Used 2021 Toyota Camry Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Toyota Camry is a midsize sedan available in six trim levels: LE, SE, SE Nightshade, XSE, XLE and TRD. A four-cylinder and an available V6 engine are offered. You can also get all-wheel drive with the four-cylinder. Standard feature highlights include:

LE
Starts you off with:

  • 203-horsepower four-cylinder engine
  • Eight-speed automatic transmission
  • 17-inch wheels
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • 7-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • 60/40-split folding rear seats
  • Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa compatibility

All Camrys also come standard with a suite of driver aids that include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Camry back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Camry and the car in front)
  • Automatic high-beam headlights
  • Road sign recognition

SE
Adds sporty touches and extra features, such as:

  • Unique exterior trim
  • 18-inch wheels
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Automatic climate control

SE Nightshade
Includes a stealthy look, adding:

  • Distinctive 18-inch wheels
  • Black exterior trim
  • Trunk-mounted spoiler

XLE
Adds more upscale features to the LE, such as:

  • Full-speed adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front, down to a stop)
  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • LED headlights
  • Chrome exterior trim
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Upgraded driver information display
  • 9-inch information touchscreen
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Dual-zone climate control

XSE
Similar to the XLE but adds a more sporty look and feel with:

  • 206 hp for the four-cylinder engine
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Gloss black grille
  • Dual exhaust
  • Metallic interior trim

TRD
The most athletic of Camrys, with:

  • 301-hp V6 engine
  • Black-painted outside mirrors and exterior trim
  • Unique 19-inch wheels
  • Aerodynamic body trim
  • TRD-specific simulated leather upholstery and red seat belts
  • Sport exhaust
  • Special sport-tuned suspension

Some features on the XLE and XLE are available on the LE and SE as options. Toyota also offers the 301-hp V6 engine as an option for the XSE and XLE trims. Other notable optional features include:

  • Driver Assist package
    • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Camry and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
    • Head-up display (standard with V6)
    • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
    • Ventilated front seats
  • Cold Weather package (heated front seats, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel)
  • Integrated navigation system with nine-speaker JBL sound system
  • Panoramic sunroof (standard with the V6)
  • Performance tires (TRD only)

Which Camry trim does Edmunds recommend?

There's no shortage of Camrys to choose from. We suggest going with the XSE because of its wealth of standard features, attractive styling touches and its sport-tuned (yet still comfortable) suspension. Opting for the XSE gets you desirable equipment such as standard blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and leather upholstery. It also opens up nice-to-have options including a panoramic sunroof and heated seats.
