The 2020 Chevrolet Camaro lineup gets a few changes, including a new affordable V-8 model called the Camaro LT1 V-8 and revised front-end styling for the SS. The V-6 model now offers a 10-speed automatic transmission as an option, replacing the previous eight-speed. The updated Camaro, which also offers new colors and a few new features, goes on sale this fall. After a controversial refresh for 2019, Chevrolet has revised the Camaro SS's front-end styling for 2020, repositioning the bow-tie emblem and making the bumper insert body color. But that's not even the most exciting of the changes Chevrolet is introducing for 2020: a new, affordable model called the LT1 offers the burly 6.2-liter V-8 engine, previously offered only in the SS, at a lower price point. The Camaro LT1 starts at $34,995, a $3000 drop compared to the current 2019 Camaro's cheapest V-8 model, the 1SS, which starts at $37,995. It also just undercuts the cheapest V-8–powered Ford Mustang, the $36,450 GT. The Camaro LT1 is essentially the same as the Camaro's 1LT trim level, but with the 455-hp V-8 stuck under the hood. It also gets LT1 fender badges, the vented hood from the SS, and black bow-tie emblems. A lesser wheel and tire package, with 20-inch wheels wrapped in all-season tires that are the same size all around, ensures that the LT1 won't upset the performance hierarchy, as the SS still reigns supreme with its more aggressive, staggered-width summer tires. Chevrolet V-6 Camaros benefit from a new 10-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the old eight-speed (a six-speed manual remains standard). The base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder sticks with a standard six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic, while V-8 models offer the six-speed manual or the 10-speed automatic. Other changes for the 2020 Camaro include a new Rally Green exterior color and several rejiggered features and options. To list a few examples, the Recaro seats that used to be exclusive to the 1LE performance package are now available on the LT model, the rear spoiler that used to be only on the RS package can now be had on the LS and LT, and red seatbelts can now be optioned on all trim levels. Chevrolet hasn't yet announced pricing for the full 2020 Camaro, but we expect to hear more over the next few months before it goes on sale this fall. This content is imported from {embed-name}.

The sports car got a refresh for 2019 that featured a distinctive black grille and bumper combination that was met with mixed reviews and may have contributed to a sales decline that’s seen the Camaro fall behind the Dodge Challenger into third place among muscle cars in recent months. It’s nothing a little makeup couldn’t fix, though, so last fall Chevy tried out a new look on a concept Camaro promoting its Shock green paint option, which featured a body colored bumper and bowtie logo shifted off it to the upper grille. The style is already being sported by the NASCAR Camaro SS Xfinity series cars and will now be adopted by the 2020 production model when it goes on sale this fall. CHEVY'S ELECTRIC CAMARO CAN DO WHEELIES “Customers spoke, and we listened,” Chevy marketing director Steve Majoros said in a press release announcing the update. “The overwhelmingly positive reaction to the Shock’s stylized design helped prompt its transition from concept to production.” Chevy is also introducing a new entry-level V8 Camaro trim level called the LT1, which at $34,995 will cost $3,000 less than the current SS. It combines the low-key styling of the four-cylinder and six-cylinder LT models with a 455 hp 6.2-liter engine, 20-inch wheels and a vented hood.

Just over 12 months ago Chevy revealed the mid-cycle refresh of the 6th-gen Camaro for the 2019 model year . It didn't exactly go over well with everyone, with problem number one being the massive black maw the SS was sporting. So now it gets what we'll call an emergency facelift.After what we can assume is a whole lot of negative feedback, Chevy has eliminated the grille-splitting black bar by painting it in the car's body color. It also moved the bowtie to the upper section of the grille, instead of plastering it on the now painted bar like it was before. Nearly everything else looks the same as the 2019 facelift, so it looks like the "fix" didn't take much re-working. Check out the difference for yourself. The 2019 is on the left, the new 2020 on the right.Of course, Chevy is spinning this by saying it's just transferring the "concept" nose from the company's SEMA show car onto the production car. We saw reports that said this was coming, so it doesn't come as a big surprise. Steve Majoros, director of Chevy passenger car and crossover marketing, said "customers spoke, and we listened." Chevy did listen, and the result is a much more agreeable front end design.Big changes like this to a freshly redesigned car happen every now and then. Earlier this decade, the 2012 Honda Civic had its own mini disaster that was quickly remedied for 2013.There are a few other bits to take note of for the 2020 Camaro lineup. One is the addition of a new base V8 trim Chevy calls the LT1 model. It comes in cheap at only $34,995 including destination charges — that's $3,000 cheaper than the current base 1SS. This trim gets rid of the staggered summer tires previously standard on the SS in favor of 20-inch x 8.5-inch wheels at all four corners wrapped in all season rubber. You also get LT1 badges on the fenders to denote the trim level.Finally, Chevy now pairs the 3.6-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic instead of the older 8-speed auto. Chevy says it's based on the 10-speed in the SS and ZL1 but adapted for use in the V6. Some minor changes in available options are also a part of this mini update, and you'll be able to buy one early this fall.<doc-sep>The 2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS’ face. Image : Chevrolet The Chevrolet Camaro has so many faces it could be a government spy, and, because the more the better, Chevy is giving it another guise for another model year. The 2020 SS and a new LT1 performance trim will get their own new faces, which are slightly different from the myriad of Camaro faces that already exist. Advertisement Which Camaro is that, behind you at the stoplight? You may never know. Don’t say any that could get you in trouble. The 2020 Camaro LT1's face. Image : Chevrolet Chevy announced the new faces and trim for the 2020 Camaro, which will go on sale in early fall, on Thursday, with Camaro’s SS versions, above, getting a front end similar to the ones from 2019. Then, there’s the new LT1 trim that’ll get a 455-horsepower V8 and a face, pictured to the right, reminiscent of the cheapest four 2019 Camaro trims for a base MSRP of $34,995. But those statements mean nothing without memorizing the Camaro’s many faces. Via the 2019 configurator, the lowest four main trims—the 1LS, 1LT, 2LT and 3LT, which offer either a 275-HP turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a 335-HP V6 among them—have the same general look as the car on the left. The one in the middle represents the look of the 455-HP, V8 SS models, and the car on the right is the top Camaro ZL1 trim with a 650-HP V8. The Camaro 3LT (left), Camaro SS (middle) and Camaro ZL1 (right). Image : Chevrolet The new V8 LT1 trim, then, will look like the fewer-cylinder LT trims below it in the lineup, while the 2020 SS model will have a colored centerpiece on the grille instead of a black one, along with a far better positioned bowtie emblem. While the Camaro’s face is a thing of controversy these days, though, that wasn’t the only thing Chevrolet wanted to call attention to for 2020. Advertisement The announcement said for the 2020 model year, 3.6-liter V6 Camaros will now get an available 10-speed automatic transmission based on the auto offered on the Camaro SS and ZL1, and gave details on the new LT1 trim that’ll be the new cheapest V8 model in the Camaro lineup. That trim will come in both coupe and convertible options, with a 455-HP LT1 engine and a starting price of less than $35,000 including destination fees. It can have either a six-speed manual or an optional 10-speed automatic transmission. Advertisement The LT1 also comes with 20-inch all-season tires and an available touchscreen infotainment system that measures eight inches diagonally. Chevy also mentioned the 2020 model will get a Rally Green color option, not to be confused with the Highlighter Yellow currently offered, and said all models will now have available red seat belts, red kneepads and alloy pedals. Trim-specific changes are listed here. But, of course, most of us probably won’t be able to decipher all of the changes from the outside—mainly because there are as many Camaro looks these days as there are patterns of snowflakes. Perhaps that’s just part of the disguise.<doc-sep>
The current-generation Camaro debuted for the 2016 model year, but Chevrolet has made consistent updates to the pony car each year since then. The 2020 model year is no different, as this year the car receives a new transmission option for the V-6 and design updates to make up for the controversial styling changes made last year. Read on for six things you need to know about the updated 2020 Camaro that goes on sale early this fall. There's now a cheaper way to get a V-8. The new Camaro LT1 strikes a balance between the 1LT and the higher SS trim. Priced from $34,995, it is the most affordable Camaro with the 455-hp 6.2-liter V-8, coming in $3,000 lower than the 2019 Camaro 1SS. Along with the big engine, it gets the SS model's vented hood but the exterior styling otherwise mostly takes after the LT. Its 20-inch wheels are one additional exception—they're styled like those on the SS, but aren't staggered in width and are wrapped in all-season tires instead of the SS's summer performance rubber. This trim is available for both coupe and convertible models, with either a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic. The 10-speed automatic is now available on the V-6. Previously limited to available V-8 models, now Chevy is spreading the 10-cog love by making the gearbox available as an option on models with the 3.6-liter six-cylinder.

Chevrolet moved the bowtie from the front crossbar to the upper part of the grille. The bar is also now painted body color instead of black, which better reduces the visual weight of the front end. This change comes just a year after Chevrolet restyled the Camaro for 2019. It comes in green! The Mustang comes in green, so why shouldn't the Camaro? Chevrolet is now offering a Rally Green exterior color for 2020. The new addition to the color palette hearkens to the option of the same name that was available on the first-gen 'Maro. The rear spoiler and Recaros are more widely available. Previously, a rear spoiler was available only with the RS package, but it is now being offered on the LS and LT trims. Recaro performance seats, once available only on the 1LE, spread to the LT. Also, aluminum pedal caps and red seatbelts are now available on every model. See all 5 photos See all 5 photos
