JD Power’s 6th Gen Camaro Reliability Report
▼ Summary
– Production of the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro ended after the 2024 model year, and the nameplate’s future remains uncertain.
– A GM trademark filing for the Camaro name in Cambodia does not guarantee the return of the muscle car, and it could potentially become an all-electric SUV.
– The final Camaro generation received impressive reliability results from J.D. Power, increasing its chances of staying on the road longer.
– The sixth-generation Camaro topped its class in J.D. Power’s 2021 Vehicle Dependability Study and finished second in 2022.
– J.D. Power continued to analyze the Camaro’s dependability in its remaining years, with great results for the final generation.
The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro concluded its production run with the 2024 model year, leaving enthusiasts to wonder about the future of this iconic muscle car. While a General Motors trademark filing for the Camaro name surfaced in Cambodia last September, this offers no guarantee of a revival, and any potential return could follow the path of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, transforming into an all-electric crossover rather than a traditional performance coupe.
For those who appreciate the classic Camaro formula, there’s encouraging news. The final generation of the Camaro earned notably strong reliability ratings from J.D. Power, suggesting these vehicles may remain dependable and road-worthy while everyone waits to see whether, and in what form, a seventh-generation model might eventually appear. It’s worth noting, however, that J.D. Power’s widely referenced Vehicle Dependability Study provides only a partial perspective. Since the study assesses vehicles after they’ve been in owners’ hands for three years, the sixth-generation Camaro wasn’t eligible until 2019. Still, it went on to lead its segment in 2021 and secured a runner-up position in 2022.
After those years, the muscle car category appeared to drop out of the study’s published results. Even so, J.D. Power continued tracking the Camaro’s performance throughout its remaining time in production. For that final iteration, dependability remained consistently impressive, reinforcing its reputation as a well-built modern performance car.
