Chevrolet’s 2020 Camaro lineup features new front
end styling for the SS, a new LT1 V8 performance model and a 10-speed automatic
gearbox option for 3.6-liter V6 models. The Camaro SS’ front end is
inspired by the design of the Camaro SS Shock concept that came out last year
at the SEMA Show. This means that the 2020 SS now boasts a repositioned bowtie
emblem in the upper grille and a body-color bar between the upper and lower
grilles.
Additional 2020 updates include a new Rally Green
exterior color, plus a wide range of features that customers can use in order
to personalize their new Camaro. These include a rear spoiler (on LS, LT), dark-tinted taillights (LS,
LT), 20-inch alloy wheels (LT, LT1, SS), red or orange brake calipers (LT, LT1,
SS), red seat belts and knee pads available on all models, RECARO performants
seats for the LT, sueded microfiber-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob trim
(LT, SS), alloy pedals on all models, black bowtie badges and Camaro fender badge
for the LT, plus Adrenaline Red and Ceramic White leather interiors available
on 2LT (previously 3LT and 2SS only).
Also, the 3LT now comes standard with the 2.0-liter
Turbo engine and both the Convenience and Lighting packages, which before were
optional. The 2020 Camaro LT1 is said to combine the “content and design” of
the 1LT and the SS. Powered by a 455 HP LT1 engine, this is the most affordable
Camaro V8 model with a starting MSRP of US$ 34,995, including destination.
Customers can get it in both Coupe and Convertible
form, with a standard six-speed manual gearbox or the optional 10-speed
automatic. Additional features include the LT exterior styling which now gains
the SS’s vented hood, LT1 fender badges, black bowtie emblems, 20-inch SS style
wheels, all-season tires, plus the optional Technology Package, which includes
an 8-inch color touchscreen and a Bose premium audio system.
Chevrolet will now match its 10-speed automatic
transmission with the 3.6-liter V6 engine in Camaro LT models. This gearbox is
based on the 10-speed design offered in the Camaro SS and ZL1, yet it was
specifically tailored for the “performance parameters” of the V6.
Chevy’s 2020 Camaro range will go on sale early this
fall, with production taking place at GM’s Lansing Grand River Assembly plant
in Michigan.
