Overview

An SUV wearing the Corvette name may seem out of the ordinary, but get ready for just such a ride to hit the market—as an EV no less—for the 2025 model year. A source inside General Motors told us that Chevrolet, after years of hesitation, is finally following many other sports-car makers by expanding its legendary Corvette sports-car brand to encompass vehicles beyond two-seaters. The company is in the midst of creating a new performance-focused EV subbrand that will include an SUV as well as a four-door sedan. The Corvette SUV will reportedly offer an 800-volt electrical system and high-revving electric motors powered by GM’s Ultium battery technology, which can charge at up to 350 kW. The SUV may not be the first Corvette nameplate to offer an electric powertrain though, as we know the company is also preparing an electrified version of the Corvette C8 sports car. When we learn more about the Corvette SUV, we’ll update this story with details.

What’s New for 2025?

The Corvette SUV will be an all-new model for the Chevrolet lineup when it goes on sale. We expect that it’s at least a few years away from becoming reality and expect to see it bow for the 2025 model year.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

A five-seat electric Corvette with ground clearance, cargo space, and serious go-fast performance will undoubtedly sell at a higher entry price than the base version of current mid-engine C8 sports car—though upper trims could reach into Z06 territory—but these estimated prices are merely stabs in the dark at this point. The Corvette SUV is still a few years off from production and we likely won’t know more about it until closer to its on-sale date.
