What About the Rest of the Camry Trims?

At the other end of the lineup sits the XSE, the most expensive and least fuel-efficient model of the 2026 Toyota Camry lineup. Designed for buyers who want a sportier look and a more engaging driving experience, the XSE trades a bit of efficiency for larger wheels and a more performance-oriented setup.

Power still comes from the same hybridized 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 225 hp in front-wheel-drive models and 232 hp when equipped with all-wheel drive. Fuel economy, however, takes a hit. All-wheel-drive XSE models are rated at 43/43/43 mpg city/highway/combined, while front-wheel-drive versions fare a bit better at 47/45/46 mpg.

While those figures trail the more efficient Camry models, they remain impressive for a midsize sedan with sporty aspirations. More important, the XSE still delivers fuel economy that many hybrid competitors simply can’t match, proving that buyers don’t have to sacrifice efficiency to get a more stylish and engaging Camry.

As expected, the XSE AWD is also the most expensive Camry in the lineup, with prices starting at $38,520. It’s undeniably well equipped, but it doesn’t deliver the same value-focused proposition as the LE. Instead, the XSE is aimed at buyers who are willing to spend more on additional technology, premium features, and a sportier appearance.

One of its biggest advantages is its tech-forward cabin. The XSE comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a matching 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, giving the interior a more modern and upscale feel than the lower trims.

Combined with its upgraded materials and additional features, the XSE offers a more premium take on the Camry formula, even if it comes at the expense of both affordability and fuel economy. The SE, Nightshade with its blacked-out trim, and XLE all fall between the LE and XSE in price and amenities, allowing buyers to find a middle ground to their liking.
