This will be available only on ZL1 and SS.
The Chevrolet Camaro is in dire straits. Although sales continue to decline year over year, the Q1 2021 sales report shows a only 1.3 percent drop. We now know that Chevy will remove the 1LE Performance package from all Camaros without a V8 engine for the 2022 model year.
The 2021 Camaros are still being produced at this time, however, the General Motors 2022 dealer order guide does not list the 1LE for four-cylinder models or the V6 models. Muscle Cars and Trucks. The package is currently available on the Camaro 1LT, 2LT and 3LT models with either the turbocharged four-cylinder engine or the 3.6-liter V6. The package is not available for the 1LS or V8-powered LT models. The Camaro SS will cost $38,495, but it will not be available in 2022. A Camaro 1LT equipped with the four-pot is $26,495.
What does the 1LE package include? It offers buyers a glimpse of the SS-style suspension bits, which are available for lower trims. This includes rear toe links, rear dampers, stabilizer bars and rear cradle mountings. Brembo four-piston front brake discs, 20-inch wheels with summer tires and an upgraded cooling system are all part of the package. V6 models can also get dual-mode exhaust. These extras cost $4,500 and add a lot of fun to the lower-range Camaro. They will be for 2021. Beyond that, more fun means more horsepower and more money.
Although the report does not identify any specific reasons for the decision, it is easy to combine two or more. Camaro sales reached their peak in 2012, with 91,314 units sold. Then, in 2013, there was a significant drop to 80.294 before it recovered some ground in 2014. It is now at 86.291. The Camaro sales have been steadily declining for six years, with only 29,775 units sold last year. While the Camaro can withstand 2026, a new-generation model is unlikely to be available.
