We’ve been rolling out the renderings with a vengeance lately, posting reimagined iterations of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 that include a sedan and a wagon. Now, we’re applying our digital gloss to the Chevrolet Camaro with the creation of a contemporary Camaro four-door sedan.
Right at the outset, it’s worth noting that there’s currently no indication General Motors intends to actually produce a Chevrolet Camaro sedan. Instead, we wanted to take the iconic nameplate in a new direction to see what it would look like if The General did decide to expand the Camaro into a whole family of vehicles.
Why? Well, just look at the Dodge Charger, which is actually doing quite well in the marketplace. Despite the four-door sedan segment losing ground to crossovers and SUVs, the Charger has bucked the trend, posting sales figures that show a 20-percent bump through the first nine months of 2019, with 71,106 units sold. In fact, the Charger is the only model to see a sales uptick in a segment that also includes the Chevrolet Impala, Toyota Avalon, Chrysler 300, and Volkswagen Arteon.
Clearly, folks like a muscle-bound four-door. So why not a Chevrolet Camaro sedan?
Now, we’re not proposing this as a replacement for the Camaro coupe, but rather, we see it as an expansion of the nameplate. We fully expect some folks to flat out reject the idea, so we’re open to calling it something other than a Camaro if the purists get all triggered about it.
Indeed, this isn’t an entirely new idea, either. In principle, our Chevrolet Camaro sedan is similar to the now-discontinued Chevrolet SS sedan, otherwise known as the Holden Commodore overseas.
So then, dear readers—thoughts on our Chevrolet Camaro sedan? We know you’ve got ‘em, so let loose in that comments section, and don’t forget to subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevrolet Camaro news, Chevrolet news and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Just what Chevy needs, a sedan built off a sports car that doesn’t sell.
Thats the whole point. The sedan body style opens up the market potential exponentially.
I like the idea.. Maybe an AWD option also
So does a Cadillac sedan with more than the average GM blah power !
So does a Cadillac SUV with more than the average GM blah power !
Remember you can get a Charger with a V8 !
Remember you can get a Durango with a V8 !
Remember you CAN NOT get ANY GM midsized vehicle no matter what design with more than the average GM blah 3.6 V6 !
To be clear, CTS-V had a V8.
I would of left out rear door handles to get a more sleek look and go with driver touch sensors to unlock all doors or by remote as this is done on old school hotrods.
I like the idea, but change the name. Instead of Camaro call it the Aileron.
Then why isn’t there a CT6 Coupe? Buick LaCrosse or CTS Coupe? Heck why not take the now discontinued CTS platform n make a El Miraj out of it?
Uhh…. do me a favor and go on google images and search Cadillac CTS coupe smh
It’s awfully hard to get a baby seat in the back seat, a four door version would sure make it easy. I had a 1973 Charger, my first new car I bough when I was 23 and one year before getting married. I sold it ten years later because with two boys, getting the young one in a baby seat didn’t work anymore. On came the 1979 Impala wagon. The wife didn’t complain.
Agree! First, fix the Camaro’s current issues: more window, better sight lines, better seating position, an actual back seat, a bit more trunk space, all-new instrument panel… These mundane things really matter, particularly in a four door. Sure, it’ll probably change the form factor a bit, but c’mon, GM designers can make that work. Chargers already do well with nearly all of these issues – except that snore-of-a-dashboard.
*Only* then it will make sense.
I believe that a sedan would increase the sales of the Camaro , But it needs to have room for four big passengers, plus the police department would love the 450 Hp 6.2 power ! It would help keep the Camaro in production ,A lot longer !
I want everyone to understand my opinion , there should be two model a 2 door and a 4 door model !
Love it!!!
Y’all know my stance on a Vette/Camaro sedan but for the Camaro have different front/rear clips and call it Chevelle…
Just what I was thinking. The premier would be called malibu and it would replace current malibu.
That actually could sell very well the lines look great. I think it would be a good idea for them to think about it. The could use the impala name again it would be a perfect fit.
I like the idea of calling it an Impala.
I would have left rear door handles off and use front driver side to touch entry on all doors to unlock or remotely .this way gives the body a sleeker look .
The Charger is doing well indicates there is a market for RWD sporty sedan. Chevy botched the SS with a lack of effort. They should have had a rwd Impala with a choice of a performance model. The Camaro 4-door may work? How about a hatch version? Maybe even an El Camino?
2 door 2 much.?
F’no did say no f’n way.
Got to be a very board artist, or really stone.
Make it fwd while you’re at it. With a couple of batteries and motors to go with it. ????
If you are going to do a sedan do a properly styled sedan vs just stretching the Camaro.
I can already hear the complaints of the low roof and no rear leg room already.
I love the looks of this as I love the Camaro but you know the complaints already and they will be coming.
Also I would not cal, it a Camaro. Change the styling enough to create a new car based on a Alpha2.
But right now and sedan sales as they are it will not be happening soon.
I like it. I would take this over the boxy Charger that sit’s on an ancient platform.
I agree with C8.R. Keep it swoopy and muscular, but add a little more practicality and-a different name.
Here’s an even better idea *sarcasm. Raise the ground clearance about 15 inches, or 3 feet, and make a fast Kiddo hauler! 🙂
I think it’s a great idea. If you can make the back seat actually usable by adults, and give it the 1le treatment, it would definitely be a selling point. Draw up a wagon too, like caddy did with the cts. 45k for a 1le wagon, I’m there!! Im not holding my breath though.
This is a dumb idea unless you do a Chevy SS, and maybe more trim levels and more options then the last SS. I really like the last SS, it would be cool if they could use the LT1 or LT2 with awd. I live in Chicago so I couldn’t drive the SS in the winter so I got a camaro instead and made it my summer car. It would be nice to enjoy the same motor in a sedan that can be safe for winter
GM already tried that already in various forms; G8, Grand Prix GXP, Impala SS, SS most recently. GM goofed on the SS by pricing it too high, badge engineering an Australian Holden, and then made it automatic only for all but the last couple years of production.
Expanding the brand is definitely a way to keep the name alive. Plus, traditional sedans are not the flavor nowadays and buyers want something different. This I think is a very good start.
They should build a half door like the colorado, most people just have trouble getting in it a half door would solve that, or just call it a chevelle with a different nose and tail
Build it! A performance sedan from Chevy on the Alpha platform. Sweet!!!
By extension build a RWD oriented SUV off the same Alpha platform – something corporate cousin Cadillac should’ve had plans to do.
One can dream, can’t they?
The reason the Charger sells is because it is a high performance roomy sedan that is NOT just a stretched Challenger. If GM were to put a concerted effort into this segment, they need to be more creative than simply a 4-door Camaro. Now GM may say we tried this already with the SS and proved the market was not there. But in reality, they only rebranded a Holden and then charged a ridiculously high price without any good/better/best strategy. It was a one size fit all car, take it as is or leave it. It’s almost like they intended for it to fail just to prove a point and shut up enthusiasts who were begging for it. Like “see, told you so”. Chargers aren’t necessarily cheaply priced, but you got a lot more content in the way of performance, more space, and you could option it out to fit multiple lifestyle…SXT, R/T, Hellcat, etc…
As a long time GM customer (Spouse’s family worked for GM division affording us employee discounts), I’m extremely and increasingly disappointed in GM’s offerings and content for price.
Do it. If it keeps it inexpensive, go ahead and use the same exact front and rear. Heck use as many body panels as you possibly can from the coupe and still be able to sit a couple of American sized adults in the back seat. In another 5 years or so I’ll probably be ready to replace my Pontiac G8 and this would be perfect. But please don’t make it top trim level only like the Chevy SS Sedan.
Just when u think u seen it all a 4 door Camareo really ? What they won’t do to sell there beer can metal plastic junk with computer performance what a joke
I’m loving all the ideas of the 4D Cam. The Sales on the Cam aren’t as high as they once were, changing the name of a 4D Cam would most likely start taking more sales away from the Great Camaro. If you come out with a Chevelle or SS Impala, Camaro sales will slowly creep even lower. People love to buy the Camaro but hate giving up the extra room that a 4D vehicle provides therefore they take the exciting Idea of getting a Camaro out of their lives and go with a Impala or Malibu or a Chevy SUV in stead. If you want the Camaro to sale as the Great Camaro, then Keep the look of the Camaro the same. Add the extra doors and room and sale the heck out of the Camaro people already have been wanting but have been avoiding. I sale Chevy products and this is simply from the voices of my Customers who decided not to buy a 2door Camaro. Increase the size while maintaining the over all shape and let’s see how well they do!
The design is beautiful and I think that Chevrolet should consider this one despite they didn’t do anything too hot for the Chevy Impala latest models they could have at least put an V8 in that one, but they didn’t do it. It was a V6 3.6 liter . Very disappointing they could have came out with the Impala SS model with a V8 5.7 or something to compared to the Dodge Chargers and Challengers that they have out there. If they come out with this model then they will be on top of their game with the wide track quality tires and all of that I think it would be awesome vehicle the Chevy Camaro sedan.
Shut up and take my money! I would buy one as long as they made it with a stick and a V-8.
Sadly the “stick” seems to be loosing out to high quality computer precise 6-8-10 gear slush boxes. I seek out cars with a manual and am always disappointed when I end up with no choice but to get an automatic.
I do find it humorous when a thief tries to steal a car only to realize its a manual and can’t…
I guess the quantity of buyers opting for the manual transmission is just so low now that its hard for car makers to justify the option now days. :'(
With all that said I would take a dual clutch transmission as I find them an interesting compromise.
I’ll never buy a CVT however.
I’ve be shopping for a toy in my retirement and almost all Mustang’s and Camaro’s are automatics. 6 speed manual is the standard for both and the auto is a $1500 option. I agree the manual could make the ride more fun but it is very hard to drink your coffee at the same time but today’s manual sure beats the three on the tree in a 1964 Econoline and a 1960 Renaut Daulphine that I learned on.
Eww, no. Just give me a face lifted SS with less options.
I would love to own a 4 door camaro.i have owned 2 Camaros an LS and a LT2 I loved both.i lost 1 in the great flood of 2016 in Louisiana the second one I had to sell to get a 4 door car because my disabled sister in law moved in with us she couldn’t get in and out of the back seat.i would love to own another Camaro but I’m on disability and can’t afford to buy another Camaro.but if GM or someone reading this wants to donate me a Camaro it would be greatly appreciated.i’m 51 years old and can’t afford to buy own.if GM or someone reading this wants to donate one I’m not picky but if possible I would like the LT2 with the RS package or the 4 cylinder with the RS package and turbo I would be great for GM to donate me a Camaro.you can contact me at 225-313-9209.you can leave a message.
I love the look of the 4 door Camaro!! It is still very sporty, but also classy! I’m looking to buy a new car this year and I want something that looks sporty but I also want 4 doors. That’s why I’ve decided to get the Dodge Charger instead of the Camaro.
So they’re calling the Impala a Camarillo sedan. Good bye keep that shet
This actually looks really good. I think it might be weird since the Camaro was never offered as a sedan but if they go back to the early 6th gen front on all the models and offered this as well (with the same performance/handling of the coupe) I dig it. I don’t know about sales and I know the purist people will hate it just because they can but as a die hard Camaro fan this would be super cool.
As a person who just bought a 2020 camaro 2SS dont do it, Chargers are over rated and they are ugly if you make a 4 door sports car make something fresh dont ruin the camaros name that will just kill generations of camaros to come for when our kids want cars.
I want a 4 door with a tri power 2.7 with around 400 hp. 30mpg highway.Why because gm could do it.
There’s already sedan Cameros out there, all the 4 and 6 Cylinders are sedans and not sport cars .
Make a 4 door Chevy version on this platform and call it a Malibu, it would probably be to small a car to call it an Impala or Chevy SS as those are both rather large cars. I agree with others, it needs to hold 4 large “American Size” adults.
Also think about all the dad’s out there that want a feisty car but have obligations and need room for a couple kidlets.
There should be a range of engine and suspension options since it’s a Malibu you could have a few trim levels to cater to multiple market segments.
Others have mentioned modifying the nose and tail while calling the 4 door Camaro something else. I’m ok with this as long as the new design is still aggressive and interesting.
Just shows what a tailspin GM is in. They have no clue how to regain market share/dominance. The best idea you can come up with is exploit the Camaro nameplate? I’m no fan of the current Camaro but make it a 4 door? Scream to the world we are willing to do anything for the sake of a few more sold! Take a lesson from VW. There was no talk of 4 door, SUV, station wagon Beetles. If you’re going to kill off the car, let it die w dignity. Don’t try and turn it into something that it’s not supposed to be. However if you did go through w this why not call it the Nova or Chevy 3? At least then you make the connection back to when the Nova and Camaro were basically the same car. Btw, Personally I’m still mortified by the 4 door Charger!
GM sucks at making small cars. They need to go back to offering some big cars. CT5 is a really nice car and expensive. If they could make a RWD Impala starting around 25k it would compete with all of the FWD mid-sized sedans. A crossover with AWD would be more practical and sell more. Make it good looking, nice interior with good ergo … And advertise it!
No. Just no.
At least stretch out the wheelbase by six to twelve inches to give adequate room to front and rear-seat passengers. I’m 6’5″ tall and need most of the current door opening to get in and out of my Camaro SS. My seat touches the rear seat. A proper version would maintain the current front doors and equally large rear doors, unless you’re going to raise the roof.
D*mn. Sucks to be you. I remember I used to be envious of you taller guys but now I am fine with my 5’9″ height for this reason alone. I can enjoy anything I’m behind the wheel of. Never knew my height would serve me well with my obsession and love of cars.
Agreed. I’m 6’4″, driving my 392 powered Charger everyday is comfy. Sliding into my 2015 Z/28 on a weekend feels so cramped, racing with a helmet requires laying the seat back gansta style just to fit into the car. The 6th gen Camaros are even worse.
If Chevy has the nerve to charge $50K for a loaded midsize FWD-based Blazer, imagine what they would charge for this.
This would be another Chevy SS part 2 failure. I love the idea but the wrong company is behind it.
Hate all you want on the Charger but the formula Dodge has going on over there is successful for a reason. Challenger included.
Sucks to be you. I remember I used to be envious of you taller guys but now that I’m 36, I am fine with my 5’9″ height for this reason alone. I can enjoy anything I’m behind the wheel of. Never knew my obsession and love of cars would go hand and hand with my height.
A Camaro Sedan reminds me of the G8 GXP, which was a hoot to drive. Please build it.
GM needs a great 4 door performance sedan, but it has to look the part, too. The SS was way too bland looking. While I don’t think this rendering looks great, especially with the awful 2019 Camaro front end, the idea needs to be explored and done, but DONE WELL and not priced at a ridiculous level.
Not to mention loaded, V8-only $45-50k price. Imagine the SS with stylishly front/rear clips, 2.0/2.7-6.6 v8, below $30k start price and a real name…
Chevy needs a version of the Charger. But not at the sake of the camaro. Think of a new name for it and create a whole new car. It’s been long overdue. Chevy fans dont want to drive chargers. We want our own car.
Looks exactly like a Dodge Charger. This is why I never buy a new car. All cars today look alike. I like style and character.
And why don’t we just bring back the front facing layout Impala with the Corvette v8? That was literally Chevrolet’s “charger” back in the 90s was the last real sick Impala.
Looks better than I would have imagined, but the interior of a Camaro is already really tight, and visibility is poor. I just don’t think that it would compete favorably with the Charger/Challenger, which are much larger. I believe that they would sell a few, but no where near enough to justify the expense of doing it.
Gm could simplify there lineup with a good aggressive full size sedan with 3 engine options ranging from 30k to 60k using the 3.6L, LT1,& LT4. Hopefully it would appeal to the masses and give enough options including AWD to each’s own.
I would even say that the reason the Chevy SS and especially the Pontiac G8 were failures is that they were simply too traditional. GM havent really done any of the so called 4dr coupes, and I think they can do them far better than others have. GM is very long overdue for some truly jaw dropping designs. People are not buying the Camaro because the design is stale and the same can be said for the traditional sedan.
I love it… something totally different!
Not a fan. First it lets GM off the hook for not building a true dramatically styled powerful modern Chevelle sedan. Second that 2019 Camaro front end belongs on a truck. Fully agree on a LWB Alpha platform Chevrolet sedan. Disagree that it has to be a 4 door 2019 Camaro.?
I would much rather have an Impala. The Impala is truly an American road car. GM screwed up by killing it off.
No. Just no.
Keep the Camaro the way it is get rigid of the milabu and make two dr chevelle and stay with the 4 dr impala
I’d love a sedan based on the Camaro, just don’t stretch it. Move the b pillar forward and add a back door. For those saying the Camaro is too small, that’s crazy? I’ve rented them several times and came close to buying but it’s just too big for what it is. It’s longer and has a longer wheelbase than my last 3 sport sedans – an E46 BMW, an E90 BMW, and a Lexus is350. I love the interior and trim level even on the base Camaro. Give me a rwr sport sedan like that and I’d be happy.
I think it looks pretty good! I own a 2011 SS Camaro convertible and I love it! The four door looks sleek and sporty still. ?
Lmao. They are barely selling Camaros. Now they want a 4 door Camaro. lmao. Haha.
No one is instrested in a 4 door sedan. People want an affordable good looking 2 door sports car. They don’t want a 4 door! It’s stupid. Do you see a 4 door Aventador? a 4 door La Ferrari. You get the point.
Chevy is doomed. This will be the end of the Camaro.
Can’t wait for the recalls and engine destruction stories on the Hellcat wannabe from Dearborn’s Record Of Failures…..
We have a 2019 Vette GS My daily is a 2019 Buick Regal sport back GS (love it) For a daily I need some room and all wheel drive because my wife is handy capped . I have been a car dude all my long life if they would build a Camaro with room and all wheel drive I would order one! PS I also have a 1999 S10 with Extreme package ( original owner) (into the garage for winter, it’s mint) because it sits very low my wife can get in and out of it. So I think a 4 door Camaro might work for us!
I’ll just stick with my very rare Chevy SS Sport Sedan.
They already had one, it was called an ss sedan based on the golden and it is sweet.
I know this is nothing more than a “RENDERING” but I wouldn’t be surprised if GM actually built it. GM screwed the pooch yet again by failing to bring a decent resto Camaro to the roads just like it has done for a few decades. Why stop now? A name alone does not a good selling vehicle make~~
Leave the Camaro alone but use the Nova name on the 4 door and give it the LS, SS, LT1 packages that would be a easy sell.
I would totally get one. It is very hard to get in and out of a two door for passengers. I love the car but the fact that it had two doors was the only hindrance in not getting it.
A little late to the game, As Usual… Leave the Camaro a 2dr..The SS was a better looking muscle sedan and you sold hardly any..
By the time you add up all the options, you’d better off getting a Vette.
Why the hell is it that when I post a comment it not there when I open the story back up yet I get the comments back in email’s ????????????????????
It’s there, search the page with your name. If you “reply” to a post, it will be somewhere after that post, not at the end of the all post. If you go to the bottom of the page to “comment” it will be at the end of the posts.
YESSS MAKE THIS SEDAN! Call it whatever you want. As a 2011 Camaro 2SS owner with high mileage, I know I’m going to have to retire it at my daily soon. But I need a family friendly car. I agree this would make a great replacement for the impala or SS. But basically I feel like there should be different versions like Cadillac handles the CTS and ATS(Malibu)
I never thought I would agree to a 4 door Camaro but I actually like it. I would buy one to go with my 2010 SS2/RS. Just don’t replace coupe with the sedan!! Give us the option!!
I want one I really like it! I would love to customize this car!
This is a great idea, and wish it was in actual production. My wife loved the idea of a 4 door Camaro for her & i would love to get it for her in an automatic transmission in black if possible. If this becomes a real production car then I can get away with getting myself the 7 speed Manuel transmission Camaro ZL1in orange or blue. Hope GM makes it a reality to get my car as well lol.
DON’T DO IT!!! What they really need to do is make an AWD Malibu/Impala! Then they can have options like V6 or V8, naturally aspirated (NA), turbo charged, or super charger for the power! They could have the Chevy family back, but updated.
I for one would love to have a 4 door Camaro because I have wanted one ever since they came out back in 2010 and I was in High School! I am now a mom of 3 with a successful job who can actually afford one now but with it being 2 door & barely any back seat, it would not be smart for me to get one if I cant fit my kids in it. I agree that people buy the Chargers because it’s a muscle car but with 4 doors. The Camaro would sell a lot better if it was more open to families who would still like a fast car but one they can use to take their boys to baseball practice if need be. That’s just my take on it.
Lets be honest, even guys, if they have one and later on have kids their wives are going to make them get rid of it because they cant fit their baby car seats in the back seat.
I for one love the look of the Camaro with 4 doors. I think it’s beautiful. I wish they would make em in purple like they do a few of the chargers and the challengers.
