DX or LE ??

1586 Views 16 Replies 13 Participants Last post by  RAV4EVR
I recently purchased a GEN 3.5 FOUR CYLINDER. It does not say LE or anything on it. Just "Toyota" and "Camry" and "toyota symbol" emblems in the back.

My guess is that it is a DX, although the registration paperwork says LE on it.

Why I think so.....

1) It is a stickshift.I don' think they put a manual trans in a GEN 3.5 LE.
2) The driver and passenger seats have "Vinyl???" in the back. It is not all cloth.

HOWEVER, I do have power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, remote entry and a factory cassette player.

Oh by 3.5 I meant Generation 3.5. I should be writing that.
It has a 2.2 litre engine. Yea I think it is a DX. Thanks.
Okay. DX i think

Stick only came in DX i believe. The seats might of been swapped in or a dealer extra cost.

Enjoy it!
same thing with mine, it doesn't say anything like LE or DX, but on my registration it says DX, so that's what i've always called it. :dunno:

4 cyl. is 2.2L.
It's DX. The vinyl seats give it away immediately. Also, the manual 5-speed only came with the DX model. Some people have installed all the LE options into a DX just because they wanted the stick shift.
another way to tell is by the power antenna mast. If it has power it is LE if it is manual on the drivers side a-pillar it is DX. DIdnt the DX also have the blacked out center trunk panel like the SE did.

Everything you ahve described though points to DX with power package.
hmm...nice....comforts of an LE...manual of a DX...like RedPhoenix said..enjoy the manual.


other signs:

blacked out or non color coordinated rear camry deck...(where it says camry)
antenna in the A- pillar instead of the rear deck (maybe not in your case...maybe it came with the power upgrade)
Different wheel cover than the LE ...DX has almost all whole...unlike the LE
Rear view mirror and door handles not the same color as the body.

i know know what else
yeah, by those specs. that you just pointed out, then i defiantly had the DX, mirrors weren't painted, i had the antenna on the roof on the A-pillar...but i had a full-size spare tire, with everything electric, includeing factory toyota alarm.
maby it's GX :>
^^ lol, i think you meant LX.... but anyways, it sounds like a DX. in the latest 3.5 models the DX were almost equal in equipment to the LE, except for the nice seat fabric and the such...

Yea like someone already said, the 4banger is 2.2L and the biggest V6 in that GENERATION is a 3.0L. Same engine u can find in your 90-98 Lexus ES300
umm...i think he understood that....he meantioned it as a generation 3.5...it was someone else who confused what rav4ever meant.

:werd:, DX....I'll put $ on it.....though camrys with 5 speeds....well :boink:
From what u all have described, it is confirmed that mine is a DX.
About a year down the road, I may get the 1992-96 XLE V6 wheels for it from ebay or junkyard. I just love those.

How do u say in French? "Merci Beacoup!"
