What's New For the 2020 Toyota Sequoia?

In 2020, the Toyota Sequoia gets some fresh new changes and updates inside and out. The latest Sequoia also rolls out onto the market with a new choice of trim level this year, too. The newest available trim is the TRD Pro, which is now the mid-level trim in the lineup. The TRD Pro resembles the TRD Sport in its exterior appearance and off-road-oriented amenities. In total, there are five appealing trims to choose from in the Toyota Sequoia this year. While the new trim has some unique amenities, you'll find other changes that affect all trims of the Sequoia. For the first time, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard in all trims. Starting with the base edition, you can also look forward to a new and improved infotainment display screen in this year's Sequoia. The updated infotainment system now includes a bolder and more visible seven-inch infotainment display. Seating capacity also varies by trim. The first three models seat eight, while the others have seating for seven. All trims have plenty of capacity behind the back row for cargo. With the space that it offers, the Sequoia has one of the largest cargo areas in its class.

The 2020 Sequoia comes in five distinctive trim levels. The base trim, called the SR5, has bench-style seating and room for eight.

Features available through this package include leather seats and navigation. The second and third trim levels, which are the TRD series, add more sporty features and off-road capabilities.
