Chevrolet Camaro production to end in 2024, electric performance sedan to replace it in 2025 – report

Chevrolet’s Ford Mustang rival will bow out by mid-decade, with a new electric four-door to take its place, likely wearing a different nameplate.


Production of the Chevrolet Camaro sports car will end in 2024, according to new reports – and its indirect successor could take a very different approach.

Industry publication Automotive News reports the final sixth-generation Camaro will roll off Chevrolet’s production line in Lansing, Michigan in 2024 – one year later than reports from 2019 initially suggested.

There won’t be a seventh-generation successor – instead, the sports car’s place in the American brand’s range will be filled by a new “electric performance sedan”, due in 2025.

No further details of the electric model are given, though it’s likely it will employ the latest-generation 'Ultium' batteries developed by parent company General Motors, and employ a rear- or all-wheel-drive layout to deliver a sporty driving experience.

Past reports – including a June 2021 story from online outlet GM Authority – indicate production could be extended to 2026, though the online report stresses the Camaro’s end date is “fluid”.

Australia won’t be affected by the end of Camaro production, given local conversions of the model to right-hand drive by the former Holden Special Vehicles brand ceased in 2020 – though some continue to speculate that the two-door’s entry into Supercars racing from 2022 could open the door to a production return.

General Motors has confirmed plans to invest around $37 billion into electric and autonomous vehicle development by 2025, with 30 new electric vehicles to be introduced by that time.

The electric performance sedan will be joined by electric versions of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pick-ups in the US in 2023, according to Automotive News, alongside three new electric SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC in 2023 or 2024.

There’s also said to be a new electric performance SUV from Chevrolet in 2025, as a rival for the Ford Mustang Mach-E electric SUV – one that could potentially fall under an expanded Corvette sub-brand, according to reports.

However, the arrival of the new models will see a range of existing US-market General Motors models be killed off, from the Spark city car in 2022, to the Malibu mid-size sedan in 2025 – leaving the new electric sedan and the Corvette super-sports car as Chevrolet’s sole remaining passenger cars.

The mystery Camaro replacement won’t be the only electric performance car on sale in 2025, as US muscle-car specialist Dodge recently confirmed plans for an electric muscle car in 2024 – slated to be a four-door sedan capable of a two-second 0-100km/h sprint time, and 800km of range.
