The 2025 Sequoia comes in five trim levels, each with different standard features and price points
The 2025 Toyota Sequoia is offered in SR5, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Capstone trims. Each step up adds comfort features, technology, and interior materials, though all five share the same engine and basic structure. The SR5 is the base model with essential features; the Capstone is the most luxurious. Your choice depends on which features matter most to you and your budget.
All 2025 Sequoias use a 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with an 10-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy and performance are the same across all trims. The differences are in what you sit on, what screens you look at, and what materials surround you.
Key Takeaways
- The SR5 trim includes cloth seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, and basic safety features, making it the most affordable entry point.
- Limited and Platinum trims add leather upholstery, larger infotainment screens, and upgraded audio systems.
- The TRD Pro trim focuses on off-road capability with all-terrain tires, skid plates, and a locking rear differential.
- The Capstone trim is the luxury option, featuring premium leather, a panoramic sunroof, and the most advanced technology features.
- All trims come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, which includes adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking.
SR5: The base trim with essential features
The SR5 is the starting configuration and includes an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloth seats, power windows and locks, and a backup camera. It has dual-zone climate control and comes with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 as standard. The SR5 seats eight passengers across three rows.
This trim is designed for buyers who want a three-row SUV without paying for features they won't use. You get the core Sequoia experience—the size, the seating capacity, the reliability—without leather or premium audio. Many buyers stop here and are satisfied.
Limited and Platinum: Mid-range comfort and technology
The Limited trim upgrades to leather-trimmed seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a power liftgate, and a roof rack. It adds heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a six-speaker audio system. The Platinum goes further with ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 14-speaker JBL audio system, and a power-adjustable steering column.
Both trims include a wireless charging pad for phones and upgraded interior trim pieces. The Platinum also adds a hands-free power liftgate and a semi-aniline leather interior. If you spend long hours driving or want your Sequoia to feel more refined, these trims bridge the gap between basic and luxury without the highest price tag.
TRD Pro: Built for off-road driving
The TRD Pro trim prioritizes capability over luxury. It comes standard with an electronic locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, skid plates underneath the engine and fuel tank, and a TRD-tuned suspension. The exterior includes a unique grille, hood scoop, and TRD badging. Inside, you get leather-trimmed seats and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, but the focus is on what the Sequoia can do, not how plush it feels.
This configuration is for buyers who plan to drive on unpaved roads, tow heavy loads regularly, or want maximum ground clearance and protection. The locking differential gives you extra traction in sand, mud, or rock. The skid plates protect critical components from damage. If your driving stays on pavement, the TRD Pro's extra cost may not be worth it to you.
Capstone: The luxury configuration
The Capstone is the top trim and includes everything from the Platinum plus semi-aniline leather throughout, a panoramic sunroof, a power-adjustable third-row seat, and a 14-speaker JBL audio system. It has heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a heated steering wheel. The infotainment system includes a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Capstone also comes with a power-adjustable steering column, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors front and rear. The interior trim uses wood and metal accents. This is the configuration for buyers who want their Sequoia to feel like a luxury vehicle and are willing to pay for that experience.
Technology and safety features across all trims
Every 2025 Sequoia includes Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, which combines adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert, automatic emergency braking, and road-sign information. All models have a backup camera and Bluetooth connectivity. The difference between trims is screen size, audio quality, and convenience features like wireless charging, not the core safety systems.
Higher trims add features like a 360-degree camera system, blind-spot monitoring, and parking sensors. The Capstone includes a head-up display that projects speed and navigation onto the windshield. If safety technology is your priority, know that the essential systems are standard on every trim; you're paying for convenience additions on the higher ones.
Seating and interior space across configurations
All 2025 Sequoia trims seat eight passengers in three rows. The difference is in material and adjustability. The SR5 and Limited have cloth or leather-trimmed seats; the Platinum and Capstone have full leather. The TRD Pro has leather-trimmed seats designed for durability. The Capstone adds a power-adjustable third-row seat, which makes it easier to access the back row without manually sliding the middle row forward.
Cargo space is identical across all trims: 16.9 cubic feet behind the third row, 42.1 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 120.1 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. The choice of trim does not change how much you can carry or how the interior is laid out.

What is the main difference between the TRD Pro and other trims?
The TRD Pro is designed for off-road use and includes an electronic locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, and protective skid plates. Other trims are built for on-road comfort and do not have these off-road features. Choose TRD Pro only if you plan to drive on unpaved terrain regularly.

The Capstone has a 14-inch touchscreen. The Platinum and TRD Pro have 12.3-inch screens. The SR5 and Limited have 8-inch and 12.3-inch options depending on which packages you choose. Larger screens offer more detail but do not change how the vehicle performs.
Can I add features from a higher trim to a lower trim?
Toyota offers option packages that let you add some features from higher trims to lower ones. For example, you may be able to add a sunroof or upgraded audio system to an SR5. Ask your dealer what packages are available for the specific trim you are considering.
