2027 Toyota Sequoia vs the Competition

How the Toyota Sequoia compares with the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition and Nissan Armada for drivers in Victorville and across the High Desert.

The Toyota Sequoia is a full-size three-row SUV that seats up to eight and pairs a twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain with part-time four-wheel drive. Toyota has updated it for 2027 with a sharper exterior, new technology and a newly available Trailhunter package.

The 2027 Sequoia comes in SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro and Capstone grades. Toyota's 2027 announcement covers the styling, technology, safety and Trailhunter updates. Toyota has said full 2027 specifications will follow closer to the start of production this fall. Where this page lists engine, towing, fuel economy and cargo figures, they are Toyota's published 2026 Sequoia numbers, which we will update as 2027 details are released.

This guide compares the Sequoia with three full-size rivals: the Chevrolet Tahoe, the Ford Expedition and the Nissan Armada.
