2019 Chevrolet Camaro: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro gets a mid-cycle refresh led by updated exterior styling, standard LED lighting, and a new touchscreen system. It is a meaningful update rather than a full redesign.
About the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro
6th generation (2016-2024), mid-cycle refresh year.
Chevrolet positions the Camaro as a driver-focused rear-wheel-drive sports car with a wide performance ladder, from a turbo four to a supercharged V8. The emphasis is not only straight-line speed; Camaro is sold on sharp handling, a low seating position, a cockpit wrapped around the driver, and real track-capable hardware in the upper trims. Against rivals, the Camaro’s pitch is the more serious, more precise performance choice, especially once you move into SS, 1LE and ZL1 territory.
The LS is the straightforward turbo four-cylinder coupe, while the LT line adds more comfort and runs through the newly added 3LT grade. The SS pairs a 455-hp V8 with stronger brakes and track-focused cooling. At the top, the ZL1 keeps its distinctive aerodynamic nose and combines a 650-hp supercharged V8 with an adaptive suspension, launch control, and large Brembo brakes.
What changed, by category
Styling
LS, LT, and SS models get redesigned front ends and reshaped hoods, while the ZL1 retains its aerodynamics-focused nose. Every trim receives new LED taillamps and revised rear-end detailing.
Safety
LED headlamps become standard on every Camaro trim. There is no new lineup-wide driver-assistance suite.
Tech
Chevrolet Infotainment 3 replaces the previous MyLink touchscreen systems. Navigation changes from standard to optional on LT, SS, and ZL1, while remote start becomes standard on SS.
Powertrain
The automatic-equipped SS moves from an 8-speed to a 10-speed transmission. The Turbo 1LE package also brings track-focused hardware to four-cylinder LT coupes.
