the fourth year of the current design. Pontiac has redesigned the 2017 Trans Am
Camaro during the resurrection of retro vehicles several years ago and with
coupe and convertible options, the 2017 Trans Am Camaro offers something for
everyone. Pontiac even offers four different trim levels with three different
engines. The 2017 Trans Am Camara LS and LT share a less powerful engine, while the
SS and ZL1 can match up against most any 2017 muscle car.

Exterior
The 2017 Trans Am Camaro marks one of the most iconic vehicles on the road and the 2017 Pontiac Trans Am Camaro nods to the vehicle’s history while still managing to
remain stylishly contemporary. The first version of the Trans Am Camaro debuted
in 1966 as a competitor to the Ford Mustang. The present-day 2017 Trans Am Camaro

more balanced appearance that looks less severe.
Interior
& Cargo
The
interior of the 2017 Pontiac Trans Am Camaro offers seating for four, although
the cramped rear indicates that it was designed with drivers in mind. Drivers
enjoy an ample 42.4 inches of legroom, while those in the rear make do with
just 29.7 inches. The base 2017 Trans Am Camaro LS comes standard with cloth
upholstery, although upgrading to the higher level 2LT results in leather
seats. Although the seats are adequate, they can get slightly uncomfortable on
long car rides and the ride can veer towards being choppy. In reintroducing the
Trans Am Camaro, Pontiac faced with the difficult task of appealing to both a
youthful demographic and a nostalgic customer base. A number of features
testify to Pontiac’s commitment to the younger demographic, including Bluetooth
wireless capability and Sirius XM Satellite radio, which come standard on all
trims and styles. All trims are also equipped with MP3 capability.
Evaluating
the interior features on the 2017 Trans Am Camaro is difficult since the
features vary wildly depending on the trim. The base 2017 Trans Am Camaro LS falls
into the entry-level sports car category. While the LS and LT offer a good
value, their features reflect their lower price point. To its credit, the LT
does offer some nice perks at a relatively low added cost, such as power seats
and power steering. Meanwhile, the SS and ZL1 offer luxury touches such as
steering wheel audio controls and a voice-activated navigation system.
Cargo
capacity on the 2017 Trans Am Camaro remains limited but not out of line with
the other vehicles in its category. The coupe offers 11.3 cubic feet of cargo
capacity, while the figures for the convertible vary depending on whether the
top is down. With the top up, the convertible offers 10.2 cubic feet of cargo
capacity, which drops to 7.9 cubic feet with the top down.
Safety
The 2017 Trans Am Camaro offers front, side, and side-curtain airbags on all trims.
Traction and stability control also come standard. Upgrading to the LT brings the
added bonus of fog lights. Well worth springing for among buyers who live in
the city, The 2017 Trans Am Camaro offers optional rear-mounted parking sensors, and the
backup camera provides another worthy option.
