The Next Camaro Reportedly Slips to 2029 — Four Doors, Rear-Drive, and a Stick
GM Authority says the seventh-generation car has moved to the 2029 model year on an updated Alpha architecture, built where the last one was. Chevrolet has confirmed none of it.
The next Chevrolet Camaro has reportedly moved again. GM Authority, citing sources close to the automaker, says the seventh-generation car will now arrive as a 2029 model rather than the 2028 model year previously reported — a slip of roughly a year on a nameplate that has already been out of production since 2023.
The more consequential part of the report is not the date. It is the body. The car is said to be arriving with four doors and mid-size proportions, closer in footprint to a Malibu or the old Chevrolet SS than to the two-door coupe or convertible every Camaro has been since the car went on sale for the 1967 model year. If that holds, it would be the first four-door car to wear the badge.
Underneath, the report puts it on an updated version of GM's Alpha rear-wheel-drive architecture — the same platform expected to carry the next Cadillac CT5 and a Buick sedan. Power is said to stay internal combustion rather than electric, drive stays rear-biased, and a manual transmission is reportedly still on the table. Production would go back to the Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan, the same line that built the sixth-generation car.
Every bit of that is unofficial. Chevrolet has not confirmed the timing, the body style, the platform or the powertrain, and the outlets carrying the story have been explicit that it should be read as a report rather than an announcement. The body style in particular is the piece with the least corroboration around it.
What is confirmed is the gap the new car has to bridge. GM announced in March 2023 that the Camaro would retire at the end of the 2024 model year, and the last sixth-generation coupe came off the line at Lansing Grand River on December 14, 2023, closing a run that had started there on October 26, 2015. If the 2029 timing is right, the nameplate will have sat out roughly five model years.
That is a long time to hold a badge in reserve, and it explains why the four-door detail keeps drawing more attention than the delay does. A Camaro that shares a plant, a platform and a powertrain philosophy with its predecessor is a continuation. A Camaro with two extra doors is an argument — and it is one Chevrolet has not yet made in public.
