Awards announced for 2021 Sequoia lineup
PLANO, Texas (August 12, 2020) – Named for California’s massive, majestic redwood trees, the Toyota Sequoia has always been about family adventure. With its robust body-on-frame construction, independent of four wheels, spacious ground distribution and 381-horsepower 5.7-liter i-FORCE V8 engine, the Sequoia is one of the most capable full SUVs on the market. With seating for up to eight (seven in TRD Sport, TRD Pro and Platinum and new Nightshade Special Edition), the Toyota Sequoia makes a solid candidate for the ultimate family car. It’s all there: spaciousness, luxury, off-road agility, high traction, packaged in rugged yet elegant Toyota SUV design. Moving on to 2021, the Sequoia will feature a new ‘out of this world’ color on the TRD Pro model and take on the night with the new Nightshade Special Edition.
TRD Pro receives cosmic new color
With a striking new debut, the Sequoia TRD Pro model will continue the new color tradition with the introduction of Lunar Rock by 2021. Replacing Army Green in the TRD Pro color palette, Lunar Rock will turn heads as customers enjoy all the on and off -road features provided in the setup. Other available colors on the TRD Pro include: Super White, Magnetic Gray Metallic and Midnight Black Metallic.
2021 Sequoia Nightshade Edition: Do not be afraid of the dark
With the onset of summer coming shorter days and earlier sun rays – the perfect time for the Sequoia Nightshade Edition to make its arrival. While most Toyota Nightshade models are based on SE-Class versions, the 2021 Nightshade Sequoia is built on the more luxurious Limited-Class model with black leather-trim seats and a slightly sinister-looking black exterior.
Sequoia Nightshade has unique dark chrome ‘Sequoia’ badging, body moldings, and lower grille and fog light surrounds. The Sequoia Nightshade Edition will also offer the choice of 2WD or 4WD and will look particularly evil in Midnight Black Metallic or Magnetic Gray Metallic. For more customization, the Special Edition will also be available in Blizzard Pearl.
Sequoia: Also great on security features
Sequoia is an SUV big enough to fit the whole family (and then some), and it’s also big on safety. Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) comes standard on every class of Sequoia, and this active safety system includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w / PD), Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with Sway Warning System (SWS), Automatic high beam (AHB) and dynamic radar cruise control (DRCC). It also includes Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). The standard rear camera on the Sequoia helps with parking or a trailer. The backup camera is displayed on the 7-in. display with high resolution screen. The 2021 Sequoia is also equipped with Toyota’s STAR Safety System, which includes: Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Traction Control (TRAC) )), a Smart Stop Technology (SST) brake override. On 4WD models, TRAC is replaced by A-TRAC (Active-Traction Control). All models have a direct tire pressure monitoring system.
