Chevrolet does not build many cars like the Chevrolet Camaro: a 2-door coupé / 2-door convertible with 2.0 , built from 2015 to 2023 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Its designer of record is Hwasup Lee (2012) / John Mack.
Where it came from
The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is an American pony car. Produced by automobile manufacturer Chevrolet, it was first introduced to the public on May 16, 2015. Sales started in 2015 for the 2016 model year. The Camaro now utilizes the GM Alpha platform shared with the Cadillac ATS and CTS and features MacPherson struts in front, rather than the former multi-link setup. General Motors claims that 70 percent of architectural components in the new Camaro are unique to the car.
The sixth generation of Camaro saw production return to the United States as the fourth and fifth-generation models had been assembled in Canada. Like its predecessor, the sixth generation of the Camaro is available in coupé and convertible body styles. Compared to the previous generation, it is 2.3 in (58 mm) shorter, 0.8 in (20 mm) narrower and 1.1 in (28 mm) shorter in height. With similar equipment and engine, it is also more than 200 lb (91 kg) lighter. Production of the sixth-generation Camaro ended on December 14, 2023.
Under the skin
Under the skin sits 2.0 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 3339 lb 2.0. The gearbox is a 6-speed Tremec TR-3160 transmission / TR-3160 manual (LS, LT) / 6-speed Tremec TR-6060 transmission / TR-6060 manual (LT1, SS, ZL1) / 8-speed GM 8L transmission#8L45 / 8L45 automat. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 110.7 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Where it sits in Chevrolet's history is not in doubt: the Chevrolet Camaro (fifth generation) came before it; it was built at Lansing, Michigan (Lansing Grand River Assembly), United States. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Ford Escort, the Ferrari 488, the Infiniti Q50. Nearby in the Chevrolet catalogue sit the Chevrolet Adra and the Chevrolet C-10.
The money
On the used market today a Chevrolet Camaro typically changes hands for $16,600–$67,100, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,625–$8,999 a year. Insurance sits around $1,610–$4,000 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
