Regardless of engine, the 2020 Camaro is the best-driving muscle car of its segment, edging out more expensive sports cars when it comes to behind-the-wheel thrills. Poor outward visibility and a tiny trunk limit its practicality as a daily driver. If you can live with these downsides, you'll be rewarded every time you drive it. If not, the Mustang and the Challenger deliver similar thrills with fewer flaws.

Some may argue that performance is everything when it comes to muscle cars, but we contend that everyday convenience also plays a part. In this arena, the Camaro falls well short. First and foremost, outward visibility is terrible, leaving a lot of guesswork in almost any driving condition. The rear seats are tiny, but that's somewhat forgivable for the class. The infotainment interface can be awkward to use, and many safety features and driver assistants are either options or not included.
If you're one of those shoppers who places performance above all else, the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro is an ideal pick. But for those who need more livability and convenience, we suggest checking out the Dodge Challenger and the Ford Mustang before fully committing.

out of 10
We drove the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
9/10
How does the Camaro drive? This Camaro is a strong performer that blends speed with precision and enjoyment in a way that previous Camaros never did. The V8 is stout, and our choice if you want the full muscle-car experience, but even the V6 and four-cylinder are punchy. Most models will out-drag an equivalent Mustang by a slight margin, and the brakes are up to the task of getting it stopped in a hurry.
Handling feels more precise with the smaller and lighter engines, but the V8 with its stickier tires exhibits higher limits. The manual transmissions have great positive gates, and rev-matching ensures downshifts that are as good as a pro racer's.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Camaro? The base suspension delivers a supple ride. The optional Magnetic Ride Control suspension (V8 only) is more capable over a variety of surfaces. The ride quality is very good considering the Camaro's mission. All engines are quiet cruisers, but only the V8 sounds good when driven hard.
The well-shaped front seatbacks offer good lateral support without being confining, but the bottom cushion felt tight to some. We also like its effectively padded door and center armrests. Unsurprisingly, the back seat is cramped even for short drives. The climate control center vents are oddly placed in front of the shift lever where they excel at freezing or heating your hand while cruising.

The climate control center vents are oddly placed in front of the shift lever where they excel at freezing or heating your hand while cruising.
Interior
6.5/10
How’s the interior? Visibility remains a big concern, and it makes the Camaro harder to operate and park in tight places than it should be. Surprisingly, the view forward and the view to the sides are even bigger problems. It's very hard to place the Camaro on tight roads (watch that rock wall!) or in tight spots (watch that shopping cart!). Shorter passengers can't see over the dashboard.
Interior controls are arranged in an unusual way that comes with a surmountable learning curve. The forward half of the interior feels large provided you don't opt for the sunroof. In back, people of average height won't find much space, especially if the driver is tall. In true performance coupe fashion, this back seat is for kids only.

In back, people of average height won't find much space, especially if the driver is tall. In true performance coupe fashion, this back seat is for kids only.
Technology
7/10
How’s the tech? The Camaro is a little hit-or-miss in this category. There's a respectable level of tech features, and we like the infotainment system's quick reactions and modern aesthetic, but the screen is oddly angled on the dash. The base touchscreen is also on the small side, which is one reason to upgrade to the larger one that comes with navigation.
When it comes to active safety, the Camaro feels a decade behind due to meager options and absence of collision intervention and mitigation equipment. You must upgrade to higher trims for rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring and a rear cross-traffic alert system — things it sorely needs due to its terrible rear visibility.

Storage
5/10
How’s the storage? At 9.1 cubic feet, the Camaro's trunk has not only the smallest volume in the segment, but it also has a tiny opening and a high liftover height. If you ever wondered why tourists who rent Camaro convertibles put their suitcases in the back seat, this is why.
Interior storage is minimal. The door pockets and under-armrest bin are tiny. At least the cupholders are of a fair size and mostly out of the way during shifting. And although the back seat may be useless for adults, it does allow for extra interior storage.

Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA rates the V6 automatic at 22 mpg combined (19 city/29 highway), the V8 automatic at 20 mpg combined (16 city/27 highway), and the four-cylinder automatic at 25 mpg combined (22 city/31 highway) rating. These figures are similar to other muscle cars.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Camaro a good value? The strong performance value really trumps all else here. The Camaro is the best driver's car of its type. There are some hard plastics that seem out of place in an otherwise pleasant interior. That said, the construction and assembly are strong with no creaks or squeaks.
From its mid-$20,000 base price to the well-equipped versions we tested (mid-$40,000s), the Camaro costs about the same as the Mustang. Features for the dollar are comparable too, be it the track packages or exterior styling upgrades, but performance is squarely in the Camaro's favor.

Wildcard
9/10
The Camaro delivers a surprisingly cohesive and involving driving experience that competes at a class above. The V8's sound is compelling and the tremendous thrust addictive. Handling with the V6 and four-cylinder models is honest and lithe, but the sound from either engine is hard to like.
Exuberantly styled, this low-slung coupe grabs attention, which may or may not be to everyone's liking. The potent V8 gives LT1 and SS owners bragging rights, but the V6 and four-cylinder also have boisterous personalities. Sort of a cartoon superhero.

2020 Chevrolet Camaro trim level differences
The 2020 Chevrolet Camaro is available as a four-seat coupe or convertible, with 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, LT1, 1SS, 2SS and ZL1 trim levels. The LS and LT models come standard with a turbocharged four-cylinder; a V6 is available. The LT1 and SS models have a V8, and the ZL1 has a supercharged V8. The 1, 2, 3 designations represent levels of equipment, but there are several optional packages and stand-alone items to help you customize your ideal Camaro. Compare the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro trim levels in-depth.
Which Camaro trim does Edmunds recommend?
For the true muscle-car experience, we contend that it has to have a V8 engine. Thankfully, there's a new LT1 model that represents the least expensive way to get there. It's appointed similarly to the V6-powered 1LT trim but costs $3,000 less than the 1SS. To that, we suggest adding the optional Technology package to get the larger touchscreen.

2019 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl S/C 6M)
Wow, what a car! Best bang for the buck. Great interior even if somewhat limited visibility. The '19 model makes up for that with the review camera/mirror feature though.
Awesome power and it puts it down to the ground without being as sinister and scary as the Corvette.
Can't go wrong with this car.

2019 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl S/C 6M)
I have been a Corvette lover for years. I have owned 2. Was ready to upgrade to the Z06 so I started shopping. It took me about 3 hours to make a decision between the Corvette and the Camaro ZL1. I ended up with the ZL1. No regrets. After driving both the Camaro has awesome speed and is much easier to get in and out of. Don't hesitate to make this purchase. Even now when I see a … Corvette on the road I don't second guess my decision. The car I got also had an upgraded AWE exhaust and a ROTO FAB cold air intake. It is running close to 670-680 HP. LOVE THIS CAR!!!!

2020 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
A quick note before I begin, I have the 1SS 1LE trim level Camaro, which is not available on the dropdown menu to set up a customer review.
I have driven a pretty broad variety of sportscars in Europe and now in the U.S. The car I traded in for this Camaro is a 2008 Corvette base which had pretty extensive suspension modifications which I raced in autocross and track events across … Western Europe. And even with the heavy modifications to the Corvette, the 1LE Camaro is decisively better. It corners harder, feels crisper and communicates to the driver better than my old Corvette, and in fact better than just about anything I have ever driven. The powerplant is great, but has a minor problem with electronic throttle lag. It feels as if the power comes on just a little behind the throttle input. My old LS3 never had this issue, with immediate power delivery on throttle input. Its not really annoying, but until I got used to it, I revved a bit high when throttle blipping to begin driving in first gear. The engine otherwise is fantastic, with great torque across a wide RPM band.
Visibility is really as poor as the professional reviewer noted, and could have been a far less major inconvenience with technological aids which are becoming standard across a wide band of the new car market. Why this defect was not amended as part of the design process is beyond me. Still, with vigilance and practice, this problem can be minimized. Nonetheless, I deducted one star for this issue.
Overall, I am immensely satisfied with this car, minor quibbles aside. The world class handling this car is capable of pays for all.
A refined BEAST! Camaro 1SS A10
5 out of 5 starsHowie, 07/10/2019
2019 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
Update-Have owned this care for 15 months now. Only average about 6K mi/yr since I work from home. Runs as good as new. The seat comfort is quite impressive. I'd say the stock cloth seats are more comfortable than many sedans. I drove my Mom's 2019 for 3 months while visiting and while it was comfortable, the seats in the Camaro were better cushioned.
Gas mileage in mixed driving … is not good 16-17 calculated by hand and I have a little bit of dash rattle/crinkle sound but drive with the windows down mostly so don't notice it much. Other than that, this car is a nasty animal that can be driven tamely and comfortably. It also sounds insane. I personally love the simple interior.
Why Edmunds can't have the correct trim in the drop-down menu is pure laziness on their part. There is no choice for A10, only 6M.
Got my '19 1SS for $33,090 before tax/lic due to dealer discounts and I had a Mustang GT so got a $2500 rebate with that as well.
The performance of this car is incredible even if I paid $50K. The A10 shifts really quick and is super smooth and rarely ever hunts for gears. It's a blast with the paddles, manual shifting or just put in D and keep it S mode or T on the freeway if you want.
Mine is all stock except for a Borla s-type catback. It sounds soooooo good without being overly loud or obnoxious. I think the car looks awesome too with the stock 20s and staggered tires.
Full power seat, apple car-play standard are big pluses. Handling and power are on another level. Comfort is very good. Only negative is visiblity which is mostly a hindrance at low speeds around islands in parking lots b/c of the high door sills. Otherwise on the road, hardly ever an issue for me.
Gas mileage of course isn't good but hwy can be almost 30 when just cruising in 4cyl mode. I average 17.5 overall.
If you want a car that drives/performs well above its price point and sounds like complete beast doing it, look no further.
