How much does the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices have softened 1.07% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,038 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro earns a 4.9/5 from owners and an 8.00/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Technology.

Owners consistently praise the Camaro’s performance, handling, and value, and many also like how the performance packages sharpen the driving experience. The trade-offs are familiar: poor visibility, a cramped back seat, and a base engine that feels underwhelming compared with the stronger options.

That makes the Camaro a better fit if you want a stylish, fun-to-drive muscle car and can live with the everyday compromises. It also helps that 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a car people feel good about keeping, with praise centered on performance, value, and a driving experience that feels rewarding over time. The expert evaluation also reinforces that sense of durability and everyday usability through its straightforward controls and functional tech setup.

Chevrolet also includes a useful maintenance perk in the ownership experience, which can help reduce early-service hassle. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about mechanical drama and more about whether the car’s condition and prior use match its sporty reputation.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Camaro?

At 69.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-trim or performance-oriented example. Pay close attention to visibility-related wear, interior condition, and whether the car’s equipment matches the trim and body style you want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Camaro is offered as a coupe or convertible, and the lineup includes 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, LT1, 1SS, 2SS, and ZL1. The base trims are simpler, while higher trims add more performance focus and equipment; the SS is described as the best blend of daily-driver performance, and the ZL1 is the most performance-focused variant.
• Powertrain: The standard engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. You can also find a 3.6-liter V6, a 6.2-liter V8, and a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, with automatic transmissions generally delivering better fuel economy than the six-speed manual.
• Safety package: Available driver-assistance features include rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-change alert, and rear parking sensors. Some technology is not available on convertible models.
• Infotainment: Standard tech includes a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, voice command, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, a six-speaker audio system, 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, and keyless entry and start. An 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, wireless charging, and a rear-camera mirror are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo-four returns 19 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined with the manual, or 22/30/25 mpg with the automatic. The V6 gets 16/26/20 mpg with the manual and 18/29/22 mpg with the automatic. The 6.2-liter V8 returns 16/24/19 mpg with the manual and 16/26/20 mpg with the automatic, while the supercharged V8 is rated at 16 mpg combined.

Which 2021 Chevrolet Camaro trim should I buy?

The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro is offered in 8 trim levels: 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, LT1, 1SS, 2SS, and ZL1.

Here's the short version:

• 1LS: This is the entry point if you want the Camaro’s style and core driving character at the lowest rung of the lineup, but it’s the most basic way into the car.
• 1LT: This trim is a sensible step up if you want more flexibility in equipment and powertrain choices without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• 2LT: Choose this if you want a better-equipped Camaro that still stays on the more accessible side of the range.
• 3LT: This is for you if you want a more premium-feeling Camaro without moving into the performance-focused V8 trims.
• LT1: This is the best-value trim if you want strong V8 performance without paying SS money; it gives you serious muscle-car hardware in a more affordable package.
• 1SS: Pick this if you want a sharper performance setup and a stronger daily-driver balance than the lower trims.
• 2SS: This is the better choice if you want the more fully equipped SS experience and can justify the extra cost.
• ZL1: This is the one to buy if outright performance is your priority, since it is the most performance-focused variant in the lineup.

Some safety technology is not available on Camaro convertible models, so check equipment carefully if you’re shopping open-top cars.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chevrolet Camaro?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,038 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.07% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 69.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,776, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro's resale value?

The current average of $34,203 sits slightly below last year's $34,571.

That small decline suggests the Camaro has softened a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may modestly temper what you recover later. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, the current pricing gives you a reasonable entry point relative to recent market history.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro safe?

The Chevrolet Camaro earns a mix of Good, Acceptable, and Basic ratings from IIHS and five-star and four-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Camaro’s available driver-assistance suite includes rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-change alert, and rear parking sensors. Some technology is not available on Camaro convertible models.

The mixed IIHS results are the main caveat here, so you should treat safety equipment and prior damage history as especially important when shopping used.

Should I buy a 2021 Chevrolet Camaro or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 69.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.07% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Camaro formula intact with strong performance, good tech, and a broad trim lineup.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $25,828, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $34,203 average.
• It stands out as a budget-friendly sleeper with LT1 performance hardware under plain styling.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of price, inventory, and owner satisfaction, the 2021 is the better target. If your priority is spending less up front and you’re comfortable giving up some of the 2021 market advantages, the 2020 is the more price-sensitive path.
