ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro With Recaro?

The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro With Recaro achieved a 5-star rollover rating, accompanied by an 8 percent risk figure, marking its strongest performance in federal crash tests. This result contributes to its overall Safety Index score of 82 points, placing it in the Strong band. The vehicle earned a 62.2 out of 70 for crash protection, bolstered by this rollover performance and a solid 4-star frontal crash rating. Its defect record stands out with a near-perfect 17.5 out of 20, reflecting no recalls issued for this model year.
