2016 Chevrolet Camaro Now Available at Dealerships across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Loaded with performance technology, the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro provides a faster, more nimble driving experience, enabled by an all-new, lighter architecture and a broader powertrain range. 

 

The new Camaro is offered with powertrain combinations, each intended to deliver improved performance and efficiency. These include an all-new 3.6L V-6 and the 6.2L V-8 which is SAE-certified at 455 horsepower (339 kW) and 455 lb-ft of torque (617 Nm) – for the most powerful Camaro SS ever. The eight-speed automatic transmission is standard on the V6 and is available on the V8. 

 

From a design perspective, approximately 70 percent of the vehicle’s architectural components are unique to Camaro. Through extensive computer-aided engineering, structural rigidity was increased by 28 percent, while the body-in-white mass was reduced by 60.5 kg. The Camaro’s leaner, stiffer platform and slightly smaller dimensions are accentuated by a dramatic, sculpted exterior. Meticulously tuned in the wind tunnel, the exterior contributes to performance through reduced aerodynamic lift for better handling while enhancing efficiency. 

 

Overall, only two parts carry over from the fifth-generation Camaro to the new Gen Six: the rear bowtie emblem and the SS badge.

 

Like the exterior, the interior is completely new yet instantly recognizable. The instrument panel, for example, is a departure from the previous model, but retains the Camaro’s familiar dual-binnacle-style instrument cluster hood.

 

In addition, the instrument cluster features analog instruments to provide the driver with essential performance information, as well as an available eight-inch-diagonal high-definition center screen that can be configured to provide additional information including navigation, performance, and infotainment features. 

 

Another eight-inch screen, integrated in the center of the instrument panel, serves as the interface for the enhanced, next-generation MyLink system. New smartphone projection technology on Camaro’s MyLink system displays content from Apple iPhone 5 or later models on the multicolor screen through the Apple CarPlay feature.

 

The new center console and center stack are designed with high performance driving in mind. For example, the heating and cooling controls are integrated into rings surrounding the air ducts. 

 

In parallel, an electronic parking brake replaces the previous mechanical parking brake handle. This enabled the cup holders to be repositioned for improved range of motion when shifting in manual-transmission models.

 

An available, segment-first LED ambient lighting system, integrated in the dash, door panels and center console, offers 24 different colors, as well as fade and transition effects that spread across the interior. There’s even a theatrical “car show” mode that cycles randomly through the entire color spectrum when the Camaro is parked.

 

The ambient lighting is one of eight attributes the driver can adjust using the Camaro’s new Driver Mode Selector – accessed via a switch on the center console. The system enables the driver to tailor the look, sound and feel of 2016 Camaro to their preferences and driving conditions.

 

All 2016 Camaro owners will receive a new level of customer experience courtesy of Chevrolet Complete Care. The comprehensive aftersales package promises additional value with competitive and transparent maintenance pricing; one-hour servicing; 2 days advanced booking; a regional 3-year/100,000-km warranty; and 4 years of regional 24x7 roadside assistance.

 

The 2016 Camaro is now available for sale in showrooms across Saudi Arabia.
