1991 Toyota Camry 2.2L 5MT FWD (136 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Toyota introduced the third generation of the Camry in 1991 for selected markets and in 1992 in the U.S., continuing a legacy of reliable and trustworthy vehicles.

Maybe the styling was not one of the Camry’s best-selling points, but its reliability was already known by customers. In addition, the added comfort and safety features helped Toyota to sell this vehicle in large numbers.

With a styling that resembled the Lexus ES300, the 1992 Camry featured a clean design that mimicked European premium sedans. Its front fascia featured a narrow grille adorned with horizontal slats and horizontal headlights curved on their upper sides. The corner-mounted turn signals sported clear lenses and amber bulbs. From its profile, the Camry showed black or chromed trims around the windows, depending on the trim level. In addition, a sportier version named SE also got a wing on the trunk.

Inside, the spacious sedan provided plenty of room for up to five passengers. Since it relied on a front-wheel drive platform, the center tunnel was short, so the middle-seated occupant from the rear bench seat didn’t feel cramped. The instrument cluster was visually extended and connected with the center stack in a BMW-like design with a curved panel over both elements. But the Camry was also built for long roads, and that’s why Toyota created a 14.9 cu-ft (422-liter) trunk.

Another important upgrade compared to its predecessor was found underneath the hood. Toyota provided the Camry with either a four-banger or a V6 mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic, depending on the options.
