The Chevrolet Corvette enters the third year of its stunning rebirth as a mid-engine sports car with exotic styling that instantly turns heads. Now that a few years have passed since its debut, has the formula grown at all stale? Heck no.
The Corvette offers a mind-bending package of quickness, handling and even comfort on the road. However, its biggest strength is the price, which undercuts several competing sports cars by a significant margin. New for this year is a race-inspired C8.R Edition package that pays tribute to the Corvette's motorsports success. But even base versions of this coupe are well equipped to compete against the likes of the BMW M4 and Porsche 911. Read the categories of our Expert Rating below to get our test team's full evaluation of the 2022 Corvette's performance, comfort and more.
What's it like to live with?
We bought a 2020 Corvette in the midlevel 2LT trim to experience ownership for ourselves. Are you shocked to know that the Vette has been in high demand among our editorial test team? Its combination of high-octane performance and surprising practicality has made the car a winner. But there have been issues with maintenance. Click here to read our long-term Corvette updates.
Performance
Steering and handling are both impressive, and the car's considerable limits can be explored even by drivers with only moderate skill. Likewise, the new eight-speed automatic transmission impresses with its smooth and quick shifts.
Comfort
The Corvette's GT2 bucket seats are road-trip champions that can help you stay comfortable over thousands of miles. They're less aggressive than the optional Competition seats but still hold you in place during high-speed cornering, and they're well padded enough for long-distance comfort. The climate system provides good airflow from its stylish vents, and the heated/ventilated seat functions work well.

Interior
It's a bit more difficult to get into the Corvette than some other higher-riding sports cars, and getting out of it is even more of a challenge. This predicament is exacerbated in tight parking situations. But buyers will likely figure out a way and won't be too bothered. The compromised rear visibility will take some getting used to as well. Chevy added a camera-based rearview mirror display to help out, but the blind spots created by the rear pillars are still significant.
Technology
It lacks adaptive cruise control and emergency braking, but rear cross-traffic assist is a very welcome feature, as are the cameras that help with low-speed maneuvering. An optional nose-lift system can use GPS to remember steep driveways, which is handier than you might imagine. Of course, Chevrolet's Performance Traction Management software is available and excellent.
Storage
Similar to other cars in this class, interior storage is limited to a small, shallow center console box and an equally small pair of cupholders. The door pockets are long and lined with felt but can't hold a whole lot.
Fuel Economy
Value
The three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and the five-year/50,000-mile powertrain warranty are average for the class. Roadside assistance is covered for the first five years/60,000 miles and the first maintenance visit is free.

Chevrolet Corvette vs. the competition

2022 Chevrolet Corvette

2021 Ford Shelby GT500
Chevrolet Corvette vs. Ford Shelby GT500
The Ford Shelby GT500 is a high-performance version of the Mustang. And when we say high-performance, we mean the "760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque" kind of high performance. It's a beast of a muscle car, but the Corvette is more engaging to drive around a racetrack and more comfortable on city streets. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Shelby GT500.
Chevrolet Corvette vs. BMW M4
The BMW M4 is a powerful luxury coupe, albeit with a 503-horsepower engine under the hood. It's fun to drive and packs impressive cargo capacity. However, the Corvette has better steering and ride comfort at a lower price. It also feels more exotic and special due to its engine layout. Still, the M4 is a hoot.
Chevrolet Corvette vs. Porsche 718 Cayman
Both of these cars are mid-engine and reward you with communicative steering and handling. The Cayman is more nimble around turns, but the Corvette counters with its more evocative V8. You might feel a little more special in the Cayman, but for overall value, the Corvette is certainly the better pick.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
