Chevrolet has quietly introduced the 2021 Camaro. There’s a good reason for the low-key introduction as changes are largely limited to new design packages as well as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Starting with the value-focused trims, the Camaro LT can be equipped with a new Wild Cherry Design Package. It features a Wild Cherry Tintcoat exterior with Black Metallic Hash Mark stripes and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels with center caps featuring the Camaro logo. The package also includes special floor mats with Camaro branding.
2LT and 3LT variants can be equipped with
a Wild Cherry Design Package 2. It includes all the content from the base
package as well as a center stripe, a ground effects kit and a black fuel door
with a carbon fiber accent. The interior also receives sueded knee pads.
Moving up the trim ladder, V8-powered
variants have greater availability of the RS Package and Redline Edition. The
SS 1LE Performance Package – which includes Brembo brakes, a sport-tuned
suspension and Magnetic Ride Control – is also now available on models equipped
with a ten-speed automatic transmission. The Camaro ZL1 largely carries over as
it only receives wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as a Wild
Cherry Tintcoat exterior like the rest of the Camaro lineup.
Under the hood, there are four familiar
engines including a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumping out 275 hp and 400 Nm of torque. Buyers can also upgrade to
a 335 hp 3.6-liter V6 or a 6.2-liter V8 with 455 hp. The top dog remains the ZL1’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 which develops
650 hp and 880 Nm of torque. Pricing starts at US$ 25,995 for the entry-level 1LS Coupe and tops out at US$ 71,590 for the
range-topping ZL1 Convertible with an automatic transmission.
