The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro is a time-honored sporty, high-performance muscle car
One of the oldest American nameplates in use, the Camaro has been around since the late 1960s. This iconic muscle car is now in its sixth generation, which was introduced in 2016. With the unstopping march toward electrification, this is likely the last of the gas-powered Camaros. The Camaro remains primarily unchanged for the 2023 model year with just some minor trim revisions. Chevrolet offers the Camaro as a coupe or convertible with multiple trim levels and powertrain options. At one end of the lineup is the Camaro 1LS with a 275-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual gearbox, while at the peak of the Camaro lineup is the ZL1 that boasts a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 pumping out 650 horsepower. As it was decades ago, the Camaro goes head-to-head with the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger.

5 reasons to buy the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro
What We Like
Performance: While many enthusiasts pine for the classic Camaros, this current generation delivers performance on a level never possible in earlier versions. The V8 Camaros provide the full-on muscle car experience with the accompanying strong acceleration and throaty soundtrack, but even the turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides an entertaining punch of power. The manual transmission with rev matching makes every driver feel like a pro, and the Camaro delivers a fun-to-drive experience backed up with excellent handling and braking.
Comfort: The Camaro is surprisingly comfortable with a suspension that delivers a smooth ride — especially with the Magnetic Ride Control™ in the V8 models. The front seats provide good support without feeling tight, and the padded armrests and doors are a nice addition.
Technology: As with other GM models, the Camaro's infotainment system is well designed for easy navigation. Graphics look good with large icons; however, the base-level seven-inch touchscreen display is a bit small — the larger eight-inch screen is still smaller than the competition but is the preferred option. Wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® are standard, as are voice recognition and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
What Needs Improvement
Storage: Utility is not in the Camaro's vocabulary, with very little space for even daily cargo-carrying duties. The trunk has just 9.1 cubic feet of space, and it isn't easy to load with a tiny opening and high liftover height. Storage inside the cabin is also lacking, with small door pockets and a small center armrest storage. As is often the case with a sport coupe, the rear seats are best reserved for small children, but they actually work better for carrying cargo.
