2026 Toyota Sequoia
large SUV / 4-door SUV
Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
Tested vehicle: 2023 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2023-26 models
The Toyota Sequoia was redesigned for the 2023 model year. Driver-side small overlap front ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2023 Sequoia conducted by Toyota.

Driver restraints and dummy kinematics
The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but slid off the left side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy’s head and torso. The side curtain airbag deployed and has sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. | |

Headlights
Ratings are given for 2 different headlight variations available on this vehicle.
(1) Trim level(s): Limited trim equipped with Premium Auto-Leveling LED Headlights package, 1794 trim, Platinum trim, TRD Pro trim, Capstone trim

| Low-beam headlight type | LED projector |
| High-beam headlight type | LED projector |
| Curve-adaptive? | No |
| High-beam assist? | Yes |
|
Overall rating | |
| Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination: | |
Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and fair on the left side. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves, fair on the sharp left curve and inadequate on the gradual left curve.
The low beams created some glare.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual right curve, fair on the sharp right and gradual left curves, and inadequate on the sharp left curve.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway and on both left curves.
