2025 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1LT

The 2025 Corvette is Chevrolet's mid-engine sports car, offered as a coupe or convertible and ranging from a daily-driver grand tourer to a track-focused exotic. It competes with the Porsche 911, Audi R8, and McLaren GT, though its price range undercuts most of them. The mid-engine layout gives it tenacious grip and sharp turn-in, while the steering feels direct and well-weighted. The ride is firm, especially in the higher-performance trims, but the magnetic ride control available on many versions smooths out rough pavement. The cabin is driver-focused with a large curved display, and the front trunk adds useful cargo space for a mid-engine car. The Stingray 1LT is the entry point to Corvette ownership, giving up the 2LT's heated seats and upgraded audio for a lower starting price. The 1LT still includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus rear park assist as standard.
