The sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro is a pony car produced by Chevrolet that was first revealed to the public on May 16, 2015. Sales started in 2015 for the 2016 model year. The sixth generation Camaro now utilizes the GM Alpha platform shared with the Cadillac ATS and CTS and features MacPherson struts in front, rather than the former Multi-link setup. General Motors claims that 70 percent of architectural components in the new Camaro are unique to the car.
The sixth generation Camaro sees production return to the United States, the Fourth and Fifth Generation Camaro having been assembled in Canada.
Like its predecessor, the sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro is available in coupe and convertible bodystyles. Compared to the previous generation, it is 2.3 in (58 mm) shorter, 0.8 in (20 mm) less wide and 1.1 in (28 mm) shorter in height. With similar equipment and engine, it is also more than 200 lb (91 kg) lighter.
Trim levels introduced at launch include 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, and 2SS. Standard equipment on all trims includes automatic air conditioning, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering-wheel, satellite radio, parking assist and seven airbags.
A ZL1 trim level with a supercharged 6.2 L V8 will be available for the 2017 model year and will feature a lower grill opening for improved cooling, a new front splitter and a carbon hood insert which removes hot air from the engine compartment. It also features wider front fenders for improved handling, unique rockers and Magnetic Ride suspension. Transmission choices are a rev matching six-speed manual or a new 10-speed automatic.
In October, 2016, Chevrolet announced that there would be a 2017 base 1LS trim level of the Camaro that would be introduced by the end of November, 2016. Trim level content for the 1LS will be identical to that of the current base 1LT trim, with the exception that the 2.0L Turbocharged Inline Four-Cylinder (I4) engine and 6-speed manual transmission would be the only available powertrain options for the 1LS trim, and it would be available exclusively as a Coupe. Moreover, the 1LT trim now receives the 8-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles as standard equipment for 2017. Pricing for the 1LS trim will start at around $26,000. This follows the announcement that Chevrolet would be lowering prices throughout the 2017 Camaro lineup.
