After its transformative redesign in 2020, the C8 2022 Corvette surpassed a number of high-end sports car rivals in our luxury sport coupe rankings. And thanks to a few additional tech improvements, it's likely cemented its place at the top of the heap for a while to come. The Corvette is bonkers fast, it handles beautifully, and it still manages traffic and daily errands. The styling may be controversial, but its price and performance certainly are not.
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.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Great
8.5
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
9/10
How does the Corvette drive? Even in a class full of impressive performance cars, the Corvette stands out. In Edmunds' testing and using the car's launch control system, our 3LT coupe test car with all-season tires ripped from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds (3.3 seconds with 1 foot of rollout) and cleared the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at more than 118 mph. Both times are very quick, and if you opt for the Z51 Performance package, those numbers are 3.4 seconds (3.2 seconds with rollout) and 11.5 seconds at 120 mph, respectively. Braking performance is excellent though not quite class-leading, but that's largely due to the narrow front tires. Our 3LT test car came to a stop from 60 mph in 109 feet; the Z51 Corvette with its sticker tires needed just 105 feet.
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
8.5/10
How comfortable is the Corvette? The Corvette is one of the more comfortable cars in its class. Our test car had the optional MagneRide adaptive suspension. We found that it offers excellent compliance over a variety of road surfaces and smooths out bumps that would likely upset other sports cars. Adding to the comfort is the relative lack of wind and engine noise, though tire noise can be prominent on rough road surfaces.
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
7.5/10
How’s the interior? Maybe just as striking as the exterior design, the Corvette's interior is certainly eye-catching. While it is relatively easy to use, there is quite a bit of controversy around the placement and design of the climate control buttons. They simply aren't arranged intuitively. Passengers might also feel left out since there's little they can interact with.
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
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The Corvette benefits from Chevrolet's newest infotainment system. The graphics are crisp and modern, and the touchscreen's proximity to the driver makes it easy to operate. As small as the interior is, the optional 14-speaker Bose audio system manages to produce high-quality sound with plenty of power. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity is also standard, and both smartphone integration systems worked well during our test.
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
8/10
How’s the storage? Mid-engine sports cars aren't well known for their practicality. But the Corvette makes pretty good use of its available space. The front trunk can hold a couple of grocery bags, and the rear is big enough for two golf bags. Rear storage all but disappears, however, when you store the Corvette coupe's removable roof panel in the trunk.
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
8/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Corvette gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg (15 city/27 highway). Our test Corvette returned 21.8 mpg on our 120-mile mixed-driving evaluation route — not bad when you consider the sort of spirited driving that the Corvette encourages. As with all high-performance cars, single digits are just a good road and a heavy foot away.
Value
8/10
Is the Corvette a good value? If you don't find performance to be the strongest argument for buying the Corvette, perhaps it's the pricing. Starting around $60,000, the Corvette is a relative bargain among performance cars. Even if you outfit it with a number of options, whether you're talking the upgraded performance of the Z51 or the enhanced luxury of the 3LT, it's still a reasonable $75,000-$80,000. Build quality has always been a sore spot with Corvettes, but this generation doesn't have that problem. The interior looks and feels premium, and paint and panel gaps are similarly well done.
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.
Wildcard
10/10
It's easy to be impressed by the C8. Its performance rivals that of sports cars costing nearly twice as much, yet the Corvette is still everyday comfortable and practical. But it's the performance that shocks the most. The transformation has been nothing short of jaw-dropping.
2022 Chevrolet Corvette trim level differences
The 2022 Chevrolet Corvette is available as a coupe (with a manually removable overhead panel) or as a convertible with a power-retractable hardtop. Its trim levels are the 1LT, 2LT and 3LT. All models are powered by a mid-mounted 6.2-liter V8 engine (490 horsepower, 465 lb-ft of torque) matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Corvette is rear-wheel-drive only. Compare the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette trim levels in-depth.
Which Corvette trim does Edmunds recommend?
The midlevel 2LT trim is the way to go for overall value. In particular, its standard heated and ventilated seats contribute to a more comfortable cabin, while the blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert makes it easier to know what's behind you. The optional front-end lift system is expensive but entirely worth it. As for the Z51 package, it's great if you're planning on tracking your Corvette, but otherwise feel free to skip it.
The 2022 Chevrolet Corvette has a 3 years / 36,000 miles basic warranty and 1 recall. RepairPal gives it a reliability rating of 3.5 out of 5, ranks it #26 out of 28 among Midsize Cars. Below you’ll find our owner reviews.

2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2dr Convertible w/3LT (6.2L 8cyl 8AM)
I have a 2021 C8 3LT convertible. Performance, handling, and ride quality is amazing. Styling is head-turning and overall value is terrific. It just about does everything a Ferrari or Lambo can do for less than half the price. However, it's let down by GM's infamous quality control issues. On my car in particular, the leather on the upper part of the dash is warping. From what I hear, GM … doesn't have a real fix for this except to replace the whole dash. But even that won't guarantee it won't happen again. I also hear this happens on many 3LT models with the leather dash. even on brand new '23 models! This is simply unacceptable. Such a shame that a world-class caliber sports car like the C8 is let down by GM's QC issues.
Delivered as Promised

2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2dr Coupe w/2LT (6.2L 8cyl 8AM)
I have always wanted to get a Vette, but never did. I actually ordered a C7, but backed out because dealer could not give me what I wanted for my trade in. That was before the mid-engine C8 came out. Glad I didn’t get the C7. I was on a list for approximately 18 months. I finally got my car recently and it was worth the wait. The car is fantastic. Chevy really delivered what they … promised with this version. The car is worth every penny they charge for it. I was concerned about two areas specifically. Getting in and out and driving comfort. I’m not going to say it is a breeze entering and exiting the car, but it’s not that bad. Driving it makes up for any “inconvenience.” As far as driving comfort, it is better than expected. My wife, who wasn’t convinced I should even buy it, admitted she was pleasantly surprised. That’s saying something. The exterior styling is phenomenal. I ordered the Red Mist Tincoat Metallic and I can honestly say people are getting whiplash as I drive by. Most of my friends can only say OMG. The interior dispels any thoughts of it not being high quality. GM really got it right. They also did a great job with the technology. It is pretty user friendly. Plus you can customize how the car handles with the multiple choices available. Bottom line for me is it is the best car I’ve ever had. It was worth the wait.
Loving my new C8

I am a life long vette owner and while I have seen it continuously improve over the years, I never expected it could be this good. Speechless!
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette, so we've included reviews for other years of the Corvette since its last redesign.
