2024 Chevrolet Camaro Powertrain 9/10
For its final year of production, Chevrolet has removed the four-cylinder engine from the lineup so the base Camaro gets a V6. It makes 335 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque. Buyers can pair it with a 10-speed automatic or a six-speed manual gearbox. It’ll get up to 18 mpg in the city and 29 on the highway.
Those figures diminish to just 16 mpg and 26 mpg respectively for the middle-tier engine, a 6.2-liter V8 with 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard with the six-speed manual, but the same 10-speed automatic is available as an option. This engine is from the same family of V8s that Chevrolet uses in cars like the Tahoe, Suburban, and more. It’s tried and true and very smooth.
Finally, the Camaro ZL1 comes exclusively with a supercharged version of the 6.2-liter V8. It makes 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. It also comes standard with Brembo brakes, a hardcore performance suspension setup, summer tires, Recaro bucket seats, and an electronic limited-slip differential. Other Camaros might not be as quick but none of them are boring to drive.
Across the lineup, this car is fun, playful, powerful, and engaging to drive. The steering and pedal feedback is communicative and linear. It’s also free of the slop that the now-dead Dodge Challenger often suffered from. There is one slight issue to talk about though and its visibility. The rear-ward blind spots in the Camaro are seriously rough. This problem is completely solvable by using the SAE wing-mirror positioning setup though so don’t let this issue get you down.
2024 Chevrolet Camaro Interior 7.5/10
Every Camaro comes with a modernized take on what retro styling might look like in today’s world. The gauge cluster features analog gauges with a small driver information screen in the middle. The dash is super simple with big climate vents in the center and on the ends. The infotainment system is somewhat small and less in your face than it is in rival cars. The seating is comfortable and supportive but somewhat limited in terms of adjustability.
Overall, the experience in the front seats of the Camaro is one that we wouldn’t enjoy so much if not for the excellent drivetrain and vehicle dynamics. The switchgear looks and feels cheap too. The rear seats are only suitable for children. Trying to stuff an adult back there will prove almost impossible. The cargo area in the trunk is tiny too. It measures just nine cubic feet, which is less than the Mustang and the outgoing Challenger.
2024 Chevrolet Camaro Technology Features 7.5/10
Finally, when it comes to tech, the Camaro under-delivers too. The standard 7-inch infotainment system is fine, and the 8-inch unit is a touch better since there’s more real estate but neither is wildly impressive. The user interface is easy to navigate and logically laid out though. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both standard across the entire range as are at least six speakers.
On the plus side, the Camaro is available with a couple of options that we really like. First, Chevrolet offers a heads-up display which was never available on the Challenger and isn’t on the Mustang. Second, a performance data recorder is also available with telemetry that helps drivers get faster on the racetrack.
Finally, the Camaro is seriously lacking in terms of safety equipment. It doesn’t come with very much at all. Buyers must pay extra to get forward collision warning, blind-spot warning, rear-parking sensors, and cross-traffic alert.
The safety concerns don’t end with the lack of available and standard safety tech. While the Camaro did score five stars in NHTSA crash testing, it hasn’t won any awards from the IIHS. At the same time, it received a “Poor” rating from the firm when it came to front crash prevention. We’ve said it before and will say it again. Cars should come standard with just about every available driver safety aid available at the time. That tech saves lives and demonstrates automaker’s concern for their customers.

2024 Chevrolet Camaro Overall Value 8/10
Of all the available trim options, the 2SS is likely the best value. It comes with the main V8, upgraded performance goodies like adaptive dampers and big brakes, and it starts at a shade under $50,000. That’s most of the performance of a Ford Mustang Dark Horse for tens of thousands less. Sadly, the warranty package on the Camaro is about as basic as it gets. Three years of limited warranty coverage and five years of powertrain coverage. A single maintenance visit is complimentary.

Now that Dodge has killed the Challenger, the Camaro is the only competition for the Ford Mustang. Of course, it’s going the way of the dodo too and that’s just sad. The Mustang will be around for several more years and the Camaro is worthy of a successor too. It’s fun to drive, it’s responsive, it’s fast, and it’s super sharp in the bends. Sure, the top-trimmed ZL1 is very expensive but it’s also very special.
All of that said, we’re sad to see this car go despite its flaws. Chevrolet would’ve done well to introduce a new generation of this car but alas, it is no more for now. An updated car would’ve had slightly better visibility, more technology, and a refined interior. At the same time, the Challenger never needed those things and it sold just fine.
