Chevrolet announced a V8‑powered Camaro sedan arriving in 2029, featuring a 6.2‑liter engine with 455 hp, four‑door styling, and a spacious cabin, set to shake up the midsize luxury market.
Chevrolet unveiled plans for a V‑8‑powered Camaro sedan slated for 2029, promising a high‑performance option that could reshape the midsize luxury market.
Company spokesperson Lisa Grant said the vehicle will retain the Camaro’s iconic front fascia while adding a four‑door layout and a spacious cabin. The powertrain will feature a 6.2‑liter V‑8 delivering 455 horsepower and 460 lb‑ft of torque, paired with an eight‑speed automatic transmission.
Design and performance
Engineers are targeting a 0‑60 mph time under 4.5 seconds, a figure that matches the two‑door coupe’s quickest variants. Grant noted that the sedan will incorporate adaptive suspension, carbon‑ceramic brakes and an upgraded infotainment system with over‑the‑air updates.
Pricing and availability
Chevrolet confirmed a base price of $68,900, positioning the model above the current Camaro SS but below rival German sport sedans. Production will begin at the Lansing, Michigan plant, with first deliveries expected in the fourth quarter of 2029.
Dealers will accept pre‑orders starting early 2028, and the company plans to limit the initial rollout to the United States, Canada and select European markets.
Industry reaction
Analyst Mark Daniels of AutoInsights wrote that the V‑8 sedan could attract buyers who crave muscle car heritage without sacrificing practicality. "If Chevrolet can deliver on the promised performance while keeping interior quality competitive, the model may carve out a niche that has been vacant for years," Daniels said.
Competing manufacturers have not commented on the announcement. However, a spokesperson for Ford declined to comment when asked about potential responses.
Potential impact on the market
The move follows a broader industry trend of reviving performance sedans that combine power and utility. If demand meets expectations, Chevrolet could see a boost in its profit margins for the 2029 fiscal year.
