The Japanese automaker's US subsidiary reported good sales results for the first three quarters across the American automotive market – and they have all the reasons to keep up with the good job.
General Motors retained the crown with 1.95 million units delivered from January through September despite a drop of one percent, and Ford Motor Company, with 1.548 million examples, was pretty far behind Toyota Motor North America's 1.73 million sales and its 6.2% rise. Naturally, most of the hard work was performed by the mainstream namesake brand – Lexus only contributed with 248,200 vehicles to the sales charts, though they were on the rise with no less than 10.7 percent.
Toyota, meanwhile, delivered 1,481,319 vehicles, up 5.5 percent compared to the same period last year. It also highlighted that many vehicle series registered their best year-to-date sales, including the big hulking Toyota Sequoia full-size SUV. As it turns out, the third generation, which has been around since 2022 for the 2023 model year, is silently doing its job - and it was among the first models dressed on the TNGA-F body-on-frame platform that also underpins the latest Tacoma, Land Cruiser, and 4Runner.
As such, after seeing that the 2025 model year Toyota Sequoia didn't change much – it just launched with a price hike and a new Texas-inspired 1794 grade – even the parallel universes of vehicular CGI decided to take a stand with help from the imaginative guild of digital car content creators. More precisely, the good folks over at the "AutoYa" info channel on YouTube also have a satellite venue dubbed AutoYa Interior, and that's where all the (CGI) 2026 Toyota Sequoia action is taking place in their latest behind-the-scenes making of video that we have embedded below.
In it, the unofficial and hypothetical 2026 Toyota Sequoia (TRD Pro) comes out to play refreshed for the mid-cycle facelift and features a few subtle design changes on the outside with more important modifications taking place inside – at least according to the vision of the channel's host and their resident pixel master. More precisely, the front end is slightly tweaked, and the taillights have new LED graphics plus a full-width bar.
Meanwhile, the dashboard layout remains almost the same on the inside with one major exception – the separate instrument cluster and central infotainment screen become one ultra-wide display with a neat picture-in-picture function. Additionally, as per tradition, there's a big roster of CGI points of view – front and rear, inside and outside, plus a few comparisons between the old and the newly rendered design project. Also, let's not forget about the extensive color reel, which is always a nice perk because it's way more comprehensive than anything the OEMs have planned. So, what do you think?
