Toyota Sequoia Interior: Made for Comfort and Control

What makes the Toyota Sequoia interior feel so confident on busy days? It’s the mix of flexible seating, smart displays, and cargo space that adapts to the trip rather than working against it. Toyota builds the second-generation Sequoia on the body-on-frame TNGA-F platform, then layers in well-padded power front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control. The cabin keeps road noise low and conversation easy, even with all eight seats occupied on a long highway drive.
The vehicle’s interior pairs three rows of usable space with full-size SUV refinement, giving you room to relax and the controls to stay in command. Across every trim, from the entry SR5 to the top-tier Capstone, the cabin balances convenience and capability so the Toyota Sequoia works as hard as the family that rides in it.
The Interior at a Glance
- Seats seven or eight people, depending on the second-row layout
- Up to 86.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo space
- Standard 8-inch or available 14-inch touchscreen
- Cloth, SofTex, leather, or semi-aniline leather upholstery
Cargo and Dimensions
Behind the third row, the Sequoia holds 11.5 to 22.3 cubic feet, depending on how far those seats slide. Fold the third row flat, and you open 49 cubic feet; fold the second row as well, and the total climbs to 86.9 cubic feet. A standard multi-level adjustable cargo shelf helps you organize gear and build a flatter load floor for bulky items.
| Seat Configuration | Cargo Volume |
|---|---|
| Behind the third row | 11.5 to 22.3 cu. ft. |
| Third row folded | 49 cu. ft. |
| With folded second and third rows | 86.9 cu. ft. |
Front occupants stretch out with 41.2 inches of legroom and 39.2 inches of headroom, generous figures for daily commutes and long road trips alike.
Seating and Comfort
The Sequoia offers a choice that shapes the whole cabin. A second-row bench seats eight in a 2-3-3 layout, while available captain’s chairs reduce capacity to seven and open a walk-through aisle to the third row. Every trim includes heated, eight-way power-adjustable front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Climb the lineup, and you gain ventilated front seats, heated and ventilated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, and 10-way power front seats. The sliding third row offers about six inches of travel and folds at the touch of a button, so passengers and packages share space on your terms.
Upholstery and Color Options
Drivers can match the cabin to their tastes and routines. Standard cloth shrugs off everyday spills, SofTex synthetic leather adds easy-clean durability, and genuine or semi-aniline leather lends a premium finish to upper trim levels. Interior colors include:

Technology and Connectivity
Connectivity comes standard. The base SR5 integrates an 8-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, an eight-speaker system, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Step up to the Limited and above for a crisp 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, then add the 14-speaker JBL Premium Audio system with subwoofer and amplifier on Platinum and higher configurations.
Available extras, such as Qi wireless charging, a 10-inch color head-up display (HUD), a digital rearview mirror, and 120-volt/400-watt power outlets for tailgates and worksites, keep the interior driver-oriented.

A: The spacious cabin accommodates up to four child safety seats securely using standard LATCH anchor points.
Q: Does the Sequoia have a completely flat cargo floor?
