Your Upcoming Corvette Will Be Priced Thousands Higher for 2026 | Carscoops
Prices for the C8 Corvette lineup are set to increase across the board, particularly for the more premium versions.
The price hike spans the entire Corvette lineup, with the Stingray seeing an increase of $1,800. Aside from a new interior, there have not been any significant changes to the 2026 models.
The top-of-the-line 2026 Corvette ZR1 Convertible 3LZ now starts at a significant $201,400.
With the 2026 version of the C8 Corvette featuring an updated interior, an increase in prices was almost guaranteed. Recent information indicates that every variant of the C8 lineup, including the Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1, is now more expensive, with some trims rising by over $7,000.
Although most prices for the 2026 Corvette are available, Chevrolet has yet to disclose the pricing for the high-performance ZR1X.
The base Stingray Coupe 1LT now starts at $71,995, up from $70,195, as reported by CorvetteBlogger. Of the $1,800 increase, $1,700 results from the adjusted MSRP, while the additional $100 reflects a higher destination fee, now set at $1,995.
Additionally, the Stingray Coupe 2LT is now priced starting at $77,100, and the Coupe 3LT has a minimum price of $81,750. Prices for the Stingray Convertible have also risen, with the 1LT priced at $77,000, the 2LT at $84,100, and the 3LT at $88,750.
Chevrolet has raised prices for all E-Ray models, including both Coupe and Convertible versions, by $1,700. The Coupe 1LZ begins at $108,600, while the flagship Convertible 3LZ is priced at $126,550. It is not surprising that the 2026 Corvette Z06 and ZR1 experienced the most significant price increases.
Regarding the Z06 and ZR1:
The updated Z06 Coupe 1LZ now starts at $117,700, which is $5,600 more than the 2025 model. The Coupe 2LZ, Coupe 3LZ, Convertible 1LZ, Convertible 2LZ, and Convertible 3LZ models have also seen price increases of $5,600.
As for the 2026 ZR1, it is reported to start at $180,400, or $7,100 more than the 2025 model. The highest-priced version, the Convertible 3LZ, is now available at $201,400. The 2026 model remains largely the same as the short-lived 2025 version, but it does come with the updated interior. It can also be fitted with the newly available 10-piston brake calipers if buyers choose both the $4,395 ZTK Package and the $8,495 Carbon Fiber Aero Package.
