| 2007 Toyota Camry Solara Gains Revised Styling, Plus Safety And Audio Enhancements
For the 2007 model year, Toyota Camry Solara is raising the bar in the sporty coupe segment as it receives one of Toyota's most extensive mid-life cycle changes to date. Refreshed and updated, Camry Solara has several exterior and interior styling changes, additional standard safety equipment, and enhanced audio and convenience features.
2007 Toyota Camry Solara is distinguished by a redesigned front fascia, including the bumper with sporty mesh inserts, grille, headlamps and fog lamps. Also new, High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps are standard on the Sport and available for the SLE grade. On all grades, a restyled rear bumper with integrated, side back up lamps and eye-catching LED taillights has been adopted. A rear spoiler accentuates the sporty profile.
2007 Toyota Camry Solara Sport grade, formerly SE Sport, is more differentiated for 2007. The Sport grade features unique 17-inch alloy wheels, with an aggressive five-spoke design and polished chrome finish, a larger profile rear spoiler and unique chrome exhaust tip. The Solara Sport continues with its bold body panel treatment, specially tuned suspension and dark-charcoal interior with black graphite-style trim.
Solara continues to offer four-cylinder and V6 power choices, and fuel efficiency remains exemplary for the class: four-cylinder Solara models are rated at 25 MPG city/34 MPG highway with the optional five-speed automatic transmission and 24 MPG city/34 MPG highway with the standard five-speed manual. 2007 Solara Convertible is powered exclusively by a 210-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 engine, which is also available on Solara coupe models.
Toyota enhanced the Solara interior for 2007. The instrument panel now features standard Optitron meters for a more upscale look. A new audio system integrates an audio auxillary input jack, MP3 CD playback and satellite radio capability, and SE and Sport grades now include a standard six-disc CD changer.
The available navigation system for the Solara SLE has been upgraded to a new fifth-generation unit for 2007 that features voice activation. The new navigation system is integrated with the optional premium JBL audio system and features a four-disc in-dash CD changer, plus Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free telephone compatibility. The hands-free calling feature is also available on SE and Sport grades without navigation.
The (2006) Solara Convertible was named "Best Value in America" for Convertibles under $39,000 by ViNCENTRiC, whose automotive cost-of-ownership data are used by organizations such as Kiplinger's Personal Finance and The AutoChannel.com.
"The Solara is a rarity among coupes and convertibles in today's market - a car that is stylish and sporty yet still roomy and practical and with proven Toyota quality and good value," said Jim Lentz, Toyota Motor Sales executive vice president.
2007 Solara Coupe is available in three model grades: SE, highlighted by sporty metallic finish interior trim; Sport with its unique exterior styling, enhanced handling and special interior trim, and the SLE with additional luxury content and woodgrain-style interior trim.
Toyota Camry Solara Convertible is available in SE, Sport and SLE grades. The Sport Convertible, a newly added model for 2007, shares the Sport Coupe's dark-charcoal interior with black graphite-style trim and 17-inch alloy wheels along with the front and rear underbody spoilers and rocker panel moldings.
