Which Toyota Sienna model has leather seats?
Leather seating in the current Sienna lineup
Below is a typical overview of leather availability by trim for recent model years. Availability can vary by year, market, and whether leather is included as standard or as part of a package.
Material terminology you should know
Automakers sometimes use “leather-trimmed” or “SofTex” to describe leather-like seating surfaces. In the Sienna lineup, top trims are more likely to advertise leather-trimmed seats, while lower trims may use fabric or SofTex. Always verify the exact material on the window sticker or in the dealer’s specification sheet.
- L: Leather seats generally not offered; materials are fabric or SofTex, depending on year and package.
- LE: Leather seats generally not offered; standard materials are fabric or SofTex, depending on year and package.
- XLE: Leather-trimmed seats available in some years/packages; may be standard in others.
- Limited: Leather-trimmed seats standard; premium interior features common.
- Platinum: Leather-trimmed seats standard; top-tier interior with maximum comfort features.
In practice, the exact inclusion of leather can vary by model year and region. If leather is a priority, confirm the specific year’s interior materials with the dealer or by checking the official build sheet for that vehicle.
How to confirm leather seating for a specific model year
To ensure you know the exact interior material for a particular Sienna you’re evaluating, follow these steps:
- Review the vehicle’s window sticker or official Toyota brochure for that model year and trim.
- Look for language such as “Leather-trimmed seats” or “Leather upholstery” in the interior features list.
- Compare photos of the interior; differentiate between leather and SofTex (leather typically appears as a distinct, smooth surface).
- Ask the dealer to confirm the seat material code and verify it against the trim’s standard equipment for that year.
- When shopping used, request the build sheet or VIN-specific interior specification to confirm the exact materials.
By verifying these details, you’ll avoid misidentifying a leather seat configuration and can target the exact trim and year that meets your preferences.
Summary
For the Toyota Sienna, leather seats are most commonly found on the Limited and Platinum trims, with the XLE offering leather in some years or configurations. Base L and LE trims typically do not include leather as standard. Because interior materials can vary by year and market, always check the specific model year’s official specifications or request the build sheet from the dealer to confirm whether a particular Sienna has leather seats.
