The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray is rolling into GMSV dealerships, as the all-wheel drive hybrid supercar finally gets a local price.
Sitting between the base Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and high-performance Z06, the Corvette E-Ray is the first in the model’s history to adopt electrical assistance, with an electric motor driving the front wheels to supplement the 6.2-litre V8’s outputs.
Priced from $275,000 before on-road costs, the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray coupe is $85,000 more than the dearest fixed-roof Stingray, but $61,000 less than the Z06.
“The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray is possibly our most hotly anticipated model to date, and I can’t wait to see drivers across Australia and New Zealand behind the wheel of this tremendously engaging electrified Corvette,” said Jess Bala, GM’s local managing director.
“This is the best of Corvette today, paired with the brand’s exciting, electrified tomorrow, and it’s the kind of performance vehicle that needs to be driven to be believed. And that day is coming, and coming fast, for the people of Australia and New Zealand.”
Deliveries of the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray will begin shortly.
