The Camaro might have been a rush job in the 1960s when Chevrolet hurried to give the Ford Mustang a worthy rival, but the 2023 Chevy Camaro has since settled in and proven there's nothing rushed about it except the rush you get launching from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds. This four-seater sports car is one of the most attractive in the industry because it continues a long tradition in the Chevrolet lineup of blending impeccable performance with unmatched affordability. The combination is even more appealing on the 2023 Camaro, which starts at $26,100, making it budget-friendly without forcing drivers to compromise.
The 2023 Camaro sees only minor aesthetic updates, retaining the expansive lineup of its SS, LT1, LS, LT, and ZL1 trims. This fleet offers something for every driver, from an entry-level sports car with impressive power to a jaw-dropping speed demon that boasts every track-inspired amenity imaginable. There's genuinely a Camaro for everyone, with its long history in the Chevy fleet adding to its appeal as a legend that only gets better with age.
But what else can you expect from the Camaro in 2023? This speed demon is in a unique position after General Motors announced the Camaro would take a break after 2024—a pause to ready itself for its next chapter. This powerhouse is expected to return with an electric powertrain, giving the 2023 Camaro a distinct appeal as what many expect to be one of the last gas-powered sports cars to hit the road. That makes it incredibly enticing, especially considering everything the 2023 Camaro lineup offers.

The 2023 Camaro continues its legacy as a sports car capable of fulfilling every need for speed. Chevrolet ensures as much by offering the Camaro with four potent engines that guarantee there's a Camaro for every budget and performance need. So, what can you expect from these mighty powerhouses?
The Camaro's powertrain lineup starts with a standard 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine with variable valve timing. Standard on the Camaro LS and LT, this engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission or an available eight-speed automatic transmission to produce 275 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. This degree of power is enough to launch the Camaro from zero to sixty in 5.4 seconds. When you're not testing its launch time, you can expect the standard powerplant to average 30 MPG on the highway, making it the most efficient in the Camaro lineup.
You can upgrade the Camaro LT to the 3.6L V6 engine, which you can pair with a six-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission. This combination is more potent than the 2.0L, producing 335 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque to launch the Camaro from zero to sixty in 5.2 seconds. This launch time is even shorter when you get behind the wheel of the Camaro LT1 and SS, taking only four seconds to reach 60 mph—a lightning-fast response courtesy of the 6.2L V8 engine they share, which produces 455 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque.
At the top of the Camaro's powertrain lineup is the 6.2L LT4 Supercharged V8 engine found on the Camaro ZL1. This awe-inspiring powerhouse features a 1.7L Eaton supercharger, producing 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. This power output shaves more time off the Camaro Z71's launch, taking it down to 3.5 seconds of pure thrills and heart-pumping adrenaline that pairs exceptionally well with the dual-mode exhaust that delivers a throaty rumble to signify peak performance.
The 2023 Camaro is a modern sports car by every standard, and it looks the part when you climb into the driver's seat. Chevrolet outfits the Camaro with every tool and feature needed to keep you connected, informed, and focused behind the wheel. This technology starts with the digital driver information display and the center touchscreen display, which frame the cockpit and heighten your experience behind the wheel.
The Camaro's command center has a digital driver information display and optional features like an expansive head-up display that projects vital performance insights on the windshield. You can also add a Performance Data Recorder, which videos your drive and offers real-time data that you can later analyze to improve your technique and performance on the track. Beyond these driver-centric features, the 2023 Camaro also includes a 7.0-inch or 8.0-inch center touchscreen display that serves as your connectivity hub.
The Camaro's center display is home to the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, which outfits the sports car with smartphone integration via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also offers a WiFi hotspot, navigational tools, and a virtual assistant with Alexa built-in that lets you use simple voice commands to add items to your shopping list, connect to smart home devices, make calls, and more. Between Alexa and the intuitive display, you have everything you need at your fingertips.
Beyond staying connected in the Camaro, Chevrolet prioritizes your focus and situational awareness as you navigate the road. Chevrolet equips the Camaro with a host of standard and available safety and driver assistance tools that constantly monitor the front, rear, and sides, alerting you to potential hazards and minimizing the risk of a collision. These tools include an HD Rear Vision Camera, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert that monitor the back of the Camaro; likewise, Forward Collision Alert watches the front, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert closely monitors the sides to make changing lanes hassle-free.
The 2023 Camaro is grouped into three families—the LS and LT models, SS and LT models, and the ZL1. The 1LS starts the eight-trim lineup, serving as a gateway into the Camaro family and introducing drivers to the budget-friendly sports car powered by the 275 hp 2.0L turbocharged engine. As the base model, the 1LS starts at $26,100, which outfits the sports car with LED headlamps, LED daytime running lamps, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and the Chevrolet infotainment system on a 7.0-inch touchscreen display.
The 1LS lays the groundwork for the rest of the LS and LT family, which progresses to the 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT. The 1LT includes a rear vision camera, and the 2LT adds dual-zone automatic climate control. The 3LT offers the most upgrades, including the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system on an 8.0-inch high-definition touchscreen display. The 3LT also includes a premium sound system and advanced driver-assist tools, like Forward Collision Alert, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
The LT and SS families include the LT1, 1SS, and 2SS. The most significant difference in these models is that they're powered by the more powerful 455 hp 6.2L V8 engine. The LT1 is the most basic of the group, featuring LT1 fender badging and black Chevy bowtie emblems. The 1SS adds 20-inch summer-only performance run-flat tires, Brembo performance brakes, and LED lighting. The 2SS takes a cue from the 3LT, adding the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, a Bose premium sound system, and dual-zone automatic climate control with interior spectrum lighting for a unique ambiance.
The Camaro ZL1 sits at the top of the lineup, and rightly so because of its 650 hp supercharged V8 engine. Satisfying every need for speed, the ZL1 features 11 heat exchangers to optimize the engine's temperature, Brembo brakes for enhanced stopping power, and Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar summer-only tires. Inside, the speed demon boasts RECARO heated and ventilated front seats, a heated flat-bottom steering wheel, and every tech feature imaginable, from navigation to Amazon Alexa and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
