Full-size Chevrolets looked about the same for 1982, but came in fewer models. The Caprice Landau Coupe was dropped, only the three-seat Caprice Wagon was offered, along with the Sports Coupe and Four-Door Sedan.

Standard engine was the 229 cu. in. (3.8-litter) V-6, with Three-Speed Automatic. Wagons had the 267 cu. in. (4.4-litter) V-8, which cost $70 extra on other models.
Optional Four-Speed Overdrive Automatic boosted gas milleage on the optional 267 cu. in. (4.4-litter) or 305 cu. in. (5.0-litter) gas engines.
Caprice had a Chrome-Plated Grille and the Front Side Marker Lenses wrapped around.
