Full-size luxury SUVs require smooth, refined low-end torque delivery paired with a chassis that isolates occupants from road imperfections. The Toyota Sequoia’s i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain makes 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque and is rated to tow up to 9,520 pounds³, so it is the stronger pick for buyers focused on maximum torque and towing.

The 2026 Lincoln Navigator delivers seamless, refined performance engineered for luxury. Its 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 makes 432 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque and routes power through a 10-speed SelectShift automatic and four-wheel drive.¹ Semi-active shocks at all four corners¹ help it glide effortlessly up to speed.

Chassis architecture directly dictates how functional a three-row SUV actually is for family road trips. The Toyota Sequoia uses a sliding third row with 6 inches of adjustment⁵ to trade passenger room for cargo room, with 22 cubic feet behind the third row in SR5 trim.⁶

The Lincoln Navigator makes the most of its independent suspension packaging. Behind the third row sits 22.9 cubic feet of storage (37.4 cubic feet in the extended-wheelbase Navigator L). Fold the third row and the Navigator opens up to 107.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row, or 121.6 cubic feet in the Navigator L.¹

Inside the cockpit, the Navigator operates in a class well above standard mainstream utilities. The Lincoln Navigator immerses drivers in a high-tech sanctuary anchored by a sweeping 48-inch panoramic display that spans the full dashboard.² Spanning the entire dashboard at eye level, it keeps speed, route navigation, and active audio controls visible directly above the steering wheel rim.

Available 30-Way Perfect Position seats with Active Motion massage (standard on Black Label) and the available Lincoln Rejuvenate experience, which coordinates lighting, massage and scent, help relieve travel fatigue.² The Toyota Sequoia offers a 14-inch touchscreen on every trim above the base SR5³, but no dashboard-spanning display like the Navigator’s.
