Chevy El Camino Hybrid

Introducing upcoming 2025 Chevy El Camino

One of the industry’s most unique vehicles is the El Camino, which combines the front of a car and the back of a pickup truck. While it was not the first car-truck hybrid on the US market, Ford released the Ranchero in 1957. Chevrolet’s El Camino was a sweeping success, with sales of over 21,500 units in its first year of production in 1959. The El Camino SS debuted in 1969 as a high-performance variant of the El Camino. The 1970 model of the Chevrolet El Camino SS has a V8 big-block engine with 450 horsepower. Later, because of the fuel crisis, displacement and engine power dropped, and it was more focused on fuel economy than on raw power. Now the truck can come back as the 2025 Chevy El Camino.

The production of the El Camino stopped in 1987 with the fifth generation. However, news broke that the new generation is in development and should be introduced in Q4 of 2023. Chevrolet should introduce the 2025 Chevy El Camino with a totally new interior and exterior. And it will also use an adapted powertrain from a Chevrolet Traverse. Also, there are rumors that the hybrid variant of the El Camino will hit dealerships in Q1 of 2024.

The 2025 Chevy El Camino should come with an improved V6 3.6-liter engine from the Chevrolet Traverse. That will be adopted for rear-wheel drive. It should produce up to 330 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The sixth generation of the El Camino will be equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive. But it should not come as a surprise that all-wheel drive will also be an option for the SS trim and Hybrid variant. According to speculation that has been floating around, there will also be an option for a V8 and a hybrid powertrain. The payload capacity for an upcoming El Camino should range from 1000 to 1500 lbs, depending on trim level.

There is news spreading around that Chevy will introduce a legendary variant of the El Camino on the same date as a normal variant. El Camino SS will be a top-tier sporty variant of this hybrid car-truck mix. It should include a more powerful V8 engine with nearly 450 horsepower. One of the biggest changes will probably be all-wheel drive and unique styling. The design of the exterior and interior of the pickup will include a new blacked-out front fascia, unique 19-inch wheels, and a few SS badges on the exterior and interior of the pickup truck. With all these changes, it will not be hard to spot a difference between the El Camino SS and a base model.
