I'm trying to solidify which seats are leather/softex vs which ones have the outside softex and the center fabric/cloth. I thought Toyota used to distinguish by calling them "softex" vs "softex trimmed," but now they just use the "trimmed" on everything. My dealer didn't seem clear on small details like this, and I can't validate before ordering with no inventory.

Per the brochure:

LE: Fabric
XLE: Fabric
XLE Premium: Softex
SE: Fabric
XSE: Softex (update: with fabric inserts per a dealer)
Limited: Softex

Can anyone who owns or has seen a 2022 confirm if any have fabric on the center of the seat instead of being all softex? In another thread, someone said the XSE had fabric centers, but I assume that would also apply to the XLE Premium. If I have to go up to Limited to actually sit on a smooth material, I think I'll just get aftermarket leather. Thanks!

Also: if there's some way of telling on other models through verbiage or photos, please share, as I'm not fully decided on Camry vs Rav4.

Update: I had a dealer that did confirm the XSE is not 100% softex, but the XLE Premium and Limited are. I couldn't find many photos online, but videos do appear to confirm this, based on appearance. The XSE has a clearly different, striped area that is fabric.

Friend just bought a '22 Rav4h on the low end and had the dealer arrange for what look like Softex covers to be put on. Last time he drove me I commented how nice they look.
I did too on a '12 Prius v and liked them.
Like my '10 Limited with heated, cooled all Softex.
