Advanced Active and Passive Safety

All Camry Solara models are equipped with a direct tire pressure monitor system and standard side airbags, with coupe models gaining standard front and rear side curtain airbags for 2007.

Four-wheel disc brakes and an anti-lock brake system (ABS) help provide responsive, reliable stopping power on all Solara models, and the SLE V6 can also be equipped with optional Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with traction control. VSC helps maintain direction during cornering by manipulating engine torque and individual wheel-braking control when it detects tire slippage.


Sporty and Roomy

Camry Solara models provide levels of room and practicality unexpected in coupes and convertibles. The model's 107.1-inch wheelbase allows for a roomy interior, particularly in the rear seat, where many coupe and convertible models can feel confining. Solara passengers will find ample headroom and legroom in the rear seat, as well as generous front and rear shoulder and hip room.

Compared to its closest competitor, Solara Coupe offers 3.5 inches more rear legroom and nearly an inch more rear headroom. The Solara coupe models offer flexibility for passengers and cargo with a standard 60/40 split/fold-down rear seat with adjustable headrests. Versatile interior storage space in all Solara models includes a front console box, cup holders that double as additional storage, and a center console that provides dual storage compartments.


Two Levels of Sporty Power

All Camry Solara Coupe grades come equipped as standard with a double overhead cam (DOHC) 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 155 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 158 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,000 RPM.

The all-aluminum 3.3-liter V6 produces 210 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 220 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,600 RPM, with ample torque at low and mid-range speeds. In both engines, Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) ensures an even spread of power across the engine speed range for sporty response.

The smooth, quick-revving four-cylinder engine comes equipped as with a crisp-shifting five-speed manual transmission. A five-speed automatic transmission with intelligent electronic controls is optional. The V6 is teamed with the five-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment and features a gated shifter with sequential shift mode to help produce lively performance and excellent fuel efficiency.

All Solara models receive California Level II Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV-II) and EPA Tier II Bin 5 certification.


Confident Handling, Quiet Running

Camry Solara provides a quiet, serene ride reminiscent of luxury models. The Solara Coupe registers a 0.29 coefficient of drag (Cd), which helps to minimize wind noise. Foam filler in the roof and pillar panels further helps to subdue road and wind noise. Vibration-damping and noise-suppressant materials are used throughout the cabin, as well as in the wheel housings, dash panel and trunk.

In Camry Solara Convertible, reinforcements optimally located throughout the vehicle provide high torsional rigidity, resulting in a smooth, quiet ride and responsive handling.
