New Car Trim Levels, Option Packages, and Configurations are our calling.
If you’re looking to buy or lease a new car, or you just love new cars, you’ve probably ran across some seemingly arbitrary name or abbreviation after the car model you’re looking at.
How can the same model of car cost $25,000 but also $40,000? What’s the difference? Why does this one have heated leather seats and this other one has cheap cloth?
The answer comes down to the Trim levels of a car, or different configurations of the same model with different levels of equipment to market to different drivers and budgets.
While this helps you end up with the right car, it can get confusing, especially as manufacturers add more and more new trims, packages, and special editions.
It just so happens we find this fascinating. We are excited and passionate about new cars, and hope our videos can make your car buying process (or even just your day) be more exciting and less exhausting

2021 Mazda3 Hatchback Trim Level COMPARISON - Watch This Before Going to the Dealership!
I just got the Blue XLE with the Moonroof package for $36K, it's a very nice car. I sold my 2005 Blue Avalon to my brother and he is very happy (only 133000 miles). We looked at a white SE trim and they wanted a $1000 just for the heated seats and in in the video I see it says in the LE $610 for not only the heated seats and the steering wheel as well and only $500 on the SE. We were told that it wasn't possible to put HomeLink on the SE, what is wrong with that dealership? The XLE came with everything I wanted plus all the safety features. So another story, I had to look up all the paperwork to sell the Avalon to my brother, well it turns out we financed $16000 on the Avalon 20 years ago @ 5.03%, payments were 316 a month for 5 years, looking at the lien release we payed it off in 3 years. So now with the 2025 XLE Camry, we financed a little over16,000 @4.99% and our payments are $316.21 a month for 60 months. I've set it up to pay $200 extra a month
Just got the 25 Camry SE in heavy metal color a week ago with convenience package and 12.3 multimedia upgrade package for 29,500 , good looking sporty commute car with 45-48 mpg to boot !!
I got the non-hybrid Limited with the panoramic sunroof so they’re out there!
Good video but the rotating crinkle paper in the background was distracting
Toyota sells to fleet as well
Goodness, such an Informative video. Definitely earned a sub!
XSE, head-up display, and audio equipment, are my Top picks. Thanks for the video, handy for deciding
I bought new 2022 cx30 for wife just went over 43000 miles no issues she loves it, ZOOM ZOOM
For this ride… SE.
Why do we need to cut off 3 and 4 cylinders in the v6 that’s a deal breaker for me , I just want the V6 fuel injected no turbo, more reliable that’s all we need .
Great video. No folding mirrors available and in XSE form not even an option for seat and mirror memory?? FAIL, Toyota. Some might say that's Lexus territory, but memory is avail on the XLE... As for the Lexus ES - no option for AWD (which should be mandatory as it has no real MPG penalty)... It's important enough for me to need it, so the Lexus is dead to me. The XLE AWD looks like the car, but I'm still having issues with $40k and no folding mirrors. Ghetto, Toyota...
I love my 2024 Wildernesses ❤.
I purchased a 2025 CX-5 Turbo Premium a week ago. The 25 adds even more bang for the buck. A 360° camera is now standard. It’s a fun CUV to drive.
PS: This was a great comparison video. Thank you for making it! 😊
I was leaning toward the XLE but the leather seats have cloth trimming, so the XSE might be a better option. My concern was the ride might be harsher with 19" wheels, but in our Mercedes 350 GLC we had 19". I feel cheated getting my 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid as the Honda Accord would be quite similar. Had to pay $500 for spare tire kit (Camry includes one). Honda cheaped out and did away with engine temp gauge, individual tire pressure readings, and hybrid battery warranty is less than Toyota. Camry also has more hp and similar EPA figures too. Appreciated you mentioning the e-AWD issue. Thought it might help resale, but wouldn't use here in desert very much. You're right that those that desire AWD will likely steer to a RAV 4. Thanks for all the detail.
...except the Rav4 is nowhere NEAR as quiet, comfortable or 'easy' to drive - especially on longer highway trips.
Great video. The visualization is great and it helps to better understand the content. Thank you
Convenience package on the LE is $1,050, not $1,500. Smaller 16-inch wheels on the LE mean better gas mileage and cheaper to replace tires. There are some complaints out there about higher trim level options: the 12-inch screen upgraded sound system front door speakers rattling, and upgraded safety tech like eye tracking and front cross traffic warnings being annoying and other features requiring subscriptions, and upgraded seats being less comfortable. Makes me want to stick with the LE + Convenience package.
What’s that annoying scratching noise in the back of your video
I had my 2023 trail sport on pre-order. Had to wait 6 months for it. Had to drive to a different state to get it 😅 it was well worth it. Love my diffused sky blue pearl 💙
very helpful. Thanks!
Great video🎉
Thank you!
XLE trim for me with all options including the 360 camera.
Can’t go wrong with all the options
My 2024 Red Crosstrek Wilderness arrived this morning. It was hard to find the exact model I wanted in Florida but found a dealer about 300 miles away. This has been my go to vehicle when buying my next car. I don't expect it to disappoint. Moving to NW Denver area soon and expect the AWD and All Terrain tires to come in handy.
So exciting, congrats!
It appears to me, if one wants an XSE Camry, the dealerships or Toyota, forces the consumer to take the defective full glass roofs at a cost a $1330. Which is really stupid, because I will never buy a car with a glass roof, especially a defective one that shatters while sitting in the owner's garage. Then Toyota will refuse to warranty the roof, saying it's the owner's fault. So, because of this stupid decision by the new management, I would need to settle for the SE, not the XSE with the defective full glass roof!
Hadn’t heard of the glass roof issues, good insight
Love the styling of the SE, but I would need to get most of the optional upgrade packages. In order to get the heated front seats option (I live in NY) for $500, Toyota makes you get the convenience package as well for another $600. I would also need the Multimedia package for the 12.3" screen for $735. The only package I wouldn't get is the moon roof package. At that point, the price is just about equal to the XLE trim without packages. The XSE would only be about $2k more as well (without any packages).
Tough decisions…
Honda needs to address their safety issues they shut down and also the cruise sometimes for 10 minutes and sometimes for 2 hours
That sounds concerning!
Great video! I have been searching for a video like this doing a comparison between the different trims. Thank you!
Thank you, happy to help!
I wish Subaru would include the beautiful brown interior of the Touring Model on, perhaps the SPORT. Also, I find their finance charges higher than other brands. However, I still love the Subaru.
It is very odd you can’t get the sportier exterior styling options with nicer interior appointments. As far as the financing, it seems super common for brands with lower margins on the vehicle price to make their money up in financing and vice versa
sick video, very helpful info and analysis. Thank you!! just subscribed.
Thank you, thank you!!
I got the 2024 RAV4 XSE Prime in Silver Sky, with possibly the last RAV4 Prime model my dealer was getting from Japan for the year. It’s missing the Premium Package, so the Pano roof, 360 view, unique softex, ventilated front seats, HUD, etc are all missing. The price was already up there and the premium package would have put it way over the top, but I do get the occasional tinge of the “grass is greener” complex despite the significant cost savings. But with a reliable PHEV and AWD as my main requirements along with Toyota’s reputation for reliability, the 2024 XSE Plug-In model ticked all the boxes, and even sans the Premium Package options, I am quite happy I was able to catch the incoming inventory before the year was up.
Plenty to be excited about there, congrats!
BS, we ended up paying more than $41,000 for the Limited with the first trim.
Prices are always more once you add destination charges, dealer fees & add-ons, plus Toyota’s lower inventory across the board doesn’t help I’m sure.
SE with bigger touch screen and sunroof. Don't want the 19's. I'll save the $$$ and get the optional RED PAINT !!!
Everything you need plus style. Love it!
Very comprehensive. Caligraphy is my choice but wife is still skiddish over long term reliability. But, super nice vehicle.
Thank you! Hard to pass up the added niceties in the Calligraphy, especially at its price point
What about new generation CX-60 or CX-5 ?
CX-60 is unfortunately not sold in the U.S. which is the target market for our videos. We do have a video on the 2024 CX-5 which has minor changes for 2025
Thank you
How much does the SE trim cost at the dealer? I was quoted $34,000 for this trim. Where can I buy it at your price?
The prices listed in our videos are typically the base msrp for the trim. Once cars get to dealers they will have destination fees which are typically over $1,000 plus any other fees or involuntary dealer add-ons or accessories
I got a SE with the convenience & weather package. It listed for $33.542. that included Port of entry add-ons and destination. we settled at $31 087. After TT&L it was 34.000
The 2RS in crimson metallic would be my option.
Very nice configuration
From which trim comes with 360 cameras? Thx
I dont know why but that camry, top trim level over $40k, it's insane to me.
Definitely a little harder to justify
Very informative! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you! You spelled it out perfectly!
Happy to help, thanks!!
Just went with the sport . TY for the vid
Great choice!
Very well done and explained. Excellent job of breaking down every nuance regarding each model.
Thank you, hope it helped!
As someone about to change to a rav4, everything was great until I noticed that the only models that get the ventilated seats (absolute must as I live in a very warm place) were the trd off-road and the Limited. If the XSE had brought it, I would 100% jump on it for the sport suspensions.
If you were interested in the RAV4 Prime, the XSE is the top of that lineup and has more features but it is more expensive
Honda drives me crazy with their pricing. They know how to rip you off.
You can definitely get more value from competitors
My wife and I test drove all three of these cars - the gas Toyota, the gas Honda, and the non-turbo Mazda. She loved the Mazda because simply put - the interior she loved much more than the other two cars. The killer was while the Toyota would only sell for over $4000 over MSRP and the Honda would only sell for $2000 over MSRP, we got a 2023 Mazda with Premium Plus for $10,000 under MSRP. - essentially the same car for a lot less money. It may get worse gas mileage, but it is going to take a long time to make up at current gas prices the $10,000 in savings.
That’s an awesome deal!
@@toptrims Thanks! We thought so as well!
Best comprehensive review on the web... excellent information!
That’s our goal, thank you!!
I just bought a limited hybrid- I’ve had it for almost 2 weeks and love it!
That’s awesome, congrats!
RAV4, recreational adventure vehicle…… If the “4” stands for 4 wheel drive, how come not all of them 4 wheel drive?
Great question
Will Kia carnival be introducing an AWD option in the future? Also, in cold-weather regions like Indiana, Chicago, Minnesota, would it be problematic not to have AWD? Can you provide some guidance?
As far as I know, no plans this generation for an AWD option. A good set of winter tires could be better than AWD with the wrong tires. You probably wouldn’t be getting through real deep snow but it would be fairly safe on the road
@@toptrims Thanks for your Reply.
