General Motors introduced the latest sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro for the 2016 model year, with a model refresh arriving for the 2019 model year, and a refresh of the refresh arriving for the 2020 model year. Now, GM Authority has learned that production of the latest 2021 Chevy Camaro starts today.
Production of of the 2021 Chevy Camaro continues to take place at the GM Lansing Grand River Plant in Michigan, the only plant in the world to produce the vehicle. According to GM Authority sources, production of the 2020 model year ended August 5th, 2020, while production of the 2021 model year started August 6th, 2020.
The 2021 Chevy Camaro introduces a few noteworthy changes to the nameplate, such as the addition of the 10-speed automatic transmission to the SS 1LE Track Performance Package, which previously was only offered with the six-speed manual. The latest model year also changes up the exterior color options, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features are equipped with wireless capability as standard on all models. Additionally, the package lineup was updated for the 2021 model year.

As for the future of the Chevrolet Camaro nameplate, the current sixth-generation model is slated to continue on until the end of its regular lifecycle, which is scheduled to sunset at the end of the 2023 model year. What happens after that point is currently unclear. Although the Camaro is undoubtedly one of the most iconic nameplates in the history of American performance, a new generation is not currently in the works, at least not in the form we’re used to seeing for Camaro. It’s possible that General Motors will reintroduce Camaro as a new high-performance electric vehicle, which will likely irk the purists, but falls in line with the automaker’s overarching move towards the all-electric segment.
As always, we’ll stay on the lookout for anything and everything Camaro-related, so stay tuned, and make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevrolet Camaro news, Chevrolet news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Can’t wait for the actual production numbers on colors and models of the 2020’s
I want to believe…………………………..
😳
Yet you can’t build or price a Camaro on their website!
So sad.😢.
Such beautiful car.
Can Chevy just redo the 3rd gen IROC smh…. Why are they being so dumb
The IROC needs to come back even moreso since the IROC circuit is coming back. The new Camaro body style sucks . Ford and Dodge are killing Chevy
Today 2021 production for Camaro starts..
Next week 2021 Camaro production DEAD…
GM went soft on this design. Sad that Camaro got treated like a step child.
The design is good but they don’t care to market the car. They put zero effort into selling an ownership experience. I saw a Dodge commercial the other day that they proclaimed their 50 years of muscle car heritage and how they’re “domesticated”. It really left me thinking that the Challenger was a great car but I know in reality it’s garbage.
Chevy promoted the 5th gen on the big screen and other areas. When the 6th gen came out they pulled all the marketing and support for the car. They also really screwed up that 2019 design but at least now they fixed it. They’re killing the car on purpose and it sucks for all of us.
I have had 3 Camaros the last being a 17.
Sold it when GM closed Oshawa.
Now driving a Mustang GT with the 460hp Coyote.
Sad what is happening to the Camaro, and what happened to Oshawa
I feel you I had a 84 z28 a 89 IROC and now a 02 z28 I swear da hell with Camaro if the don’t redo the IROC… I’ll go get a darn Z06
Camaros look like a civic mated with an eclipse these days. After the 2014ish model camaros, they completely made them chick cars.
Gross.
Dude you are a idiot they barely changed from Gen5 to 6.
I rented a Camaro from a dealer two days ago. It was a 2020 with 4000 miles on it. The first thing that happened was the left driver’s window failed to raise up. It was a convertible. Because it’s raining so much here in Florida I had to take the car back within two hours. They said oh yeah that’s pretty common for that car. Then I got another one the first one was read the second white and the white one had a problem with the top. I found it and less that luggage cover mat is clipped in exactly the right position the top won’t go down. The top is very very complex and doesn’t completely lock down or lock up. Very disappointing. The cars transmission hauled and wind as I guess it was that Belt drive CVT model. The car has practically no power power and I suppose I was driving by wire. My dad was 20 years of General Motors and designed all the tools that cuts in Muncie four-speed. I was very disappointed in this car it was very slow very sloppy and yes it has good looks but the interior was plastic the doorhandles were impossible to pull the door closed getting out of the car was really a problem and I’m an athlete and I don’t know why that was configured that way. The backseat had practically no room in it for the children and it is a car I would never never buy. I’mVery disappointed General Motors and the rumor was they were going to quit making it in 2020. Why anyone would buy that car is beyond my comprehension. The top model of the Corvette engine is almost as much as the Corvette itself. Next car I buy will be the marriage and Corvette. #Neuroguru
I freaking love this Camaro. Someone called it a Chick car. Then so be it. I think it’s a Badarse car that this chick drives, so you can call it a chick car if you want. My 2019-2SS is fast and sings right down the road. Hey Chevy, keep producing those Camaros!
Shame how this car has failed, it’s a performance dream for the money. The pre refresh looked fine but still looked to close to a 5th gen so I kept buyers away. The refresh was just downright horrible and GM has done little to push the car unlike Ford and Dodge who continue to push out new models and trim options.
K Norton..You got a rental car what do you expect. They get lowest trim level and people beat the crap out of the car. BTW its basically a 2 seater back seat is for people you dont like..
So does GM do an all new from the Ground up ICE Camaro or do they try and convert it to a Performance EV.
They are being extremely tight lipped about the Camaro so I feel they will most likely lean to the EV side. I feel this version will be around as is for at least two to three more model years with extremely minimal changes.
If they keep it as an ICE Car what Platform do they utilize for it? The Sigma just has too many downsides in terms of space and packaging.
I am obviously just taking a stab at a guess so I could be 100% wrong.
