How much does the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices have softened 1.98% 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 user rating and an 8.00/10 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 the way performance packages sharpen the driving experience. The expert review also points to its power, handling, and style as core strengths.

The trade-offs are clear: the Camaro’s poor visibility makes it harder to live with day to day, the base engine is underwhelming, and the back seat is cramped. That means you should think of it as a driver-focused coupe or convertible rather than a practical all-rounder.

With the Camaro’s classic muscle-car appeal and strong enthusiast focus, it fits you best if you care more about driving enjoyment than cabin space or easy visibility. Good and great deals account for 33.9% of listings, so there is still 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 also points to a car that feels dependable and trouble-free for many drivers, with praise centered on the Camaro’s strong performance and value. That kind of feedback suggests you can count on the car to deliver the experience buyers want from it, especially when it has been well maintained.

The expert review reinforces that impression by describing the Camaro as a car with a strong, familiar formula and a powertrain lineup that supports confident driving. If you’re shopping used, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright durability and more about finding one that has been cared for properly.

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

At 70.9% 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 careful inspection of bodywork, panel alignment, and signs of prior repair. Because the Camaro’s visibility is already a known drawback, condition matters even more when you’re evaluating how well the car has been maintained and whether any past damage could affect day-to-day use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Camaro is offered as a coupe or convertible, and the trim ladder runs from 1LS through ZL1. The base setup includes standard 18-inch wheels, LED daytime running lights, and a limited-slip differential, while higher trims add more performance focus and available features such as LED headlights, a sunroof on the coupe, and power heated mirrors.
• Powertrain: The standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, with a V6, two V8s, and a supercharged V8 also available. The lineup gives you a wide spread of performance, but the manual transmission is described as less satisfying than the available automatics.
• 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, Bose audio, wireless charging, and a rear-camera mirror are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo-four with the manual transmission is rated at 19 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. The automatic improves that to 22/30/25 mpg. The V6 returns 16/26/20 mpg with the manual and 18/29/22 mpg with the automatic. The 6.2-liter V8 gets 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 regardless of transmission.

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 core styling and standard hardware at the lowest price, but it is the most basic way into the lineup.
• 1LT: This trim adds more everyday usability and is one of the trims that can be paired with active rev-matching on the six-speed manual, making it a better fit if you want a more complete driver’s car without jumping too far up the range.
• 2LT: A sensible step up if you want more comfort and convenience than the lower trims while staying away from the higher-performance pricing.
• 3LT: This is the better-equipped choice for shoppers who want a more premium-feeling Camaro without moving into V8 territory.
• LT1: This is the value pick if you want V8 power without paying SS money; it gives you a strong performance foundation and is the trim most likely to appeal if you want muscle-car speed on a tighter budget.
• 1SS: This is where the Camaro starts to lean hard into performance, and it also gets active rev-matching with the manual transmission.
• 2SS: This is the best blend of daily-driver performance and equipment, and it was the tester in the expert review.
• ZL1: This is the most performance-focused variant in the lineup and the one to choose if outright capability matters most.

Some safety technology is not available on Camaro convertible models, so double-check feature availability if you’re shopping for open-air driving.

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

The market looks moderately favorable if you’re a selective buyer.

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,038 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.98% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 70.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,781, 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 $34,094 sits slightly below last year's $34,781.

That modest decline suggests the Camaro has softened a bit in the used market, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper short-term resale gains if you plan to sell soon. The current pricing also sits within a fairly tight year-round range, which points to a market that is stable rather than volatile.

For a future seller, that means condition, mileage, and trim choice will matter a lot when it’s time to list the car. Well-kept examples should still draw attention because the Camaro’s enthusiast appeal remains strong.

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 safety technology is not available on Camaro convertible models.

The mixed IIHS results are the main caveat here, so you should pay close attention to the specific crash-test details and the equipment on the exact car you’re considering.

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:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 70.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.98% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Camaro formula intact with strong power, handling, and style.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $25,801, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $34,094 average.
• It stands out as a budget-friendly choice with sleeper-like LT1 appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current-market availability, softened pricing, and high owner satisfaction, the 2021 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2020 is the smarter value play, especially if you want Camaro performance without stretching your budget.
