Configuration is not the same as trim. EPA records can separate engines, fuel systems, transmissions or driven wheels without identifying badges such as LX, XLE or Touring. Confirm the retail trim with the window sticker, build sheet or manufacturer VIN portal.

All rows are visible in the page and link to their exact government record. EPA configurations identify tested hardware, not guaranteed retail trim names.

What the official records cover.

Each option above is tied to a unique FuelEconomy.gov vehicle ID. EPA names sometimes expose a retail badge such as LE or Woodland Edition, but many records identify only the tested mechanical configuration.

How to identify yours

Match the hardware before the badge.

  1. 1

    Start with fuel and powertrain. Check whether the vehicle is gasoline, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric or fuel-cell.

  2. 2

    Match driven wheels and engine. Use FWD, RWD, AWD or 4WD plus displacement/cylinder information from the window sticker or registration.

  3. 3

    Confirm the exact EPA record. Select the closest option and open its FuelEconomy.gov link. Use a VIN-specific build sheet when you need the retail trim or option package.

Before you try a feature: equipment, trim, powertrain, market and software can change availability. Open the guide and check its exact scope.

Features worth knowing.

Written instructions are primary. Videos appear only when we can match a useful clip to the feature and scope.

Retail trims and named packages are separate from equipment requirements. Equipment-only guides remain visible; confirm the final factory build from the window sticker or owner portal.
