It's finally happening! After decades of Corvettes and Porsches battling it out for the sports car crown, Chevrolet is taking the fight to Stuttgart's high-performing SUVs. Chevrolet is using it's iconic Corvette brand to launch a subbrand of performance sport-utility vehicles. This move should come as no surprise – Porsche's Macan and Cayenne continue to bring in major profits, and it makes sense that Chevy wants a piece of the action.
The Corvette SUV will be built on the Alpha platform, a platform that has already been used to create the Camaro and the impressive Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwings. This platform suggests that the Corvette SUV will come in two sizes and will be a blast to take out on the roads. On the powertrain front, expect to see a 300+ hp turbo four engine as the base option and a twin-turbo V-6 with 400 hp or so for the top-end model. Additionally, higher trims will have a 6.2-liter V-8 with nearly 500 hp. All models will come with all-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission as standard, with magnetorheological dampers being an add-on option.
For those looking for ultimate performance, the Corvette SUV lineup will have a Z0-something option. With a supercharged 682 hp 6.2-liter V-8, carbon-ceramic brakes and tires as wide as the Mississippi, this model will be sure to turn heads. Plus, the price will be tens of thousands of dollars lower than the competition!
Chevrolet is set to reveal the Corvette SUV later this year, with the SUV reaching dealerships in the second half of 2024. Prices are estimated to start at around $60,000.
