Motor Trend on the 2019s
The rear-drive 2019 Camaro’s base engine is a 2.0-liter turbo-four that makes 275 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. The four-cylinder Camaro is available with a standard six-speed manual delivering an EPA-rated 20/30 mpg city/highway or an optional eight-speed automatic (22/31 mpg).
The available 3.6-liter V-6 (availability begins on the 1LT trim) is rated at 335 hp and 284 lb-ft and delivers 16/27 mpg with the six-speed manual and 19/29 mpg with the eight-speed automatic. Powering the SS is a 455-hp, 455-lb-ft 6.2-liter V-8 that is rated at 16/24 mpg with the six-speed manual and 16/27 mpg with the 10-speed automatic. A supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that pumps out 650 hp and 650 lb-ft powers the Camaro ZL1 and is rated at 14/20 mpg with the six-speed manual and 13/21 mpg with the 10-speed.
Car and Driver on the 2019s
Every Camaro SS features Chevy's iconic small-block V-8, with 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. Its linear power delivery and chest-compressing acceleration are enhanced by the optional dual-mode exhaust, which erupts with a sharp bark at startup and thunderous sounds during wide-open-throttle blasts. The standard six-speed manual transmission maintains the enthusiast spirit, and the two automatic transmissions snap off swift shifts. The base 275-hp four-cylinder isn't slow—we tested a manual model that made it to 60 mph in an earnest 5.1 seconds. But uneven throttle responses and unpleasant, unsporting sounds accompanied its dull demeanor.
On the other hand, upgrading to the 335-hp naturally aspirated V-6 completely changes the car's character. The gutsy V-6 has its own distinctly searing soundtrack and redeems generations of ho-hum six-cylinders.
