Product Overview

Toyota Camry 5 (code XV30) is an affordable mid-size sedan in production from 2001 to 2004, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.4 to 3.3 liters.
As it usually the case for Toyota's global models, the Gen5 Camry was assembled in many countries with many variations. It was related to the XV30 Lexus ES.
The more interesting engine was the 3.3L 3MZ-FE V6 engine that came out just before the facelift; it replaced the 1MZ-FE V6 which had different outputs depending on whether it features VVT-i variable valve timing. No diesel was offered.
Toyota has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.
