Which Sienna trims have leather seats?

Leather seating is available on the Limited and Platinum trims; the XLE uses SofTex (synthetic leather), and the LE comes with fabric. So, the trims with genuine leather are Limited and Platinum.


Overview of seating materials by trim


The following breakdown reflects the latest generation of the Toyota Sienna. Materials can vary by year or market, so always verify the exact upholstery on the vehicle you’re considering.



  • LE — Fabric seats.

  • XLE — SofTex upholstery (leather-like, not genuine leather).

  • Limited — Leather-trimmed seats.

  • Platinum — Leather-trimmed seats.


In summary, genuine leather seating is found on the Limited and Platinum trims, while LE uses fabric and XLE uses SofTex leather-like material.


Notes on year-to-year variations


Toyota may adjust upholstery across model years or regional variants. If you’re shopping, check the exact fabric or leather specification on the window sticker or confirm with the dealer to ensure you’re getting the desired seating material for that specific Sienna model year.


Why this distinction matters


Choosing between fabric, SofTex, and leather can affect comfort, maintenance, and price. SofTex is easier to clean and typically less expensive than genuine leather, while leather-trimmed seats are generally viewed as a premium feature.


Summary


For the current Toyota Sienna lineup, leather seats are standard on the Limited and Platinum trims. The XLE uses SofTex (synthetic leather), and the LE comes with fabric. Always confirm the exact upholstery configuration for the model year you’re considering.
