The Chevrolet Camaro has been chosen as the best of fifteen all-new or significantly updated cars that were eligible for Motor Trend’s 2016 Car of the Year award. All Vehicle of the Year contenders were selected by Motor Trend judges and evaluated against six key criteria: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of their intended function.
The cars were taken to Hyundai's California Proving Grounds for a week of instrumented testing. After these tests, the field was narrowed down to seven finalists: Audi TT, BMW 7 Series, Chevrolet Camaro, Honda Civic, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Mercedes-Benz GT S, and Toyota Mirai. These vehicles were then driven for hundreds of miles in real-world road trips before Motor Trend’s nine judges voted the all-new Chevrolet Camaro the 2016 Motor Trend Car of the Year.
Based on General Motor's Alpha platform architecture, this completely redesigned sixth-generation Camaro is sharper looking inside and out and has the latest in technology, including some interesting gadgets like Apple CarPlay and 4G LTE Wi-Fi. The new Camaro is built for driving enthusiasts, sporting a chassis that is hundreds of pounds lighter than the previous generation and available with three different engines. You can choose from the high-tech, turbocharged 275-horsepower four-cylinder engine, a sporty yet fuel-efficient 335-horsepower V-6, or a menacing 455-horsepower V-8.
"Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," said Edward Loh, Editor-in-chief of Motor Trend, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer."
