Trim Level Comparison

The range of starting MSRPs between the L and XSE trim is just shy of $6,000. That difference brings a wealth of other features, listed below. The LE trim is the only trim that translates over to the hybrid powertrain. The SE Nightshade Edition is mostly focused on offering a black-themed aesthetic to the SE trim that already exists. The most popular trims will likely be the LE for its balance of low price and enhanced features over the L trim, or the SE since it sits right in the middle of the trim level list.
