2006 Toyota Camry

A brief background, specifications, and standard and optional features for the 2006 Toyota Camry. All trim levels-standard, LE, SE, and XLE-are discussed.

Arguably the best known of Toyota's midsize family sedans, the Camry is a favorite for a variety of reasons: its comfort, its reliability, and its features. The Toyota Camry's current look is due to its latest redesign that took place in 2002. Estimated fuel mileage estimates are 24 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway (for four-cylinder).

Three engines are available on the Camry. The first is the standard engine for all Camrys. It is a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine that produces 154 horsepower. A five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic are the transmission options for this engine. Next, there is a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 190 horsepower. This is available only on the LE, XLE trim levels. Finally, there is a 3.3-liter V6 that produces 210 horsepower. This last engine is available only on the SE. V6 engines come only with automatic transmissions.

Base MSRP starts at $18,985 for the standard Camry and goes up to $26,345 for the XLE.
