How much does the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices have softened 3.95% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,043 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare by trim, body style, and equipment.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro a good car?

Yes — owners rate it 4.9/5, and the expert rating is 8.00/10. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Technology.

Owners consistently praise the Camaro’s strong performance, great value for the price, and the way the performance packages sharpen the driving experience. The expert review also points to its stylish design and engaging handling, which fit the Camaro’s role as a car that prioritizes driving enjoyment and presence.

The trade-offs are just as clear: poor visibility and a cramped back seat make it less practical, and the base engine is described as underwhelming. If you want a car that feels lively and looks the part, the Camaro fits that use case well; if everyday comfort and cabin space matter more, you may want to look elsewhere.

The market shows 30.3% of listings as good or great deals, so there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

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

The owner feedback also emphasizes dependable performance, with many drivers describing the Camaro as a car they enjoy and trust over time. The expert review reinforces that sense of durability in use by describing the car as smooth and capable in its core performance role.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright mechanical drama and more about choosing a well-kept example that hasn’t been abused or neglected.

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

At 69% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-performance trim or a car with a modified or heavily optioned setup. Focus on condition, visibility-related wear, and whether the car’s equipment matches how you plan to use it.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Camaro’s coupe and convertible body styles share a similar look, but the convertible adds roofless style while the coupe keeps the traditional fixed roof. Base-trim cars can feel less special inside, and the cabin design is described as less appealing overall.
• Powertrain: The standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, with a 3.6-liter V6, 6.2-liter V8, and supercharged V8 also available. The automatic transmissions are 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 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 returns 19 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. The automatic improves that to 22/30/25 mpg. The V6 manual gets 16/26/20 mpg, while the automatic gets 18/29/22 mpg. The 6.2-liter V8 manual gets 16/24/19 mpg, the automatic gets 16/26/20 mpg, and the supercharged V8 returns 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 style and core driving character at the lowest starting point, but it’s the trim most likely to feel basic compared with the better-equipped versions.
• 1LT: This is a smart step up if you want more everyday livability without jumping too far up the price ladder, and it’s also one of the trims that can get active rev-matching with the six-speed manual.
• 2LT: Choose this if you want a more comfort- and convenience-oriented Camaro while staying in the mainstream part of the lineup.
• 3LT: This is the better pick if you want a more premium-feeling Camaro without moving into the V8-focused trims.
• LT1: This is the value play for shoppers who want V8 power without paying SS money, and it stands out as the best-value trim for performance-minded buyers.
• 1SS: This is where the Camaro starts to feel more serious, especially if you want stronger performance hardware and the kind of setup that suits enthusiastic driving.
• 2SS: This is the best choice if you want the most complete daily-driver version of the SS formula, and it was the tester in the expert review.
• ZL1: This is the most performance-focused variant in the lineup, aimed at buyers who want the Camaro’s most extreme factory performance.

The Camaro’s safety technology is available, but some technology is not available on convertible models.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,043 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.95% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 69.0% 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 $33,520 sits slightly below last year's $34,899.

That softer pricing can help you buy in at a more favorable point, but it also suggests the Camaro has already absorbed some near-term depreciation. If you plan to resell later, the key will be buying a clean, well-equipped example that stays desirable to performance shoppers.

Because the Camaro still attracts buyers who want style and driving enjoyment, a good-condition car should remain easier to move than a less distinctive coupe. Strong trim choice and careful maintenance will matter more than chasing the cheapest example.

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.

The mixed IIHS results are the main caveat here, so if safety is a top priority, you should pay close attention to the specific equipment on the 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:

• 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 69% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.95% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Camaro’s classic muscle-car formula with strong performance, engaging handling, and few updates for the year.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $26,736, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $33,520 average.
• It offers a sleeper-like value proposition with serious performance hardware under understated sheet metal.

The bottom line: If you want the newer year with a broad market of listings and strong owner satisfaction, the 2021 is the better default choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2020 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Camaro’s core appeal.
