You’ll Need To Dig Deeper In Your Pocket For The 2026 Corvette

  • Price hikes affect the entire Corvette range, with the Stingray being up $1,800.
  • Beyond a new interior, no other major changes were made to the 2026 lineup.
  • The flagship 2026 Corvette ZR1 Convertible 3LZ now starts at a hefty $201,400.

As the C8 Corvette lineup gets a refreshed interior for 2026, a bump in prices was all but certain to follow. Newly released info shows that the entire C8 range is now more expensive, including the Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1 models, with some trims going up by over $7,000.

While most 2026 Corvette prices are now public, Chevrolet is still keeping quiet about the cost of the high-performance ZR1X.

The base Stingray Coupe 1LT starts from $71,995, up from $70,195, as noted by CorvetteBlogger. Of the $1,800 increase, $1,700 comes from the adjusted MSRP, while the remaining $100 reflects a higher destination fee, now set at $1,995.

Elsewhere, the Stingray Coupe 2LT is now priced from $77,100, while you won’t be able to find a Coupe 3LT for less than $81,750. Prices have also increased for the Stingray Convertible, at $77,000 for the 1LT, $84,100 for the 2LT, and $88,750 for the 3LT.

Chevrolet also increased prices for all E-Ray models, including the Coupe and Convertible, by $1,700. Prices start at $108,600 for the Coupe 1LZ and top out at $126,550 for the flagship Convertible 3LZ. Unsurprisingly, the 2026 Corvette Z06 and ZR1 saw their prices get pumped up the most.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

Mercedes Vows To Keep Making Gas-Powered G-Wagens As Long As You Want Them

Image
This comes shortly after Mercedes unveiled the quad-motor, electric G580 EQ. Mercedes now sells six-cylinder, eight-cylinder, and electric versions of the G-Wagen. If customers still want V8s, Mercedes will continue to build them. Few vehicles have withstood the test of time quite like the G-Class. In fact, Mercedes-Benz revealed that an impressive 80% of all G-Classes ever produced are still actively on the road today. That’s an impressive feat considering that the rugged off-roader has been in production for nearly have a century, since 1979. The iconic G-Wagen recently ventured into a new era with the launch of the all-electric G580 EQ. However, it will likely be many decades before electric Gs become the sole version still running.
