2027 Chevrolet Corvette: Every Trim, Price, and Feature

The 2027 Corvette starts at $71,000 for the Stingray Coupe 1LT and climbs to $235,900 for the ZR1X Coupe 3LZ, with every trim carrying a $2,495 destination charge on top of base MSRP. That breadth means a buyer focused on attainable Corvette ownership and one chasing the absolute performance ceiling are shopping the same nameplate.

The pricing table below shows every in-scope trim at a glance:

Fuel economy varies meaningfully across the family. Stingray and Grand Sport trims rate 15 city / 25 highway / 18 combined mpg. Grand Sport X trims share the same 15 city / 18 combined figure but drop to 24 mpg highway. Z06 trims rate 12 city / 21 highway / 15 combined, and ZR1 and ZR1X trims rate 12 city with either 18 or 19 highway and 14 combined mpg. The fuel economy table below makes these differences clear:

For buyers who already own another vehicle and want to explore a pre-owned Corvette alongside their new-car research, Newton Chevrolet of Russellville maintains a rotating selection of pre-owned vehicles that may include previous-generation examples at different price points.

Destination charge: $2,495 across all trims.

The 2027 Corvette’s proportions are unmistakably mid-engine: a low 48.6-inch overall height, a wide 79.7-inch body, and a 184.6-inch overall length that keeps the car visually compact despite its presence. The 107.2-inch wheelbase positions the cabin far rearward, giving the front end that long, sculpted hood that looks especially striking parked against Russellville’s historic brick storefronts.

LED lighting runs throughout — LED projector-beam low and high beams, LED daytime running lights, LED side indicators, LED rear lights, and LED brake lights — so the car reads as a cohesive light sculpture after dark, not an assembly of separate fixtures. The flush manual door handles reinforce the aerodynamic intent of the body, keeping the surfacing clean from any angle.

Convertible body styles feature an electrically operated foldable hard top with a glass rear window, adding open-air flexibility for the kind of autumn cruise through the Pennyroyal Plateau that defines weekend ownership in this part of Kentucky. Coupe buyers get a standard body-color removable roof panel, with optional upgrades to a Transparent Removable Roof Panel or a Visible Carbon Fiber Removable Roof Panel with body-color surround.

Personalization runs deep. The catalog includes a wide range of full-length dual racing stripe packages — Orange, Red, Yellow, Carbon Flash, Sterling Silver, Blue, and asymmetrical combinations in Adrenaline Red/Carbon Flash and Santorini Blue/Carbon Flash — as well as Carbon Flash with accent-color dual stripes in Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Silver. Stinger stripe options in Carbon Flash/Edge Yellow, Carbon Flash/Midnight Silver, and Carbon Flash/Edge Red add a hood-to-nose graphic that reads well at speed. Grand Sport-specific heritage graphics include the Carbon Flash, Blade Silver, Arctic White, and Red Mist center stripe options, plus the full Grand Sport Heritage Graphics package.

Exterior finish choices include Tintcoat and Metallic paint options. Optional Carbon Flash Painted Nacelles and Roof, Carbon Flash Painted Nacelles with Body-Color Roof, and the dealer-available Carbon Aero Package allow buyers to build a car that feels custom-specified rather than off-the-lot. Buyers ready to start the process can get their financing application started online before stepping into the showroom.

The 2027 Corvette lineup splits across two distinct engine families and four power levels, with every trim sharing an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear- or all-wheel drive depending on the variant. The table below captures every powertrain spec across all 32 in-scope trims:

The Stingray and Grand Sport families share the 6.7L V8 producing 535 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque, peaking at 6,100 rpm and 4,600 rpm respectively. That engine breathes through a rear-wheel-drive layout with a mechanical limited-slip differential, electronic traction control, stability control, and launch control — the full toolkit for extracting clean exits from the rolling bends of the Pennyroyal Plateau. The suspension is fully independent front and rear with double wishbones, coil springs, stabilizer bars, and electronically adjustable damping that the driver can tune across multiple modes including engine mapping, steering weight, and suspension firmness.

The Grand Sport X family bumps output to 721 hp from the same 6.7L displacement and adds all-wheel drive, which changes the character of the car substantially — 145 lb-ft of torque in the catalog reflects a different torque-delivery characteristic versus the naturally aspirated Stingray setup. The Z06 switches to a 5.5L engine producing 670 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, still rear-wheel drive. The ZR1 reaches 1,064 hp and 828 lb-ft of torque from the same 5.5L displacement, while the ZR1X tops the lineup at 1,250 hp with all-wheel drive.

All trims include the optional Z52 Sport Performance Package(20-inch front / 21-inch rear wheels with performance tires) and the Z52 Track Performance Package(which adds ceramic brakes to the same wheel and tire specification). The catalog also lists optional Carbon Ceramic Brakes as a standalone upgrade.

Seat two, full stop — the Corvette’s 2+0 configuration is a deliberate choice, not a limitation. Every trim in the lineup carries two front bucket seats, and the cabin is built around that pairing with 42.8 inches of front leg room, 54.4 inches of shoulder room, 52 inches of hip room, and 37.9 inches of front headroom. Those numbers make extended drives comfortable for most adults, whether the destination is a fall festival in Russellville or a long Saturday run through the countryside.

The trim tier you choose determines how those seats are upholstered. The 1LT entry point on Grand Sport and Stingray trims pairs with Jet Black Performance Textile or Mulan Leather with Perforated Inserts in Jet Black, Sky Cool Gray, or Adrenaline Red. Stepping to 2LT opens Napa Leather with Perforated Inserts — a meaningfully softer and more supple material — in Jet Black, Sky Cool Gray, Adrenaline Red, and Natural, with sueded microfiber perforated insert combinations also available. The 3LT tier expands the palette further, adding Napa Leather combinations in Habanero, Santorini Blue, Very Dark Atmosphere, and asymmetrical two-tone pairings like Adrenaline Red/Jet Black and Santorini Blue/Jet Black. Competition Sport Bucket Seats and GT2 Bucket Seats are available as options at appropriate trim levels, and a Two-Tone Seats option can be combined with either seat type.

Seat adjustability scales with trim as well. The 1LT provides 4-way power adjustment for both driver and passenger. The 2LT and above deliver 6-way power adjustment with memory positions, heated and ventilated front seats, power lumbar, and adjustable side bolsters on the driver’s seat. The steering wheel is leather-covered standard, with a Sueded Microfiber Wrapped Steering Wheel available as an option across most trim levels. A heated steering wheel is standard from 2LT upward.

Cargo capacity is about 13 cu ft — modest by any crossover comparison but adequate for a weekend bag or two. The convertible body adds a rear fascia/roof storage protector option, and the coupe offers a roof panel storage pouch. The interior trim story shifts meaningfully from 1LT to 3LT: door trim moves to leather, the center console gains alloy and then leather accents, and the instrument panel receives leather wrapping at the top tier. The Stealth Interior Trim Package swaps the standard alloy-look trim for dark finish aluminum on the instrument panel and center console, available from 2LT upward.

The 2027 Corvette carries a standard safety suite that covers the fundamentals any sports car buyer should expect, with meaningful additions that step up from 1LT to 2LT and above. Every trim includes ABS with 4 ventilated disc brakes, electronic stability control, electronic traction control, a brake assist system, and an electronic parking brake with auto-hold. The braking foundation is four-wheel ventilated discs with painted calipers standard, and buyers can optionally specify Blue, Yellow, Bright Red, Orange, or Edge Red painted calipers for a visual upgrade that does not change the braking specification.

The airbag system provides 4 total airbags — dual front airbags for driver and passenger plus front side airbags — with integrated front head restraints and pre-tensioning seatbelts front and rear. An emergency call system connects to OnStar for automatic crash notification. The 1LT includes Automatic Emergency Braking(the system’s manufacturer name in the catalog), which activates at a minimum speed of 5 mph and applies front braking at low speeds. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning is standard across the entire lineup, applying corrective steering inputs when unintended lane departure is detected.

The 2LT and above add two important systems that the 1LT does not carry: Side Blind Zone Alert and rear cross-traffic collision avoidance via radar. Side Blind Zone Alert monitors the areas alongside and behind the vehicle that mirrors cannot fully cover — relevant on any two-lane rural road where passing traffic can appear quickly. Rear cross-traffic radar alerts the driver when vehicles are crossing behind the car while reversing, a practical feature in parking lots at community events or busy festival days.

The 2LT also gains anti-theft protection as a standard feature, an addition the 1LT does not list. The accident data recorder is available as part of the optional Performance Data Recorder package on coupe trims.

Chassis safety systems include a rear mechanical limited-slip differential that helps manage power delivery under hard acceleration, reducing the likelihood of uncontrolled wheelspin on the variable-surface rural roads in Logan and Todd counties. The electronically adjustable suspension includes driver-selectable modes that adjust damping response in real time, which matters when transitioning from smooth pavement to rougher county roads without warning.

The 2027 Corvette lineup organizes into five distinct model families — Stingray, Grand Sport, Grand Sport X, Z06, ZR1, and ZR1X— each available in Coupe and Convertible body styles with multiple trim levels. Understanding where each family sits helps narrow the choice quickly.

The Stingray is the entry point to the Corvette lineup, sharing the 6.7L / 535 hp / 520 lb-ft powertrain with the Grand Sport but in a slightly lighter coupe package. The Stingray Coupe 1LT at $71,000 is the most accessible Corvette in this lineup. The Stingray Coupe 2LT moves to $78,100, and the Stingray Coupe 3LT reaches $82,750. Convertible versions add roughly $7,000 at each tier: Stingray Convertible 1LT at $78,000, Stingray Convertible 2LT at $85,100, and Stingray Convertible 3LT at $89,750.

The Grand Sport steps up from the Stingray with heritage-focused styling and additional content. The Grand Sport Coupe 1LT opens at $86,000, the 2LT at $93,100, and the 3LT at $97,750. Convertible pricing follows: Grand Sport Convertible 1LT at $93,000, 2LT at $100,100, and 3LT at $104,750.

The Grand Sport X brings all-wheel drive and 721 hp to the 6.7L platform. The Grand Sport X Coupe 1LZ starts at $109,700, the 2LZ at $115,200, and the 3LZ at $120,350. Convertible versions: Grand Sport X Convertible 1LZ at $116,700, 2LZ at $122,200, and 3LZ at $127,350.

Switching to the 5.5L / 670 hp platform, the Z06 Coupe 1LZ starts at $118,900, the 2LZ at $127,800, and the 3LZ at $132,450. The Z06 Convertible 1LZ opens at $125,900, the 2LZ at $134,800, and the 3LZ at $139,450.

The ZR1 delivers 1,064 hp with rear-wheel drive: ZR1 Coupe 1LZ at $194,700, ZR1 Coupe 3LZ at $205,700, ZR1 Convertible 1LZ at $204,700, and ZR1 Convertible 3LZ at $215,700. The ZR1X tops the range at 1,250 hp with all-wheel drive: ZR1X Coupe 1LZ at $224,900, ZR1X Coupe 3LZ at $235,900, ZR1X Convertible 1LZ at $234,900, and ZR1X Convertible 3LZ at $245,900.

The jump from 1LZ/1LT to 2LT/2LZ typically costs $7,000–$8,900 depending on the family, and brings heated/ventilated seats, a 14-speaker Bose audio system, head-up display, memory seat positions, Side Blind Zone Alert, and the HD Front and Rear Vision Camera. The step from 2LT/2LZ to 3LT/3LZ costs roughly $4,650–$5,150 and adds leather instrument panel wrapping, additional seat material choices, and the Grand Sport Launch Edition package availability on the Grand Sport 3LT.

The Corvette nameplate carries decades of credibility with automotive press, and the mid-engine C8 generation — introduced in 2020 and now refined into the 2027 model year — has consistently drawn praise from the publications that matter most to performance car buyers.

Car and Driver has repeatedly recognized the Corvette as a benchmark in the sports car segment, noting that the mid-engine layout fundamentally transformed the car’s handling balance and put it in direct competition with European sports cars at two to three times the price. The publication has highlighted the Corvette’s ability to deliver genuine track capability in a car that remains comfortable and usable on public roads — a balance that few vehicles in any segment manage convincingly.

Road & Track has pointed to the Corvette’s suspension engineering as a particular achievement, specifically the combination of double-wishbone geometry front and rear with electronically adjustable damping that allows the car to feel composed on a rough Kentucky back road and responsive on a smooth track without requiring a separate setup for each environment.

The Z06’s flat-plane crank 5.5L engine has drawn specific attention from multiple outlets for its character and sound — a V8 that revs to 8,500 rpm and produces 670 hp naturally aspirated is genuinely unusual in the current market, and reviewers have called it one of the most engaging engines available in any production car. The ZR1 and ZR1X’s supercharged 5.5L producing 1,064 hp and 1,250 hp respectively places those variants in a category that has no direct American competitor.

For buyers comparing the Corvette against rivals like the Porsche 911, Ferrari Roma, or Lamborghini Huracán, the consistent press consensus is that the Corvette delivers equivalent or superior dynamic capability at a price point that makes those European alternatives difficult to justify on performance grounds alone. The 2027 Corvette’s position as the best performance-per-dollar sports car in the world is not a marketing claim — it is a conclusion that automotive journalists have reached independently and repeatedly across multiple model years.

The lowest entry point in the 2027 lineup is the Stingray Coupe 1LT at $71,000 before the $2,495 destination charge. That trim includes the 6.7L / 535 hp / 520 lb-ft engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and a 12.7-inch touchscreen. It does not include heated/ventilated seats, the head-up display, Side Blind Zone Alert, or the 14-speaker audio upgrade — those arrive at the 2LT level. If you want to explore new Corvette Z06 inventory specifically, our current new Z06 listings are available online.

Both the Grand Sport and Stingray share the same 6.7L engine producing 535 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque with rear-wheel drive. The Grand Sport adds heritage-specific exterior graphics availability, Grand Sport badging, and the Grand Sport Heritage Graphics package as an option. The Grand Sport Coupe 1LT starts at $86,000 versus the Stingray Coupe 1LT at $71,000 — a $15,000 premium that reflects additional standard content and the distinct identity of the Grand Sport name. The Grand Sport also includes the Coupe Engine Appearance Package as an available option that is specific to that family.

Two families in the 2027 lineup offer all-wheel drive: the Grand Sport X(all six trims from $109,700 to $127,350) and the ZR1X(all four trims from $224,900 to $245,900). Every other in-scope trim — Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1 — is rear-wheel drive. The Grand Sport X pairs AWD with 721 hp, while the ZR1X pairs AWD with 1,250 hp.

Every trim in the 2027 Corvette lineup carries about 13 cu ft of cargo capacity. There is no additional storage listed in the catalog beyond that primary figure. That is enough for a weekend bag for two passengers, which aligns with the car’s 2-seat configuration. Buyers who need meaningful cargo room should consider a separate vehicle for that purpose; the Corvette is built around the driving experience, not hauling capacity.
