What the ratings mean
NHTSA published rollover resistance for this vehicle but not frontal crash, side crash and side pole. An untested area is not a poor result — it means no published data exists, and the overall star rating is calculated without it.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 8.3% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 15 MPG combined, the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ranks 7th of 7 subcompact cars EPA rated for 2018 — 10 MPG short of the 25 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $5,050, $2,250 more than the $2,800 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $25,250, a $11,250 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 582 grams per mile — about 8.7 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
