How much does the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices are up 1.31% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 1,066 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 4.9/5 user-rated car with an 8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Technology.

Owners consistently praise the Camaro’s impressive performance, great value for the price, and strong handling, especially when equipped with performance packages. The overview also points to its stylish design and fun-to-drive character, which line up with the car’s core appeal.

The trade-offs are real: poor visibility, an underwhelming base engine, and a cramped back seat. That makes it a better fit if you care more about driving enjoyment and classic muscle-car presence than everyday practicality.

With 31.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a car people feel good about keeping, with praise for value and performance that suggests many buyers feel confident in the ownership experience. The expert review also describes the Camaro as a car that continues to deliver the power, handling, and style buyers expect, which supports its dependability as a used purchase.

For long-term ownership, the main risk is not outright durability so much as living with the Camaro’s compromises day to day.

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

At 68% 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 close inspection of bodywork, panel alignment, and signs of prior repair. Because the Camaro’s visibility and rear-seat packaging are already limited, condition matters even more when you’re comparing individual cars. Focus on how the car was equipped and maintained, since the trim and option mix can change the ownership experience a lot.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Buyers can choose from coupe or convertible body styles, and the lineup includes 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, LT1, 1SS, 2SS, and ZL1. The SS is described as the best blend of daily-driver performance, while the ZL1 is the most performance-focused variant. Base-trim equipment includes 18-inch wheels, LED daytime running lights, and a limited-slip differential, while features like LED headlights, a sunroof, and heated mirrors are available.
• Powertrain: The standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and buyers can move up to a 3.6-liter V6, a 6.2-liter V8, or a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The manual transmission is standard with the turbo-four, and the automatics are described as smoother and more fuel-efficient 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 Camaro 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. Available upgrades include an 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, Bose premium audio, wireless charging, and a rear-camera mirror.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo-four with the manual transmission gets 19 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. The automatic version improves to 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. The V6 and V8 options vary, with the manual generally less efficient than the automatic.

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, and it gives you the Camaro formula with the standard turbocharged four-cylinder, rear-wheel drive, and core equipment like the 7-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the lineup, but it’s also the trim most likely to leave you wanting more power and comfort.
• 1LT: This trim is a smart step up if you want more flexibility, since the Camaro lineup offers multiple powertrain options across the range and the 1LT is one of the trims that can be paired with the six-speed manual. It’s a good fit if you want a more customizable Camaro without jumping straight to the performance-focused models.
• 2LT: This is the better-value choice if you want a more complete daily-driver experience, since the Camaro’s available tech and comfort features become more relevant as you move up the range. It suits you if you want a balance of equipment and price rather than the bare minimum.
• 3LT: This trim is for you if you want a more upscale Camaro experience with more of the available convenience and technology content. It’s the right pick if you care about the cabin and features as much as the driving character.
• LT1: This is the standout value play if you want stronger performance without going all the way to the SS. The cost-effectiveness commentary points buyers toward Camaro performance without stretching too far, and this trim is the one most clearly aimed at that sweet spot.
• 1SS: This is where the Camaro starts leaning harder into performance, and it’s also one of the trims that can get active rev-matching with the manual. Choose it if you want a more serious driver’s car and are willing to accept the Camaro’s everyday compromises.
• 2SS: This is the trim used in the expert review, and it represents the more fully equipped side of the SS lineup. It’s the best fit if you want the daily-driver performance blend the review calls out, along with a richer equipment mix.
• ZL1: This is the most performance-focused variant, and it’s the one to buy if outright capability matters more than comfort or practicality. It’s the top choice for buyers who want the Camaro at its most extreme.

Some safety technology is not available on Camaro convertible models, so verify 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 market, so you can shop selectively without expecting deep bargain-bin conditions.

• Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,066 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.31% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 68.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,784, 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 $33,960 sits slightly above last year's $33,519.

That upward move suggests the Camaro is holding buyer interest well enough to support used values. If you’re planning to sell later, the current pricing trend is a positive sign because it shows the market is still willing to pay for this model year.

Strong demand for the Camaro’s performance and style should help keep it relevant with shoppers who want a classic muscle-car feel. 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.

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 Camaro convertible models.

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:

• 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 68% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.31% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 keeps the Camaro’s familiar power, handling, and style without major changes.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $25,546, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $33,960 average.
• It stands out as a budget-friendly Camaro with sleeper-style performance.

The bottom line: If you want the current-year Camaro with strong owner satisfaction and a healthy used-car market, the 2021 is the safer default. If your priority is spending less and you’re comfortable giving up some of the current-year pricing, the 2020 is the better value-focused path.
