2020 Toyota Sequoia
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Toyota Sequoia is a full-size, body-on-frame SUV aimed at families and buyers who need serious passenger and cargo capacity without giving up the towing muscle of a truck-based platform. Now in its third generation, it targets a loyal audience of large-family haulers, outdoor enthusiasts, and fleet buyers who want Toyota's reputation for longevity wrapped in a genuinely big footprint.
The 2020 Toyota Sequoia earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 85 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. It has 1 recall on record, reflected in the score.

Reviewers generally praise the Sequoia's commanding road presence, generous three-row seating, and the smooth power delivery of its hybrid powertrain in newer generations. Most acknowledge the trade-offs that come with a body-on-frame platform at this size, and professional assessments tend to position it as a strong choice for towing-focused buyers who prioritize space and capability over car-like handling.
