The 2025 Corvette debuts the mid-engine sports car’s sixth model year, bringing with it a series of modest updates, as well as the new ultra-high-performance C8 ZR1. Notably, the 2025 Corvette also introduces new pricing, which now includes an increase for the destination freight charges (DFC). As confirmed by the Chevy configurator tool, the DFC for all 2025 Corvette models now stands at $1,895, a $200 uptick from a DFC of $1,695 for 2024.
This adjustment arrives amid broader pricing updates for the lineup, as covered previously. With the new DFC added on top, the base 2025 Corvette Stingray now starts at $70,195, while the hybrid all-wheel-drive E-Ray starts at $108,795, the high-revving Z06 starts at $113,995, and the newly introduced ZR1 starts at $175,195. These figures do not include gas guzzler taxes for the Z06 and ZR1 variants.

Notably, the latest DFC increase for the 2025 Corvette is part of a broader trend across GM’s portfolio. In fact, the majority of vehicles in GM’s U.S. lineup will see freight charges climb by $100 to $200.
Under the skin, the 2025 Corvette Stingray retains the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 engine, delivering 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. The E-Ray supplements this setup with a front-mounted electric motor for a total system output of 655 horsepower and all-wheel drive. The track-focused Z06 is equipped as standard with the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6, rated at 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet. At the top of the performance ladder, the new ZR1 introduces the fire-breathing, twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 LT7, generating 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque to make the C8 ZR1 the most powerful and fastest production Corvette ever made.
All variants of the 2025 Corvette ride on the GM Y2 platform, with production taking place at the GM Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Kentucky.
Comments
Still pissed that my 2021 C* Convertible had the dealer delivery charge even though I paid an extra charge to pick it up at the National Corvette Museum and then drove it cross country to my California dealer myself. And the delivery charge even went to the California dealer NOT the NCM (which is only a couple miles from the factory). I complained to both GM corporate and the dealer about the delivery charge when THEY did not deliver it. I did. The dealer claimed that GM “forces” them to charge for a “non-delivery” on every order, regardless of the fact that THEY did not delivery it anywhere. GM insisted that delivery charges were determined by the dealer. And yet the AMOUNT is determined by GM as we read right here.
Hopefully you didn’t have to read right here to know that. If it’s on the window sticker, with MSRP, then the manufacturer sets it.
More disgusting GREED from GM. After buying new Corvettes since 1997, my 2024 ZO6 will be my last.
