The chart above shows you window features, seating material, engine, and transmission type of the three trim levels, which gives you a good idea of how features are upgraded as you choose more expensive trim levels. The higher trim levels have a few of the same upgrades, but there is plenty to differentiate them as well. The SX Limited, as the highest trim level, has many exclusive features such as stainless steel pedals, standard heated 2nd-row seats, standard ventilated front-row seats, a standard Surround View Monitor (SVM), and more.
Just because a trim level has less upgrades, does not make it a bad option. Some could prefer the cloth seating surfaces of the L or the simplicity of having less features. Plus, the lower trim levels have better price points and some of the best fuel economy ratings. For example, the L has a standard EPA fuel economy rating of 22 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway with its standard Front Wheel Drive system. The LX V6 trim level and higher trim levels have an EPA fuel economy rating of 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway with the standard All Wheel Drive system.
