The latest sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro has very distinct styling, sharing its aggressive fascia styling cues with the new Chevrolet Trailblazer and Chevrolet Blazer crossovers. However, what would happen if Chevy applied the Camaro’s front end directly to an SUV? What would it look like? Now we know thanks to the following rendering images.
Posted to Instagram by user @tuningcar_ps, the new Chevrolet Camaro SUV renderings appear to combine the narrow headlamps, large front intake, and lower chin spoiler of Chevy’s iconic muscle car to the body of a Porsche SUV. The chiseled Bow Tie brand fascia flows rearwards into a curving roofline and muscle-bound haunches, with large alloy wheels sitting in the corners.
The Instagram post includes a multitude of images, each with a few slight variations to the overall rendering. These include different wheels, different rear spoiler treatments, and different sideview mirrors as the artist transitions from the original image of a Porsche Macan to the Camaro SUV.
For now, it looks as though the current sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro will reach the end of its life around 2023, with the possibility of a replacement that may not be in the form that we currently know and love. As far as we know, there are currently no considerations for applying the Camaro nameplate to a crossover or SUV body style, although one could consider the new Chevy Blazer to be somewhat aesthetically related, albeit not mechanically. As such, this Chevrolet Camaro SUV rendering is really only for fun.
That said, there are some rumors that General Motors is considering an expansion for the Chevrolet Corvette brand that may include a new SUV or crossover body style.
Regardless, either scenario, whether it’s a Chevrolet Camaro SUV or a Chevrolet Corvette SUV, is sure to ruffle the feathers of enthusiasts everywhere. On the flipside, SUV and crossovers continue to be hugely popular among buyers, so the situation may be more complicated than it appears at first glance.

As the owner of a ’19 Terrain Denali, I like it (besides the bowtie being backwards).
It was clearly rendered from a Porsche Cheyenne or Macan and those are very sharp (IMHO). GM would never make it. All of Chevy’s CUV thingies look similar, as they are all bland and inspiring. This rendering bucks that trend.
*uninspiring
Unfamous,
Look again…
It’s not a bow tie….
Camaro has the flow tie…
Touche.
Yes, this rendering has the GM “flowtie” (actually one word) that was first seen on the ’14 Z/28. My mistake. And yes, that would be correct, since the ’17-’20 ZL1’s wear the flowtie (the front end that was Photoshopped here), in order to feed more cold air to that 1.7L Eaton blower on the LT4. 🙂
Ok to make a model like this but do not call it a Camaro.
Nomad, Monza what ever but it is no more a Camaro then the FWD based Blazer is a Blazer or a Mach E is a Mustang.
GM screwed up the Cutlass name thinking that slapping that name on just anything would make it sell. How did that work out?
Don’t we have enough crossovers right now to fill the plate it’s time for a high-performance blazer or Tahoe Yukon we don’t need another vehicle that we have so many of right now
Jeff like it or not they are making more as that is what is selling and that is where all the money is.
Used to be we had just as many variations of cars too but over time people abandoned them for the SUV.
To be honest right now a car like CUV that is RWD based as a performance model is hot now. GM has dropped the ball on this model and could use one.
The Blazer FWD is a poor choice for more power and the Tahoe is good but not everyone wants something that big.
The concept here is great but it should have its own name not Camaro or Corvette as it is neither.
You can’t build vehicles on emotions anymore you have to design and build what sells and what makes money.
The Omega was originally targeted but it was dropped for the Cheaper XT6 that while is nice is a disappointment for what should have been.
Yes I know what you mean about them making gobs of money on these crossovers but it would be nice if General Motors would make a high-performance vehicle on an SUV platform I miss my trailblazer SS should’ve kept it
It would be and the Omega was going to be that.
But much of this money is going to the EV program.
It leaves us lacking now but most of the EV models will be as fast or faster than the SS.
I had an HHR SS. It was a blast and ran 13’s . But with FWD and the present AWD the Blazer is not a good choice to go performance. It is hard to get FWD to hook up and I don’t think the AWD is strong enough.
One other thing, it is painful but performance cars are no longer profit centers anymore. The low volumes and high cost of development hurts their business case.
Even the Raptor is low volume selling in the 20k to 30k range. If not based on a truck it would not be.
It used to be cars like the GTO and Camaro sold in six figures with no issue. Today with high cost 20k is boarder line for many vehicles.
We are going to lose the Camaro is a good hunch. But an Alpha SUV could give you something that would make you forget The Trailblazer SS Better center of gravity, V8 and stiffer chassis.
you know I think you’d sell a lot of them.
GM is absent in the performance SUV market so I like this. I don’t care what they call it – just build something compelling. We drive a pair of Corvettes and a Trailblazer SS that is aging. Our exit from the GM family won’t be our choice, it will be them not giving us a valid choice.
They build it now, it’s called the Blazer
Chevrolet dealers are besieged with people standing in line holding fistfulls of cash, begging to buy a Corvette at full sticker price. Mary Barra’s marketing people have GOT to be thinking HMMMMM
Thinking of what ???
Looked at the calendar….nope, it’s not April 1st! If the historically short sighted so-called thinkers at GM must find yet another look alike overpriced SUV to dump on the consumer, please find another name. When and if the Camaro is unwisely selected to be shuffled out the door like all the other legends then let it have the dignity to be remembered for what it is/was.
I hope the radio works ! There are many camaro’s today that the radios don’t work or they short out. and GM will not take care of.!
Just don’t do it…
GM has enough mini wagons now…
I think we all understand the Camaro as it is is dying.
Please let it die with dignity as a coupe as it always was. This way if the time should come a coupe could sell again they can bring it back with no baggage.
The name and image have too much equity to f with it.
There is nothing wrong with a RWD based Alph SUV as The Cadillac XT6 should have been one long ago. But leave the a Camaro heritage out of this as there is no real Camaro in this model.
I propose that one of the reasons CUVs are so popular is their widespread availability. Remember when GM produced sedans… lets not forget that the Cruze sold over half a million units from 2014-2015. Numbers that the Equinox also regularly produces, but the Trailblazer is going to steal some of those sales away from the Equinox because it drives so nice, much sportier suspension tuning than the Equinox.
The most pressing segment GM needs to address right now is the void left in the sedan segment, as it wont compete with existing CUV models. Build a sport sedan/hatchback based of the VSS-F platform and give it a 1.6t or 2.0t and a base model 1.3t or 1.2t. That way GM can compete for sales with toyota and honda in a segment they have free reign over right now, combined selling over half a million units per year in the U.S. The sport trim could compete with VW and Mazda.
Think this is a good idea, as one said name it maybe Monza, Nomad, Greenbrier, etc.. Camaro X probably since Mustang is an CUV also.
Just don’t do it….
GM Has enough mini wagons / hatchbacks …
Front clip of a Camaro, NO….
Whenever I think about it, I am in utter disbelief of how GM has zero performance SUVs, ESPECIALLY given how they invented them. When they came out with the TT 3.6, I knew for sure it would end up in the SUVs at some point, and I can’t believe it never did. Seems like a no brainer to drop that into the new Blazer.
GM current CUVs primarly use transversely mounted transmissions that would have a really hard time handling anything more than 400Nm of force. The only longitudinal layout the would make sense is the Colorado platform… and that’s not happening. So yeah, the new Blazer would need a whole new drive line, center diff, and dynamic AWD development. To do it on level you’re talking about would take years of development, or the acquisition of a company who has it. We talk about this everytime a “performance” suv is brought up and I get fully triggered every time.
I don’t mean this argumentative at all, but I thought the same thing until they put it in the FWD XTS…

That thing was an absolute flop… Most, if not all, current high performance AWD vehicles are longitudinal, maybe with the exception of like some smaller 4 bangers like the Focus RS and Golf R, which iirc are transmounted motors.
That can’t be a Camaro. The windows are tall enough to actually see out.
Vomit.
Camaro as a SUV ? PLEASE… idiotic !! If the Camaro is to go on let it be as a mid engine vehicle with 6 cyl and 4 cyl powerplant. Even mix in as a Hybrid as well. Not some kind of Fiero but larger but not quite as large as the Mid engine Vet.
Should have Turbo or even twin turbo. The price point should be attractive as to no hinder Vet sales as well. Make sure that it does not suffer the same fate as the Fiero with its known engine fire problem.
Call it a Camaro SUV or a Muscle SUV… there is no denying that demand for such vehicles is already outpacing that of the Camaro (and Challenger and Mustang). Offer what the market desires, and enjoy success.
Yes, but if you’re years behind the demand, what good is it going to do. Jeep Cherokee sales are down over the past year and a bet SRT Cherokee sales are down as well. Mercedes and Audi CUV numbers have also plateaued. GM would be wise to invest in a segment that is not already over saturated. Neither FCA or Ford currently offer competitive offerings in the B/C sedan/hatch segment. Seems like a market ripe for potential sales.
As C8.R said, leave Camaro out of this! Monza, Nomad, Greenbrier, SSUV, whatever, just leave camaro out! There will be a day when coupes will become more profitable. When their is need, use the camaro nameplate. If they give it this image now, It will be doomed to that heritage. Just look at the Mach E. People hate it being called a Mustang Mach.
So… A Porsche Macan with a Camaro front end.
Oh lord, this is categorized under spy shots. You guys need a Render/Hypothetical/just for fun section.
Camaro is dead so go for it. I like it.
Hate to tell you Cadillac is dead…
Over priced Chevy,GMC !!!
Cadillac and Buick lol….
You are correct, but so was i.
