2022 Chevy Camaro

• Overview

  

  Ever since it was first introduced in 1966, the Camaro has been one of America’s favorite sports cars, offering a fantastic combination of power, performance, and style. The 2022 Chevy Camaro continues this trend with one of the most impressive pony cars on the road, delivering on everything we have come to expect from this legendary model. With this latest generation of the Camaro, you have a ton of freedom and options when choosing the right model for you, including numerous trims and four different engines.

  The great thing about having so many different engines and options available to you is that you can choose the kind of power you want and get something amazing that fits within your budget. For example, the standard model comes with a 2.0L Turbo engine that delivers 275 hp and can go from 0 to 60 in just 5.4 seconds. If you want something even faster, there are several other engines available, including a 3.6L V6 with 335 hp and a mind-blowing 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine that roars with 650 hp. While this amazing engine is only offered on the incredible Camaro ZL1, you still have plenty of options to choose from overall.

  Since it was first released, the Camaro has always been known for its stylish design, and this clearly continues with the 2022 model. Both a coupe and a convertible are available, as you would expect, and the powerful stance of the Camaro is unmistakable, with numerous performance packages and special editions available. You can even get a ZL1-inspired dual-mode exhaust on other trims, which delivers an aggressive sound and quad outlets for a truly exceptional experience. Inside the 2022 Camaro, you can find great available tech features like a wireless charging pad, an 8-inch infotainment display with Navigation, and even a 9-speaker Bose premium audio system.

• Engines

  

  If you are looking at a sports car like the 2022 Chevy Camaro, then you are, no doubt, primarily interested in the performance of the vehicle. After all, if you want a spacious interior for a lot of passengers, then you look at something like an SUV or a minivan – a Camaro is all about power and the thrill of the road, and that all comes down to the engine in the sports car you choose. Fortunately, the Chevy Camaro has four different engines that you can pick from, but keep in mind that some are restricted based on the trim.

  The 2.0L Turbo

  For example, if you pick the starting 1LS trim, then you get the standard engine: a 2.0L Turbo I-4 beauty that delivers 275 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Despite its impressive performance, this engine can actually get an estimated 30 MPG on the highway, so you can tear up the road for longer between stops for gas. It can go from 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds and delivers a thrilling driving experience that is a lot of fun.

  The 3.6L V6

  If you want more power, however, then you have several options available to you. Choosing one of the LT trims – there are three with additional tech and luxury features based on the one you pick – lets you choose the available 3.6L V6 engine that delivers 335 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque. This engine allows the Camaro to go from 0 to 60 in just 5.2 seconds with impressive power.

  The 6.2L V8

  For those who want even more muscle, however, the available LT1 and SS trims come with a 6.2L V8 engine that roars to life with 455 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque. This engine is an absolute monster and lets the Camaro go from 0 to 60 in 4.0 seconds when properly equipped. Of course, there is still a fourth option, available exclusively as the standard engine on the Camaro ZL1: a 6.4L Supercharged V8 engine that delivers 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. This beast lets the Camaro go from 0 to 60 in just 3.5 seconds and is truly a marvel.

  Pick Your Power

  Perhaps the best thing about all four of these engines, however, is that they are available with either a manual or automatic transmission. If you prefer being in total control, then you can choose a 6-speed manual transmission for any of these engines. For drivers who prefer not to hassle with a clutch, there is an automatic transmission with paddle shifters, so you still have a high amount of control. Depending on the engine, this is either an 8-speed or 10-speed automatic, and it delivers the fastest acceleration on the 6.2L V8 engines.

• Design

  

  The look of the 2022 Chevy Camaro tells an immediate story of raw power, precision, and expert handling. It features a wide stance that lets everyone know what kind of speed you are ready to unleash upon the world, and its overall design is strong and intimidating. This is expanded upon by a number of available packages and options that take its powerful look a step further.

  You Need to Have Good Wheels

  For example, 18-inch wheels are standard on many of the Camaro models, such as the starting trim and the available LT trims, with 18-inch all-season tires. There are 20-inch wheels available for most of the trims, however, with 20-inch tires that help boost your grip on the road and improve overall handling. Looking at something like the powerful SS trims, 20-inch wheels become standard, with available 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar summer-only tires to boost performance and grip in warm weather.

  Strong Components Are a Must

  All of that power requires control, however, and the ability to stop safely. That is why there are available Brembo front and rear antilock brakes and Performance Brembo braking systems to ensure you always stay in total control. A Z1-inspired dual-mode exhaust system is available on most trims, which includes quad outlets and 4-inch polished stainless-steel tips to deliver an aggressive exhaust sound that really lets you appreciate the power at your disposal.

  An available magnetic ride control system can read the road and adjust automatically to ensure you have the best performance and handling possible. This functions with the Performance Traction Management system available on the 2022 Camaro to ensure optimal stability at high speeds, to keep your car responsive, and increase wheel control when you need it. Combine that with an available Performance copper-free brake system, and you have a powerful sports car that always responds to your commands.

• Technology

  

  It is easy to get so focused on the power and performance of a sports car like the 2022 Chevy Camaro that you do not even look at the interior. While we can certainly understand that kind of excitement, you should still consider what is available inside your vehicle. After all, the tech features and options inside your Camaro can let you enjoy the road more and provide you with more tools for tearing up the track.

  A Good Muscle Car Has to Be Just As Equipped on the Inside as the Outside

  These features will depend on the trim you choose, of course; the starting 1LS trim features a 7-inch infotainment display with support for Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto. You also get a standard 6-speaker sound system, an 8-way power adjustable driver seat, and a leather-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel. The 1LS comes with single-zone automatic climate control, a driver information center that you can personalize, keyless open and start, and cruise control, all standard.

  If you look at something like the 3LT, the highest of the available LT trims, then you get an 8-inch infotainment display with voice recognition and a Bose premium audio system – it has 9 speakers in coupe models and 7 speakers in convertibles. The 3LT features a 6-way power front-passenger seat, a heated steering wheel, an 8-inch digital driver information center, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You also get a wireless charging pad, customizable interior lighting, and even a head-up display that projects information like your speed, audio info, and turn-by-turn directions onto the windshield.

  Although safety features might not be your top concern with a sports car, the 2022 Camaro still has some great options. The powerful 2SS trim, for example, includes LED daytime running lamps, a comprehensive airbag system, and a tire fill alert. You also get a Rear Park Assist system, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a Forward Collision Alert, and a Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, all standard in the Camaro 2SS, as well as in lower trims like the 3LT.
