About this generation

Second generation Toyota Camry Solara coupe and convertible featuring sweeping aerodynamic styling lines built on the Camry XV30 platform.

The second generation Toyota Camry Solara (E120 series) was introduced in mid-2003 as a 2004 model. Constructed on the foundation of the Camry XV30 sedan, the Solara wore a distinct body design characterized by sweeping teardrop lighting clusters and flowing aerodynamic profile contours, achieving a drag coefficient of 0.29. The lineup again offered both a two-door hardtop coupe and a two-door convertible featuring a motorized electro-hydraulic soft top. Interior styling integrated Optitron gauge cluster illumination, metallic or simulated wood trim accents, and automatic climate controls.

The base powertrain was a 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE four-cylinder engine generating 157 horsepower, while upper trims received a 3.3-liter 3MZ-FE V6 engine delivering 225 horsepower paired with a new five-speed automatic transmission. Four-cylinder variants were offered with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. A 2006 facelift updated the front fascia with LED taillamps, revised alloy wheel options, MP3 compatibility, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Production of the Solara concluded in 2008.
