In 2004, the Camry was offered with two engine sizes: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter V6.
The term “size” here refers to engine displacement—the amount of air and fuel the engine can burn per cycle. The 2.4-liter engine is the base option, while the 3.0-liter V6 provides more power. Below are the key specs for each engine and the associated transmission choices.
Engine options and specifications
Two engines were available in the 2004 Camry, each paired with a different automatic transmission. The information below covers typical US-market configurations.
- 2.4-liter I4 (2AZ-FE) — Approximately 157 horsepower and about 161 lb-ft of torque. Typical transmission is a 4-speed automatic; front-wheel drive is standard. Manual transmission was not offered in most US models.
- 3.0-liter V6 (1MZ-FE) — Approximately 210–220 horsepower and about 220–225 lb-ft of torque. Typical transmission is a 5-speed automatic; front-wheel drive is standard.
In practice, power and gear ratios could vary by market and equipment level, but these figures capture the general range of what the 2004 Camry offered.
Other size considerations
Beyond engine displacement, some buyers consider exterior and interior footprint, overall mass, and available trim packages. The 2004 Camry remained a mid-size sedan designed to balance interior space with a comfortable ride, regardless of engine choice.
Note: If you are asking about a specific car (VIN, trim, or market), the exact engine code and performance figures can vary. Checking the vehicle's badge, owner's manual, or a VIN-decoding resource will confirm the exact size for that car.
Summary
The 2004 Toyota Camry offered two engine sizes: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter V6, with corresponding automatic transmissions (4-speed for the four-cylinder and 5-speed for the V6). This reflects the model’s approach to providing a balance of efficiency and power for mid-size sedan buyers.
