Camaro Has Set Standards As One of WardsAuto's 10 Best Interiors

DURAND, Mich. – The designers of the 2016 Camaro have faced challenges before. More recently the challenge was reviving a performance vehicle that has stood the test of time. Yet the designers at General Motors have done just that with the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. The Camaro has set standards as one of WardsAuto's 10 Best Interiors winners.

General Motors certainly succeeded with the new cabin design for the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. They focused a greater emphasis on premium interior including soft surfaces, upscale materials, warm lighting and the latest connectivity and safety technologies. The Camaro is also first in its segment to include a more owner personalization with a LED ambient lighting system that can change up to 24 different available colors.

 
Eight WardsAuto editors, who spent the months of February and March evaluating 47 different interiors, carefully select winners for the Wards 10 Best Interiors. All vehicles competing for the award must be mainstream, affordable vehicles. Also, vehicles must have an all-new or a significantly redesigned interior to qualify. Due to the cost of new vehicles on the rise, WardsAuto is beginning to redefine what it means to be a “mainstream, affordable vehicle”.

The Camaro has set standards as one of WardsAuto's 10 Best Interiors as being a performance vehicle that has transformed with a luxury interior. If you are looking for ways to transform your current vehicle, visit our routine maintenance page on our website. Routine maintenance is the best way to get the most out of your vehicle’s performance and to extend its life. You can make your interior award worthy with our Spring Car Care page where we teach you how spring-cleaning your interior can change the way your cabin feels. Contact our experts at Graff Chevrolet Durand and schedule an appointment for your routine maintenance needs today.
