Earlier this year, there were reports that the entire 2017 Chevrolet Camaro lineup would see a price hike, but more recently, there have been reports that the 2017 models actually cost less or the prices haven’t changed from one model year to the next. The addition of the 1LS package as the new base model have spurred new reports insisting that the 2017 models cost less or the same, but in a comparison of the official pricing on Chevrolet.com, I found that all of the convertibles are less expensive while most of the coupes cost more for 2017.
2016 and 2017 Camaro Coupe Prices
For the 2016 model year, the “entry level” Camaro was the 1LT with the manual transmission and the 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. According to Chevrolet.com, before any incentives, that 2016 Camaro 1LT with the manual transmission had an MSRP of $26,695 (all prices discussed here include the same $995 destination fee). The 2017 Camaro 1LS with the turbo 4 and the manual transmission has an MSRP of $26,900 – making the 2017 Camaro entry level model $205 more.
It should be noted that with the applicable incentives, the 2016 Camaro 1LT with the manual transmission can cost less than the 2017 model, but based purely on MSRP without discounts, the 2017 1LS costs a little more. The same is true for the 2016 Camaro 1LT with the V6 and manual transmission compared to the Camaro with those same parts for 2017, as the 1LS V6 costs $205 more for the new model year.
On the other hand, the 2017 Camaro coupe 1LT with the automatic transmission and either of the LT engines (turbo 4, V6) are $595 less than the comparable 2016 Camaro, but the rest of the 2017 hardtop Camaros – including the 2LT with either engine, the 1SS and the 2SS – are all $605 more expensive for the new model year.
In short, if you plan to buy a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LT with the automatic transmission and either the turbocharged 4-cylinder or the V6, you will pay less than you would have for a 2016 model. If you plan to buy a 1LS, a 2LT or either of the SS models, you will be paying more for a 2017 model.

2017 Camaro Convertible Prices
