Does Sequoia have a 3rd row?
Yes. The Toyota Sequoia is a three-row SUV designed to accommodate families and groups with a flexible rear seating setup.
In practical terms, Sequoia models from recent generations offer three rows of seating, with passenger capacity that varies by trim and configuration. Most trims allow up to eight passengers when the second row is a bench seat and the third row is full, while some configurations swap the second row for captain’s chairs, reducing capacity to seven. The third row also folds flat to expand cargo space when not in use.
Seating configurations and capacity
Common seating configurations and how they affect how many people you can carry:
- Three-row setup with a second-row bench and a full third row, enabling up to eight passengers.
- Optional second-row captain’s chairs (two seats) with a full third row, typically seating seven.
- Third-row seats that fold flat to create more cargo space when fewer passengers are needed.
Ultimately, the Sequoia is built as a three-row SUV with flexible seating options to balance people and cargo depending on the chosen trim and configuration.
Access, comfort, and cargo
Third-row usability
The Sequoia’s third-row seating is designed to be accessible from the second row and to accommodate adults on shorter trips, though some buyers find legroom more comfortable for children or shorter journeys. The standard setup allows for reasonable headroom and space, while folding the third row open-up dramatically more cargo space behind the second row. The availability of captain’s chairs in the second row can improve passenger access to the third row, at the expense of overall seating capacity.
When you need to haul gear, sports equipment, or luggage, the third row can be flipped forward or folded down to maximize cargo space, giving the Sequoia a practical balance between passenger comfort and practical cargo capacity for family trips or road trips.
Model-year context
In its current generation, introduced for late 2020s models and refreshed in recent years, Toyota has kept the three-row design intact, offering both practical seating and flexible cargo options. The exact configuration—bench vs. captain’s chairs—depends on trim level and market, but the fundamental three-row layout remains a core feature of the Sequoia.
Summary
The Sequoia does indeed have a third row. It’s built as a three-row SUV with flexible seating options that can accommodate up to eight passengers (or seven with second-row captain’s chairs) and offers folding third-row seats to expand cargo space when needed. This design supports families, groups, and travelers who need both people-hauling capability and cargo versatility.
