Did Toyota ever make a 2 door Camry?
No—Toyota did not offer a two-door Camry as a stand-alone model. The closest production car was the Camry Solara, a separate two-door coupe (and, in its first generation, a convertible in some markets) built on Camry underpinnings and sold from 1998 to 2008.
The Camry Solara: A two-door option derived from Camry
The question centers on whether Toyota ever released a two-door version under the Camry badge. Instead, Toyota produced the Camry Solara, a distinct model line based on the Camry platform but marketed as its own name. The Solara was produced in two generations between 1998 and 2008, offering a two-door coupe and, during the first generation, a convertible variant in some regions.
First generation (1998–2003)
The first-generation Solara established the two-door Camry-derived formula. It was offered as a two-door coupe, and in some markets a convertible variant was available. The Solara shared many components with the Camry, but it carried its own styling and market positioning as a sportier alternative to the four-door Camry.
Key characteristics of the first generation include:
- Body style: two-door coupe (with a convertible version available in some markets)
- Shared underpinnings with the Camry
- Distinct design cues aimed at a sportier audience
- Limited rear-seat and cargo flexibility compared with four-door sedans
In summary, the first-generation Solara proved Toyota could deliver a two-door option derived from Camry engineering, but it was sold as a separate model rather than a Camry badge.
Second generation (2004–2008)
The second-generation Solara continued the two-door coupe concept with improved styling and features, while remaining a standalone model distinct from the Camry sedan. This generation did not offer a factory convertible, and the Solara remained the brand’s two-door alternative built on Camry mechanics and components.
Key changes in the second generation included:
- Continuation of the two-door coupe layout
- No factory convertible option
- Refined styling and updated interior and technology for a mid-2000s market
The two-door Solara line ultimately wrapped up in 2008, after which Toyota did not revive a two-door Camry-branded model.
Bottom line
Toyota never produced a two-door Camry badge. The company offered the Camry Solara as a distinct, two-door (coupe) variant based on Camry engineering, with a brief convertible option in its first generation. The Solara was discontinued after 2008, and the Camry line has remained four-door-only in its modern iterations.
Summary
In short, the two-door Camry did not exist as a standalone model. The closest and only two-door counterpart was the Camry Solara, sold from 1998 to 2008 (coupe, and briefly a convertible in early years). If you’re looking for a Toyota with Camry roots and two doors, the Solara is the historical reference point, but it carried its own name rather than wearing the Camry badge.
