About
The 8 passenger SUV is now available in 3 different trim levels. There have been a few exterior changes to the 2017 Toyota Sequoia including better headlights and the overall appearance is more aggressive.
Exterior Features
While Toyota added bulk to the 2017 Sequoia, they didn’t add weight. By using aluminum they avoided increasing weight and reducing fuel efficiency. 19″ aluminum alloys are standard and the grille has smaller openings than before. The headlights and indicators are now using LED technology too.

Interior Features
If you want more space and luxury then the Sequoia cabin is exactly what you’re looking for. If you don’t need to seat 8 passengers, you can opt for 2 captain’s chairs in the second row. The 2nd and 3rd rows are split-folding and the 3rd rows seats are power reclining. There’s a spacious cargo area that can be increased by folding down the rear seats.
Safety
As standard, Toyota has offered a lot of safety features. Across the line, the Star Safety System, a driver and front passenger advanced airbag system, and 3-point seatbelts are all standard. In addition to this, a front energy-absorbing crumple zone and side-impact door beams are standard too. Trailer-sway control is also standard.
Technology
Tech in the 2017 Sequoia includes the Entune multimedia bundle and also a multi-information display as standard features. Rear seat Blu-ray players and a 9″ display are optional on the Limited trim and standard in the Platinum too.
