2025 Toyota Sequoia remains the only hybrid full-size SUV you can buy


The 2025 Toyota Sequoia full-size SUV receives small changes while continuing to offer a standard hybrid powertrain.

For 2025, the Sequoia adds optional massaging front seats, a new Mudbath color option for the TRD Pro off-road grade, an optional wireless trailer camera system, and a new 1794 grade with Western-themed decor that sits near the top of the lineup.

Pricing starts at $64,120 (all prices include a $1,945 destination charge) for the base Sequoia SR5 with rear-wheel drive. A Limited grade sits just above the SR5 at $70,520. Four-wheel drive is a $3,000 option on the SR5 and Limited, but standard on higher grades. Those higher grades include the Platinum, which starts at $81,265, the aforementioned TRD Pro ($81,990) and 1794 ($82,080), and the Capstone ($85,610).

All Sequoia models use the same hybrid powertrain, shared with the Toyota Tundra pickup truck. A 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 is connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission with an electric motor in its bell housing. This setup is good for 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 9,250-pound maximum towing capacity.

EPA fuel-economy ratings for the 2025 Toyota Sequoia are 22 mpg combined (21 mpg city, 24 mpg highway) for rear-wheel drive models and 20 mpg combined (19 mpg city, 22 mpg highway) for four-wheel drive models.

While General Motors once briefly offered them, the Sequoia is the only hybrid full-size SUV on sale in the U.S. today. That will change soon, as Stellantis plans to launch extended-range plug-in hybrid versions of the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer next year. Ford’s newfound emphasis on hybrids could also lead to a hybrid version of the Expedition, perhaps using a version of the powertrain found in the current F-150 Hybrid pickup.
