2026 Toyota Camry Trim Level & Pricing Guide

If you haven't checked out the new 2026 Toyota Camry, you never have.

The 42-year-old midsize sedan builds on last year's redesign. It features a new Nightshade trim level, along with a few interior and exterior updates.

The Camry, with its all-hybrid powertrain, gets up to 52 MPG city / 49 MPG highway (Prius-like!).

The 2026 Toyota Camry has five trim levels: LE, SE, Nightshade, XLE, and XSE. Pricing starts at $29,000 for the base LE, and goes up to $35,200 for the premium XSE.

All trims offer Front-Wheel Drive, and Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is available on every trim. AWD costs $1,525 more than FWD.

How will the 2026 Camry's interior change?

The 2026 Toyota Camry interior builds on the comfort and technology updates introduced with the 2025 redesign. All trims now feature a more refined cabin layout, improved materials, and a driver-centric design. Base models come with soft cloth-trimmed seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a larger standard touchscreen, while SE and Nightshade trims enhance the cabin with SofTex®-trimmed seats and sportier accents. Higher trims, like the XLE and XSE, add premium touches such as leather and Dinamica® upholstery, ambient lighting, and available heated front seats.

What's the difference between a 2025 Camry and a 2026 Camry?

The 2026 Toyota Camry carries over the major redesign from the 2025 model year but adds subtle refinements. Key differences include the new Nightshade Edition, an updated color palette that adds the Dark Cosmos hue, and slight enhancements to suspension tuning on the SE and XSE trims. Both model years share the same hybrid-only powertrain and overall platform, but 2026 offers a more polished look and feel. Buyers may find the 2025 Camry offers more value through dealership incentives, while the 2026 model gives the freshest styling and updates directly from Toyota.

Is the Camry LE or SE better?

Choosing what's better depends on your preferences in terms of ride feel and design personality. The LE is ideal for comfort-first shoppers. It provides a smooth ride, excellent fuel efficiency, and classic styling at a lower price. The SE appeals to those who want a sportier look and feel. This includes a unique sport-tuned suspension, paddle shifters, SofTex®/cloth seats, and bold exterior accents. Both trims share the same hybrid powertrain, Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, and advanced infotainment system.

What does XSE mean on a Camry?

On the Toyota Camry, XSE stands for Extreme Sport Edition. It represents the sport-oriented flagship of the lineup. The Camry XSE combines the sporty performance and handling of the SE with the premium comfort and tech of the XLE. Distinctive XSE features include larger 19-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension for sharper cornering, dual-tip exhaust, and an aggressive exterior design with unique mesh grilles and spoilers. Inside, the XSE adds upscale finishes like leather-trimmed heated front seats, paddle shifters, and ambient lighting.

What is the difference between the Camry XLE and XSE?

The main difference between the 2026 Camry XLE and XSE is comfort versus sport. The XLE prioritizes a refined, luxury-inspired ride with softer suspension tuning, acoustic-laminated glass, and elegant exterior accents. The XSE, on the other hand, delivers a more dynamic experience with a sport-tuned suspension, rear spoiler, and aggressive design cues like a black sport mesh grille and unique canards. Inside, the XLE favors premium materials and quietness, while the XSE leans toward bold styling, featuring aluminum pedals and contrasting interior trim. Both share Toyota’s latest technology, hybrid powertrain, and advanced safety suite. They just cater to different personalities.
