2025 Chevy Corvette SUV Preview

While not many people were holding their breath for it, a Corvette SUV will be released in the near future, potentially as a 2025 model. Not much yet is known about the upcoming sport SUV but speculation abounds. With the Lamborghini Urus being such a successful model for the Italian company it seems a no brainer to test run a Corvette SUV, it will depend a lot on public reception. The Mustang Mach-e was very negatively received at large by sport car enthusiasts, so it will be interesting to see if that was simply for the electric powertrain or for the change to a crossover body style.

Key Takeaways

• The Corvette SUV will at the earliest be introduced in late 2024 or early 2025 as a 2025 model year vehicle, or sometime in 2025 as a 2026 model year vehicle.
• The upcoming vehicle has no cost associated with it yet, but we believe it will start around $70,000, and it will largely depend on the size of the SUV and the size of the engine.
• Power numbers for the upcoming sports SUV have yet to be released but it should be somewhere between 450 horsepower to 550 horsepower if Chevrolet uses some of the engine platforms already available to them.

Are they coming out with a Corvette SUV?

Yes, Chevrolet will be making a Corvette SUV, it is reported to be coming out in 2025 and will aim to compete against vehicles like the Porsche Macan, and the BMW X series M models. The Corvette has recently been making headlines with its switch to becoming a mid engine vehicle, and offering speeds, maneuverability and a high end driving experience just like much higher priced luxury sports cars.

With the rise in sales of the Corvette and the increasing popularity of sports style SUVs, Chevrolet is smart to enter the segment and to test out the market with a Corvette SUV. This fast SUV is most likely to be offered in one body style for the first few years, but may branch out depending on how sales go within the first few years. This is because both Porsche and BMW offer a compact and a standard sport SUV option.

While other automobile manufacturers have decided to enter a similar segment with an electric offering, such as a Tesla Model X Plaid or the Mustang Mach-e Rally. Many believed that Chevrolet would do something similar with the Camaro eventually returning with electric motors as opposed to an ICE. The Corvette SUV will be using a gas engine for now, but could potentially be offered with an electric engine in the future.

How much does a 2025 Corvette SUV Cost?

The pricing for the 2025 Corvette SUV has not yet been released but Car and Driver estimates that the vehicle will start around $60,000 and climb to somewhere around $80,000. This estimate is a fairly safe one, however if we were to guess we might make it a bit higher, as the Corvette itself starts around $70,000. The SUV could cost more as it simply is a larger vehicle, with more materials needed to make it.

Beyond just requiring more material, the new SUV is reportedly using the same platform that the Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwings use. The CT4 version starts around $66,000 and the CT5 version starts around $96,000. These sedans run either a twin turbo V6 or a supercharged v8 while the Corvette itself runs a 6.2 liter V8. We hope the Corvette SUV runs a similar sized engine, unless Chevrolet aims to offer a weaker powered option as a first offering to judge interest.

If the Corvette SUV offers a similar powered engine to the Corvette, we imagine the price will start at around $70,000 or higher, and climb to around $100,000 on the high end of the trim offerings. If Chevrolet chooses to offer a lower powered engine, it might start closer to $60,000.

How much horsepower does the 2025 Corvette SUV have?

It is unknown how much horsepower the 2025 Corvette SUV will have. Corvette has yet to debut the Corvette SUV and what engine will be powering the vehicle. The Corvette SUV will likely receive a twin turbo V6 engine or the 6.2 liter V8 that powers a variety of their vehicles including the Corvette, Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, and the Escalade.

We hope that if the SUV receives this engine that it gets the supercharged variant that resides under the Escalade and makes 682 horsepower for that massive SUV. Getting a 682 horsepower engine into a lighter frame would make the Corvette SUV a very fun car to drive. This would be the high end of the possible horsepower for the Corvette SUV.

Currently the Corvette makes for 495 horsepower out of a 6.2 liter V8 engine. The CT4-V Blackwing has a 3.6 liter V-6 that produces 472 horsepower. Most likely the Corvette SUV will fall somewhere close to the 475 to 500 horsepower, but it could potentially go up to 550 horsepower.

Summary

The Corvette SUV is going to be a great offering and we are excited to have it on the lot and take it out for test drives. This will be an interesting car to see, especially with how so many were taken aback by the Mustang Mach-e. Will the Corvette SUV be a hit or will it be a flop? The Corvette SUV is going to make waves no matter what, and we are excited to see it out on the road.
