2026 Sequoia MPG by grade

From toyota.com's 2026 Sequoia specifications page (mpg/other and mechanical/performance), read November 2, 2026. Actual mileage will vary.

The EPA records behind the numbers

Miles per gallon. From fueleconomy.gov (U.S. EPA and Department of Energy) records for the 2026 Toyota Sequoia, all 3.4L turbocharged V6 hybrids with a 10-speed automatic, read November 2, 2026. The EPA groups versions by drive rather than by Toyota grade name, and lists one regular-fuel and one premium-fuel record for each drive with the same mpg ratings.

One hybrid powertrain, two drive systems

Toyota.com lists the i-FORCE MAX 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 hybrid on every 2026 Sequoia grade, rated at 437 hp and 583 lb-ft, with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an engine Stop and Start system.

The hybrid side is a parallel system: toyota.com lists an electric motor of 48 hp and 184 lb-ft and a 288-volt hybrid battery with 1.87 kWh capacity.

Toyota.com lists 4x2 versions with rear-wheel drive and an automatic limited-slip differential, and 4x4 versions with 4WDemand part-time four-wheel drive and an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case. The TRD Pro adds an electronically controlled locking rear differential.

Because the powertrain is the same on every grade, the 2 mpg gap between 4x2 and 4x4 is the main fuel-economy choice when you shop a 2026 Sequoia.

How far can a Sequoia go on a tank?

Toyota.com lists a 22.5-gallon fuel tank on every 2026 Sequoia grade. Multiplied by the combined ratings, that gives a rough range of about 495 miles for a 4x2 Sequoia at 22 mpg (22.5 x 22) and about 450 miles for a 4x4 at 20 mpg (22.5 x 20).

That is our arithmetic from the published ratings, not a range figure from Toyota or the EPA. Towing, a full load of passengers, speed, temperature and terrain all change real-world range.

Why your Sequoia's MPG drops in winter

Fueleconomy.gov says conventional gasoline vehicles can expect a 10% to 20% fuel economy loss in city driving and 15% to 33% on short trips in cold weather, and hybrids typically 20% to 40% in city driving and 25% to 45% on short trips. Its reasons:

From fueleconomy.gov's Fuel Economy in Cold Weather page, read November 2, 2026.

Getting closer to the rated numbers

Fueleconomy.gov's cold-weather advice: park in a warmer place such as a garage, combine trips so you drive less often with a cold engine, keep warm-up idling short (it notes most manufacturers recommend driving off gently after about 30 seconds), use seat warmers and defrosters only as needed, check tire pressure regularly, use the oil your manufacturer recommends for cold weather, and remove roof racks when you are not using them.

Year-round, it says aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) can lower gas mileage by roughly 15% to 30% at highway speeds and 10% to 40% in stop-and-go traffic, that mileage usually decreases rapidly above 50 mph, and that an extra 100 pounds in a vehicle could reduce mpg by about 1%.
