Chevrolet Camaro in Burien, WA | Burien ChevroletIf you’re in the market for a great, new, high-performance sports car, it’s worth considering that the Chevy Camaro is a favorite among many enthusiasts that has stood the test of time. The all-new 2018 Camara SS is no exception and is the perfect example of how long-lasting models should evolve to keep up with the times and stack up against the competition.

Here’s a quick look at how the SS puts the sizzle in the 2018 Camaro.

Look and Feel

The Camaro has owned its appearance since it originally rolled off the assembly lines in 1966. While the appearance of this iconic car has evolved over time, it has maintained several aspects that pay homage to the original design. The 2018 Camaro SS sports a front that is reminiscent of the original 1966 model, while the body itself makes use of dramatic lines and curves to provide the elegant yet powerful look and feel that the Camaro has become known for.

Power and Performance

The 2018 Camaro SS doesn’t just look powerful — it is powerful. This particular model comes standard with a 6.2-litre V8 engine that delivers an impressive 445 horsepower along with 455 pounds-feet torque. That’s a lot of power packed into a relatively small package that will have you feeling like the king of the road every time you get behind the wheel.

You would think that all of that power would come with some serious efficiency sacrifices, but the 2018 Camaro SS actually performs quite well in this area as well. You’ll be able to push 16 mpg on city streets and up to 25 mpg on the highway. Those may not seem like great numbers if you’re new to the world of performance vehicles, but this is actually pretty impressive for a car sporting this kind of power.

Technology Features

If high-performance and an iconic look aren’t enough for you, the interior of the 2018 Camaro SS is sure to win you over. To begin with, you’ll enjoy heated and cooled seats that are designed to keep you comfortable no matter what the temperatures are outside. An 8-inch touch-enabled control panel provides you with high-tech features such as:

  • A 4G WiFi hotspot
  • Bluetooth connectivity with hands-free calling and texting
  • Available onboard navigation
  • An onboard backup camera system
  • Streaming media playback

In addition to all of this, the 2018 Camaro SS comes equipped with a premium Bose sound system and includes two USB charging ports to keep your mobile devices topped off while you’re on the road.

Out of everything the 2018 Camaro SS has to offer, the best thing about it isn’t a feature you’ll find on the car itself but, rather, its price. A common misconception is that cars like this are out of most people’s price range, but this may not be entirely true. While the SS is one of the higher-end Camaro options, it is available starting as low as $37,000, which really isn’t that much more expensive than a lot of standard sedans.
