The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro was, of course, revealed yesterday to much excitement and fanfare. We’ve already covered most of the major points in detail, but there’s still plenty left to talk about vis-a-vis the new driver-focused interior.
We’d had plenty of forewarning prior to the reveal of GM’s latest and greatest pony car that the exterior design would be much more evolutionary than revolutionary, and that’s inarguably the case. But until yesterday, we’d had no real idea what to anticipate from the 2016 Camaro’s cockpit design.
In broad strokes, the interior of the 2016 Chevy Camaro (right) remains essentially similar to that of the outgoing car (left).
The new cockpit is certainly, unmistakably Camaro, retaining the same double-binnacle-style gauges, with more exaggerated peaks along the top of the dash. The door skins feature more contrast and intrigue than on the outgoing car, and the center console lid/arm rest more decisively splits the driver’s area from that of the front passenger. The HVAC outlets remain circular in shape, but now feature an attractive fan-blade-type graphic as opposed to the lateral fins on the previous car.
In short, while in broad strokes the interior of the new 2016 Camaro is essentially similar to that of the outgoing car, there’s still been plenty more revolution there than with regard to the exterior.
But ultimately, we want to hear from you. What do you think of the all-new, 2016 Chevrolet Camaro’s interior design? Is it hot? Or not?
Comments
The interior is on par with the new Challenger and handily bests the Mustang.
Improved yes but I am still not a fan of the screen on how it looks tacked on. Also the top of the gauge cluster it a little choppy.
Both of my complaints are small and even with these it should do fine.
The quality of the materials is the real news here as it will feel much better as the C7 already does.
True, it is an improvement but I’m not too fond of the center vents down low like they are and the gauge cluster is a little pushed up to me. The infotainment screen looks tacked on like an afterthought kind of like the Malibu and just sitting there. One thing I do think is better done is the vast expanse in front of the passenger, it looks a lot better than the outgoing model IMO.
There is a light pipe in that screen bezel, if you didn’t notice… 😉
Good thing the screen is higher than the 5th Gen — who in the world ever decided to put it so low should have their head examined, but it could be even higher in the 6th Gen to keep your eyes on the road, kind of like the pop-up style in the CTS-V.
Love the color spectrum ambient lighting. I hope we see this spread out over other GM vehicles (Cadillac) as many other automakers have been playing with this for a few years. This application is definitely one of, if not the most, advanced that I have seen from a manufacturer.
Question still out is, does it have Apple CarPlay compatibility built-in?!

Oh and what about HUD and LTE Advanced w/802.11ac WiFi? The former is higher on my list…
I love the interior, just from the pics alone the quality of the materials look amazing. Nice tech too with the electric brake and cockpit feel. 1 thing I would have liked is that they used the new camaro logo on the steering wheel the tri bar one.
too many plastic materjals. I will give only one recommendation. must in future GM products to conceal his usual black palstikut. The quality of the plastic is not. lacquered, painted plastic. metallid- aluminum, leather, wood. and GM must increase the price of their products. so cheap products can not compete with the best in the world. everything costs.
camaro does not have to be a car that anyone can simply buy. in fact, it is already bad, is available to everyone . if you want to have all the Camaro and the Camaro sold a lot. or that not all the Camaro and Camaro are special. The level and quality of cars is also reflected in the price. cheap car logically can not be of high quality.I’m not going to explain this to people all over the thing is quality.
camaro lounge is not big. and this could be a minimum of cheap black plastic. Design seems already on the border of their complexity. does not pay to go across the border in the design of. Quality. is not over-designed.top materials. super-assembling processing
CUP HOLDERS! The biggest complaint I had with my 5th gen camaro was the stupid cup holders. You couldn’t put a drink in them and shift. Worst design decision I ever saw. So therefore you had to drive the car without having a place for your beverages, because it was literally impossible to shift and drive. Its like whoever designed it never drove stick in their life and designed it around the automatic.
This one finally moves the cup holders to the passenger side leaving room to shift while drinking.
Finally the Camaro helps you drink and drive. I see this as being a huge deal.
That to me means a 10x improvement on day to day ergonomics.
I also like the dual climate and ventilated seats. Ventilated seats weren’t an option on the 5th gen, so its good to see those here…. maybe borrowing a bit more from the caddy’s than people realize? The dual climate with dual screens is very nice also.
Looks wise, I think its “fine”. a little more european in my opinion. I don’t want to complain about the low air vents until I try them. Doesn’t seem effective, but I haven’t experienced them yet.
I’ve only driven an automatic SS and never noticed that. Lol but I had a 93 mustang 4 banger auto with an aftermarket CD player. The only way to load a CD was to put the car in drive, if not the CD would hit the shifter. Lol drove me nuts.
Not only better than the direct ‘muscle’ competition, but in base form it’s better than the similarly price BRZ/FRS. Then it’s also better than higher priced vehicles, like the WRX and Genesis Coupe.
The air circles is similar to the Mercedes new interiors pieces, gauge cluster is so modern and cool.
Here in Spain this new design overall not like too much, but the interior yes, they says that look more quality sensation.
A spanish friend say to me ” The 2009-2013 Camaro is the pinacle design of the modern muscle cars, with the 2010-2014 Mustang”
And they want know if the ’16 Camaro will comes to Spain oficially and his future prices
Regards¡¡
cup holders is biggest broblem in earth. fuck the cup holders. old Camaros were also those air intakes in lobby. similar air cirles like mercedes ahaaaa.
and this talk – also better than higher priced vehicles ahhaaaaa
BRZ/FRS – WRX and Genesis Coupe VS camaro . what
in the old days were the Camaro and Mustang with. previous models were more alike.
chevrolet camaro- ford mustang- dodge challenger old days one segment eaven especially camaro and mustang. today ford mustang goes different way. and camaro vs challenger more different
GM has a cheap plastic in their products reduced. touch and feel should not be looking at a lot of plastic.
placetation steering wheel. multimedia display is the rugged plastic. GM must can better. finishing a mess. However, because of the cheaper cost
OPC has a cheap translator in his personal computer. Easy to read – we should not be looking at a lot of poor syntax. playstation keyboard and a CRT monitor are his rugged tools. OPC must type better. finishing a mess. However, because of the cheap translation.
yes it is true what you talk. yes you not must be looking poor syntax. yes i understand all of you. i am bad i know english and syntax. but i love opel and opel belongs gm to. and i m intrested to what gm doing
all camaros has plastic pedals ?
What I don’t like is just like the mustang: too small. I’m 6’7″ 265 and fit great in my current zl1, but doubt the new one will fit me comfortably.
