Here’s a summary of what is known and strongly rumored so far about the upcoming 2027 Chevrolet Camaro EV. Some things are confirmed by Chevrolet / GM; many are still speculative or based on media / analyst reports, so treat with caution.
What is known / more certain
Camaro nameplate is returning, in EV form — Chevrolet has confirmed that the Camaro will live on, even though the 6th-generation, V8/ICE Camaro was discontinued — last model year is 2024.
Platform — It will be based on GM’s EV architecture (formerly known under the Ultium name). This gives flexibility in battery size, motor configurations, etc.
Form / Body Style Likely an SUV / Fastback-Crossover rather than a two-door coupe — Multiple reports suggest that the new Camaro EV will be a 4-door fastback-style SUV (or crossover) instead of a traditional two-door muscle coupe.
Launch timeframe — It’s expected to go on sale in Fall 2026, though it will likely be marketed as a 2027 model.
Trim & performance variants — Entry-level trims (e.g. LT, RS) might use a single rear motor, with power in the ballpark of ~241–365 hp.
A dual-motor AWD version is expected as a mid-tier setting, possibly delivering ~300 hp and about 355 lb-ft torque.
For more performance, there may be an SS model (~615 hp, dual motor), with performance upgrades (better brakes, tuned suspension, etc.)
At the very top, there are rumors of a ZL1 variant with three motors (borrowing tech from trucks like the Hummer EV), potentially in the ~1000 hp range.
Price estimates
Based on what’s reported: entry-level versions might start around US $36,000, with higher trims going up to about $65,500 (for performance variants).
Charging / battery hints
There are expectations of different battery pack sizes, with charging speeds around 150 kW for smaller battery packs and ~190 kW for larger ones.
Emphasis on affordability + fun
GM wants the new Camaro EV to be “attainable” — keeping a base price that’s not wildly out of reach, and focusing on giving it “fun” characteristics (handling, performance) rather than just raw specs.
What is not yet confirmed / still speculative
Exact range figures (mileage per charge) haven’t been officially released.
Final battery size(s) and weight.
Detailed specs like 0-60 times, top speed, range vs price trade-offs, etc.
Whether some trims (especially the top ones) will indeed hit ~1000 hp, or whether the ZL1/SS trims will be priced so high or will be feasible in all markets.
Design details: styling, interior layout, tech features have only been mocked up / conceptual in many reports.
Whether the fastback‐SUV format is final or just among options under consideration.
Whether there’ll be non-SUV/sedan body styles (though that seems less likely).
