Camry SE ($19,975) is a sportier model, with higher-rate springs, shocks, and anti-roll bars, along with higher-effort steering and bigger (16-inch) steel wheels and P215/60 summer-only tires. A three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel and lots of bright trim add zing to the interior. The SE V6 ($23,625) adds the engine immobilizer, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and power sunroof.
The XLE ($22,395) is the most luxurious Camry, featuring wood-grain interior trim, power driver and passenger seats, automatic climate control, side-curtain airbags, JBL premium stereo with in-dash six-CD changer, a more advanced driver information center, an alarm system with engine immobilizer, a cargo net, a rear-window sunshade, and P215/60 all-season tires on 16-inch steel rims. The XLE V6 ($25,405) comes with leather seats and fancier gauges and 16-inch aluminum wheels.
The Camry Solara coupe comes in SE, SE Sport, and SLE trim levels. All coupes are available with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder or the 3.3-liter V6. Automatic transmission is standard on all except the four-cylinder SE and SE Sport, which are available with a five-speed manual. Four-cylinder Solaras still use the old four-speed automatic rather than the new five-speed automatic.
The Solara convertible comes only in SE and SLE trim, and only with a V6 and automatic transmission.
The Solara SE coupe ($19,220) is the base level in the two-door lineup and comes standard with ABS; side-impact airbags; P215/60 all-season tires on 16-inch aluminum wheels; air conditioning; cruise control; power windows, mirrors and locks with remote keyless entry; and AM/FM/CD audio. The SE V6 coupe ($21,550) is similarly equipped. Side curtain airbags are optional.
The Solara SE Sport coupe ($20,715) comes with sport-tuned suspension and P215/55R17 all-season tires on 17-inch aluminum wheels; it also gets aggressive exterior appliques; and substitutes Graphite and Charcoal trim for a lot of the SE's interior brightwork. Solara SE Sport V6 ($23,045) is similarly equipped.
The Solara SLE ($23,095) is the most luxurious model with automatic climate control, power moonroof, JBL stereo with six-disc CD changer, power seats and woodgrain interior trim. Choose the SLE V6 ($26,095) and you also get leather seats and the same sport suspension and performance tires as the SE Sport.
Solara SE V6 convertible ($25,950) comes with the SE Sport's dark interior trim and 17-inch wheels, but is otherwise equipped much like the SE V6 coupe. The SLE V6 convertible ($29,450) is equipped the same as the SLE V6 coupe.
Leather upholstery is optional for the Camry SE and XLE sedans and Solara SLE coupe ($1,365-$1,630). A DVD-based Navigation Package, which includes leather upholstery, is optional on the Camry SE V6 sedan ($3,205) and XLE V6 sedan ($1,450). Navigation is also available on Solara SLE V6 coupe and convertible ($1,350), but only in combination with other options.
For all models, we highly recommend side-impact and/or side-curtain airbags ($400-$650) or, better still, a package for the sedan that includes side-impact and side-curtain airbags, electronic stability control (VSC), traction control and brake assist ($1,300). VSC is a stand-alone option on Solara ($650) but requires side-curtain airbags on the coupe ($400) and navigation on the convertible ($1,350). Next Page
