    Going to buy either a LE or XLE tomorrow, other than the bigger screen, what are the major differences in the 2020 trim level?

    Some of them; XLE has:
    • Predictive Fuel-Efficient Drive
    • Premium Audio with Integrated Navigation
    • Qi-Compatible Wireless Smartphone Charging
    • Smart Charging Cable Lock
    • SofTex®-Trimmed Seating

    We preferred the LE --- seats are nice in the XLE, but we actually like the smaller display in the LE. If you're an apple person and like Carplay you might feel differently. But I've spent some time driving and older prime with the big display, and for me, I really like the physical buttons in the LE. For instance, you have a button right there instead of having to navigate the touch screen to change the temperature. Similarly for the radio.

    Cheers

    Softex instead of cloth. Big if you have kids.

    Cable lock for charger. Peace of mind for public charging.

    Auto on/off lights instead of just auto-off.

    11.6” or whatever screen.

    It was enough for me to get the XLE. Good luck with your purchase!
