The 2026 Corvette Stingray lineup spans six announced trims across two body styles, with MSRPs drawn directly from catalog pricing. The Stingray Coupe 1LT opens the lineup at $70,000, while the Stingray Coupe 3LT reaches $81,750. Convertible models carry a premium: the Stingray Convertible 1LT is priced at $77,000, the Convertible 2LT at $84,100, and the Convertible 3LT at $88,750.

A destination charge of $2,495 applies to all trims. MSRPs shown are base figures before options, packages, or dealer-installed accessories. Pricing is subject to change as the vehicle moves toward final on-sale status.

Because the Corvette holds its value exceptionally well, shoppers curious about trading in a current vehicle can get an estimate on their trade-in value before visiting. Buyers looking for a more immediate entry point may also want to browse our pre-owned sports car inventory at Chevrolet Of Wooster for certified and pre-owned options at different price points.

Ongoing ownership costs are straightforward: the Corvette requires premium unleaded fuel (minimum 91 octane), and the 18.5-gallon tank provides a calculated EPA range of 352 miles per fill — enough to cover a round trip from Wooster to Columbus and back with fuel to spare.

At 184.6 inches long, 79.7 inches wide, and just 48.6 inches tall, the 2026 Corvette Stingray cuts a genuinely low, wide silhouette that draws attention whether parked near the Wayne County Courthouse or cruising past Wooster's historic brick storefronts. The mid-engine architecture pushes the cabin forward and the hood low, creating the kind of proportions that make European sports cars cost twice as much to achieve.

Exterior color choices include Arctic White, Black, Torch Red, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, Riptide Blue Metallic, Sebring Orange Tintcoat, Hysteria Purple Metallic, Roswell Green Metallic, Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic, and Blade Silver Metallic — a palette wide enough to suit understated professionals and those who want to make a statement at a downtown gallery opening alike.

Projector-beam LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, LED side indicators, LED rear lights, and LED brake lights give the car a distinctive signature day or night. Flush door handles maintain the clean aerodynamic lines. Staggered alloy wheels — 19-inch fronts (8.5 inches wide) and 20-inch rears (11 inches wide)— fill the arches with proper visual weight.

The Coupe uses a removable hardtop panel with a glass rear window, while the Convertible features a power-folding hardtop with electric operation and a concealed rollover protection system that deploys automatically if needed. Both body styles share the same 107.2-inch wheelbase and overall footprint.

Every 2026 Corvette Stingray uses the naturally aspirated 6.2L LT2 V8 and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Standard output is 490 hp and 465 lb-ft; the available performance exhaust raises output to 495 hp and 470 lb-ft. Power goes to the rear wheels.

The suspension uses independent double-wishbone geometry front and rear with coil springs and stabilizer bars at both ends — a setup that delivers composed behavior on Wooster's maintained city streets while remaining genuinely communicative on the gently rolling rural roads that connect the area to Smithville and beyond. Electronic traction control and stability control are standard across the lineup.

The optional Z51 Performance Package adds a performance suspension, Brembo brakes, electronic limited-slip differential, performance exhaust, rear axle ratio, front splitter and rear spoiler, summer-only tires, and heavy-duty cooling. Because its exhaust increases output to 495 hp and 470 lb-ft, the package also changes the Stingray’s rated power.

Driver modes allow adjustment of engine mapping and steering weight, letting the same car feel relaxed on a Tuesday commute and genuinely alert on a Saturday morning run through the Allegheny Plateau terrain. Launch control is also available, enabling repeatable, consistent standing starts.

Two seats. That is the intentional trade-off the Corvette asks of its buyers, and it is worth understanding exactly what those two occupants receive in return. The driver's bucket seat on the 1LT trims offers 4-way electric adjustment (height, reach, recline, tilt). Step up to the 2LT or 3LT and both front seats gain 6-way electric adjustment with memory positioning for height, reach, recline, and tilt — plus heated and ventilated functionality and electric lumbar support. The 3LT adds sport seat designation for both driver and passenger.

Interior passenger dimensions are genuinely comfortable for two adults: 42.8 inches of front leg room, 37.9 inches of front headroom, 54.4 inches of shoulder room, and 52 inches of hip room. The full-length floor console runs between both seats and includes front cup holders and a dashboard console storage area.

Cargo capacity is about 13 cu ft— enough for a weekend bag, hiking gear for a day at Secrest Arboretum, or a haul from a local farmers market. The Convertible adds a front trunk (frunk) space as well, giving open-air buyers practical dual-storage access.

Climate control is dual-zone automatic on all trims, with touch-screen controls and passenger-side independent settings. The 2LT and 3LT add a garage door opener and memorized steering wheel position as standard.

Owners who want to keep their Corvette looking its best long-term can request genuine Chevrolet accessories and parts directly through Chevrolet Of Wooster.

A common assumption about sports cars is that safety technology takes a back seat to performance. The 2026 Corvette Stingray corrects that assumption directly.

Every trim — including the base Stingray Coupe 1LT and Convertible 1LT — comes standard with a meaningful suite of active safety systems. Automatic Emergency Braking activates from as low as 5 mph, covering low-speed urban scenarios as well as higher-speed situations. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning monitors lane position and applies corrective steering input when drift is detected. Emergency call capability and advanced automatic collision notification via OnStar are standard across the lineup.

The passive safety structure includes 4 airbags— dual front airbags for driver and passenger, plus front side airbags — along with integrated front head restraints (2 total) and pre-tensioning front seat belts for both occupants. Four ventilated disc brakes with ABS, a brake assist system, and electronic auto-hold parking brake are standard.

The 2LT and 3LT trims add two meaningful upgrades over the 1LT:

• Side Blind Zone Alert— uses radar to monitor the blind spot zones and warns the driver when a vehicle is detected alongside during lane changes
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert(radar-based) — warns the driver of approaching cross traffic when reversing out of a parking space

For drivers navigating Wooster's mix of downtown intersections and rural routes, the 2LT's addition of Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert provides a meaningful safety step up that is worth factoring into the trim decision.

Choosing between six trims across two body styles is simpler when you understand what each level actually adds. Here is a practical breakdown of how the trims ladder up, using catalog pricing and confirmed feature differences.

Coupe trims start at $70,000 (1LT), $77,100 (2LT), and $81,750 (3LT). Convertible trims start at $77,000 (1LT), $84,100 (2LT), and $88,750 (3LT). The convertible premium runs approximately $7,000 across all three trim levels.

The 1LT is the entry point and includes the full 490 hp V8, 8-speed DCT, Bose 10-speaker audio, 14-inch instrument cluster, 12.7-inch infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, wireless charging, dual-zone climate, Rear Park Assist with camera and sensors, OnStar Basics, and Keyless Open and Start. Interior upholstery options include Jet Black Performance Textile or Mulan Leather with perforated inserts in Jet Black, Sky Cool Gray, or Adrenaline Red. Curb weight on the Coupe 1LT is 3,366 lbs; on the Convertible 1LT it is 3,467 lbs.

The 2LT upgrades to a 14-speaker Bose system, adds the head-up display, heated and ventilated seats, 6-way power seats with memory, electric lumbar, garage door opener, memorized mirror and steering wheel positions, Side Blind Zone Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Interior choices expand significantly to include Napa Leather with perforated inserts in multiple colors, plus sueded microfiber insert combinations. The Stealth Interior Trim Package (dark finish aluminum) is available on the 2LT.

The 3LT wraps the cabin in premium leather on the instrument panel and center console in addition to the doors, adds sport seat designation, luxury inner roof upholstery on the Convertible, and opens up the widest interior color palette — including Habanero, Adrenaline Red Dipped, and Natural Dipped Napa Leather options exclusive to this tier. The Stars & Steel Limited Edition package (colored seat belts, painted calipers, blacked-out exhaust) is available only on the 3LT.

For most Wooster-area buyers who want the full modern safety suite and the upgraded audio experience, the 2LT in either body style represents the most complete value step — delivering every meaningful technology and safety upgrade without the 3LT's interior luxury premium.

The 2026 Corvette Stingray comes backed by a comprehensive warranty structure that gives buyers genuine long-term peace of mind.

The powertrain warranty extends to 5 years / 60,000 miles— meaningful coverage for the 6.2L V8 and dual-clutch transmission. Roadside assistance runs concurrently with the powertrain warranty, so if anything unexpected happens on a drive through rural Wayne County, Chevrolet roadside assistance is available for the first five years of ownership.

The 24-month / 24,000-mile full-service coverage handles scheduled maintenance during the early ownership period. For anything beyond that window, the team at Chevrolet Of Wooster is ready to keep your Corvette in peak condition. You can easily book a service appointment online at a time that fits your schedule — no phone call required.

Over-the-air software updates mean many system improvements arrive automatically, reducing the need for dealer visits to address software-related items.
