The four-cylinder engine could be had with a five-speed manual or four-speed [[Automatic transmission|automatic]], while the [[V6|V6]] was matched to a five-speed [[Automatic transmission|automatic]] with E-shift. Both engines feature Toyota's VVT-i technology. Unlike the first generation Solara, the '''SLE''' on the new model could be had with either the four-cylinder or [[V6|V6]] engine. The Solara with the 3.3 L engine can go from 0 to 60 mph in under seven seconds and run down the quarter mile in the low 15s.
