Toyota Camry Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1996–2002) — Fifth Generation
If you’re considering a fifth-generation Toyota Camry sedan, weigh your driving routine alongside the condition of the individual car. A documented maintenance history can matter as much as your preferred engine and gearbox.
Toyota Camry engine and transmission choices include gasoline examples such as the automatic 2.0 AT and 2.2 AT, plus the manual 2.4 MT. These all use front-wheel drive. An automatic reduces effort in stop-and-go traffic, while a manual gives you direct control over gear selection but requires clutch operation.
