The 2016 Chevy Camaro gets new design, tech, and engines
Chevy fully redesigned the 2016 Camaro, launching the muscle car’s sixth generation. While it may not look hugely different, the new Camaro rides on a whole new platform, improving on its already impressive handling. The Camaro’s V6 gets a power bump to 335 horsepower and becomes the mid-range option, above a new 275-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder base engine with improved fuel efficiency and plenty of torque. The Camaro SS gets a new, more powerful 455-horsepower V8.
The Camaro also gets a new interior design and updated tech, with standard wifi, and standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto®. A rearview camera is also standard, and blind-spot monitoring is available on higher trim levels along with luxuries like heated and ventilated seats and auto-dimming mirrors. But the redesigned Camaro still has several of the old design’s fundamental weaknesses: Poor visibility, the cramped backseat, and the tiny trunk all carry over into the new Camaro.

5 reasons to buy the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro
What we like
Performance: The Camaro’s confident handling and sharp steering punch above its price. Combined with a range of strong engines, from the traditional V6 and V8 to the punchy new turbocharged four cylinder, the Camaro is a true sports car. It’s a fun and engaging car to drive in every trim level.
Ride Quality: One of the Camaro’s most impressive tricks is delivering sports-car handling without a harsh ride. The standard suspension is surprisingly forgiving over bumps, and the new optional adaptive suspension provides a smooth ride on most road surfaces.
Standard features: The 2016 Camaro’s base 1LT trim gets a lot of the car’s new tech standard. A power-adjustable driver’s seat, a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot and a rearview camera are all standard equipment.
What needs improvement
Usability: The 2016 Camaro’s redesign didn’t revolutionize its looks, or its compromises. The new Camaro is still difficult to see out of, and still sports a meager backseat and undersized trunk. Altogether, the Camaro remains less flexible and less practical than other muscle cars.
