2025 Chevy Corvette E-Ray

Price Range: $106,900 - $124,850

Good

The E-Ray is the most technologically interesting Corvette ever. Its electric motor powers the front wheels, giving the car all-wheel drive and improving acceleration. But the motor and its battery add weight that compromises steering feel and handling. The elevated price tag is also a concern.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

Updated: 12/12/2025

Trucks might keep the lights on at Chevrolet, but the Corvette is the heart of the brand. One of the most iconic American cars, the Corvette has been around for more than 70 years. When the current Corvette debuted in 2020, it brought historic changes to the iconic machine, transforming it from a front-engine to mid-engine layout with massive performance gains. Chevrolet has continued refining the eighth-generation Corvette, or "C8," since its launch, introducing the more powerful Z06, the hybrid E-Ray, and coming sometime in 2025 the most powerful Corvette ever: the Corvette ZR1, with more than 1,000 horsepower. Through it all, the C8 remains comfortable, features a well-laid-out interior, is easy to drive slowly, and is a joy to drive up twisty mountainsides or on racetracks.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Good

6.6

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

7.7/10

How does the Chevrolet Corvette drive? At our test track, the E-Ray sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and through the quarter mile in just 10.7 seconds at 125.9 mph. That's quicker than a Corvette Z06 we tested. Despite its extra power, the E-Ray is as docile around town as a Stingray. The transmission shifts smoothly and quickly.

Our test car's optional summer tires held on for 1.14 g of lateral grip, which puts the E-Ray between Stingray and Z06 results. While that's impressive, the handling left us somewhat disappointed. The Corvette's typically quick and precise steering is dulled, resulting in noticeable torque steer as well as some understeer, likely due to the extra weight and power of the electric front axle.

The standard carbon-ceramic brakes are impressive, but the car stopped in a longish 114 feet from 60 mph, which is too long for a high-po sports car.

The E-Ray's standard MagneRide adaptive suspension offers excellent compliance over a variety of road surfaces and smooths out bumps that upset other sports cars.

Chevy includes a camera-based rearview mirror display to help with compromised rear visibility, but the blind spots created by the rear pillars are significant.

Comfort

7.1/10

How comfortable is the Chevrolet Corvette? The Corvette is one of the more comfortable cars in its class. There's a relative lack of wind and engine noise, though tire noise from the ultra-wide performance rubber can be prominent on rough roads. The E-Ray's electric motor is only audible under harder acceleration. The noise of the 6.2-liter V8 still dominates the cabin.

Maybe just as striking as the exterior design, the Corvette's interior is certainly eye-catching. While the climate control buttons are relatively easy to use, they aren't arranged intuitively. Passengers might also feel left out since there's little they can interact with.

The optional Competition seats in our test car are a little snug but serve to better hold you in place during high-speed cornering, and they have enough padding for long-distance comfort. The climate system provides good airflow from its stylish vents, and the heated and ventilated seat functions work well.

Like all Corvettes, it's a bit more difficult to get into the E-Ray than some higher-riding sports cars, and getting out 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.

In-cabin tech

6.2/10

How’s the tech? The Corvette's 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. An optional nose-lift system can use GPS to remember steep driveways, which is handier than you might imagine.

Storage & cargo

6.8/10

How’s storage and cargo? The E-Ray loses no practicality when compared to the standard Stingray and 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. The Corvette coupe's removable roof panel will take up most of the trunk if you store it in there.

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.

Value

6.8/10

Is the Chevrolet Corvette a good value? The Stingray's bang for your buck is undeniable, and you could make the same case for the Z06. But with the E-Ray's base price hovering around the same price as a Z06, it's a harder sell. Sure, you get arguably the most advanced Corvette ever made and a ton of real-world performance to boot, but the E-Ray isn't significantly quicker than a standard Corvette and lacks the exotic draw of the high-revving Z06. Build quality matches the price, and the optional carbon-fiber components on our test car, including the wheels, were finished to a high standard. Warranty coverage is standard and unremarkable.

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? With the available performance on tap in the E-Ray, the EPA estimate of 19 mpg in combined driving isn't too shabby. It has essentially the same fuel economy as the standard Stingray but improved performance. With a light foot or a decent amount of highway driving, we don't think it will be a problem to hit those numbers. Like any Corvette, drive it with any enthusiasm and you can expect to see your fuel economy drop into the low teens. It's worth noting that the E-Ray's electric assist does not enable it to drive for any meaningful distance solely on electric power.

X factor

7/10

The E-Ray inhabits the middle ground between the highly competent Stingray and the mighty Z06. Its marriage of the 6.2-liter V8 from the Stingray with an electric motor to power the front wheels provides incredible traction and stunning real-world speed. Adding to its appeal over the standard Stingray is the wider and more menacing body from the Z06. But the E-Ray's price tag is nearly equal to the more exotic and better-performing Z06's. Unless you want the E-Ray's all-weather competency, the E-Ray will be of limited use to many of the Corvette faithful.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette trim level differences

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette, high-performance Z06, E-Ray hybrid and extreme ZR1 are each available as a coupe (with a manually removable roof panel) or as a convertible featuring a power-retractable hardtop. The standard Corvette Stingray comes in 1LT, 2LT and 3LT trim levels, while the Z06 and E-Ray are offered in 1LZ, 2LZ and 3LZ trims. The ZR1 will be offered in two trims, 1LZ and 3LZ. Compare the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette trim levels in-depth.

Which Corvette trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the midlevel 2LT trim (or the Z06's 2LZ trim) hits the sweet spot for performance and value. It costs about 10% more than the base trim, but it adds extras such as heated and ventilated seats, wireless phone charging, navigation, an upgraded Bose audio system, and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning.

Competitors to consider

Though sports cars are a dying niche, the ones that do still exist are better than ever. Those who seek more refinement and more seats might look to the Porsche 911 — it offers up similar performance (in some trims) in a more everyday-friendly package. Mercedes also recently announced the new AMG GT, which keeps its front-engine layout and classic grand-tourer proportions. Be sure to read our Expert Rating below for our full deep dive on the Corvette's attributes.

Edmunds spotlight: An even faster Vette for 2025

You'd think the 670-horsepower Z06 would be enough to cement it as the ultimate Corvette. You'd be wrong, though, because coming in 2025 is the ultimate king-of-the-hill iteration, the Corvette ZR1. Starting with the Z06's incredible 5.5-liter flat-plane crank V8 engine, it adds two turbochargers, pumping power up to an astonishing 1,064 horsepower. Easily the most powerful production Corvette ever made — and outgunning several race versions as well — the new ZR1 is designed to take the fight to supercars and hypercars from Italy and Germany. Read our 2025 Corvette ZR1 First Drive article for an in-depth take on what it's like driving this $200,000 monster.

What’s it like to live with?
