A light refresh for the 2019 Chevy Camaro
For 2019, Chevy refreshed its sixth-generation Camaro. On top of slight tweaks to its appearance, the Camaro gets available forward collision alert (but not automatic emergency braking), and an available rear camera mirror to address some visibility concerns. On the performance front, the Camaro SS can now be had with a quick 10-speed automatic transmission, and the track-ready 1LE package is available for turbocharged four-cylinder models.
Otherwise, the Camaro carries on for 2019 with the same mix of powerful engines and nimble handling that make it such a compelling alternative to the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. Every variant of the Camaro is engaging to drive and offers performance that punches above its price. Of course, the Camaro’s weaknesses carry on in spite of the refresh. The 2019 Camaro still suffers from poor visibility, a cramped rear seat, and a tight trunk.

5 reasons to buy the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro
What We Like
Performance: The Camaro’s 335-horsepower V6 and 455-horsepower V8 engines offer quick acceleration, and even the base turbocharged four-cylinder delivers plenty of torque. Once you’re moving, the Camaro’s precise handling and engaging steering make for an entertaining experience that hits above its class.
Ride Quality: Even with its handling prowess, the Camaro has a more forgiving and refined ride than you might expect. Upgrade from the standard suspension to the adaptive setup, and the Camaro is comfortable over all sorts of road surfaces and conditions.
Standard features: The Camaro comes standard with features like power-adjustable driver’s seat, a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto® and Apple CarPlay™, a Wi-Fi hotspot and a rearview camera
What Needs Improvement
Usability: The Camaro’s modern, aggressive design doesn’t leave as much room for people or things as we’d like. The rear seat is cramped, the trunk tiny, visibility out of the cabin is poor, and the placement of some controls makes them awkward to use.

2019 Dodge Challenger
The 2019 Dodge Challenger is a popular choice among those who want to enjoy the driving experience of a muscle car with a cabin that's roomy enough to comfortably seat up to four adults.
Despite its larger size, the 2019 Challenger doesn't slack when it comes to power. Even its base SXT trim is outfitted with a 3.6L V6 engine at 305 hp—and engine offerings only get more impressive from there. A 5.7L V8 at 375 hp is standard on the R/T trim, and a 6.4L V8 at 484 hp is included on the R/T 392.
But the Challenger doesn't stop there. The 2019 SRT Hellcat trim boasts a supercharged 6.2L V8 at an incredible 717 hp—and the SRT Hellcat Redeye tops things out with the same engine at an almost-unbelievable 797 hp.
