Striking Looks: The Corvette’s Bold Exterior Design

Engine & Performance

Powertrain specifications across trim levels

All trims share: Horsepower: 490 hp, Torque: 470 lb-ft, Transmission: Automatic.

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette carries forward its reputation as an iconic sports car, combining aerodynamic finesse with aggressive styling cues that turn heads wherever it goes. Each trim level from the 1LT through the 3LZ highlights distinctive exterior elements that perfectly balance race-inspired features with everyday usability. Measuring a sleek 184.6 inches in length across the base Stingray trims, and slightly longer at 186.7 inches with the 1LZ and 3LZ trims, the Corvette delivers athletic proportions that underscore its performance pedigree without sacrificing road presence.

One of the standout aspects of the Corvette’s exterior design is its versatile body style options. Buyers can choose between a coupe with a removable targa top or a convertible with a folding hardtop, adding freedom to tailor the driving experience to weather or mood. The coupe’s targa option offers open-air excitement alongside a rigid roof for enhanced structural integrity, while the convertible provides seamless wind-in-your-hair thrills wrapped in refined sophistication. This combination respects the Corvette’s heritage while catering to modern-day preferences in sports car versatility.

The width of 79.7 inches gives the Corvette a planted stance on the road, helping maximize cornering stability and road-hugging grip. Meanwhile, subtle height variations among trims—from 49.2 inches on the 1LT coupe to 48.6 inches on the 1LZ and 3LZ—enhance aerodynamic efficiency and lower center of gravity. The sculpted bodywork includes bold character lines that flow from front to rear, emphasizing speed even at a standstill. The aggressive front fascia features available LED headlights that provide crisp, clear illumination and underscore the car’s sharp, purposeful gaze.

Additional aerodynamic components set key trims apart. The ZR1 1LZ, while not part of the focus trims here, shares design DNA with available carbon-fiber ground effects, and similarly textured components can be found on other trims to reduce drag and improve airflow. Furthermore, the Corvette offers a rear spoiler option for improved downforce, a feature that benefits spirited driving on curvy roads, enhancing stability during high-speed maneuvers—a nod to its track-day capabilities.

Chevrolet’s attention to detail is evident in the paint and finish options available across trims. The 2026 Corvette introduces new paint colors such as Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver, both available on all trims. These vibrant but tasteful hues provide fresh aesthetic appeal to this well-established model. Optional design features like the asymmetrical Edge Red and Carbon Flash center stripe allow buyers to personalize the Corvette’s look, projecting an even sportier attitude and drawing eyes on every mile.

The wheel and brake setup complements this aggressive style. The Corvette rides on staggered wheels, ranging up to 21 inches at the rear, depending on the trim, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires enhancing grip and responsiveness on the pavement. E-Ray variants, corresponding to 1LZ through 3LZ trims, specifically benefit from a wider track and a lowered ride height by roughly 3.6 inches, further sharpening their stance on the road. Brake calipers painted in blue, available on the E-Ray and Z06 trims, add a pop of color behind the spokes that hint at the Corvette’s serious stopping power.

Exterior lighting technology supports both function and design. Available LED headlights do more than just provide illumination—they contribute to a signature Corvette look with their narrow, upright profile that blends function with style. Automatic high beams adjust for oncoming vehicles to ensure safety without sacrificing visibility, seamlessly integrating into the sleek aesthetics.

Other exterior refinements include body-color rocker panels standard on certain trims like the E-Ray, which help maintain visual continuity and a clean side profile. Convertible options feature a modern folding hardtop engineered for smooth operation and quiet cabin experience when closed, preserving the coupe-like atmosphere for daily driving or spirited outings. The electrochromic roof option trusts technology to let drivers tint the glass roof with variable levels, customizing brightness while maintaining out-of-the-ordinary styling.

Together, these design features position the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette as a statement-making sports car that balances boldness with refinement. Every contour, material choice, and color option speaks directly to drivers who want a car that performs as impressively as it looks. Whether cruising through local roads near Bentonville or navigating the more spirited, winding routes around Tontitown, the Corvette’s exterior cues promise an experience shaped by both passion and precision. This striking presence leaves no doubt that it belongs among the most exciting vehicles currently offered, marrying Chevrolet’s rich racing legacy with a modern expression designed for everyday enjoyment.

Heart of a Legend: Corvette’s Powertrain and Performance Breakdown

Fuel Economy

EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings

All trims share: Combined MPG: 24 mpg.

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette embodies a driving experience powered by raw capability and precision engineering, underpinning a legacy known across the sports car world. At the core of the Corvette’s exhilarating performance lies the robust 6.2-liter V8 engine available across the primary Stingray trims—1LT, 2LT, and 3LT—delivering a bold 490 horsepower paired with 470 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated powerplant achieves an engaging connection through an advanced automatic transmission, sending power exclusively to the rear wheels in a true rear-wheel-drive (RWD) configuration. For those who crave a more track-focused edge, the E-Ray trims (1LZ, 2LZ, 3LZ) intensify performance further with a potent 5.5-liter V8 engine.

Beginning with the Stingray 1LT trim, drivers enjoy that signature 6.2L V8 outputting the standard 490 hp and 470 lb-ft torque. This powertrain utilizes an 8-speed automatic transmission that maximizes both responsiveness and efficiency. Fuel economy for this trim strikes a balanced profile for a sports car, rated at 19 miles per gallon in the city and 29 miles per gallon on the highway, yielding a combined 24 mpg. The Stingray 1LT measures 184.6 inches long, 79.7 inches wide, and stands 49.2 inches tall, delivering a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette that complements its athletic prowess.

Stepping up to the Stingray 2LT and 3LT trims, the 6.2L V8 remains the powerhouse but sees a slight tuning shift affecting fuel efficiency marginally—both trims have a city rating of 17 mpg while maintaining the 29 mpg highway figure. The heights decrease slightly to 48.9 inches, reflecting subtle aerodynamic tweaks. Through these trims, the robust powertrain is paired with refined components such as upgraded suspension and braking systems that enhance driving dynamics. Besides an 8-speed automatic transmission, these trims add driver-focused enhancements like paddle shifters on the steering wheel that provide precise control over gear changes, reinforcing the Corvette’s reputation for engaging performance.

The premium E-Ray trims take performance to new heights with a 5.5-liter V8 engine forging a different route through the powertrain spectrum. Unlike the Stingray’s naturally aspirated 6.2L engine, the E-Ray variants include an electrified all-wheel-drive system (4WD), marking a significant leap in traction and acceleration capabilities. The 1LZ and 2LZ trims with this engine deliver a city fuel economy rating of 12 mpg, while highway values register at 18 mpg and 21 mpg, respectively. The 3LZ trim ups the ante not only with its advanced 5.5L V8 but also through an exclusive 4WD setup, enabling superior grip and handling dynamics, while maintaining the same fuel economy numbers as the 1LZ and 2LZ. These trims measure around 186.7 inches in length and maintain a width of 79.7 inches with a height of 48.6 inches, continuing the Corvette’s poised yet aggressive stance.

Beyond raw output, the 2026 Corvette features multiple performance packages designed to sharpen its edge on the road and track. The Z51 performance package, available on several trims, is particularly noteworthy—it raises the Stingray’s power output by 5 additional horsepower to 495 hp, thanks to a dual-mode exhaust system. This package also brings an electronic limited-slip differential that improves traction through corners, upgraded brakes for enhanced stopping power, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires that deliver supreme road grip. The synergy of these additions work together to make every corner more confident and every straightaway more thrilling.

Handling dynamics are further supported by the innovative Magnetic Ride Control system, a hallmark of Chevrolet’s commitment to blending comfort with sportiness. This adaptive suspension technology reads road conditions in real-time, adjusting damping forces to optimize both ride quality and responsiveness. On E-Ray trims, Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 integrates with wider track widths and staggered 20- and 21-inch wheels, lowering the ride height by 3.6 inches compared to the Stingray and improving the car’s center of gravity for razor-sharp handling stability.

Stopping power is never compromised, with Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes featured on E-Ray models, supported by stability and traction control systems standard across all trims. Driver aids such as limited-slip differentials on performance variants bolster grip, especially when accelerating hard out of corners or navigating complex road surfaces. Every 2026 Corvette also benefits from Chevrolet’s 8-speed automatic transmission, which provides crisp shifts with minimal interruption to power delivery, and eliminates the availability of a manual gearbox to maintain consistent performance standards.

The Corvette’s drivetrain architecture champions rear-wheel drive on the Stingray trims, contributing to an engaging, familiar driving feel prized by enthusiasts. Meanwhile,

Driver-Centered Luxury: Inside the 2026 Corvette’s Interior

Step inside the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette, and you’re immediately immersed in a cabin designed with the driver’s experience as the central focus. Whether you choose the nimble 1LT, the well-equipped 2LT, the feature-rich 3LT, or move into the high-performance 1LZ, 2LZ, or 3LZ trims, every detail has been crafted to balance comfort, control, and style to elevate your daily drives or spirited excursions through scenic roads near Bentonville and beyond.

Seating and Comfort That Focus on You
Every Corvette model comes standard with seating designed for two passengers, offering sport-inspired bucket seats that keep you firmly planted during dynamic maneuvers or extended drives. The 1LT trim features GT1 bucket seats with 8-way power adjustments, allowing precise customization to find your ideal driving position. Moving to the 3LT trim upgrades this experience with GT2 bucket seats wrapped in a premium leather interior package accented by micro-suede upper trim, delivering both comfort and upscale feel.

The 2LT and 3LT trims also introduce heated and ventilated seats, a welcome addition for tackling Arkansas’s diverse seasons—providing warmth on chilly mornings or cooling relief on summer days. Meanwhile, the 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ trims, equipped with a sophisticated 5.5L V8 engine, maintain two-passenger seating, enhancing luxury with options like the Memory Driver and Passenger Convenience package on the 2LZ, which personalizes seat positions for convenience and ease.

Refined Materials and Thoughtful Design
Inside the Corvette’s cockpit, quality materials meet purposeful design. The 3LT and 3LZ trims showcase a blend of leather, aluminum cupholder trim, and micro-suede that create a modern yet inviting atmosphere. The custom leather interior on the 3LZ trim elevates the feeling of luxury, while the aluminum accents on cupholders and other touchpoints add a sporty sophistication without sacrificing practicality.

Functional design isn’t sacrificed for style: the Corvette’s driver-focused cockpit incorporates a dividing center console that clearly separates driver and passenger spaces, allowing you to feel fully connected to the vehicle without distractions. This console houses dual storage compartments—including a front trunk (frunk) and rear trunk—that provide surprisingly ample cargo space given the car’s performance orientation. With 13 cubic feet of cargo space overall, you can stow essentials for weekend getaways or supplies for outdoor activities around Prairie Grove or Farmington.

The control layout is intuitive, with climate controls repositioned directly under the infotainment screen and toggles replacing cluttered button rows, making it easier to keep your focus on the road. Additionally, USB-C charging ports are accessible near the passenger grab handle, enabling seamless device charging—keeping you connected whether navigating rural routes or city streets.

Technology Wrapped in Comfort
Comfort features extend beyond seating and materials. Leather-wrapped steering wheels come standard across trims, offering tilt and telescoping adjustments that help drivers of all sizes settle comfortably behind the wheel. Ambient lighting in cupholders adds a touch of finesse, particularly on the 2LT and 3LT trims, enhancing the interior ambiance when driving at night.

Convenience is furthered by key amenities such as remote engine start, push-button ignition, and remote keyless entry, which simplify daily routines. These features underscore the Corvette’s balance of performance and livability—ensuring your drive feels effortless from the moment you approach the vehicle.

Precision and Customization for Every Driver
The Corvette’s interior appeals to drivers who value both precision and personalization. The automatic transmission can be directly controlled via steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, granting a hands-on driving feel without the complexity of a manual gearbox. Alongside this, the available Memory Driver and Passenger Convenience package on 2LZ and above trims ensures that your interior preferences—from seat adjustments to mirror positions—are saved and effortlessly recalled.

Every Corvette assembled at the Bowling Green, Kentucky plant reflects General Motors’ commitment to craftsmanship, with attention to detail that owners will notice across textured surfaces, stitching, and trim finishes. This focus on driver-centric luxury complements the Corvette’s strong 490-hp or higher powertrains without compromising comfort or functionality.

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette puts safety at the forefront, offering a suite of driver assistance technologies designed to support confidence and control for all six trim levels: 1LT, 1LZ, 2LT, 2LZ, 3LT, and 3LZ. While prioritizing exhilarating performance with engines ranging from the 6.2L V8 in the 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT trims to the 5.5L V8 found in the 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ models, Chevrolet also integrates top-tier safety systems to help keep drivers and passengers secure on every drive.

At the heart of the Corvette's safety enhancements is a comprehensive set of features designed to actively reduce collision risks and enhance driver awareness. Across all trims, standard front and side airbags provide essential protection for both driver and passenger, combining with an advanced stability and traction control system to maintain vehicle composure through sharp turns or challenging road conditions. Rearview cameras are standard fleet-wide, delivering clear visibility when backing up, complemented by rear parking sensors that alert drivers to obstacles in tight spaces, making parking safer and less stressful.

Driving assistance technologies distinguish certain trims with additional capabilities that cater to more demanding driving environments and adapt to driver preferences.
