The upcoming 2022 Chevy Camaro is set to arrive as the seventh model year of the latest sixth generation, introducing a few minor changes and updates over the current 2021 Chevy Camaro. Now, however, GM Authority has learned that production of the 2022 Chevy Camaro has been delayed.
Originally, production of the 2022 Chevy Camaro was set to begin Monday, June 14th, 2021, as GM Authority covered previously. Now, however, production of the 2022 Camaro is set to commence on September 20th, 2021, roughly three months later than originally planned.
The new production dates include both the 2022 Chevy Camaro Coupe and 2022 Chevy Camaro Convertible. Just like the current 2021 model year, the 2022 Camaro will be produced at the General Motors Lansing Grand River facility in Lansing, Michigan. Order books for the 2022 model year opened April 8th, 2021.
When it arrives, the 2022 Chevy Camaro will introduce only a selection of small changes and updates compared to the current 2021 model year. The changes include small alterations to the equipment offered within each trim level, as well as a few new color options.
No major changes are expected for the powertrain lineup, with four engine options on offer. These include the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG, which produces 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX, which produces 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT1, which produces 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque, and at the top of the heap, the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4, which produces 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.
Under the skin, the 2022 Chevy Camaro will continue to ride on the GM Alpha platform.
As GM Authority covered previously, the future of the Chevy Camaro is somewhat uncertain, with the current generation set to sunset in 2023, and the Camaro nameplate possibly going all-electric.

Please God give us an LT5-powered Camaro and an LT4-powered Acadia Denali R and XT6-V Blackwing
and a XT5 V @Jason
This will give GMA 3 more months to post “First Look” articles on the 2021’s.
I wish I would see some TV adds for Camaros all I see is Toyota Honda Kia ….etc so hey GM advertising might help some sales …… oh and what about Chevy medium duty trucks never TV ads. In the meantime Chevy made Ford # 1 in truck sales every Landscaper is driving F550.Because a bunch a years ago CHEVY STOPED making medium duty trucks. I just don’t understand YYYYYYYY
I’ve purchased 2 5th gen Camaros… everything in the last 3-4years has looked terrible. I have friends that were thinking about Camaros (both of whom previously owned them, as well)….yeah, it’s just not happening. The look isn’t there, the performance…Camaro is just dead, the consensus is that no one wants them. #CancelThisCar
In my eyes the 5th gen was the ugliest version of the Camaro ever. Those oversized headlights and a tall grill just don’t balance out. I have a 2019, 1SS convert and I get nothing but good comments how it looks. What I like about the 5th gen is young girls and guys can afford one to own, make modifications as all of us when we were young to do. I’m on three FB Camaro groups and I’m always impressed how many young women just love their Camaro’s.
Not many vehicles today can you get a V8, two door, rear drive. For 2020 over 30,000 units were sold world wide. Sure sales numbers are dropping and a lot had to do with the pandemic. It’s still a lot of people do like the Camaro.
I just love on how eternal “Camaro-Haters” like MGM live in their own made up narratives of fabrication. Its seriously over reaching and pathetic..
You need to buy a tuner car, sounds like that’s about all you age group knows.
The performance is there for the Camaro. It can match the Mustang around corners or straights. In some instances match both the Mustang and Challenger with less HP. The problems is that they do not market the car, they have horrible naming schemes. Interior is cramped, trunk space is only usable when the back seats are down. Outward visibility turns away a large amount of drivers. They already have a 2 seat sports car, which is the Corvette, the back seats to the Camaro essentially makes it a 2 seat sports car. The performance is there the utility is not.
I love my camaro! It’s the second I have owned and If they come out with a 7th gen I’m there 💚
Nothing looks as good as a 2017 and up Zl1 in the muscle car segment . Get your eyes checked kid.
Unfortunately, no one will notice and who cares anyway. It’s not selling like hotcakes.
It does not matter much in the north most dealers have few on there lots till spring because few buy them until then.
The Camaro was scheduled to discontinue in 2023, but has been extended to 2026.
Dead Man Walking! The 10 speed automatic transmission available on the V6 and V8 Camaro’s will not be offered on the 4 cylinder 2,0 litre turbo. All horsepower ratings remain unchained. 4 cylinder (275 hp) , V6 (335 hp) and V8 (455 hp).
I have a 2010 Camaro RS 6 spd. and I love it but after 2016 they changed that front end too much…and now the front and the whole car looks nothing like a Camaro…..just like the 2000 + models they deserve to be shelved! They never know when to quit…..just like the Corvette which looks like a foreign car…
They screw up everything !
That depends for the corvette, it’s been well received by many. Just the stingray alone people were buying them for more than the asking price. This was before the chip shortage. So in your eyes yes, but generally it’s been well received.
Conclusively, the Camaro is limited, it has a compromised backseat, tiny trunk area, and for most, horrible outward visibility. It did have the handling part as an excuse the compromises. Up until Ford decided to upgrade the Mustang for 2019 and continues to do so. That’s the part of GM that I hate, they put out a decent product, but if it does horrible they give up. Lackluster interiors don’t really help either. Not being motivated to bring in younger buyers is not helping them either.
Ford has the Raptor, Ram has the TRX. Chevy so far isn’t doing anything for the Silverado. But they’ll sure as hell charge 100k+ for the Escalade V coming out. Sure it’s cool, but where’s the Silverado’s performance version? Where’s Chevy’s answer to the Raptor or TRX? Where’s Chevy’s answer for the special editions? They do nothing to invigorate their cars.
That’s why it’s a SPORTS CAR, not a family coupe. Leave the Camaro the way it is. Younger buyer, that’s a joke.
Which is leading to its demise yet again. Sale figures talk to the manufacture and if the car can’t meet profits through sales then it dies off. There’s a reason why it’s behind not only the Mustang but the Challenger as well. Both offer more interior space and more trunk capacity. Outward visibility is inferior in the Camaro. The Camaro lost its only advantage in 2019 to the Mustang. The Mustang matches the Camaro in performance, beats it in the utility department. The Challenger excels both the Mustang and Camaro in utility Sometimes being cheaper to buy than the Camaro.
The joke isn’t younger buyers, the joke are the people who don’t realize what’s killing the car. Like you for instance, where you might know that the Camaro is dwindling in sales but wants to keep the car the same. People like you are what’s bringing Camaro sales down.
On top of that I said nothing about taking away its sporty intentions. But making it more usable is never a bad thing. Offering better performance isn’t cutting it anymore. They have to start appealing to the demographic that’s going to buy their car, not the ones who don’t want anything to change. It can still be a sports car while offering better utility.
When the 10 spd was developed they didn’t have the LTG 2.0t in mind. They had the LSY 2.0t in mind, which produces less power but is more efficient and refined. In my opinion they should replace the 2.0t and 3.6 for the 2.7t. From there upgrade the SS LT1 to the C8’s LT2. Keep the cheaper V8 LT1 trim, upgrade the ZL1 LT4 to the LT5. Maybe come up with some special edition models. Like Bumblebee, with automotive badging. Or the Gumball Rally edition with the Z28. Something to reinvigorate the Camaro lineup.
Now that there is time… Please fix the bubble rear lights, (prev version pls) upgrade the interior materials and lighten the car.
Hey guys maybe if you advertise the camaro on TV you would sell more the I see on TV is Toyota and Honda adds …. NEVER NEVER a camaro … I have a 2010 orange camaro 6 speed V 8 and it’s a great car. And if they start making ELECTRIC camaros forget it the Camaro is DONE DONE guys want to hear horse power not a golf cart going around. PS I also own 4 other real Camaros 1967-two 1968 and a 1969 when CHEVY WAS KING OF THE ROAD
You know Chevy current slogan, ” Find new roads” is exactly the perfect slogan. But they didn’t finish it. It really is “Find new roads to another manufacturer because we can’t supply anything” Go GM “Giant Mess” and Mary Barra. Get rid of this women if you want to save GM.
I have a idea that all car company’s should do to help the CHIP problem. If you ordered a car you get it before they dump
a bunch of over price trucks and SUV’s on the market. The loyal costumer’s should come first before the all mighty dollar.
I know that won’t happen but let’s dream…
The Camaro factories have been shut down through June 28th, dealers in Minnesota have no new Camaro’s on the lot. GM’s focus with the chip issue has been the trucks and SUV’s. GM is sells by far the most vehicles of the big three and also GM is most profitable of the big 3 (fact).
2020 Camaro ZL1 vs Hellcat – Camaro is much nicer looking car and it beat the Hellcat in the 1/4 mile. The Hellcat looks ugly. I have owned a Camaro Zl1 and the ride and handling was great.
2 QTR 2021 sales:
GM – 668,000
Ford – 475,000
Fiat Chrysler – 485,000
One little horsepower/torque bump, like from 455 to 475, would create a lot of hype GM. You have a winning chassis with the weight you dropped a few years ago, and we enthusiasts haven’t forgotten that, just due for a little extra power (and those darn chip delays jacking up prices to go away), and me and many others are buyers in 2022/2023.
This is crazy we have to wait for chips made from other countries….IF WE Supposedly LANDED ON THE MOON???? WHY CANT WE MAKE OUR OWN CHIPS FOR THE CARS ON EARTH.‼️‼️‼️‼️&&&&&&
Well now I see today oct 30 2021 Chevy is saying camaro sales are down and now talking about discontinuing the camaro….. WELL Chevy I know you guys in charge of making changes are too young to know that GM was the top leader long time ago the best and Chevy was The real KING of the road. So if you decide to stop making CAMAROS you will make mustang sales go crazy. Just like stop building medium duty trucks and look around you guys made Ford trucks #1 on the road …. SO ITS TIME TO WAKE UP before Chevy and the whole GM corporation is gone.PS I have a 2010 camaro and it is a GREAT CAR and have had all kinds of GM cars because they were the best!!! But I don’t know where we are headed no more Oldsmobile no more Pontiac no more impalas pretty soon there will be nothing to buy.‼️‼️‼️
