2021 Chevrolet Corvette review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette?

Not so much a redesign as a whole new interpretation of Chevrolet’s venerable sports car, the eighth-generation Corvette — which was all-new last year — is a mid-engine two-seater with a 490-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 engine and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Competitors include the Audi R8 and the Porsche 718 Cayman and 911

What’s New on the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette?

Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity is now standard, and the Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension is available without the Z51 Performance Package. Two new extra-cost colors are also available: Silver Flare Metallic and Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat. There’s also a new Sky Cool Gray/Strike Yellow interior color combination. 

What Features in the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Are Most Important?

  • Coupe and convertible body styles
  • Impressive performance for the money
  • Sub-3-second 0-60 mph time
  • 12-inch digital instrument panel
  • Front and rear luggage areas

Should I Buy the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette?

If you’re in the market for a two-seat sports car with a distinctive style and blistering performance, the Chevrolet Corvette deserves a spot on your shopping list. It’s not cheap, but it delivers a level of sophistication and performance that rivals competitors twice its price.

Great car

Great car to drive, fast and comfortable. Hard to get in and out of for me. Very good value and no problems after 7500 miles.

Great bang for the buck!
