The headlights/grille and the taillights are different. The 1.5's taillights have rounded shapes inside them, whereas 1's are straight.

I am not aware of any mechanical differences, although I drove a 1.5 convertible and it's v6 sounded a bit throatier than mine.

Gen 1.5s have vvti on the 3.0 v6 so it added some more hp and torque.

The gen 1.5 v6 doesn't have VVT-i. The Gen 1 and gen 1.5 v6 motor is the same.

The gen 1 has a 5s-fe 2.2L i-4 while the gen 1.5 has the 2az-fe 2.4l i-4 engine with VVT-i.

The diff between the gen 1 and gen 1.5 are mostly cosmetic...

Exteriors been pointed out already.

V6 was the same, I4 engine went from 2.2L 135HP 5SFE to the 2.4L 160HP 2AZFE w/ VVT-i.

Trunk release became a push button electronic release from the pulley lever, and got moved to inside the glove compartment from under the driver seat.

Wood trim went from Burlwood to Mustard,
1.5 also got wood trim around the shifter, gen1 is black around the shifter.

I think fog lights became independent on gen 1.5 (dont need the headlights on to turn on fogs). Also the gen 1.5 shared foglights with the Gen6 Camry (02-06).

Headlights went from a dual filament bulb (9003) to one bulb for high (9005), and one bulb for low (9006).
