The 2024 Camry comes in five trim levels, each with different engines, technology, and comfort features
The 2024 Toyota Camry is sold in five distinct configurations: LE, XLE, SE, XSE, and Limited. Each trim level builds on the one below it, adding features like upgraded upholstery, more advanced safety technology, and enhanced infotainment systems. The LE and XLE use a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, while the SE, XSE, and Limited offer a choice between that same four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces more horsepower.
Understanding which trim matches your needs means knowing what features matter most to you — whether that's fuel economy, interior comfort, driver information technology, or performance. The price difference between trims can range significantly, so knowing what each level includes helps you decide whether the added features justify the cost.
Key Takeaways
- The LE is the base model with essential features like a 2.5-liter engine, 8-inch touchscreen, and standard safety technology.
- The XLE adds leather-trimmed seats, a power driver's seat, and upgraded audio compared to the LE.
- The SE and XSE trims offer a sportier suspension and steering tuning, plus the option to upgrade to a 3.5-liter V6 engine.
- The Limited is the top trim with premium leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, and the most advanced driver information features available.
- All 2024 Camry models include Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, a suite of standard collision avoidance and driver monitoring systems.
LE and XLE: The practical choices for everyday driving
The LE is the entry-level Camry and comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 203 horsepower. It includes an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, power windows and locks, and a rearview camera. The LE also has Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 built in, which means you get adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, and automatic emergency braking as standard equipment — not as an add-on.
The XLE takes the LE's foundation and adds comfort features aimed at longer drives. You get leather-trimmed seats (not full leather, but a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob), an 8-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power moonroof. The audio system upgrades to an 8-speaker setup. If fuel economy is your priority and you don't need the extra power of the V6, the XLE represents a meaningful step up in comfort without the cost of the sportier SE trim.
SE and XSE: Built for drivers who want performance and technology
The SE and XSE trims shift the focus toward driving engagement. Both come with a sport-tuned suspension and quicker steering response compared to the LE and XLE. The SE starts with the same 2.5-liter engine as the base models but gives you the option to upgrade to the 3.5-liter V6, which produces 301 horsepower — a significant jump that cuts 0-60 time from around 9 seconds to roughly 6 seconds. The SE includes an 8-inch touchscreen, sport-styled seats, and a sport-tuned steering wheel.
The XSE builds on the SE with full leather seats, a power driver's seat with lumbar support, a 10.5-inch touchscreen (larger than the SE's 8-inch screen), and a power moonroof. If you choose the V6 option on an XSE, you also get an upgraded 8-speaker audio system and paddle shifters on the steering wheel for manual gear selection. The XSE V6 is where the Camry transitions from a practical sedan into something that feels more responsive on winding roads.
Limited: The premium configuration with all available features
The Limited is the top-tier Camry and includes every feature Toyota offers for this model year. It comes standard with the 3.5-liter V6 engine (you cannot order a Limited with the four-cylinder). The interior uses premium leather throughout, and the driver's seat includes 10-way power adjustment with heating and cooling. The Limited has a panoramic sunroof that spans most of the roof, a 10.5-inch touchscreen with an upgraded 8-speaker audio system, and wireless phone charging.
On the technology side, the Limited includes Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 Plus, which adds more advanced features than the standard Safety Sense 2.5 found on lower trims. This includes a wider range of adaptive cruise control functions and enhanced collision detection. The Limited also comes with a power trunk lid, rain-sensing wipers, and LED headlights with automatic high-beam control. If you want every available comfort and convenience feature the 2024 Camry offers, the Limited is the only choice.
Engine options: Four-cylinder versus V6
The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is available on all five trim levels and delivers 203 horsepower with an EPA-estimated 28 to 32 miles per gallon depending on transmission type and driving conditions. This engine is sufficient for daily commuting and highway driving, and it keeps fuel costs lower than the V6 option.
The 3.5-liter V6 is available only on the SE, XSE, and Limited trims. It produces 301 horsepower and delivers noticeably quicker acceleration, but fuel economy drops to an EPA-estimated 22 to 28 miles per gallon. The V6 costs several thousand dollars more than the four-cylinder option. Choose the V6 if you regularly drive on highways where you merge into fast traffic, tow occasionally, or straightforward prefer the feel of more power. Choose the four-cylinder if your driving is mostly city streets and local roads, or if fuel economy is a primary concern.
Technology and infotainment across trim levels
All 2024 Camry models include an 8-inch touchscreen as standard, except the XSE and Limited, which come with a 10.5-inch screen. Every model supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to mirror your phone's navigation and messaging apps. The base LE includes a 4-speaker audio system, while higher trims upgrade to 6 or 8-speaker configurations.
The Limited and XSE models add wireless phone charging, which means you can place a compatible smartphone on a charging pad without plugging in a cable. Navigation is not built into any 2024 Camry; instead, you use Apple Maps or Google Maps through CarPlay or Android Auto. All trims include a backup camera, and the Limited adds a 360-degree camera system that shows a bird's-eye view of the car when parking.
Safety features standard across all 2024 Camry models
Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 comes on every 2024 Camry regardless of trim level. This system includes pre-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control that maintains a set distance from the car ahead, lane departure alert that warns you if you drift out of your lane, and lane-keeping information that gently corrects your steering. The system also includes road sign information, which reads speed limit signs and displays them on your dashboard.
The Limited trim upgrades to Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 Plus, which adds a wider detection range for the adaptive cruise control and more sensitive collision detection. All models include eight airbags, electronic stability control, and a backup camera. The 360-degree camera system is exclusive to the Limited and helps when parking in tight spaces by showing you the car's position from above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a V6 engine on the LE or XLE?
No. The 3.5-liter V6 is only available on the SE, XSE, and Limited trims. The LE and XLE come exclusively with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. If you want V6 power, you must move up to at least the SE trim level.
What is the main difference between the SE and XSE?
The SE focuses on performance with sport-tuned suspension and steering, while the XSE adds comfort features like full leather seats, a larger 10.5-inch touchscreen, and a power moonroof. Both have the same sport-tuned suspension, but the XSE is more luxurious inside.
Does every 2024 Camry have the same safety features?
Every model includes Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, which covers collision avoidance and driver monitoring. The Limited upgrades to Safety Sense 2.5 Plus, which has enhanced detection capabilities. All models also include eight airbags and electronic stability control.
Which trim gets the panoramic sunroof?
Only the Limited comes with a panoramic sunroof as standard. The XLE and XSE offer a power moonroof, which is smaller and covers only part of the roof. The LE and SE do not include any sunroof or moonroof option.
Is the larger touchscreen worth upgrading to the XSE or Limited?
The 10.5-inch screen on the XSE and Limited is noticeably larger and easier to read than the 8-inch screen on lower trims, especially for navigation. Whether it justifies the price difference depends on how much time you spend looking at the screen and how important touchscreen size is to your daily driving experience.
