Small overlap front

The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.

Driver-side

Tested vehicle: 2023 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2023-26 models

The Toyota Sequoia was redesigned for the 2023 model year. Driver-side small overlap front ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2023 Sequoia conducted by Toyota.

Driver restraints and dummy kinematics
The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but slid off the left side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy’s head and torso. The side curtain airbag deployed and has sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects.
