The overview
Available in coupe and convertible versions, the Camry Solara is a sportier, two-door version of the Camry sedan. While the ride is comfortable and well controlled, it's noticeably tauter than that of the four-door. Handling is also more nimble, though it falls short of feeling sporty. Over the years, engine choices included adequate four-cylinders and a smooth, strong V6. The Solara's cabin is well-appointed and serenely quiet, and the front seats are comfortable and supportive. The rear seat is suitable for two average-sized adults. Our tested convertible suffered from some body shake, but the top is well insulated. Rearward visibility, however, was horrible.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
