The Chevrolet Camaro is a high-performance specialist that’s big on personality and sleek in exterior style. Here are the key features that make it so special to drive.

First Impressions

The 2022 Camaro is a car that loves to be the centre of attention, with its iconic ‘muscle car’ exterior providing all the low-down, dynamic aggression you’d expect from a dedicated racer. Available in both hardtop and convertible formats, the Camaro’s design leaves no doubts about its high-performance focus.

Explosive Powertrain Options

There are four engine options available for the 2022 Chevy Camaro, offering performance levels that range from the impressive to the explosive. Each engine is paired with rear-wheel drive only, and while there’s an optional 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifts, the standard six-speed manual transmission is the go-to choice for drivers who want to experience the Camaro’s full character.

At the entry level, the powertrain is built around a 2.0L turbo engine, making a healthy 275 horsepower and 295lb-ft of torque. This option provides a good balance between performance and fuel economy, offering 0-96km/h acceleration times as low as 5.4 seconds while delivering a respectable 7.8L/100km on the highway.

However, all other engine choices focus squarely on performance, starting with a 3.6L V6 mill pushing out 335 horsepower and 284lb-ft. This option can reach 96km/h in just 5.2 seconds and has plenty of power in reserve for effortless straight-line speeds.

Moving up a level, the 6.2L V8 pushes the Camaro into genuine high-performance territory, with its output of 455 horsepower and 455lb-ft helping the car rocket from 0-96km/h in as little as 4.0 seconds.

And lastly, the top-level 6.2L supercharged V8 cranks out a mammoth 650 horsepower and 650lb-ft, figures that put many heavy-duty trucks to shame, pulling the acceleration time down to a searing 3.5 seconds.

Advanced Interior Technology

The Camaro might be designed with the track in mind, but the interior offers a selection of advanced technology to compare with any high-end family SUV. Infotainment functions are accessed by a touchscreen display measuring up to 8 inches, with wireless versions of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto offering seamless, cordless smartphone integration.

Other available tech options include in-built navigation, an 8-inch digital driver information display, a Wi-Fi hotspot facility, and a wireless charging pad to keep your devices fully juiced up and ready for action.

Active Safety for Extra Confidence

The advanced technology doesn’t stop with the infotainment systems. Depending on the trim level, the Camaro is also equipped with a selection of active safety and driver-assist features that make your journeys safer, smoother, and less fatiguing. Key standard and available highlights include:

• Forward-collision warnings to help you keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front
• Lane-change alert system with blind-spot warnings to keep you safer on the highway
• Rear cross-traffic alerts to warn of unseen dangers when backing out of a parking slot or driveway
• Teen-driver system to encourage safer behaviour in younger, less experienced drivers
• Head-up display to help you keep your eyes on the road
