Chevrolet has finally launched the 2019 Camaro build configurator, which gives us the full picture as to how much the refreshed pony car will cost. Available in seven trims, including a new 3LT trim, we perused through the configurator to see all of the changes.
As previously reported, the 2019 Camaro sees price cuts up to $3,000, mostly at the lower and middle end of the spectrum. The Camaro’s chief engineer, Al Oppenheiser, recently said the focus will be on higher-volume models with lower transaction prices. The shift in strategy comes as the Ford Mustang continues to clobber the Camaro in the sales race, with Chevy’s pony car having fallen to third place in sales volume, behind the Mustang and even behind the Dodge Challenger (see running Camaro sales).
The cheapest 2019 Camaro will cost $25,995 in 1LS trimmings, though it is no longer offered with the 3.6-liter LGX V6 engine, just the 2.0-liter LTG turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The base model does add an eight-speed automatic transmission option, though.
Buyers shopping the LT trims will see price cuts up to $3,000. The 2019 Camaro 1LT costs $1,200 less at $26,495, with the 2LT seeing the biggest reduction with a $3,000 cut to start at $28,495. The price cuts make way for a new 3LT trim that bundles the V6 engine and offers various active safety features.
Also included with the new 3LT trim is an eight-inch infotainment screen running the third-generation Chevy Infotainment System, nine-speaker Bose audio and 18-inch aluminum wheels. The wheels are pretty rental-car-looking, and we’d highly recommend flipping through the numerous wheel options Chevrolet offers. The RS package ($1,950) spices things up with 20-inch wheels, a decklid-mounted spoiler and racier accents.
And we’re happy to report that the “Crush” exterior color is now a $395 option. The orange hue debuted with the Camaro Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary edition and certainly recalls “Hugger Orange” of yesteryear. The exterior doesn’t play nice with some interior options, however. For instance, we weren’t able to add a red accent package for the cabin with Crush selected as our choice of exterior color.
We optioned out our own 2019 Camaro 2SS and came to a final price of $47,175. Of course, that figure will climb higher when combing through the Camaro SS 1LE and ZL1. Head to the configurator yourself here.
- Update: it seems that Chevy pulled the configurator, so venture at your own peril.

New front and tail lights look 100 times better.
Uh…GM pulled it.
This is the second time they’ve pulled it!
Why are you typing ‘uh’? Do you talk like that too?
The front end styling is growing on me. What is happening?!
On chevy website now I don’t see it
Click bait.
Are those your two favorite words?
Obviously Chevy pulled the configurator… shaking my head (in disapproval).
I checked the website and it still has 2018 Camaro’s to build….nothing about the 2019????
It’s already on order…a 1SS, so it does not matter…but I would just like to see how its laid out…
It was up yesterday for awhile. I tried to build a V6, but gave me weird messages, like if you ordered the dark tint tail lights you could not order the RS package, or brembos and a couple other options.
I hope it is a glitch and is one of the reasons why Chevy took it down.
??? _ Okay, that was a waste of time. But thanks for trying. No doubt it is not your fault Sean.
didn’t Chevy/Camaro do this last year
Ex wife has 2018 SS, i drove it. I bought GIRLFRIEND 1 owner, low mileage 98 Z28. I had an 02 SS. The 98 wins it for me. At least i can see out the windows, and the motor is just broken in ?
Still am so glad I bought a new 2018 SS! 2019 is more ugly than any previous renditions! So wonder we are third in sales with high prices and ugly styling! Pricing has always been a problem with chevrolet-ford unfortunately, does have a better idea as far as price competition! They have always seemed to be a little cheaper on their mustang models in comparison to the camaros.
This new 19 MY Camaro is hideous!…who designed and approved this “update”? The 16 – 18 MY looks much better….GM should have improved the mickey mouse ears gauge cluster and added lumbar seat adjustment instead.
The website is now up and running. You can use the GMA here button or use this: https://www.chevrolet.com/byo-vc/client/en/US/chevrolet/camaro/2019/camaro/config
nice but they need to take a little curvature of the hood ,perhps come to a point,like the tail lights better than the previous ones
They must have wanted to give Mustang more of a sales lead. Don’t understand what the designers were thinking. Tail lamps, in my opinion, are going another step backwards. The black center fascia bar does nothing for the car. It looks like a kids toy compared to the Mustang. Sad thing is the Camaro is a better driving car. I’ve always bought GM, but I think I’m going to buy a Mustang this spring…
I tried to talk myself into buying a 2019 Camaro RS but I could not do it. The front fascia looks like a person with an over bite and wearing a chin strap. Had it had the 2018’s front fascia I would have bought it in a heart beat. GM has always been known for its designs, what the h_ll happened, and who the h_ll let this car go into production?? I ended up buying a 2019 Mustang GT… I hope they don’t screw up the successful small Buick SUV.
