2023 CAMARO LS & LT

The 2023 Camaro is an American pony car that competes with vehicles like the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger. It’s known for its superb engine that delivers decent power levels and stunning looks that combine aerodynamics with style.

While the top trim levels promise to deliver Camaros with big V8 engines, they’re a bit pricey. A ZL1 can cost up to $70,000, especially if it’s kitted for optimal track performance with an extra package.

However, if you’re interested in a Camaro that still gives you the thrill of driving a pony but at a budget, then the LS and LT trims are your go-to trim levels.

How Fuel-Efficient Is the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro 1LS?

The fuel economy of the 2023 Camaro is dependent on the vehicle’s engine capacity. For example, V8 and V6 engine versions of the Camaro won’t have as good fuel economy as the 2L turbo engines.
