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