The 2025 Corvette drops in as the sixth model year for the mid-engine C8, debuting a few small updates and changes compared to the preceding 2024 model year. Critically, those changes include new pricing, with the cost of entry for some 2025 Corvette models a bit higher than was the case for 2024. Now, GM Authority has uncovered the starting prices for all of the 2025 Chevy Corvette trim levels and configurations.
As was the case for the 2024 model year, the 2025 Corvette is available in three different variants, specifically the C8 Stingray, the C8 E-Ray, and the C8 Z06. Each of these variants is available in either a Coupe or Convertible body style, and each offers several different trim levels as well.
Critically, starting prices for the C8 Stingray are unchanged for the 2025 model year, while prices for the C8 E-Ray and C8 Z06 are $2,000 more expensive than they were previously. The entry-level 2025 Corvette is once again the Stingray 1LT Coupe, which is priced at $69,995, while the E-Ray starts at $108,595 for the 1LZ Coupe. Stepping up to the Z06 costs $113,795 for the 1LZ Coupe.

As before, the C8 Corvette Stingray cradles the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine, rated at 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, driving the rear wheels through the M1L eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission codeveloped with Tremec. The E-Ray is also equipped with the LT2 V8, which is complemented by a front-mounted electric motor, the combination of which yields 655 horsepower and all-wheel-drive grip. Finally, the C8 Z06 cradles the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6, which is rated at 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
GM is set to introduce a new variant for the Corvette C8 soon, specifically the new ZR1, expected to be even more powerful and track-capable than the Z06. Pricing for the new ZR1 is currently unavailable.
All C8 Corvette variants ride on the GM Y2 platform, and every unit is produced at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

No surprise. Keep the entry level competitive and charge more for the upscale/high performance models.
One would think….why not just buy the $70k model and add a supercharger for around $10k and have a sleeper
E-ray/Z06 might get better brakes, suspension, tires etc to handle the extra power. Warranty might come into play as well. Some of the after market guys will warrant the engine, but what about the tranny?
Super chargers are now 17,000$ U.S. minimum , not installed.
ez pass
Where’s the updated stingray with over 500 HP we weee promised end of last year?
Prob a 2026 model
There is allegedly a new generation of V8s in development. We shall see what comes out of that project
2020-2025 no boost in horsepower for the stingray for those that want trade in their 2020-2021 for a 2025.
Horsepower should have been increased to at least 520 and a boost in torque to make repeat buyers believe they are getting more than the same old. I own a 22 stingray, and now waiting until 26 model year to hopefully see some big changes otherwise it’s basically the same car
Six years and no mid-cycle refresh. C2s five years in total, C3 fifteen years in total with exterior refresh in 70, 73,74,75,78 and 80, C4 thirteen years in total with exterior refresh in 90 and 95(?)- you get the picture. Not included here the mechanical and interior upgrades each generation received along the way. C8 owners will argue sales good enough for leaving things as is but sales have dropped off considerably. Special edition models such as the Z06, E-Ray not mentioned because they aren’t standard. Yes, what happened to more standard power and interior upgrades?
This is normal for all performance coupes across automakers. They take a long time to refresh. Too bad Chevrolet did not get the memo and keep the Camaro around.
Don’t see any difference from last few years
I Had a 2021 Shadow Gray C 8 2 LT. Had it three weeks and was at my local Publix grocery store, when I returned to the car, some guy was standing there admiring my car. He wanted it bad. I said, it is not for sale. 10 minutes later I agreed to sell it to him for $22k more than I paid for it. I then took the proceeds and purchased a 2022 Porsche 911. I figured when would I ever be able to buy a Porsche 911 at a $22k discount. After a year and a half I sold it and bought a new 2024 Hyporsonic gray C 8 HTC.
Corvette VS 911. The Corvette rode better, drove better, many items that are extra $ in a Porsche are standard in a Vette. the computer is much easier to use in C 8. However, I must give the edge to the 911 on looks. Not that the C 8 isn’t great looking, the 911 is timeless. Only regret, I wish I had upgraded to a 3 LT. For the $, the Corvette is a better value.
Just curious, this is the newest of the 8th Generation Stingray and after 5 years now, I can’t believe that the “powers that be” at the engine and drivetrain division of Chevrolet couldn’t find just 5 more horsepower so that they could claim 500 horsepower as the base (with the optional exhaust system) 6.2 Liter engine’s output! In years past the “base V8 engines” in all Corvette’s have managed to go higher almost generation after generation from the C-1 through the newer generations.
An example might be the base 327 engine in 1962 that was 250 HP and later bumped up to a base 300 HP by 1967 simply removing the 250 HP engine and later in 1969, still rated at 300 HP but now sporting 350 cubic inches of displacement but with a higher torque rating. In the C-3 Generation, the base 350 engine’s HP rating was increased especially after a electronic fuel injection was introduced in 1982, and again in the new C-4 Generation 1985, in 1986, in 1988, and again in 1991 hitting that magic 300 HP mark again! And in subsequently newer generation Corvette’s, they’ve managed to find a few more “horses” like in the C5 Generation going from an original in 1997 “345 HP” to “350 HP” in 2001. Anyway you get my point, right?
Just say’n come on Chevy, you can certainly find just 5 more “ponies” cause that magic 500 HP mark would be a great number for the base 6.2 liter Corvette engine…in fact, how about making it 500 HP and 505 HP with the optional exhaust or 505 HP with the truly amazing Z-51 option in the base Corvette! I know you can do, hell, just add a stanard “K&N” air filter and there you go, there’s your 5 more ponies…simple as that! See, not all things in life are that complicated, wink.
…still has an ugly butt….just sayin’…..
U wouldn’t even notice the 5 hp.
I had a fully loaded 2000 Corvette Coupe, two tops and magnesium wheels…the total was $50K.
Best Corvette I have ever owned is my current 1999 C5 fixed roof model. With its 6 speed manual transmission, I get 30 mpg on the highway at 75 mph. Yet, it can do 0 – 60 mph in less than 4.5 sec! It is only worth about $25,000 in absolutely mint condition! That’s about the cost of the transmission in the C8 models!!! My first Corvette was a brand new 1963 convertible with removable hardtop that cost me $3995! Today, that would get you a set of tires for the new C8s! Inflation!?! What inflation!
