Used 2021 Toyota Sequoia for Sale nearColumbus, OH

How much does the 2021 Toyota Sequoia cost?

Prices are up 1.24% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 144 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2021 Toyota Sequoia a good car?

Generally — the 4.4/5 user rating and 7.0/10 expert rating point to a vehicle that delivers on its core mission. The Sequoia is aimed at you if you want a large, truck-like SUV with serious space, standard V8 power, and straightforward usability.

The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly praise its practicality, good looks, reliable performance, smooth ride, and ample features. The trade-offs are just as clear: poor fuel economy and poor value for money are recurring complaints, and the truck-like character can feel dated if you want a more modern SUV experience.

If you value space, capability, and simplicity over polish, the Sequoia still makes sense. The market also shows 31.9% good or great deals, so there are at least some attractive listings to consider.

Is the 2021 Toyota Sequoia reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction. The owner feedback also points to reliable performance, and the model’s age is framed as a benefit in terms of durability and long-term confidence.

The expert evaluation reinforces that dependability angle by describing the Sequoia as a truck-based SUV with stout acceleration and a confidence-inspiring, pickup-like driving feel. It also notes that the model’s long production run has helped it avoid frequent retooling, which can be a plus for long-term ownership.

One ownership upside is that Toyota includes the first scheduled maintenance visit on the house. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that age-related wear and outdated hardware can matter more than mileage alone, so condition should drive your decision.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Toyota Sequoia?

At 72.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially on a truck-based SUV that may have seen family duty, towing, or heavy use. Focus on overall condition, signs of wear in the cabin and suspension, and whether the vehicle’s equipment matches the trim you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SR5 includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED fog lights, three-zone climate control, pushbutton start, remote keyless entry, a 7-inch touchscreen, a power moonroof, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. The SR5 Premium Package adds a power-folding/reclining third row, power-adjustable front passenger seat, leather upholstery, and heated front seats. The TRD Sport adds unique 20-inch wheels, chrome accents, Satin-black TRD logos, TRD floor mats, Bilstein shocks, and a TRD sport-tuned suspension. The Limited adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, auto-dimming power side mirrors, a power liftgate, navigation, and a 12-speaker premium audio system. The Nightshade Edition adds black 20-inch wheels, black leather upholstery, second-row captain’s chairs, and dark-chrome LED fog light surrounds. The TRD Pro is the off-road-focused trim with Rigid Industries LED fog lights, 18-inch BBS forged aluminum TRD wheels, Fox Racing shocks, a TRD-tuned suspension, skid plates, and a limited-slip center differential. The Platinum adds heated-and-ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, a larger 9-inch touchscreen, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and air suspension.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a 5.7-liter V8 with 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is available. It delivers stout acceleration, but the six-speed setup and truck-like tuning contribute to poor fuel economy.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense-P is standard and includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. It also includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front-and-rear parking sensors. There are no optional safety features, and more advanced aids such as lane-keeping assist and lane-tracing assist are not included.
• Infotainment: The standard setup is a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and a WiFi hotspot. A larger 9-inch screen appears on higher-spec versions, but the system remains simple and easy to use.
• Fuel efficiency: Rear-wheel drive returns 13 mpg city, 17 mpg highway, and 15 mpg combined. Four-wheel drive keeps the same city and highway figures but returns 14 mpg combined.

Which 2021 Toyota Sequoia trim should I buy?

The 2021 Toyota Sequoia is offered in 6 trim levels: SR5, TRD Sport, Limited, Nightshade Edition, TRD Pro, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• SR5: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the core Sequoia experience with the V8, a 7-inch touchscreen, three-zone climate control, and a power moonroof. If you want the lowest starting point and can live without the richer cabin materials and convenience upgrades, this is the trim to start with.
• TRD Sport: This trim adds a sportier look and a firmer chassis tune with Bilstein shocks and a TRD sport-tuned suspension. It makes sense if you want a more distinctive appearance and a slightly more tailored road feel without jumping all the way to the luxury-oriented trims.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, navigation, a power liftgate, and a 12-speaker premium audio system. It gives you a more complete everyday package without pushing into the highest price tiers.
• Nightshade Edition: This trim is mainly about appearance and added comfort touches, including blacked-out exterior details, black leather upholstery, and second-row captain’s chairs. It suits you if style and a more upscale look matter more than mechanical changes.
• TRD Pro: This is the one to choose if you want the most off-road-oriented setup, with Fox Racing shocks, skid plates, a limited-slip center differential, and TRD-specific hardware. It is the clear pick for buyers who want the toughest-looking and most trail-ready Sequoia.
• Platinum: This is the most luxurious version, with heated-and-ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, air suspension, and the larger 9-inch touchscreen. Choose it if you want the most comfort and the most upscale cabin experience.

Toyota Safety Sense-P is standard across the lineup, and there are no optional safety features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Toyota Sequoia?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully rather than rush.

• Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 144 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.24% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 72.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $47,659, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Toyota Sequoia's resale value?

The current average of $48,717 sits slightly above last year's $48,118.

That upward move suggests the Sequoia is holding value reasonably well for a used full-size SUV. For a future seller, that means you may not be dealing with steep depreciation in the near term, especially if your vehicle is clean, well maintained, and equipped with desirable features.

The market also appears to support buyers who want a large SUV with a strong reputation for practicality and reliability. If demand stays steady, well-kept examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Toyota Sequoia safe?

The 2021 Toyota Sequoia earns four-star ratings in the NHTSA rollover test.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense-P is standard and includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. You also get blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front-and-rear parking sensors.

The main caveat is that the Sequoia rides on an old platform, and it has not been rated in additional NHTSA crash tests. It also lacks more advanced driver-assistance features such as lane-keeping assist and lane-tracing assist.

Should I buy a 2021 Toyota Sequoia or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 72.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.24% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 adds the Nightshade Special Edition and keeps the Sequoia’s familiar V8-and-space formula.

Consider the 2022 if:

• It keeps the same truck-based formula while adding a slightly updated trim lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current pricing, inventory, and familiar capability, the 2021 is the safer buy. If you’re mainly comparing condition and price, a clean, well-equipped example is the better path; if you’re shopping strictly for the newest nearby option, the 2022 is worth a look, but not a must-have upgrade.
