Chevrolet unveils 2026-2027 Corvette lineup with hybrid E‑Ray and high‑performance models

Chevrolet introduced the 2026 Corvette range, adding the all‑wheel‑drive E‑Ray Coupe, a hybrid that pairs a 6.2‑liter V8 with an electric front‑motor for a combined 655 hp. The E‑Ray accelerates from 0‑60 mph in about 2.5 seconds, features a stealth electric‑only mode for low‑speed travel, and starts around $120,000, with test‑car prices near $150,000 after options such as carbon‑fiber wheels and performance packages.

The 2027 model year expands the lineup to six distinct trims – Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, ZR1, ZR1X and the new E‑Ray – each offered as coupe or convertible. Prices vary from $95,495 for the base Stingray to $151,120 for fully optioned Z06 convertibles. Options include premium paint colors, carbon‑fiber aero kits, upgraded Brembo brakes, performance suspension, and bespoke interior trims. Assembly continues at Chevrolet’s Bowling Green, Kentucky plant, with roughly 40% of parts sourced domestically and a small percentage from Mexico.

Both articles note the Corvette’s focus on high performance, advanced materials such as carbon fiber, and modern conveniences like hydraulic lift systems, expanded cargo space, and upgraded infotainment and driver‑information displays.
