Powertrain Options and Availability

A 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine was standard under Camry hoods, rated at 133 horsepower (raised to 136 in 2000). Any model might have the optional dual-overhead-cam V6 instead, making 194 horsepower. Except for the CE series, a 4-speed automatic transmission was standard. Horsepower/torque ratings were slightly lower when sold with California emissions equipment. Solara engines were rated at 135 and 200 horsepower, respectively, in 1999. Solara's 4-cylinder rose to 138 horsepower in 2000. In 2002, the 2.2-liter four was replaced by a 2.4-liter unit. It made 157 horsepower and again mated to either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.
