1991 Toyota Camry 3.0L V6 4AT FWD (188 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.
