The fourth generation of production for the Chevrolet Camaro--the high-performance car manufactured and sold by the Chevrolet brand of General Motors--debuted in 1993 and lasted for almost a decade. Remaining virtually unchanged in its last four years, from 1998 to 2002, the Camaro was eventually discontinued largely due to the car's declining sales, as well as an increasingly anemic sports coupe market. The fourth generation Chevy Camaro symbolized the last production cycle of the vehicle before it was brought back for the 2010 model year.
Trims
The fourth generation Chevy Camaro started off with the Coupe and Z28 trims. For the 1994 model year, the convertible body style was introduced, thus creating four trims: Coupe, Z28 Coupe, Convertible and Z28 Convertible. A middling RS trim appeared in 1996 and lasted until 1998.
Engines and Transmissions
The fourth generation Camaro started off with a 3.4-liter 160-horsepower V6 engine for its Coupe trim and a 5.7-liter 275 horsepower V8 engine for its Z28 trim. By 1996, a 3.8-liter V6 was made standard in place of the 3.4-liter version, and in 1998, a new V8 engine with 30 more horses made its debut. The transmissions made available were four-speed automatic, five-speed manual and six-speed manual--all with the overdrive feature. Fuel economy is 17 to 19 miles per gallon (mpg) for city driving and 24 to 31 mpg for highway driving, depending on model year, trim, engine and type of transmission.
Interior Features
ABS braking, tilt steering, air conditioning, car stereo system, and driver and passenger airbags were standard safety features throughout the fourth generation Camaro's production run. Features, such as CD players, were introduced for the 1998 model year, and vehicle anti-theft system and trunk anti-trap device were added to the 2002 version, the last model year of production.
Exterior Features
The fourth generation Camaro received a refreshed styling for the 1998 model year, but it wasn't until the last year of production that the car received extra exterior features, such as automatic daytime running lights and fog lights. Through it all, the top-of-the-line Z28 was the only trim that came with alloy wheels.
Price Range
The fourth generation Chevy Camaro has a wide price range because of its nine-year production timeline and various trims. The original manufacturer's suggested retail price for the vehicle was $13,000 to $30,000. As of 2010, a fourth generation Camaro can be bought within the $4,000 to $13,000 price range, according to automotive valuation by Kelley Blue Book.
