- 2025 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro models get a new colour option
- Massaging seats are now part of the Platinum and Capstone grades
- It starts at $86,525 in Canada, but there are now more six-figure Sequoia trims than ever before
As the big dog SUV in Toyota showrooms, the mighty Sequoia is a couple of model years into its current generation of style and powertrain selection. For the 2025 model year, its maker has gifted it a few updates — most of which will be found in upper trims of the range.
The front seats get a standard massaging function on the tony Platinum and Capstone grades, providing the sort of seated comfort which has been available in a few competitors for some spell. Every trim gets heat for the front chairs and tri-zone climate control to keep the peanut gallery happy. Speaking of, a bench remains available in the second row though captain’s buckets are on offer to provide a measure of DMZ area between warring sibling factions.
Elephantine towing mirrors are now offered as an option on the top-rung Capstone trim, likely as a result of feedback from shoppers who wanted the Cap’s super-lux features but also the ability to see what’s going on astern whilst hauling a trailer. They are a $300 option.
As is tradition just about every year, Toyota is introducing another paint shade exclusive to the TRD Pro trim — this time it is called Mudbath. Given the name, it is exactly what you’d expect: a rather industrial and slightly military-like brown. Less charitable folks may call it Premium Beige. Last year’s TRD Pro special colour, the ochre-like Terra, has vanished from the list.
Sticker prices are up across the board. An entry-level, but certainly not base, SR5 TRD Off-Road now trades for $86,525 while the Limited Nightshade is now $89,345 and the TRD Pro newly crests six figures to rest at a skiff over $101,500. These costs are all about $2,500 dearer and include non-negotiables like PDI and freight. Meanwhile, a Platinum trim will also set ya back just over a hundred grand in 2025, a good four stacks more than last year, as will a mighty Capstone (the one you really want unless going for a TRD Pro) which is now $104,497 with all the boxes checked.
No matter the trim, one will find the brand’s iForce Max hybrid powertrain under the hood, deploying a twin-turbo V6 and electric motors to the tune of 427 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. This, along with a 10-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, permit the brute to haul a maximum of 9,000 pounds when properly equipped.
The 2025 Toyota Sequoia is now on sale at Toyota Dealers across Canada.
