2023 CAMARO: WHICH TRIM IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

American muscle cars live on proudly in the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro. Since its inception in 1967, we have seen the Camaro evolve through six generations. You can still see the Camaro’s iconic heritage in its exterior design and the throaty growl of its engine.

With its signature style and power, you now get the latest in-vehicle technology and premium comfort rivaling any coupe in the Camaro’s class. If you’re looking for an exciting ride in a stylish package, there’s a Camaro trim to suit any taste. We had our vehicle experts break down the various trim levels below to help you choose which model fits you best.

2023 CAMARO 1LS

The base model Camaro 1LS has a starting MSRP of $27,195 and has some great features. First, you get a 275 horsepower 2.0-liter engine that produces 295 lb-ft of torque. If you’re someone who wants to feel connected to their car, Chevrolet has paired this engine with a six-speed manual transmission. 

Your 1LS rolls on 18-inch five-split-spoke silver-painted aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season blackwall tires. The 1LS has body-colored power side-view mirrors, LED daytime running lamps, and access to an expansive array of exterior package options. Inside, you have a six-speaker audio system and a 7-inch touch screen that powers your infotainment with systems such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Premium cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a flat-bottom steering wheel add comfort to the cabin. You also have power windows and doors and a wide variety of available upgrades.

2023 CAMARO 1LT

The Camaro 1LT trim starts at an MSRP of $27,695 , and with the modest bump in price comes a similar rise in features. Mechanically, the 1LT has the same basic powertrain but offers a few upgradeable extras for you to choose from, such as an eight or ten-speed automatic transmission, red-painted brake calipers, and a lowering suspension upgrade system.

Minor exterior differences include the 18-inch alloy wheels’ five-solid-spoke structure. You can also add various design and performance packages, such as the RS. This package adds 20-inch alloy wheels, signature LED lighting, an RS-specific front grille, and dark tint taillights. 

Inside the 1LT, you upgrade from a four-way manual adjusting driver’s seat to a six-way power-adjustable version. You can also add various interior packages to elevate your comfort and the car’s technology.

2023 CAMARO 2LT

Moving to the Camaro 2LT and a starting MSRP of $29,695, the gap in features widens. You again find the same standard mechanical operations, but you can choose a 3.6-liter V-6 engine capable of producing 335 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque. Inside, you get the dual-zone climate control system, heated and ventilated front seats, and even more optional equipment, such as RECARO front bucket sport seats.

2023 CAMARO 3LT

Chevrolet’s 3LT trim, priced at $33,695, shares the same powertrain as the other LT models and the same V-6 option. However, you find upgrades including outside heated power mirrors that auto-dim and a memory function that allows two drivers to program their preferred side-view mirror and driver’s seat positions.

Other enhancements include an 8-inch touch screen, premium aluminum interior trim, a premium Bose audio system, and the Chevy Infotainment 3 system. Regular features include driver-assist technologies such as forward collision alert, lane change alert with side blind-spot alert, rear park assist, and a head-up display. A heated steering wheel, illuminated sill plates, a 24-color interior ambient lighting package, and a wireless charging pad are also standard. 

2023 CAMARO 1SS

The SS lineup offers more power, and the 1SS model starts at only $40,695. Chevrolet’s 6.2-liter V-8 engine has variable valve timing, direct injection technology, and a six-speed manual transmission. This powertrain puts out 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque, and an engine cooling system keeps the temperature down. The performance suspension system delivers exceptional control through corners and the 3.73 rear axle ratio gives you the necessary traction. Brembo brakes on the rear allow you to stop safely and with control.

Your 1SS rolls on 20-inch bright five-spoke silver-painted aluminum wheels wrapped in summer-only tires. Dark tint taillights come standard, as do black bow tie emblems on the front and rear fascia and a rear stanchion spoiler.

2023 CAMARO 2SS

Chevrolet prices the Camaro 2SS at $45,695. It features the same engine and transmission as the 1SS model, but you get more available performance upgrades, such as yellow-painted Brembo brakes and an Adrenaline Red interior package. An aluminum interior trim comes standard, as does the Bose premium audio system and the Chevy Infotainment 3 Premium system with an 8-inch display. Other driver-assist systems include rear cross-traffic alert.

2023 CAMARO ZL1

Chevrolet’s top-tier Camaro ZL1 has an MSRP of $69,395 and the features you expect at that price point. For starters, you get a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine capable of an astounding 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of track-tearing torque. In addition, Chevrolet uses Brembo performance brakes on the front and rear to keep this beast under control. 

A quad rear exhaust system provides the throaty growl as it outputs through stainless steel ports. The electronic limited-slip differential adds more traction for your straight-line acceleration. You also get Chevrolet’s magnetic ride control technology that monitors each wheel independently and adjusts vertical suspension by the millisecond to smooth out any imperfections in the road.

The ZL1 rolls on 20-inch Dark Graphite forged aluminum wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar G:2 summer-only tires. Exclusive to the ZL1 trim, the rear spoiler enhances performance and gives it an aggressive style.

Inside, you find alloy sport pedals, RECARO performance sport bucket seats, and a shift knob and steering wheel wrapped in a suede microfiber for enhanced grip and a refined appearance.
