How much does the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices have softened 2.99% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,013 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of cars to compare.

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 strong handling, with many also liking the available performance packages. The expert review reinforces that appeal by highlighting the car’s power, handling, and style.

The trade-offs are clear: the Camaro’s poor visibility and cramped back seat make it less practical, and the base engine is described as underwhelming. That means you should view it as a car for driving enjoyment first, especially if you want a sporty coupe or convertible rather than a daily-use people mover.

With 31.4% of listings priced as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

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

User feedback also points to the Camaro being dependable and trouble-free for many owners, with praise centered on the kind of performance you can count on over time. The expert review adds that the car’s powertrain and driving character are consistent with what you expect from a muscle car, which supports the sense that it delivers a familiar, repeatable ownership experience.

If you buy used, the main long-term risk is less about outright mechanical drama and more about finding a car that has been maintained well and not abused.

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

At 68.8% 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 the car has performance upgrades or a modified suspension, exhaust, or wheels. Focus on body condition, panel alignment, tire wear, and signs of hard use, since the Camaro’s appeal often attracts enthusiastic driving. If you’re considering a convertible, pay extra attention to roof operation and weather sealing.

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. The cabin is stylish but functionally awkward, and the base setup is light on polish compared with higher trims.
• Powertrain: The standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. You can also get a 3.6-liter V6, a 6.2-liter V8, or a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The automatic transmissions are more fuel-efficient than the six-speed manual, and the V8s deliver the strongest performance.
• 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 equipment 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 premium 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.

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 experience at the lowest cost, but it is the most basic way into the lineup. It makes sense if you care more about the shape, rear-drive character, and standard tech than about extra comfort or performance hardware.
• 1LT: This is a smart step up if you want a better balance of equipment and value. It also gets active rev-matching with the six-speed manual, which makes it a stronger pick for shoppers who want a more engaging driving experience.
• 2LT: Choose this if you want more comfort and convenience than the lower trims without jumping into V8 territory. It is a good middle-ground choice for buyers who want a nicer daily driver.
• 3LT: This is the trim to consider if you want a more upscale-feeling Camaro with more of the available features. It suits you best if you care about comfort and tech as much as style.
• LT1: This is the best-value choice 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 character on a tighter budget.
• 1SS: This is the first trim that really leans into serious performance. It is a good fit if you want stronger hardware and are willing to pay more for it.
• 2SS: This is the best choice if you want the Camaro’s performance with more of the premium equipment and the tester’s kind of setup. It is the most compelling all-around pick for shoppers who want a well-equipped performance car.
• ZL1: This is the one to buy if you want the most performance-focused Camaro in the lineup. It is the right choice only if you want maximum capability and are willing to pay for it.

The safety package includes rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-change alert, and rear parking sensors, but some technology is not available on Camaro convertible models.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,013 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.99% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 68.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,809, 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 $33,986 sits slightly below last year's $35,034.

That price movement suggests the Camaro has softened a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key is to buy well and keep the car in strong condition, because a cleaner example should be easier to move than one with accident history or visible wear. The Camaro’s performance appeal should continue to support demand, but condition and trim choice will matter a lot when it comes time to sell.

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 Good ratings from IIHS and five-star and four-star ratings from NHTSA.

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

A good list of safety technology is available, including 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 mean you should not treat it as a class leader for crash protection, even though the available driver-assistance features help.

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:

• 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 68.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.99% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 keeps the Camaro’s classic muscle-car formula with strong performance, engaging handling, and few updates.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $26,767, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $33,986 average.
• It offers a sleeper-like value proposition with serious performance hardware under understated sheet metal.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year pricing context and a broad selection of listings, the 2021 is the better starting point. If your priority is spending less and you’re comfortable giving up some of the current-year market context, the 2020 is the more budget-friendly path.
