What Are the Different Toyota Camry Models?
If you are shopping for a midsize sedan, it does not take long to realize the Camry lineup is not just one car. The 2026 Toyota Camry comes in several trims, each built for a different type of driver. From comfort-focused options to sport-styled models, the Camry Models give buyers a lot to choose from. That is why understanding the differences matters before you visit a dealership or start comparing prices. For drivers in O’Fallon, IL, knowing what each trim includes can help narrow the search and avoid paying for features you do not really need.
What Each 2026 Camry Models Have in Common
Every 2026 Toyota Camry uses the same 2.5-L 4-cylinder gas and electric hybrid system. This means every trim delivers 225 net combined horsepower and uses an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. Whether you choose front wheel drive or available electronic on demand all wheel drive, the goal is the same. You get smooth acceleration, strong efficiency, and a quiet ride.
Because they all use the same hybrid setup, Toyota Camry Hybrid specs stay consistent across the lineup. The difference between trims is not about power. It is about style, comfort, and technology.
Toyota Camry LE
The Toyota Camry LE is the starting point, but it still comes with a solid list of features. It rides on 16-inch silver-painted alloy wheels and includes an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with six speakers. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, so connecting your phone is easy.
Inside, you get dual-zone automatic climate control with rear seat vents and a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad. Safety features include Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
For buyers who want a comfortable and simple daily driver in Glenn Carbon IL, the LE covers the basics without feeling stripped down. You can also choose front wheel drive or available Camry AWD models for extra traction in winter weather.
Toyota Camry SE
The Toyota Camry SE builds on the LE by adding a sportier look and feel. It gets 18-inch black finished alloy wheels and a black sport mesh front grille with racing inspired air curtains. The suspension is sport-tuned, which gives the car a firmer and more controlled ride.
Inside, the SE includes SofTex-trimmed front seats and an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat. You still get the same touchscreen, wireless phone integration, and safety features as the LE.
Drivers who want a Camry that feels a bit more engaging without giving up comfort often look at the SE. It is also available with all wheel drive.
Toyota Camry Nightshade
The Toyota Camry Nightshade trim is for buyers who like darker styling details. It features 19-inch satin black alloy wheels, black exterior badging, and a black rear spoiler. The front grille, air curtains, and rear diffuser are all finished in gloss black.
Inside, you get the same sport SofTex seats and power driver seat as the SE, along with dual zone climate control and wireless smartphone support. Performance and drivetrain options stay the same, including the choice of front wheel drive or all wheel drive.
The Nightshade stands out more visually, which appeals to drivers who want their Camry to look different in a parking lot.
Toyota Camry XLE
The Toyota Camry XLE focuses on comfort and premium features. It rides on 18-inch two-tone machined and black alloy wheels and includes a larger available 12.3-inch touchscreen. You can also add a JBL premium audio system with nine speakers, a subwoofer, and an amplifier.
The interior uses leather and microfiber trim, and the front seats are heated with multi-stage control. You can also get available ventilated front seats for added comfort in warmer months.
This trim is a good fit for drivers in Edwardsville, IL, who spend a lot of time in their car and want a quieter, more refined cabin.
Toyota Camry XSE
The Camry XSE blends the premium feel of the XLE with the sporty look of the SE. It comes with 19-inch smoked gray and black wheels, a color-keyed sport mesh grille, and a gloss black rear spoiler.
