CHEVROLET INTRODUCES BOLD 2019 CAMARO

New designs, available tech and first-ever Turbo 1LE energize broader lineup

2018-04-09

DETROIT — Chevrolet today introduced a reinvigorated 2019 Camaro lineup with distinctive designs, new available technologies and the first-ever Turbo 1LE.

“Lauded since its introduction for its balance of driving fun, refinement and value, the restyled 2019 Camaro reaches even higher with more of the design, technology and choices that customers want,” said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet marketing director for Cars and Crossovers. “It’s a performer with few competitors and a pillar of Chevrolet’s energized car lineup.”

Highlights include:

• Camaro SS now offered with 10L80 10-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission featuring custom launch control and line lock
• Chevrolet Infotainment 3 systems, including available navigation
• New available Rear Camera Mirror*
• New available Forward Collision Alert*

Performance-driven design
The 2019 Camaro’s updated designs are not only striking but also help to improve performance. For instance, the grille details and hood and fascia vents were designed for optimized air flow, either to cool components or help minimize drag or lift. Camaro designers follow the mantra that all elements must not only be beautiful but also enhance performance.[/LIST]
Design highlights include:

• New front-end styling with distinct differences between LS/LT, RS and SS, including the fascia, grille, LED dual-element headlamps and reshaped hood (ZL1 retains its airflow-optimized front-end styling)
• SS-specific front fascia with “flowtie” open bowtie grille emblem and aero-enhancing air curtains, specific headlamps with new LED signature and extractor-style hood
• RS Appearance Package available on LT adds unique polished black grille with Galvano Chrome lower inserts, new LED headlamps with LED signature light bar, specific rear fascia with rear diffuser and 20-inch wheels
• New rear fascias for all models, with specific diffusers on RS and SS when equipped with Dual Mode Exhaust
• New LED taillamps with a more sculptured evolution of Chevrolet’s signature dual-element design; red lenses are featured on LS and LT, with RS, SS and ZL1 featuring dark-tinted neutral-density lenses
• New 20-inch wheel designs on RS and SS

Turbo 1LE
The new Camaro Turbo 1LE joins the V6 1LE, SS 1LE and ZL1 1LE to round out Camaro’s lineup of 1LE track stars. Leveraging the impressive performance and ideal weight distribution enabled by Camaro’s 2.0L turbocharged engine, the Turbo 1LE comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and a tailored chassis package derived from the V6 1LE to offer track-capable performance. Highlights include:

• FE3 suspension with larger diameter front and rear stabilizer bars, specifically tuned dampers, stiffer rear cradle bushings and cross-axis ball joints in the rear tow links that enhance lateral stiffness
• Split front/rear summer-only tire sizes: P245/40R20 (front) and P275/35R20 (rear)
• 2.0L turbo engine with 275 hp (205 kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque (400 Nm)
• Brembo brake package with low-metallic performance pads
• Nearly 50/50 weight balance
• Driver Mode Selector with Sport Mode and new Track Mode; Competition Mode (within Sport and Track Modes) includes performance instrument readouts, launch control, shift lights and more
• Standard sueded flat-bottom steering wheel and shift knob plus available Recaro seats

Camaro tech: next-generation infotainment, rear camera mirror and more
The 2019 Camaro offers Chevrolet’s next-generation Infotainment 3 with all-new systems that provide a more personalized experience and a more intuitive interface.

They’re the most advanced infotainment systems ever from Chevrolet, with functionality that mimics the latest smartphones and tablets, and cloud connection designed to enhance personalization, available navigation, voice recognition, apps and more. They even allow vehicle software updates to be automatically uploaded over the air.

The standard system features a 7-inch-diagonal color touchscreen. An 8-inch diagonal touchscreen running Infotainment 3 is available, including one with navigation.

Additional new technology features and enhancements include:

• Standard Rear Camera Mirror on 2SS and ZL1 models offers a wider, less obstructed field of view using a camera display that eliminates potential obstructions such as rear body pillars or seat headrests; a conventional rearview mirror view is also available
• Improved standard rear-vision camera system* with a new, digital high-definition camera that offers improved view quality
• Forward Collision Alert joins Camaro’s roster of available active safety features
• Enhanced Performance Data Recorder system
• The 2019 Camaro joins Cruze, Malibu and Spark as part of Chevrolet’s revitalized 2019 lineup of cars.

What the hell....

Another. Mods merge threads if needed. Thanks.

it isn't on in cali :(

I didn't see any shots of the rear end. I really want to see those lights! The front... well it looks cool from directly in front of it... I'm not loving the 45/quarter view right now. I think it is better than the 2018 Mustang refresh.

Hmm, I have the same reaction after the 2014 refresh... eek, no thanks.

I wonder if the ZL1 front end changes too? Or they kept it the same for cooling purposes like ‘14

Lol they went 100% Transformers 5 style? Glad I ordered the 18 one

:barf:

Wow, that looks disappointing from that picture.. Charger like..

Another shot. Yes... I agree it is Charger like. And v6 Charger at that. I've never liked the merged grille look on that car and much prefer the seperate look. Especially the Hellcat look (of course) Like it more here though.

I think the bowtie between the grills is what's bugging me about it haha

Well we have seen this beforehttps://hips.hearstapps.com/roa.h-cd...-bumblebee.jpg

And that other guy trolled everyone. "Cant tell a difference"

I thought of the Charger too.

I agree. The emblem in the center is terrible.

Refreshes are almost always disliked when they first come out. The 2018 Mustang is legit terrible, and this one is...a bit too Transformers/Charger looking to me initially.

Definitely doubt it'll help sales out, but now we have the 7th gen to look forward to. At least the Camaro SS is getting the A10 to remain competitive.

The bright side to this redesign is that it saves me money, since I now don't want a new Camaro and will just keep what I have.

I'll most likely be upgrading. The 10 speed is too nice to pass up. For me, if I can remove the bowtie off the front it would clean it up IMO. That placement seems weird to me. But so did the placement of the SS on the butt of the 6th gen initially.

Keep in mind. When these cars are first revealed the initial reaction is "Oh it looks like crap."

Some minds change. Others don't. I'll definitely have to see it in person to get a better feel. And, I want to see the rear lights. My guess is they're saving that for the official reveal.

This exactly. Don’t like the bow tie but that’ll be an easy fix at some point I’m sure. The 10 speed did me in though.

But hey if you guys don’t like it that’s good news for me being able to get one easily 😬

It's funny how similar this is to the refresh, at least they did turn down the crazy from the TF5 one. Definitely reminds me of how the Bumble Bee Camaro from TF2 was about 90% of the ZL1 that was revealed 2 years later!

It's all about the aero it seems and I'm sure it cuts through the air tunnel smoother and has increased the overall performance of the car. I'm waiting on Chevy's press release. This should be a good read to go along with my 2nd cup of coffee.

looks like its possible to get this hood and bumper on the 16-18 models....... maybe the rear bumper too????

Looks alright to me, but I would not upgrade from my 2017

I will definitely reserve my final judgement on it until I see it in person, for example I think the 2018 Mustang looks MUCH better in person than in pictures.

Hmm, on second thought, what if the bow tie was moved up to the top grille like the 2016-2018?

Here's the Video:

Are we getting trolled? Or is this the real thing? Ugh!
& am usually optimistic about new designs or updates.

Way too much with the Charger similarities

I would like to see the rear end. Not too much of a fan on that front. I did like the transformers design better but even that wasn't very good. Maybe it will grow on me but I doubt it. Glad I got what I have, it would be interesting to see in the darker colors like black or NGM.

I'm usually not the type of person to say that I hate new designs and take it with a very open mind, but this I do not think I have words for. This looks very weird in my opinion and I'm so glad I have my 2018
