2022 Chevy Camaro
Back in the day, muscle cars were all about the speed on a straightaway. The question to be answered always was who could reach the finish line first as soon as someone waved the scarf to kick off the start. Muscle cars today still boast those broad-shouldered lines and rumbling bass notes, but now when you sit behind the wheel of a 2022 Chevy Camaro, you get the deep-seated pleasure of handling curves, too. Pony cars of the '60s and '70s were heavy and cumbersome, where the new Camaro sits low to the ground with fierce air-cutting styling so it can hug a corner as easily as it can launch into a straight-line race.
Like pony cars of the past, however, the 2022 Camaro is infinitely customizable to bring to life all the styling and performance features a driver could want. Eight available trims with a low entry-level price mean almost anyone can afford to buy a Camaro, and yet it's possible to equip a Camaro with the finest muscle car features under the sun. From the entry-level 1LS with its satisfying dual exhaust and turbocharged inline-four engine to the ultimate ZL1 performance model with its supercharged V8, there is a 2022 Camaro for everyone, but only a few will be able to handle the power.
For 2022 models, the Camaro continues to hold firm to its sixth generation without too much change. This generation has an interior with styling that matches its sporty and aggressive demeanor, both honoring its origins and welcoming modernity for comforts and conveniences. The 2022 Camaro has room to seat four and gets excellent fuel efficiency, even when equipped with its high-performing engines. Choose the standard inline-four and get the best efficiency of 25 MPG combined, or opt for the full-bore V8 for a surprising efficiency of 20 MPG combined. Driving a muscle car doesn't have to mean compromising, especially when you realize that uninspiring sedans are about the same price for a lot less fun.

Engines and Suspension
Raw Street Performance
In the arena of asphalt and concrete byways, the Camaro reigns supreme. Few cars achieve the balance of the 2022 Camaro's adaptive suspensions combined with the raw power of its engines. In a world where the stick shift is becoming extinct, the Camaro continues to provide buyers with the exciting connection that can only be created with a clutch, a corner, and rear-wheel drive. Every powertrain available for the 2022 Camaro comes standard with rear-wheel drive to provide the best traction and capability an engine can muster, starting with the standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder.
Though you might think a four-cylinder is too meager an engine for such a leonine vehicle, rest assured that Chevy has tuned the inline-four to growl out 275 horses and 295 lb-ft of torque. That's plenty of power to roar through town and overtake any less enthusiastic drivers on the highway. If you prefer the purr of a V6, the 3.6-liter delivers a fuller 335 hp with 284 lb-ft of torque that certainly has a more vigorous response when hitting the gas. To have the V6, you can choose from the 1LT, 2LT, or 3LT trim levels. To go for the even more invigorating 6.2-liter LT1 V8, select the LT1, 1SS, or 2SS trims. Finally, the gold standard ZL1 trim offers the most zealous engine option of them all with its supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 that will be the envy of your friends and neighbors with 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.
More Than Just a Mighty Engine
Each engine is paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and for those who like the ease of active rev matching, look for the LT1, SS, and ZL1 trims to add this feature. However, if you prefer an automatic transmission, you can opt for an 8-speed gearbox for the inline-4 or a 10-speed transmission with the V6 and V8 engine options. Both the automatic options include steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters for manual control, helping you stay in the right gear all the time.
With great power also comes a great suspension, and the 2022 Camaro has numerous ways to adjust its well-sorted connectivity with the road. Options like the magnetic dampers, a performance suspension with rear cradle mounts and ball-jointed rear toe links, or even the incredible capability of DSSV dampers are all choices to make the Camaro respond the way you prefer. Then again, you could option the magnetic ride control found on the SS or ZL1 trims, which combines with the performance traction system to improve stability and responsiveness for each wheel independently to get the best performance of all.
Style and Convenience
Customizable Style
If there's one thing the 2022 Camaro has in spades, it's style. Even people who care nothing for the power and capability of a pony car will still rubberneck to peer at the handsome look of a sleek vehicle like the Camaro as it rolls past. Whether you choose the classic coupe or the soft-top convertible, you get to have your muscle car any way you like it. Customizing is the name of the game with the Camaro. With options for several types of stripes like the sharp spider stripes on the hood or the straight racing stripe down the center, you can option your pony car with colors, fender hash marks, and badging options galore.
Wheels are a signature part of muscle car culture, and Chevy makes it possible to match your wheels to the styling and performance from 18-inch split-spoke aluminum alloy that come standard with entry-level trims to the flashy gloss black 20-inch five-spoke wheels you can choose for upper trims. Designs from satin black to carbon flash let you dress your 2022 Camaro in the right shoes for the occasion.
As much as the exterior draws the eye, the interior should draw you into the driver's seat with its own sporty appeal. Chevy gives countless options for building the interior as well, with choices like ceramic white, adrenaline red, and simple black. In upper trims, add spectrum lighting with up to 24 available colors that line your interior elements with light, or give your interior a different ambiance with lighted footwells or door sills for a classy flourish.
A Convenient Ride
Convenience is just as much a part of owning a 2022 Camaro as performance, and the standard features are generous. LED lighting gives a cunning gaze to the front fascia, and the keyless open and ignition mean ease of entry when your hands are full. Behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel, tilt and telescope its position to your liking, and use the leather-wrapped shift knob to change gears while you drive. The automatic climate control modulates the temperature of the cabin for you, and in upper trims, you can enjoy the convenience of driver's seat memory and a powered sunroof. For a complete picture of sport style, go for the sumptuous comfort and stability of the Recaro sport seats that will bolster your body in place while you take on the challenge of the road.
Technology
Customizable Performance
When it comes to technological advancements, launch control might be one of the most satisfying features of owning a 2022 Camaro. Few things in life can make you grin like hitting a button that automates throttle and torque to allow your pony car to really get up and go when the light turns green. Even without launch control, four selectable modes rev up the performance of the Camaro according to the conditions, from sport and track mode to modulate a stiffer response to snow and ice for handling slippery roads. Finally, tour mode takes a calmer approach for a relaxed ride.
In tour mode, if you option the available performance data and video recorder, you can utilize it to record video of the view as you drive through a particularly scenic area. The same tech can switch to record your performance at the track by keeping tabs on your lap times, your acceleration, and several other aspects of performance so you can compare and analyze. You can even share the data and videos later when you save them to a removable SD card. Using this tech, you have five available modes to record in HD with both video and audio using the dash-mounted camera.
Everyday Technology
Though performance is often the focus of owning a muscle car, your 2022 Camaro can serve as your daily driver with its convenient connectivity and tech. Standard features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it easy to pair your smartphone with the Chevy Infotainment 3 system. The standard seven-inch screen can be upgraded to a larger eight-inch HD touchscreen, and the option to connect WiFi, Chevy Connected service, or OnStar are all available across the trims. Amazon Alexa can also be optioned as a built-in feature to connect with your home system, and in upper trims, buyers can gain features like a head-up display, wireless charging, or a rear camera mirror. Of course, a true muscle car deserves a sound system worthy of its temperament, and Chevy provides the option of a premium Bose sound system for playing your favorite tunes while you cruise.
