Does the Toyota Camry have leather seats?
Leather seating is not universal across the Camry lineup. Some trims offer leather-like upholstery or genuine leather, while base models use fabric. In recent years, XLE and XSE trims have leather-trim seats, SE uses Sport SofTex (a leather-like material), and L/LE models typically come with cloth.
This article explains which Camry trims include leather, leather-like SofTex, or fabric, and notes that materials can vary by model year and market. For buyers, knowing the trim and year helps determine whether leather is included or available as an option.
Interior materials by trim
Here is a quick guide to the seating materials you can expect across the main Camry trims in the U.S. market for recent model years.
- L: Cloth seats
- LE: Cloth seats
- SE: Sport SofTex seats (leather-like upholstery)
- XLE: Leather-trim seats
- XSE: Leather-trim seats (often with contrast stitching)
Note: SofTex is Toyota's synthetic leather alternative used on trims like SE, while genuine leather is reserved for higher-end trims such as XLE and XSE. Always verify the exact upholstery with the dealer for the specific model year and package, as materials can change over time.
What this means for shoppers
If leather is a priority, target the XLE or XSE trims. If you prefer a premium feel without genuine leather, the SE's SofTex provides a leather-like finish. For budget-conscious buyers, L and LE offer cloth upholstery.
Model-year and regional variations
Interior materials can vary by year and country. Some markets may offer different upholstery options or optional leather on trims beyond XLE/XSE. Always confirm the exact upholstery with the dealership or official Toyota spec sheets for the specific year you are considering.
Summary
The Camry’s seating materials differ by trim: cloth on base L/LE, Sport SofTex on SE, and leather-trim on XLE/XSE. Leather is not standard across the lineup, but is available on higher trims across recent model years in the U.S. Always check the exact configuration for your year and region.
