2022 Chevrolet Camaro combines muscle-car power with sports-car agility

The 2022 Chevrolet Camaro may be keeping a muscle-car name alive, but beyond its straight-line speed it doesn’t bear much resemblance to the muscle cars of yesteryear. The Chevy Camaro offers potent acceleration from its 455-horsepower V8 and 335-horsepower V6 engines, and even its available turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers punchy performance. It comes as a coupe and a convertible, too. But this Camaro is also sharp and nimble in the corners, behaving like a dedicated sports car. Unfortunately, there are some tradeoffs in terms of day-to-day comfort, like poor visibility, a tight cabin, and limited trunk space.

For 2022, the 1LE Track Performance package is no longer available for four- or six-cylinder Camaro models, but there are still a ton of trims and options available. The Camaro is available in a wide range of trims, spanning multiple engine options. At the bottom is the 1LS, powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder, and at the opposite end of the spectrum is the ZL1 with a massively powerful supercharged V8. If you're looking for a performance value, the Camaro LT1 is the least expensive trim that comes with the V8.

What We Like

Performance: It shouldn’t be surprising that the Camaro is quick. You’ll get solid acceleration whether you choose the V8 or V6 engines, and even the base four-cylinder engine feels strong. Where the Camaro stands out is its precise and rewarding handling, and sharp transmission options. It all adds up to a driving experience that competes above its class.

Ride Quality: Given the Camaro’s performance credentials, you might expect it to feel stiff on the road, but the standard suspension delivers a supple ride. V8 models can be equipped with an adaptive suspension that smooths out bumps on a wide variety of surfaces. Overall, the Camaro’s ride quality is very good for a car that handles this well.

Standard features: Among other features, the base Camaro 1LS trim comes with a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

That adds to the Camaro’s value proposition, and means no matter which trim you pick you can be sure you’ll be getting both excellent performance and some desirable features.

What Needs Improvement

Usability: The aggressive design makes the Camaro more difficult to see out of, and only leaves room for a miniscule backseat and tiny trunk. The limited space in the cabin means some of the controls and A/C vents have been crammed in awkwardly. Other muscle cars make fewer compromises.
