PRICE : For 2016 Chevrolet Camaro - $25,700

The biggest alter for the novel model twelvemonth is the add-on of a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder every bit the Camaro's base of operations engine. Although small, the turbocharged mill cranks out 275 horsepower as well as 295 lb-ft of torque, putting it nearly on par amongst the V8s offered inwards the Camaro during the 1990s

Shifting through either a measure six-speed manual transmission or an optional eight-speed automatic, the Camaro 2.0L turbo tin dismiss accelerate from 0-60 inwards every bit picayune every bit 5.4 seconds. Despite that potent performance, the four-cylinder-powered Camaro should render ameliorate than 30mpg on the highway.

A 3.6L V6 stands every bit the Camaro's step-up engine as well as includes many upgrades over terminal year's V6, including direct-injection as well as Active Fuel Management for ameliorate economy. Also available amongst a six-speed manual or eight-speed auto, the Camaro V6 pumps out 335 horsepower as well as 284 lb-ft of torque as well as is capable of running from 0-60 inwards 5.1 seconds. When equipped amongst the eight-speed auto the Camaro V6 returned 19mpg inwards the metropolis as well as 28mpg on the highway.

All Camaro models ride on General Motors' latest Alpha rear-wheel elbow grease platform borrowed from the Cadillac ATS. That novel architecture agency the Camaro is to a greater extent than stiff than before, but, possibly to a greater extent than importantly, significantly lighter, too. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 four-cylinder Camaro is 390 pounds lighter than terminal year's V6 piece today's Camaro V6 is 294 pounds lighter than the model it replaces.

Exterior styling for the latest Camaro is all-new but isn't radically dissimilar from the terminal iteration of the iconic musculus car. The Camaro retains its long hood/short decklid pattern philosophy, amongst a sloping roofline adding to the car's sporting proportions. Rearward visibility remains a Camaro occupation cheers to thick C-pillars as well as a relatively little nurture window.

Like its exterior, the interior of the latest Camaro is novel but silent familiar. The pony car's take in stack has been totally redesigned as well as immediately includes an available eight-inch high-resolution touchscreen (a seven-inch touchscreen is standard) running Chevrolet's latest MyLink infotainment scheme amongst WiFi connectivity. The scheme is also compatible amongst Apple's CarPlay. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 minute eight-inch covert resides inwards the Camaro's principal estimate cluster as well as provides a broad hit of information, from performance specs to management from the optional navigation system.

The Camaro's climate command scheme has been totally redesigned as well as immediately features 2 large air vents inwards the take in stack that also double every bit controls for the HVAC system. Storage inwards the Camaro is essentially express to a little under-armrest cubby as well as the glove box.

The Camaro's front end buckets offering a decent amount of space, but the car's high belt occupation as well as chopped roof don't construct for an airy cabin. The Camaro's nurture seats are extremely tight as well as are best suited for little children.

EXTERIOR

Although the 2016 Camaro isn’t radically dissimilar than its predecessor on the outside, it’s quite obvious that each panel as well as particular has been reworked. Less noticeable but dorsum past times the official specs is the fact that the novel Camaro is a flake smaller than the previous car. It is well-nigh 2 inches shorter inwards length, generally due to a shorter wheelbase, an inch slimmer inwards width, as well as an inch shorter inwards height. It also has shorter overhangs, which basically makes it seem less of a pony as well as to a greater extent than of a sports coupe.

Styling-wise, it remains recognizable every bit a Camaro. Up front, the grille/headlamps organisation changed mildly inwards shape as well as size, sticking to the slim layout introduced past times the previous model. The mesh for the grille received a novel design, piece the headlamps showcase a novel LED pattern that circles beneath the principal lite bulb as well as into the plough signals. All models but the range-topping SS characteristic horizontal chrome strips betwixt the "bowtie" emblem as well as the headlamps.

Bigger changes are noticeable below, where a larger intake replaces the previous unit. On the SS model, the trapezoidal gap uses the same mesh pattern from the upper grille, piece the remaining trims characteristic horizontal bars as well as chrome inserts. Two additional vents amongst horizontal DRLs flank the SS’ grille, piece other models utilization vertical LED strips. Both heighten the Camaro’s aggressiveness, but the SS’ layout is apparently the sportiest. The bulged engine hood continues amongst modest changes, which is bully tidings if you lot inquire me.

Around back, modifications include a nicely sculpted bumper as well as novel taillights. The latter seem to get got a flake of Corvette inwards them, sporting a quad-like appearance rather than the unitary aspect of the fifth-gen gen. This is an all-new pattern for the Camaro, which strays pretty far from the previous pattern that relied heavily on the first-gen Camaro’s taillights. Purists powerfulness non similar it, but it’s a fresh aspect that suits a 21st century Camaro only fine.

The black, diffuser-like slice is a lot thinner now, no longer extending into the license plate expanse of the bumper. It’s genuinely closer to an actual diffuser design-wise as well as improves the nurture end’s aspect dramatically. Again, it’s an development toward that sports coupe appearance both Ford as well as Chevy are aiming for their musculus cars. All versions characteristic circular exhaust tips. As usual, the SS employs a quad-pipe layout, piece the remainder characteristic ane tip on each side.

When viewed from the side, the novel Camaro stands out cheers to a to a greater extent than dramatic, fastback-like roofline as well as to a greater extent than muscular fenders. All these changes construct the coupe to a greater extent than aerodynamic, a termination Chevy says it obtained later on 350 hours of air current tunnel testing.

INTERIOR

Step into the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro as well as you'll detect a cockpit that blends themes of the previous-gen Camaro as well as current-gen Corvette. The flat-bottom steering bike pattern is shared amongst the 2016 'Vette, as well as it includes fingertip paddles that shift through the gears inwards automatic-equipped cars as well as enable the rev-matching characteristic inwards Camaros amongst the manual transmission. Chevrolet also integrated the tachometer, speedometer as well as key driver information covert into ane consummate grouping for a cleaner, to a greater extent than modern look. Gone is the quartet of retro-inspired engine information gauges forrard of the shifter; air-conditioning vents amongst knurled surrounds that command the temperature get got replaced them.

While the exterior evokes the last-gen Camaro, the cabin is much to a greater extent than modern as well as contains references to the electrical flow Corvette.

Interior character is a flake hit-or-miss, depending on what panel or trim slice you're checking out. GM's incorporation of its latest touchscreen interface is promising, however, peculiarly considering the integration of Android Auto as well as Apple CarPlay. We haven't fully tested it, but it volition live interesting to come across how the latest MyLink scheme compares to the Challenger's splendid Uconnect touchscreen as well as the Mustang's novel Sync 3 system.

The front end seats are to a greater extent than comfortable as well as supportive than before, but the dinky backseats are strictly for little children or contortionists. You also ask to live a flake of a contortionist to come across out of the thing. As amongst the terminal Camaro, a high beltline as well as depression roof agency outward visibility inwards all directions is sorely lacking. Plus, amongst a express amount of lite entering the cabin through the narrow windows, the interior tin dismiss experience nighttime as well as claustrophobic. But hey, it's a Camaro, right? The signal is to aspect expert as well as plough heads, or as well as thence the logic goes.

PERFORMANCE PART & ACCESSORIES

Just similar its predecessor, the sixth-gen Camaro received its ain part of performance parts as well as accessories.

In the performance department, both the Camaro SS as well as the Camaro LT instruct a performance exhaust kit. The axle-back scheme heighten the good of the 6.2-liter V-8 as well as the 3.6-liter V-6 and, according to Chevy, offering "a premium appearance," which in all likelihood agency the parcel also comes amongst custom exhaust pipes. But piece the exhaust is a straight replacement for the manufacturing flora scheme as well as maintains the warranty, it is non compatible amongst the optional dual-mode exhaust.

Chevy also offers a performance air intake that helps trim back air restriction. This item is only available for the SS. The listing also includes iv intermission lowering kits for both the LT as well as SS, which lower the vehicle past times upwardly to 0.8 inch. However, the kits aren’t compatible amongst the Magnetic Ride Control.

Those looking to upgrade the brakes inwards their Camaros, Chevy is offering four- as well as six-piston front end Brembo packages. The quondam was developed for LT models, piece the latter fits all versions, including the SS.

POWERTRAIN

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro engine lineup is really similar to the Mustang’s, every bit it features a turbocharged four-cylinder as well as naturally aspirated V-6 as well as V-8 options, but the blown iv volition serve every bit the base of operations motor inwards the Chevy. The 2 smaller engines volition live available inwards both LT as well as 2LT guise (they’re the only 2 trims amongst those engines), piece the eight-cylinder is over again SS-exclusive. In contrast, the V-6 Mustang is the bottom feeder as well as available amongst really picayune inwards the way of options.

The four—the starting fourth dimension inwards a Camaro inwards thirty years—and the 6 tin dismiss live ordered bolted to a Tremec TR3160 six-speed manual transmission or GM’s 8L45 eight-speed automatic. The SS gets the same transmission types as well as gear counts, but the manual is the familiar Tremec TR6060 (now amongst active rev-matching) as well as the automatic is the 8L90 that’s also available inwards the latest Corvette.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine makes 275 horsepower as well as 295 lb-ft of torque, only well-nigh equal amongst its output inwards the Cadillac ATS as well as CTS. Chevy says it’ll render to a greater extent than than thirty mpg on the highway as well as hustle the Camaro to lx mph inwards less than 6 seconds, although the companionship doesn’t specify which transmission achieves those numbers. For reference, we’ve tested the EcoBoost Mustang as well as achieved nothing to lx mph inwards 5.5 (manual) as well as 5.2 seconds (automatic). GM’s 2.0-liter is likewise coarse as well as uneven inwards its Cadillac applications, but hopefully the Camaro wizards get got constitute a way to shine out the powerfulness delivery. We also wouldn’t hear if they made it rev a picayune to a greater extent than freely.

ENGINE

Standard is the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, which may become against the measure muscle-car formula that says to a greater extent than cylinders are better, but this engine packs a punch. The upgrade from that is a to a greater extent than powerful (but amongst less torque) 3.6-liter V6 engine, amongst advanced fuel injection and, for the starting fourth dimension time, cylinder deactivation for ameliorate fuel economy. But the existent tidings is the V8, of course, immediately amongst 6.2 liters pumping out 455 horsepower inwards novel Camaro SS models, the most powerful Camaro SS e'er made. Transmissions hit from the measure 6-speed manual that includes automatic rev matching on V8 models to the novel 8-speed automatic amongst paddle shifters. Fuel-economy numbers aren't yet available, but should improve cheers to the novel engines as well as lighter body.

SAFETY

The Camaro is brand-new, as well as rides on a novel architecture, which explains why crash-test information has yet to scroll in.

As of this writing, neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS get got spot the novel pony auto through their regimen of testing. Past Camaros get got performed really good nether both serial of tests.

The 2016 Camaro is built on an solely novel platform, though. It's shared amongst the Cadillac CTS as well as ATS, which get got also aced their crash tests.

The Camaro offers to a greater extent than or less of GM's latest security technology. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 rearview photographic boob tube camera as well as Bluetooth are standard, as well as blind-spot monitors, forward-collision warnings as well as nurture parking sensors are available. The Camaro doesn't heap on other novel technologies similar lane-keeping assistance as well as adaptive cruise control, though.

The Camaro's an ode to high-strength steel, as well as what it tin dismiss exercise for safer auto design. Slimmer pillars get got cleared upwardly the sentiment out of the Camaro’s front end glass, piece a aspect backward suggests the lower seating spot as well as high tail practically mandated the now-standard rearview camera. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 surround-view fix would live welcome, too.

We'll update this page as well as this score every bit information rolls in.

FUEL ECONOMY

Fuel economic scheme for the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro predictably swings depending on engine configuration, as well as is largely inwards occupation amongst its principal competitor, the Ford Mustang.

The turbocharged inline-4 Camaro manages 22 mpg city, 31 highway, 25 combined when equipped amongst an automatic transmission, according to the EPA. Those figures dip slightly amongst a manual: 21/30/24 mpg.

For the V-6-powered Camaro, the automatic-equipped model is rated at 19/28/23 mpg. With the manual shifter, it drops to 18/27/21 mpg.

With the massively powerful V-8 inwards the Camaro SS, fuel economic scheme isn't every bit atrocious every bit you lot powerfulness expect. The EPA pegs it at 17/28/20 mpg for automatic-transmission cars, as well as 16/25/19 mpg for manual versions.
