MIAS 2019: Turbocharged Chevrolet Camaro revealed, priced at Php 3,298,888

MANILA:  Chevrolet revealed its Camaro at the 2019 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) which must have brought a wave of happiness amongst the Camaro fans. However, the Philippines-spec model will not have a mighty V-engine, instead, it will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine.

Yes, that’s right. Perhaps, this has been done to make sure that the V8-engine Corvette, which was made available in the country last year, doesn’t take a hit. Even though the new Camaro has got just a 2.0-litre engine, it shouldn’t mean it won’t be any fun. This engine produces 275 horses and 398 Nm of peak torque and comes mated to an 8-speed paddle-shift automatic gearbox. These numbers should be enough to keep the fans happy.

Another figure that would make the Camaro fans cheer is Php 3,298,888. That’s the price of the new car. Yes, still it’s expensive than the Ford Mustang 2.3-litre EcoBoost variant which is priced at Php 2,838,000 but there are a few things in this world whose price you can’t justify.

But look on the brighter side, if Chevrolet had brought the V8 Camaro, it would have been priced supremely higher. The 2.0-litre variant is affordable and still offers all that Camaro-feeling.

It is also equipped with the RS package which gives you a decklid spoiler, gorgeous 20-inch wheels, and an RS badge on the grille. Chevrolet has also included its MyLink infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s also a nine-speaker Bose sound system. So entertainment won’t be an issue.

Do you think Chevrolet's strategy of bringing the 2.0-liter Camaro is a good move and should it launch the V8-powered Camaro sometime in the future?
