2020 Chevrolet Camaro: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The big news for the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro is the new LT1 trim, which puts the SS model's 455-hp 6.2-liter V8 into a simpler LT-based package. This is a focused lineup update, not a redesign.
About the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro
6th generation Camaro (2016-2024), second year after the 2019 refresh and the debut year for the LT1 trim.
Chevrolet positions the Camaro as a true driver's car with a broad range of personalities, from a turbo four-cylinder coupe to a supercharged ZL1. The core message is "performance without pretense": sharp rear-drive handling, a low seating position, bold styling, and real step-up hardware as you move through the range. Compared with rivals, Camaro's identity leans more toward sports-car-like road feel and chassis precision, not just straight-line muscle.
The 2020 lineup runs from the 275-hp turbo LS and comfort-focused LT family to the V8-powered LT1 and SS. The LT1 emphasizes V8 punch with fewer extras, while the SS adds more complete performance hardware and an 8-inch touchscreen. At the top, the ZL1 combines a 650-hp supercharged V8, adaptive suspension, Brembo brakes, and RECARO front seats.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The new LT1 trim pairs a simpler LT-based package with the SS model's 455-hp 6.2-liter V8. V6-powered LT models also replace the previous 8-speed automatic transmission with a 10-speed automatic.
Styling
The SS gets a revised front end. The Chevrolet bowtie moves back to the upper grille, and the center bar changes to body color.
Tech
Remote start becomes optional rather than standard across the lineup.
