Hey guys,
I've had my 4.5 gen (00) Camry (5SFE) for four years now (I absolutely LOVE it) and recently purchased my first bucket list vehicle (95 SC400). I can't seem to leave the Yota game because of how awesome these cars and the people are. I've always enjoyed the body style of the 5th gen, specifically with the wing, so V6, but it seems the SE is the only one that comes with it. I have also noticed numerous differences with the instrument cluster and options. I'm not new to forums, but I have had issues finding a breakdown of the 5th gen V6 trim options, from everything to instrument clusters to leather to navigation. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or has any knowledge regarding this?

Generic:
  • Base
  • LE
  • SE
  • XLE
There is more than this but these are sort of the basics for the Camry.
Sorta Current:
  • L
  • LE
  • SE
  • XSE
  • XLE
Your best bet is to look for old reviews of those years assuming those were archived. This might help too.

I do have the sale brochures...not for each year but I can tell you what options were on them.

Some quick info...I'll find the brochures later...

2002-2004 had LE, SE, XLE.
2004 had a limited edition model with a special grill and special paint with a special interior cloth fabric.
2005-2006 had unbadged (no badges, just 'TOYOTA CAMRY), LE, SE, and XLE.

V6 was only an option in the LE, SE, and XLE. The 2005-2006 unbadged giveaway is unpainted side mirrors.

The spoiler were an add-on option. SE comes standard. XLE/LE can come with it, but it's optional.
Moonroof was an option for all trim
V6 all came with engine immobilizer (transponder)
LE/SE/unbadged for 05-06 had analog dials for HAVC. XLE 02-06 all had the soft touch buttons climate control
2002-2003 models had non-chrome door handles for LE....I think SE/XLE had chrome plated. 2004+ all had chrome plated interior door handles.

2005 SE V6 here. Has the wing, 17”alloys, instrumentation cluster is amber instead of the usual Camry white. Has the SE and V6 badges. Sunroof, cloth, JBL 6-disc system. Navigation is fairly rare from what I hear. Just passed 98K today!

Appreciate the response. I decided on an 06 V6 SE (shortly after posting this), because orange gauges are cool, especially in a Yota. However, they are difficult to find, and my 5SFE is plenty of power for dd. What's cool about the SE is you get most of the same features in the 6 with the 4. LOVE the instrument clusters of the 05-06. Same with the 04-08 Acura TSX cluster and the 04-09 Subaru Legacy cluster. But I've since changed my mind and optioned for a 2012 Corolla S, because better gas mileage, a sunroof, and manual. I've discovered I don't like coupes as much as I once did, hence selling the SC400.

That's awesome man! De-badge, tint, and lower with TRD springs if you can find them. GPS is rare. Enjoy!
