2021 Camaro Overview

As you compare the lists above, you may find that the most significant difference is the ability to upgrade from the nimble yet powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, capable of putting out 275 horsepower. When you upgrade to the 3.6-liter V6 engine, you’re bringing that total up to 335 horsepower, which shaves a few crucial tenths of a second off of your zero to 60 miles per hour time.

The superior transmission option also makes for smoother transmission, which is how the Camaro can retain a good deal of its fuel economy even as the engine becomes larger. No matter which of the two Camaros you choose, you can count on great features like the following:

• • Front bucket seats
  • StabiliTrak, an electronic stability control system with traction control
  • 4-wheel antilock disc brakes
  • Air conditioning, single-zone
  • Power windows with driver and passenger express up/down
  • Power door locks and remote keyless entry
  • Power mirrors
  • Tire inflator kit
  • Floor mats
  • Full folding rear seat for coupe models (not available for the 2021 Camaro convertible)
  • One-month trial of Chevrolet Connected Services Trial and one-month of OnStar Safety and Security Plan Coverage

The 2021 Camaro LT adds to those features, of course, giving drivers certain luxuries. For some people, the added power is the most important thing. For others, the Camaro 1LT must be available as a convertible. The upgrade to the passenger seat’s adjustability may be a nice touch if you plan on bringing a copilot with you regularly. Other technology, comfort, and convenience features are must-have amenities for some and unnecessary expenses for others.

It’s all about deciding what you want from your vehicle and how you can get the most bang for your buck. No matter which of these two trim levels you choose, you’re getting a sporty car that will make you feel connected to the road. The same is also true, of course, of the higher Camaro trim levels. Continue to take a closer look as you hone in on which of these Camaro models is most appropriate for your lifestyle.

2021 Camaro Engine

The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro LS is a base model that doesn't skimp on a lot of features that you expect from advanced models. In this case, you get a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine. It generates 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. If you like to get to where you're going sooner rather than later, then this engine definitely gets the job done.

The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro LT has the same standard 2.0L engine. Need more power? No problem. Level up with the 3.6L V6 engine with a robust 335hp and 284 lb-ft of torque.

Both trims come equipped with 6-speed manual transmissions with the option of upgrading to an 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. With either transmission, you feel in control. You won't be able to get enough of the quick, precise gear shifting.

2021 Camaro Exterior

2021 Chevrolet Camaros are definite eye-catchers. The chiseled body is hard to ignore, so you’ll always get plenty of looks when you take to the road. The well-built frame is the perfect combination of potent strength, classic design, and bold style.

If you're the wallflower type that doesn't want to stand out, don't bother with either the LS or LT. Why? Because these sports cars demand attention, admiration, and respect from other non-Camaro drivers. If you don't mind being the envy of the driving world, then you're the perfect driver to hop behind the wheel of one of these showstoppers. Stop worrying about trim levels, and choose a different vehicle altogether.

Standard exterior features of the 2021 Camaro include all of the following:

1. • 18" 5-split-spoke silver-painted aluminum wheels
   • 245/50R18 all-season, Blackwall Tires
   • Body-color power outside mirrors
   • Front intermittent wipers

When you upgrade to the Camaro LT, you’re able to choose some enhancements that aren’t available with the LS. You can make the vehicle look even sharper and more aggressive with upgraded wheels. If optimizing the wheels and tires is too subtle of a change for you, consider losing the top with the Camaro convertible. This also adds a rear spoiler to balance the aerodynamics and add some sportiness to the appearance.

You can customize both models to your heart's content. The Camaro body is already unique, but you can kick things up a few notches with various accessories. You can truly make the LS or LT reflect your style. Make your sports car your own by choosing from an extensive range of floor mats, emblems, stripes, wheels, and other accessories. With a few additional enhancements, you can transform an already awesome car into an extraordinary road machine that leaves onlookers speechless. This is especially true at the 1LT trim level, thanks to various special editions and optional packages.

Sliding into a 2021 Chevrolet Camaro takes you to another world. You're no longer entering a car. Instead, you're entering into a refined cockpit that's optimized for top-flight driving performance.

2021 Camaro Safety Features

When you make a car this fast, you have to go to great lengths to make sure it’s still safe. As in every other capacity, the 2021 Camaro delivers.

The 2021 Chevy Camaro LS and LT share the same standard safety features. Have a teen driver? If so, you'll be pleased to know you can configure the vehicle settings to suit younger drivers with the teen driver system. You'll also feel safer behind the wheel with features such as StabiliTrak, which is an electronic stability control system with traction control.

• • LED daytime running lamps

  • OnStar® & Chevrolet Connected Services capable
  • Chevrolet Connected Access capable
  • Seat belts, 3-point, all positions include front seat driver and front passenger seat belt pre-tensioners
  • LATCH System
  • Trunk emergency release handle

What you don't get with the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro LS and LT are many of the driver-assist features that aren't available, such as the forward collision alert, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Although the safety and driver assistance features in the 2021 LS and LT trims are advanced, they should not be considered a replacement for driver responsibility. It's still important that drivers operate their vehicles safely and lawfully. Remain focused on your surroundings, traffic, and road conditions. Keep in mind that the features’ functionality can be affected by weather, visibility, and street conditions. To learn more about the safety features, read the vehicle's owner's manual.

2021 Camaro Fuel Economy

With the Camaro LS, you get the 2.0-liter turbo engine with 22 MPG city and 30 MPG highway fuel economy. The Camaro 1LT allows you to upgrade to a 335 horsepower 3.6-liter V6 with 18 MPG city and 29 MPG highway.

2021 Camaro Price

The 2021 Camaro LS comes with an MSRP from $25,995. The 2021 Camaro 1LT comes with an MSRP from $26,495. The starting prices for these two trim levels are very similar, but keep in mind that the options you add from there will affect the vehicle price as well. One of the best things about the new Camaro is that there are so many different trim levels and options available that you can make it your own.

If you have the budget, consider going for a convertible, a bigger engine, or an appearance package. If you’re trying to keep the cost down and just enjoy the performance, you can do that as well. If you’re torn as far as which features matter the most to you, the best thing you can do is explore all of your options in person.
