2024 and 2025 Toyota Sequoia models are identical, with the ability to tow up to 9,520 pounds when properly equipped. However, the 2025 model introduces slight improvements in hybrid power delivery, giving it a more refined towing experience. Fuel economy remains impressive for this class, with the 2025 Toyota Sequoia achieving 21 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway in RWD drive configurations, which matches the 2024 model. The TRD Pro continues to offer slightly lower fuel efficiency due to its off-road focus, with ratings of 19 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.
Interior HighlightsThe 2025 Toyota Sequoia interior continues to offer the versatility and spaciousness seen in the 2024 model, seating up to eight passengers with the option to switch to second-row captain’s chairs, which reduces capacity to seven. Both the 2024 and 2025 Toyota Sequoia models feature roomy and supportive front seats with standard eight-way power adjustability and plush cloth upholstery. Luckily, both the 2024 and 2025 Sequoia refine the seating experience with more luxurious upgrades in higher trims, such as massaging front seats, heated and ventilated seating for both the first and second row, and upscale wood accents. For cargo-focused buyers, the foldable third row and adjustable cargo shelf system is present in both the 2024 and 2025 models, and offers versatile storage solutions for easy packing when you take a long trip. In terms of technology, both the 2024 and 2025 Toyota Sequoia models are well-equipped, offering an 8-inch touchscreen as standard, while higher trims boast a larger 14-inch screen, and both models offer wireless charging and the option for an upgraded 14-speaker JBL audio system.
Customers of Merced Toyota will appreciate the six trim levels offered for the 2025 Toyota Sequoia at just a slight price increase over the 2024 models. The trims mirror the 2024 Toyota Sequoia offerings, besides the fun 1794 Edition, which is a brand new “Western” themed trim for this year. Also new this year is the option to coat your TRD Pro in a brand new Mudbath color, and add in massaging seats. Starting off with the base SR5 model, customers from Modesto, Fresno and Madera get 18-inch wheels, heated side mirrors, LED headlights and taillights, and a power tilt-and-slide moonroof. The interior cabin features comfortable cloth seating surfaces, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, automatic tri-zone climate control, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an eight-speaker audio system. Opting for the Limited adds on 20-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, faux-leather seating surfaces, a power-folding third row, a hands-free power liftgate, and sunshades for the back rows to keep the kiddos cool. Luxury abounds with the Platinum trim, which adds leather upholstery, heated and ventilated second-row captain’s chairs, massaging 10-way power-adjustable front seats (not offered for the 2024 Platinum models), ambient lighting, a premium 14-speaker JBL audio system, wireless phone charging, and high-grade LED headlights and taillights. The TRD Pro can take the whole family on an off-road adventure with standard four-wheel drive, crawl control, TRD-tuned FOX shocks, and a locking rear differential. The interior cabin showcases faux-leather seats with contrast stitching and a neat camo pattern insert, a red-striped leather shift knob, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel with red center stripe. Brand new for the 2025 Toyota Sequoia and building onto the Platinum’s features, the 1794 Edition adds a Western vibe with a walnut wood-grain interior trim, 20-inch wheels, and unique brown leather upholstery. Resting comfortably at the top of the trim ladder is the 2025 Toyota Sequoia Capstone model, which comes with power-extending running boards, a chrome mesh grille, large 22-inch wheels, massaging leather trimmed seats (not offered for the 2024 Capstone models), unique floor mats, a 10-inch color head-up display, acoustic glass, and backlit Capstone badging on the passenger dashboard for that signature touch.
