Is a Chevy Camaro EV SUV Blasphemy? Maybe, but It Might Look Like This
The Chevy Camaro lineup will likely add an electric SUV version someday, and it could look similar to our illustration.
The odds of a future Camaro EV SUV increased after reports say GM will create subbrands for its high-value nameplates.
While our rendering is partly inspired by the Chevy Blazer EV, its two-door body style is one notable Camaro tie-in.
There’s a good chance Chevy will slap a Camaro badge on an electric SUV within the next few years. We’re not just pulling that out of our you-know-whats, either. Following reports of an upcoming Chevy Corvette subbrand, we’ve heard that GM is planning other spinoffs of popular nameplates in its sizable portfolio, including Chevrolet’s iconic pony car, the Camaro.
If you’re upset the Camaro is likely taking the same route the Mustang took with the Mach-E, we’re sorry. Please direct your outrage to the comment section below or send angry letters to our editor. However, if the thought of a Camaro EV SUV—possibly called E/28?—excites you, our rendering predicts what that machine might look like.
Unlike the Mustang Mach-E, the lifted electric Camaro in our illustration doesn’t have many obvious ties to the current coupe and convertible. Arguably the biggest similarity is its two-door body style, which an inside source at GM told us is definitely under consideration for a possible crossover model, along with a more traditional four-door configuration.
The two-door version in our rendering also shares a rear quarter window that kicks up just like on the regular Camaro, and their shoulder lines are similar, too. The side surfacing also looks a lot cleaner than the Blazer’s busy bodywork. A set of massive 10-spoke rims mounted on Continental tires nicely fill out the ute’s wheel arches, and the whole aesthetic combines for a sporty stance.
Meanwhile, the hypothetical Camaro’s mug draws heavily from the design of the upcoming Chevy Blazer EV. The elements around the headlights do draw comparisons with the LED accents around the current-gen Camaro, but the rest of its face is considerably different.
