“It rides smooth, even at 135+ mph. It feels luxury, but has the power to make it fun. It makes me want to go out just to drive.”
2017 Chevrolet SS: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important news for the 2017 Chevrolet SS is that it is the final model year before the car leaves the U.S. market. It is otherwise a carryover, with no major mechanical, styling, safety, or technology changes from 2016.
About the 2017 Chevrolet SS
First and only U.S.-market Chevrolet SS generation (2014-2017), final year after the 2016 refresh.
Chevrolet positions the SS as a subtle but serious V8 sport sedan: big naturally aspirated power, rear-wheel drive, room for five, and a long list of standard comfort and safety features. It targets buyers who want strong straight-line pace and balanced handling without giving up four doors and a usable back seat. What sets it apart is how much performance hardware and everyday equipment Chevrolet bundled into one understated sedan instead of spreading it across multiple trims.
The 2017 SS is a discreet four-door performance sedan with a roomy, well-equipped cabin. Its single trim pairs a 415-hp 6.2-liter V8 and rear-wheel drive with a manual or automatic transmission, adaptive suspension, Brembo brakes, heated and ventilated front seats, built-in navigation, and several driver-assistance features.

2017 Chevrolet SS
(292 reviews)
“I would tell them to seize the day and get one while they still can. I would tell them that it is as good or better than an BMW on the road in performance and has most of it's luxury at a fraction of the price. It's fun, it's rare, it's a dying breed... and I'll never regret having bought one.”
“Sweet ride, fast, sexy love the look and options it has. The only things I would consider Is less blind spots, and a little more room in back. I know it's a insurance thing but think you would get more buyers if there was more leg room.”
