Launch
Chevrolet launched the Camaro 2022 in the Philippines during the Manila International Auto Show held in April 2019. Only one variant of the model was introduced, unlike its previous generation. The sole engine option available in the market is the 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine. It comes in three variants in which the exterior finish is the only difference.
The Camaro is a great take on the modern muscle car concept
Chevrolet Camaro Exterior
The Camaro’s sculpted hood, redesigned grille, piercing headlamps, and muscular flanks create a stronger and more elevated aesthetic for the sports car. It is decked with a honeycomb grille, Camaro 2023 sill plates, an RS badge, and the signature Chevrolet bowtie emblem on its front and rear to complete the look. The RS model features 5-spoke 20-inch machine faced alloys, LED projector headlamps with LED daytime running lamps, and LED tail lamps.
Interior
The Chevrolet Camaro interiors are as refined as its exterior. The Camaro’s cockpit is optimized for performance driving from its custom leather-trimmed dashboard, its leather-wrapped steering wheel, black leather-clad interior panel, down to its leather-upholstered seats. The sport bucket seats are also equipped with 8-way power adjustment settings and are ventilated with cooling and heating memory.
Chevrolet Camaro Technology & Safety
The Chevrolet Camaro offers premium technologies that further improve the driving experience. Starting off with the dashboard, it is decked with an 8-inch touchscreen linked to the brand’s MyLink Infotainment System.
