The Camaro now utilizes the GM Alpha platform shared with the Cadillac ATS and CTS[13] and features MacPherson struts in front, rather than the former multi-link setup.
[5] The sixth generation of Camaro saw production return to the United States as the fourth and fifth-generation models had been assembled in Canada.
Standard equipment on all trims includes automatic air conditioning, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay,[17] parking assist, and seven airbags.
[18] For China, the car was introduced on August 31, 2016 and sold under the RS trim with the 2.0 L turbocharged LTG four-cylinder engine and 8-speed automatic gearbox available for 2017 models onwards as standard.
Both of 1LE packages offered share a satin black hood wrap, front splitter, and a three-piece rear spoiler.
It adds similar equipment to the V6 1LE, including the FE3 suspension, Brembo brakes, 20-inch forged wheels with 245/40 and 275/35 Eagle F1 tires, track cooling, and mechanical limited-slip differential.
A few of these changes included: shortening the production run for the 2024 Camaro, producing fewer units than in previous years, no longer offering fleet or government orders, and removing any GM employee discounts.
The 2SS includes some other features left out in the 1SS like interior spectrum lighting, heated steering wheel, blind-spot monitoring, Bose audio, and wireless charging.

[25] It features a lower grille opening for improved cooling, a new front splitter, and a carbon hood insert which removes hot air from the engine compartment.
[32][33] On the exterior, it includes aerodynamic components developed with wind tunnel testing to produce 300 lb (136 kg) of downforce at 150 mph (241 km/h), consisting of a new front splitter, dive planes and a rear wing.
It also features optimized grille and intake openings which allow 106 cubic feet more air per minute than the regular ZL1’s front end.
The smaller 19-inch wheels (as opposed to 20-inch on the standard ZL1) are 3.3 lb (1 kg) lighter each and feature wider Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires with a compound formulated specially for the 1LE.
[36][37] Weight was also reduced by 60 lb (27 kg) as compared to a standard ZL1 due to thinner rear-window glass, fixed rear seatback, and lighter wheels and suspension components.
In 2017, a ZL1 1LE set a lap time of 7 minutes, 16.04 seconds at the Nürburgring Nordschleife race track, driven by Bill Wise in an official test done by Chevrolet.

For 2024, GM has discontinued the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG engine and the base 1LS trim level as part of their efforts to slow down production of the Camaro.
[52] In fall 2018 (for the 2019 model year), the sixth-generation of the Camaro received a mid-cycle redesign, along with the majority of the Chevrolet car lineup (including the Spark, Cruze and Malibu), in which the front end styling was universally panned.
Chevrolet also exhibited a 2019 Camaro SS at the 2018 SEMA Show in the new Shock yellow-green exterior color, which became available in early 2019.
[55] It also featured a "concept" front end, which unlike the production version of the SS has a body-colored bumper and the Chevy "bow-tie" badge moved to the upper grille.
[56] For the 2020 model year, Chevrolet revised the front-end styling of the Camaro SS, the front bumper is now colored and the Chevy "bow-tie" has been moved to the upper grille.
The new Camaro started participating in the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, and it won on its debut in the 2018 Daytona 500 with driver Austin Dillon.
As the Camaro was discontinued after 2023 with no direct replacement, Chevrolet rebranded all Camaro-body stock cars as the "ZL1" for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

During the endurance race, the Garage 56 Camaro exceeded expectations and drew large international fanfare, for its performance and stark visual and aural contrast to the rest of the field.
