How much does the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices have softened 2.01% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,056 listings available, which suggests you have room to compare options.

If you find a listing below $31,814.57, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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, strong value for the price, and the way its power and handling come together, especially with performance packages. The car also stands out for its stylish design and fun-to-drive character.

The trade-offs are clear: poor visibility and a cramped back seat make it less practical, and some drivers find it challenging to get in and out of. That makes the Camaro a better fit if you want a focused sports car rather than an all-purpose daily driver.

With 29.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have a decent chance to find a compelling price.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

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

The owner feedback also points to a car that feels dependable in the ways that matter to enthusiasts: strong performance, satisfying power delivery, and a driving experience people feel good about living with over time. That kind of repeat praise usually matters when you’re trying to judge whether a used sports car will keep feeling rewarding after the novelty wears off.

The expert review reinforces that impression by describing the Camaro as an iconic nameplate that continues to deliver the power, handling, and style buyers expect. It also notes that the car’s overall formula remains familiar rather than heavily reworked, which can be a plus if you want a proven setup.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the car was maintained carefully and driven responsibly.

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 you’re considering a car with performance options or a convertible body style. Focus on signs of prior damage, uneven wear, and any issues that could affect visibility, cabin usability, or day-to-day livability.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Camaro is offered as a coupe or convertible, and the lineup includes 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, LT1, 1SS, 2SS, and ZL1. The base setup is relatively sparse, while higher trims add more performance and equipment; the SS is described as the best blend of daily-driver performance, and the ZL1 is the most performance-focused variant.
• Powertrain: You can find a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V6, a 6.2-liter V8, and a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The turbo-four returns up to 22 mpg combined with the manual and 25 mpg combined with the automatic, while the V6 and V8 options trade efficiency for more power.
• 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 audio, wireless charging, and a rear-camera mirror are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged four-cylinder gets 19/29/22 mpg city/highway/combined with the manual and 22/30/25 mpg with the automatic. 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’s core style and driving character at the lowest price, but you should expect the fewest features and the most basic overall setup.
• 1LT: This is the trim to watch if you want a better balance of equipment and value, especially because it can be paired with the six-speed manual and gets active rev-matching.
• 2LT: Choose this if you want a step up in comfort and convenience without jumping all the way to the performance-focused trims.
• 3LT: This is the better pick if you want a more upscale-feeling Camaro and are willing to pay for extra equipment.
• LT1: This is the smart choice if you want V8 power without moving into the pricier SS models; it gives you a strong performance foundation for less money.
• 1SS: This is where the Camaro starts to feel like a serious performance car, and it’s a strong choice if you want the classic muscle-car experience with more capability.
• 2SS: This is the best-value trim if you want the most complete everyday package, since it combines strong performance with more equipment and was the tester in the review.
• ZL1: This is the one to buy if you want the Camaro’s most performance-focused setup and are willing to pay for the top-end hardware.

Some safety technology is not available on Camaro convertible models, so check equipment carefully if you’re shopping for one.

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

The market looks selective rather than overheated, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,056 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.01% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 68.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,814.57, 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 $34,223 sits slightly below last year's $34,926.

That kind of softening suggests the Camaro is still in a healthy pricing band, but it has lost a bit of momentum compared with the prior year. If you buy now, you may benefit from that lower entry point, but a future sale will likely depend on how well the car is equipped and how carefully it was maintained.

Performance cars can hold attention well when they’re clean, well-optioned, and desirable to enthusiasts. The Camaro’s broad trim range and strong reputation for driving enjoyment should help support demand, especially for better-equipped versions.

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 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Camaro a mix of Good, Acceptable, and Basic ratings, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it five-star and four-star ratings.

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

The Camaro’s available driver-assistance features include rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-change alert, and rear parking sensors. That’s a solid list for a sports car, but the safety ratings themselves are not class-leading.

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

• 29.5% 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 2.01% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Camaro formula familiar while adding wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $27,156, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $34,223 average.
• It is presented as a budget-friendly sleeper with LT1 performance hardware under clean sheet metal.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year tech and a still-softening market, the 2021 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is maximum performance value for less money, the 2020 is the more budget-friendly path.
