Question 1

What versions and engines does the 2022 Camaro offer in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Camaro is available in Canada in 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, 1SS, 2SS, and ZL1 trims, in coupe and convertible configurations. Three powertrains are offered: the turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder producing 275 hp (1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT), the 3.6L V6 producing 335 hp (LT trims with RS package), and the 6.2L V8 LT1 producing 455 hp (SS). The ZL1 uses a supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 producing 650 hp. Prices start around $28,998 CAD for the 1LS with the turbocharged 4-cylinder, with the SS starting around $47,498 and the ZL1 around $77,998. A 6-speed manual transmission is available on several trims, while the 10-speed automatic is the option on SS and ZL1 versions.

Question 2

Can the 2022 Camaro SS be used as a daily driver in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Camaro SS can serve as a daily driver, but with significant compromises for the Canadian context. Rear visibility is severely limited due to the sloping roofline and thick C-pillars — the standard backup camera is therefore essential. The low ground clearance of approximately 113 mm is problematic on unplowed roads or the speed bumps common in Quebec and Ontario cities. The rear seats barely accommodate adults of average height. On the winter comfort side, the standard GM remote start facilitates prewarming. With a separate set of winter tires — recommended for any sports car in Canada — and adapted driving, the Camaro SS can handle daily commutes from November to March, but it remains primarily a seasonal pleasure vehicle.

Question 3

What is the resale value of the 2022 Camaro in Canada and is it a good investment?

Accepted Answer

The resale value of the 2022 Camaro is moderate in the sports car segment. In general, V8 SS and ZL1 versions retain their value better than 4-cylinder versions, partly due to their stronger emotional appeal. After three years, a well-maintained 2022 Camaro SS can retain approximately 55-65% of its purchase value depending on mileage and Canadian market conditions. GM's decision to discontinue the Camaro after 2024 could eventually support the value of the final model years, though the effect is difficult to quantify in the short term. For a buyer who wants to enjoy the car and minimize losses, purchasing a used unit a few years old will represent a better financial proposition than buying new.
