2011 Toyota Camry Solara

2011 Toyota Camry Solara is a fairly straightforward and has a user-friendly design. Base 2011 Solara SE models have the same 157 horsepower 2.4 litre 4 cylinder engine as last year while SE V6 and SLE V6 Solara’s have a new 225 horsepower 3.3 litre V6 engine replacing the 200 horsepower 3.0 litre V6. Solara SE’s come with a standard four-speed automatic transmission, and SE V6 and SLE V6 models get a new 5-speed automatic with manual shifting mode. A traditional manual transmission is not offered. Interior is roomy for coupe.

The 2011 Toyota Camry Solara’s interior is fairly roomy. It seats five passengers rather than four, and with a wheelbase that is 50 mm longer than the previous Solara, there is noticeably more rear legroom. Headroom and shoulder room have also been increased, but in the rear seat, headroom is limited to adults under 5′ 10″ tall.

The darker hue of the dash is offset by carbon-fibre-like dash trim and bright metal-like plastic trim on the centre instrument panel. With the optional Sport Package, you also get sportier seat fabric, leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather shift knob, and aluminum gas and brake pedals. The  2011 Toyota Camry Solara’s front sport seats offer excellent thigh and lower body support, and include a manual lumbar adjustment for the middle of the back. On top of the dash are additional LCD readouts: an information display operated by a button on the steering wheel spoke; a digital clock; and an outside temperature gauge. There’s also a compass in the rearview mirror, and a sunglasses holder in the overhead console. Standard safety features include dual-stage front air bags for driver and passenger, and side air bags mounted in the front seats.

2011 Toyota Camry Solara has the agility of a sports car and smoothness of a sedan. The available V6 3.0-liter DOHC 24-valve engine not only powers the Solara with 200 hp, it does so with a tranquil purr. From cruising through the city, to setting out in pursuit of the horizon, The 2011 Solara is one sweet ride. The 2011 2011 Toyota Camry Solara has been restyled from front to back. Leading the way is a bolder front grille and 4-bulb headlights for the road ahead, while Solara’s new taillights leave a stylish trail behind you. With such refined looks, you won’t want to park the Solara, as much as put it on display. The Solara interior — a perfect blend of form and function. Within its ergonomically designed cabin are distinctive touches, including a 3-spoke steering wheel and elegant wood trim, providing a comfortable sanctuary from the outside world.
