A couple of years ago GM Authority took a stab at rendering a Chevy Camaro four-door sedan. We’re doing so again today, but this time around, like the automotive industry seems to be poised to do, we’ve gone electric.
If the thought of an electric Camaro makes you want to scroll down to the comments section and chime in on the thought of an electric Camaro sedan IN ALL CAPS, let us just say that WE HEAR YOU. But rumor has it that GM is planning on building that very vehicle. We’ll talk about that in just a few. For now, let’s check out the renderings.
Our rendering of an electric Camaro sedan is heavily based on the current, sixth-generation model but with several key changes. First, we added two more doors while shortening the length of the front ones, so as to accommodate the sedan layout. We then added an EV-friendly front fascia that keeps some of the styling from the sixth-gen Camaro, while borrowing some cues from the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV, such as the blocked-off grille/grille insert.
Eagle-eyed readers will notice that the SS-style heat extractor on the hood is present, even though it likely won’t be necessary or functional. Out back, we replaced the familiar dual exhaust in favor of a clean lower fascia. And we’re banking on the flexible packaging of GM’s Ultium battery pack and BEV3 platform to make the rear seat adult-friendly. The entire ensemble of this electric Camaro sedan rides on a set of multi-five-spoke 19-inch wheels optimized for the enhanced aerodynamic properties of an EV.
As GM Authority exclusively reported in June, the timeframe for discontinuation of the current, sixth-generation Chevy Camaro is rather fluid, with uncertainty as to when the current generation will be sunset. GM’s original plan involved discontinuing the current, internal combustion-engined muscle car in 2023, after the 2024 model year. However, GM Authority sources have also said that a plan is being considered that extends the sixth-gen Camaro program through the 2026 model year.
After that, the Camaro will likely evolve into an all-new, all-electric vehicle. How many doors that product will have is currently unclear, but given that Chevy will find itself without a single sedan in its lineup over the next few years, we would say that a Camaro sedan is exactly what the doctor ordered.
No matter the door count, it’s worth noting that a future Camaro EV will be supported by GM’s $35 billion investment to develop new electric and autonomous vehicles through 2025. The result of that plan will have the automaker plans to launch at least 20 new EV models in North America in the next five years before migrating its entire light-vehicle portfolio to EV by 2035.
It’s also worth noting that General Motors President, Mark Reuss, recently provided another hint at a future electric Chevy Camaro. During a presentation of GM’s electric vehicle plans in 2020, the automaker teased an image (above) that showed what appears to be a Camaro body atop of GM’s latest BEV3 platform.
Although Reuss declined to “put a year on that” in terms of a timeframe for the release of an all-electric GM sports car, the executive did indicate that such a vehicle was well within reach for the automaker in terms of technology and development. Reuss addressed the topic by discussing the Cadillac Celestiq, the luxury marque’s upcoming all-electric flagship sedan.
“What we’ve done with those [battery] modules and cells is we’re able to flip those on their sides to get the [hip] point down and to get the roofline down in the car,” Reuss said. “And so that car is a very low-roof car, and that sort of sets up that variant of the Ultium platform.”
“Lots of things being looked at, studied, designed, engineered,” Reuss added. “But I can tell you that the platform is absolutely capable of doing just about everything we want in our portfolio across every segment.”

Call it a Corvair. It looks like my dads old Monza and that is not a bad thing.
Just don’t call it a Camaro.
NOPE, let it go already put it to rest this is like beating a dead horse. Build a RWD 4 door sedan Impala SS EV and let’s more forward
I believe there’s still life in an Alpha 1 based Impala with 4.3/5.3/6.6 engines. The Charger/300 outsell Camaro more than 2:1.
Luigi Colani said back in the ’90s that Americans do large cars well. GM abandoned those, and have done small cars poorly.
I agree about large cars. However, there needs to be an AWD option on all of them. It is simply foolish to not offer that. People in the north need that option.
To me, the modern day pickup truck is what the full size car used to be. Big, heavy, and a V8 engine.
FWIW, I heard a gas rwd Ford sedan is under development also it’s well known the Charger with possibly 300 is new for ’24. It looks like Ford and FCA group is doing a 2 prong approach of having a gas and electric performance 4 doors under it’s wing.
GM been awfully quiet about what’s coming in the next 3 years as highly positive GM brass is looking at this site. I’m thinking a continuing ICE Camaro, an EV sedan and a Charger style Malibu replacement, I hope that’s the case.
I have a 2016 Camaro LT2 and love it. But, I am for electrification. Just do one sensible thing. It must remain a 2-Door Sedan !!!!! Four doors are UGLY!!!
It’s a good thing GM Authority aren’t designing cars for gm. Your renderings are fugly.
I can see the Corvair claim. Unfortunately with the reputation of the new Bolt battery fires this thing is ‘unsafe at any time’.
This is an abomination. How about drawi mg a sketch of what the actual future camaro might look like, with an actual V8 that will actually sell.
All Camaro needs to do is make a less content,, less expensive version of the CT4, CT5 caddy , put a NA LT2 in it, make a 2 dr with a lower belt line, make a good looking 4 door also and call it a day. Make it so it can be electrified also which should follow Cadillacs lead.
DON BJORKLAND , After reading the rest of the comments on here ,In my opinion you made best answer for the future Camaro !
So now four adults can feel like they are driving around in a cave. No thanks. And that front end does not represent a Camaro. It’s as bad as the abomination Chevy put on the current coupe.
Looks like a Dodge Charger. Which might be a better name for an EV.
Come on and make a hybrid Camaro and a all electric similar to Fords machE. But make them on the CT4 and CT5 platforms
Everything changes, that’s why we don’t all drive 57 Chevys and square body trucks. I think we can keep gas, and diesel, AND have electric all together! Just like gulf carts that run both. As for the Camaro I would add an electric one to me and my boy’s collection. Would probably be 1000hp plus.
that’s GOLF CARTS, but go idea
Just cause things change doesn’t mean they are better.
No electric lets do hydrogen takes 5 mins 5 mins to fill tank
That ought to put the Camaro in the grave. Does anyone know what a sports car is anymore?
Jeezus! It’s bad enough that they pervert a Camaro with electric motors and then they put on those godawful wheels as well?
Just placed our order on Thursday for a ‘22 2SS! Not chancing it anymore, getting the rumble now before it goes dead quiet!
Congrats! I have loved my 2016 Camaro SS since it came home with me in late Dec. 2015. I just wish I had more time to enjoy it. (It’s not my daily driver, and having a few young kids makes dedicating time for enjoying the Camaro tough) I have considered selling it, and I still might in the next year or two…but that thought also really sucks lol.
Camaro IROC-E. Keep that same Camaro shape and it’s dead on arrival.
So ugly! The newer ones aren’t selling as is because they don’t look a Camaro anymore, more like a love child of a mustang and a charger. And a 4 door version get out. Just pick a different name they’ve killed off for that. 🤢
Man, you guys are harsh. The rendering doesn’t blow me away but if they need to make a 4 door along with the coupe in order to keep making the camaro I say go for it.
Too many doors, never liked 4 door vehicles anyway. They are doing everything they can to kill off the Camaro once and for all, never to return.👎 I seen a rendering of a 4 door C8, I’m happy I got a 2020 Mid Engine Vette, still has the roar of a throaty V8. The direction GM is going with EV’s it is doubtful I will be buying another Corvette in this lifetime. Guess you could say I saved The Best for Last. 🙏👍😎
It would have been better to start with a SS sedan and add Camaro styling to it.
I can see an SS sedan but NOT name it Camaro. Not that I would be interested in a 4 door anything, just never liked 4 doors.
“We Render A Potential Electric Camaro Sedan”
Don’t quit your day job…
What a joke. Your renders suck, glad you folks aren’t designing these things.
ehh…don’t be so harsh. I don’t care for it either, but I’ve seen other sites put out their own renderings recently that were worse. Yes…worse.
Blasphemy.
I get so tired of these stupid renderings, a total waste of time. Can we please get rid of these articles and don’t tell me if you don’t like it, don’t read it, because either way it’s still a waste of space and time!
These must be out of work GM designers.
Any legacy vehicle manufacturer that claims they will be all-EV by 2025 or 2030 is simply green-washing you. Total BS. The market demand will be no where near that high for EVs in a decade. Reminds me of vaccination goals. Cant get there. Total leftist, climate change loving propaganda. There’s no lithium and the grid couldn’t provide enough juice if there was. You think GM is going to walk away from pickups and pickup framed SUVs? No chance.
I agree with you but Afghanistan is loaded with Lithium, I read 80% of the worlds supply. China already moved in with the Taliban so they can start Mining it. Strange how people think battery power is the way to go but where are they getting the electricity to charge these vehicles? Fossil Fuels! Just sayin………
But why?
I really don’t thing I can come up with word that could be used… What a JOKE…
The front end design is 🤢🤮, I’m glad this is a rendering because it’s worse than the BMW grill.
Hydrogen is the way to go.
Electric has too much infrastructure and is dependent on actual generation of electricity. All this talk of electric cars but we are already on the verge of blackouts when it gets hot or cold. No plans on how to generate all this newfound electricity. Hydrogen versus electric is like cellular versus landline. Convenience and independence will eventually make the case for this greener technology. Bring on the 500 hp hydrogen powered Camaro sedan. That would be a fun road trip!
Yiiiiikes can keep that.
Same butchery they pulled on the Chevelle. Let the name fail in peace. Call it the Biden.
Plz let’s go back to a real looking Camaro you’re over thinking this put the irocs back on the camaro and get back to a 2 door of course not everyone will like it that’s life but definitely going in wrong direction looks like a impala ss
No, looks terrible. Better idea would be 3rd gen inspired style. I almost see a rear hatch in the one picture.
Front end is 🤢🤮, I’m glad this is just a rendering 😌😭
You already said that……..
……clown.
🤣👍
Oh i guess i messed up
Please 🙏 I hope GM makes an electric chevy camaro because if we all have to go electric ⚡ please I want to drive me a Camaro in 2030
I’ve had 3 Camaros in my life, including my current 2010 SS. YOU COULDN’T PAY ME TO OWN ONE OF THESE!!!! Leave the name of Camaro alone. I want to remember it for what it was. I don’t particularly care what you call this car. Will any car company be brave enough not to jump on the politically correct ba wagon. Sure building electric cars are fine…but before you get excited about electric powered cars, look onto how and where it comes from!
Couldn’t pay me to drive one! Call it something else!
How about Chevy Charger! Be brave GM and don’t sell out to political pressure
Too late, that happened when the Chicom loving women took over.
Know what I can’t wait for…a NASCAR Race that takes 2 days because we have to come back after the cars recharge!!!
looks good just don’t call it a Camaro its a four door Camaro’s are two doors coupes just give it another name
GM did the same in Australia with our Monaro by Holden calling our four door Kingswood a Monaro its like the thing ford is calling there EV a Mustang
Since 1967, Camaros have been 2 doors. Don’t effit up by calling a 4 door vehicle a Camaro. Call it a heritage name that was once available as a four door, but not a Camaro
Who in God’s name rendered this? “Let’s put a door handle on the rear quarter, yeah that’ll do.” Don’t quit your day job.
You must not be that bright. The door handle is on the rear door. Open your eyes and shut your mouth big guy.
Props to these guys for taking a chance with new ideas!
The whole design needs to change. The car is a mess of blind spots and those tiny windows don’t help.
Definitely an overcorrection from the last gen, where the side windows were so huge you’d burn out regulator motors left and right.
Keep the Camero a two door internal combustion engine because 4 door electric is blasphemy lol.
electric cars .. which means we’ll need 50 times more electric power plants, which unless nobody noticed, run on Nat Gas and some on coal .. we have 2 Nat Gas ones locally .. almost ZERO carbon emmisions STOP listening to the Weather Channel clowns/liars
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should have.
You really need to stop with these render. You’re just pissing off GM fan.
Why not? Its a solid third place in the Pony Car wars anyways, what have they got to lose….
You can’t just throw a rounded nose on a square body. The whole car should make an attempt at looking coherent. I would think suicide doors would still make it a sedan and keep the coupe silhouette better. I’m thinking SS coupe-like sedan concept car from 2003 with current design language.
“aero” wheels are cute, when the Camaro is a brick. It wouldn’t be hard for GM to make a body with 0.25 Cd, but they don’t seem to concern themselves with speeds over 55mph (enough to game the EPA tests, and where aero still doesn’t matter much).
Please just cancel production on camaro it’s not worth making people aren’t going to buy this ugly thing period
It seems gm is bound and determined to kill Camaro first they don’t spend much effort promoting it to putting a smiley face on it now a 4dr? They didn’t learn there lesson in bankruptcy because they are headed that way again!
Apart from the squinty headlights, the rest is nearly perfect. GM as in the past is late to make a competition to the Ford Mustang. So make a 4-door crossover Camaro to compete against the Mach-E
Where are the rear seat passengers suppose to put their feet?
How about their head?
Just stop right now!!!!
That’s plain dumb looking and a four door to boot. Just design a new car for Pete’s sake don’t ruin the camaro!!!!
Just leave current grille design, put a flat plastic blackout a few inches behind it so it retains the look.
A lot of things are going to be pushed back because of the computer chip shortage. I bet the camaro live on until 2026 and why not if the factory can still build them. GM also may not be fully electric once everyone realize the cost of batteries and the cost of cars will be. GM has recently stated that they really plan to be carbon neutral by 2040. That’s not fully electric. This is plan that will not go as planned for any automaker.
You can make a grown man cry with how ugly this pos is. Do not call it a camaro. A camaro is American muscle. 2 door coupe light weight biggest mf engine you can stuff under the hood. Burns 16 gallons in a quarter mile. You want a tree hugging prius go buy one. Leave the camaro alone.
GM could be selling a significant amount of the current Camaro if they didn’t leave it out to pasture. FCA and Ford are milking their Challenger and Mustang platforms with more powerful specialty editions to keep them relevant and receive the benefit of the halo effect for the brand in general. GM/Chevrolet keeps playing around with nothing more than color schemes. WTH!!!!????
There should’ve been something above the ZL1 like yesterday.
They already did this, and it didn’t work. There’s already quite a few options for high end Camaros. They aren’t selling. It’s that simple. They either need to build a new one from the ground up, or throw in the towel and think on the best course of action for a few years.
Performance isn’t the problem. The charger/challenger are still on a Mercedes Eclass platform from the late 90s. They are dated. They handle like complete $hit. Yet they sell plenty.
When did GM already do anything over and above the ZL1?
Mustang and Charger/Challenger sell because they are specialty editions that speak to the vanity of excess power and performance.
I m still for the ICE ,yes go hydrogen instead of evs,takes too long to charge and I m not interested in the evs
Ugly, looks like a Dodge.
I understand that most people think all cars will be made eletric by 2035 but I think GM should leave the Camaro the way it looks currently and not change till then.
NO 4 DOOR CAMAROS. NEVER. EVER. EVER.
GM please do put any none funtional hood scoops or blocked off fake grille insert , electric motors and batteries need cooling too , you can use the front grille and hood scoop to cool down brake rotors , electric motor, electronics or batteries , even the ac condenser if it has one. as long as it has some kind of use it is not fake and chevy customers will be greatful.
I new electric sedan is needed. I think GM’s designers need to go back to having cars look like cars, not ugly boxes with horrible faces. I think that if GM wanted to beat Tesla at its own game, start with a large Cadillac sedan priced below the S, a mid-sized sedan priced below the 3 and put a nicer looking face on them, instead of what the Lyriq will have. Once GM has made a little money with the Cadillac sedans, make Chevy and Buick models. Modernize the look of past models, not just put a bunch of horizontal and vertical lines together.
We don’t want electric cars.keep us happy. Long live clean ice performance cars. I love my zl1. We need a gen seven version.
I said it in a post over a year or two ago and I’ll say it again… it’s gonna be a chEVelle.
Just my opinion…I think a 4 door sedan would sell a lot better than a 2 door coupe because for example, like myself there are other moms out there I’m sure who would love to drive a fast car but still be able to haul around our kids in it. I think the Charger sells so well because there are people who are my age who would like to have a stylish fast looking car but they have kids to take to baseball practice? I don’t mean to offend but honestly, I don’t want to be an old geezer by the time I get to drive a Camaro. I love the idea of it being a 4 door! If I could speak to Chevy directly, I would tell them make a 2 door and 4 door option? Make a gas and electric option. It would open up the door to a new customer base. I like the older rendering article I read by Jonathan Lopez and I thought the rendering he did of the Camaro as a 4 door was beautiful. I have wanted a Camaro since I seen it on the very first Transformers movie, which honestly is where it picked up so much popularity. I was in middle school then. I am now almost 30 years old with 3 kids and a steady successful job and I am very much able to get one now but it wouldn’t be very practical with 3 kids? People who get Camaros are either really young or really old. What about the people in the middle? You know that a young man driving a Camaro would have to give his up as soon as he had a baby because putting a carseat in a 2 door coupe is a pain in the ass. Same with Women, if they get married & have kids they have to give up their Camaro too because they need a 4 door car for their kids? So please if anyone who is important & works with Chevy, reads my comment please consider the 4 door option.
I’m telling you, it would sell!!!
El camaro siempre fue y será una copia, que bueno que intenten ser originales y buscar otro mercado yo los apoyo, tal vez ahí puedan vender más autos para otro sector de consumidores
Don’t know what you guys at gm trying to cook up, but can there be an electric car with the usual camaro body and 2 doors?
Too many doors, Camaro’s weren’t meant to have 4 doors. Guess it don’t matter, not into EVs……..
I waited 12 months for a Lyriq and gave up. Why should we think you will do any better with a Camero. Whatever you do it needs to have a lot of ground clearance so older enthusiasts can get in and out of it.
One thing for someone to “electively” choose to buy an electric vehicle but to try to force feed someone into something they don’t wan’t is something entirely different. It is akin to making a little child eat asparagus when they just mastered the taste of veal. Last I looked Americans lived in a free country but by the looks of things lately there are an elite gang of “investors” doing their best to make it a crime to maintain free choice. If you care to see where this push is coming from, look no fuerther than a campaign contributor who stands to gain billions from this heinous scam. If you truly want to cut down pollution in the USA you might seriously protect our borders from the polluting invasion.
