2014 Chevrolet SS: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The big news for 2014 was the launch of the all-new Chevrolet SS. It arrived as a rear-wheel-drive V8 sport sedan with one well-equipped U.S. trim and a strong mix of performance, comfort, and technology.
About the 2014 Chevrolet SS
1st and only U.S. generation (2014-2017), first year/all-new launch.
Chevrolet positioned the SS as a roomy, rear-wheel-drive performance sedan that mixed Corvette-style V8 power with everyday four-door usefulness. Chevrolet’s brochure leaned on "street car/race car" messaging and emphasized that the SS paired NASCAR-linked performance character with seating for five, a sizable trunk, and a full set of comfort and tech features. For most shoppers, the SS was the understated fast sedan: strong V8 sound and balance, but without the flashier styling of some rivals.
Chevrolet positioned the 2014 SS as a full-size performance sedan with racing roots and everyday usability, not as a stripped-down muscle car. Its 415-hp V8, sport-tuned suspension, limited-slip rear differential, and Brembo front brakes handled the performance side, while leather and suede-like seating, an 8-inch navigation touchscreen, Bose audio, and heated and ventilated front seats made the single trim feel fully equipped.

2014 Chevrolet SS

“I love my 2014 Camaro SS! It is a massive step up in quality and power compared to my older 94 Z28 Camaro I had back in the day. It's a beautiful car inside and out and it gets up and goes like nothing else!”
“Car is a hoot to drive. Cops ignore it because they think it is an Impala or a Malibu. The car is a real sleeper. Chevrolet is not advertising this car as a performance car. I haven't seen it in any TV campaigns. The only people wise to its potential are ''gas-heads''. It was the same with the Pontiac GTO. Another car that was a real fun drive.”
