Product Overview

Toyota Camry Solara Mk2 Convertible (chassis code XV30) is a large convertible in production from 2003 to 2008. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.4 to 3.3 liters.
Compared to the original Solara Convertible, the Mk2 has a more modern styling. It also shared its platform with the Toyota Camry and Lexus ES, making it the only large-ish Toyota in a convertible body style.
Toyota has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The car has an improved suspension setup that is comfortable but not at all sporty.
