The 2025 Toyota Sequoia has not undergone federal crash testing, leaving its occupant protection performance unrated. Consequently, MotorCaliber has not assigned a Safety Index score for this model year. The federal record to date shows two recall campaigns and six owner-reported complaints logged with NHTSA. This limited data set precludes a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle's safety profile.
The 2025 Toyota Sequoia has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, carries a Light recall and complaint burden band, and is subject to two recall campaigns as documented in NHTSA federal safety records.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Toyota Sequoia?
The 2025 Sequoia has no crash-test data published by NHTSA. Federal safety ratings for this model year are absent, leaving consumers without a direct, objective benchmark for crashworthiness. The model does exhibit a Light recall and complaint burden, however. Two recall campaigns address specific issues: one for equipment labels and another for back-over prevention software, particularly affecting Sequoia Hybrid models. Owner complaints total six, with allegations concerning airbags and seat belts. This low volume of regulatory activity, while categorized as Light, is not an assessment of the vehicle's safety performance. Prior model years, specifically the 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019 Sequoia, achieved Safety Index scores ranging from 81 to 85. These earlier figures offer a historical context but do not substitute for current model-year data.
