Toyota Cami Generations

The 1 generation ran from May 1999 through January 2006. It used an SUV 5-doors body and included seven versions. The version range covers naturally aspirated and Turbo engines, Manual and Automatic gearboxes, and RWD and AWD configurations.

Toyota Cami Specs and Engine Specifications

All Toyota Cami versions have a Gasoline, Inline 4-cylinder engine with 4 valves per cylinder and distributed injection (multi-point). Because several versions share the exact catalogue names 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT, the table distinguishes them by power, torque, displacement, gearbox and drive.

The 92 hp 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT use a 1,295 cc engine with a compression ratio of 10 and a bore-and-stroke measurement of 76 × 71 mm. Each produces 110 Nm at 5000 rpm. Engine position is not measured for these versions.

The naturally aspirated 90 hp versions use a 1,297 cc engine, a compression ratio of 10 and a bore-and-stroke measurement of 72 × 79.7 mm. They produce 123 Nm at 3200 rpm. The RWD 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT have a Front, longitudinal engine position, while the AWD 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT have a Front, transverse position.

The Turbo 1.3 AT also has a 1,297 cc Gasoline engine, but produces 140 hp at 6400 rpm and 177 Nm at 3200 rpm. It has a compression ratio of 8.5, a 72 × 79.7 mm bore and stroke, a Front, transverse position, an Automatic 4-speed gearbox and AWD.

Toyota Cami Performance, Fuel Consumption and MPG

Acceleration from 0–100 km/h is not measured for every Toyota Cami version in the supplied data. Top speed is also not measured for every version.

City fuel consumption, highway fuel consumption and combined fuel consumption are not measured for any version. Consequently, Toyota Cami mpg is not measured in the available specifications. CO₂ output and ecological class are also not measured for every version. Each version has a 46-litre fuel tank.

The available engine figures still show clear differences. The Turbo 1.3 AT produces 140 hp and 177 Nm, giving it 50 hp and 54 Nm more than each naturally aspirated 90 hp version. Compared with the 92 hp versions, it has 48 hp and 67 Nm more. No acceleration, speed or consumption figure is available to quantify how those output differences affect road performance or economy.

Toyota Cami Dimensions, Weight and Ground Clearance

Overall exterior dimensions are not measured in the supplied data. Wheel sizes are also not measured for every Toyota Cami version.

Kerb weight depends on configuration:

Among versions with a measured kerb weight, the 1,030 kg RWD 1.3 MT is the lightest and the 1,090 kg Turbo AWD 1.3 AT is the heaviest, a difference of 60 kg. The 90 hp AWD versions have 195 mm of clearance, which is 20 mm more than the 175 mm recorded for the other versions.

Every version has Independent, spring front suspension, Disc front brakes and Drum rear brakes. The 92 hp AWD 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT have Independent, spring rear suspension. All five 1,297 cc versions have Dependent, spring rear suspension.

Toyota Cami Reliability and Common Problems

Toyota Cami reliability, common problems and Automatic transmission problems are not measured in the supplied data. No service intervals, repair records, fault statistics, engine-oil specifications or service-manual details are provided, so the catalogue cannot make a supported reliability judgment or identify recurring faults. A condition assessment of an individual vehicle therefore requires evidence beyond these specifications.

Which Toyota Cami Version to Choose?

Choose the Turbo 1.3 AT when maximum recorded output is the priority. Its 1,297 cc Turbo engine delivers 140 hp and 177 Nm, and it combines an Automatic 4-speed gearbox with AWD. It is also the heaviest version with a measured kerb weight, at 1,090 kg, and has 175 mm of ground clearance.

For the greatest recorded ground clearance, choose either the 90 hp AWD 1.3 MT or the 90 hp AWD 1.3 AT. Both provide 195 mm, a 1,297 cc naturally aspirated engine producing 123 Nm, and a Front, transverse engine position. The Manual version weighs 1,050 kg, while the Automatic version weighs 1,070 kg, so the Automatic is 20 kg heavier.

For the lowest measured kerb weight, the 90 hp RWD 1.3 MT is the choice at 1,030 kg. It has a Manual 5-speed gearbox, 175 mm of clearance and a Front, longitudinal engine position. The corresponding RWD 1.3 AT produces the same 90 hp and 123 Nm but uses an Automatic 4-speed gearbox and weighs 1,050 kg, which is 20 kg more.

The 92 hp AWD 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT share the same 1,295 cc capacity, 110 Nm output, 175 mm clearance and 1,325 kg gross weight. Their main recorded distinction is transmission: Manual with 5 speeds or Automatic with 4 speeds. Because acceleration, top speed and fuel consumption are not measured, those criteria cannot be used to make a data-supported choice.
