Not content to drop just one piece of news, this morning Chevrolet reveals the official MSRP pricing of the 2020 Corvette Stingray as well as the fact that it will do 194 mph top speed as tested.
That, my friends, is Chevrolet keeping their promise of being true to the Corvette heritage. It’s all about offering attainable performance and a great exotic sports car design for the everyday American car buyer.
Here’s a quick look at the official prices Chevrolet has included in the press release, and then we’ll get into what each package comes with so that you can best determine what you want (or on the flip side, which options you can live without).
The 2020 Corvette Stingray:
| PACKAGE/OPTION | PRICE |
| 1LT | $59,995 |
| 2LT | $67,295 |
| 3LT | $71,945 |
| Z51 Performance Package | $5,000 |
| NPP Performance Exhaust | $1,195 |
| Front Lift System | $1,495 |
The pricing that’s shown on the three different packages INCLUDES the $1,095 Destination Charge. So in reality, the real base price of the car is $58,900. A couple of commenters have said that pricing doesn’t include the destination charges, but it clearly says so here on the 2020 Corvette Stingray Pricing Guide.
I think the biggest surprise for us is the fact that the 2LT trim package which has always been the sweet spot is now showing an increase of over $3,000 from the C7’s 2LT price. Granted, there is a lot of great technology offered but at $7,300, we may have more than a few opting for the 1LT, especially if the Z51 package is a must-have box that must be checked!
Speaking of the Z51, that package price remains the same as the C7’s price and includes bigger brakes, a manually adjustable suspension and more. Well done, Chevy!!
There’s still a lot of unanswered questions including pricing for the various exterior trim, the interior carbon fiber package, optional wheels and more. FYI, all options pricing has been added below.
So now let’s dive in and take a look at the various standard and optional equipment that’s included in each of the three trim packages as well as the Z51 Performance Package.

Chevrolet will unquestionably sell every single 2020 C8 they can produce!!! Hopefully, the C8’s reliability will equal its high levels of performance. For under $80K with some great options…what manufacturer can compete with this car?
90’s ZR1 Prices,unbelievable !
Although a great base price (as was the C7), no enthusiast can live without the 2LT/Z51 packages. Therefore a $75K car out the door. Still, in line with a similarly equipped C7. Kudos to GM.
I agree with Kenneth. The 2LT/Z51 remains the sweet spot.
Just a remarkable job done by Chevy engineers and bean counters. Can’t wait to see the performance testing.
Also agree with Kenneth & KT.
The C7’s 2LT package did not include the PDR and Navi, among other features, which easily justify the price jump.
why aren’t there any real rebates on the current C7 with this aggressive pricing for the C8?
Your pricing information is not correct. The prices that you have stated for the 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT DO NOT include the Destination Charge. This is made very clear by the Price Guide that was released by Chevrolet today!
A few minutes ago I sent you a message stating that your pricing for the new 2020 Chevrolet Corvette was incorrect, for your pricing said it included Destination Charge. When the official Pricing Guide was released early this morning, a footnote made it very clear that the destination charge was not included in your numbers. It now appears, however, that the footnote was in error, for the footnote has since been change. Hence, your prices are correct. Sorry for the confusion, but Chevrolet screwed up early this morning. In fact, the footnote this morning took me to a page where estimation charges were listed for many Chevrolet vehicles.
Oops. “Destination Charges,” not “estimation charges.”
194 mph requires a Z rated tire. Did Michelin develop a new tire because I could only find Y rated?
I would have prefered the Magnetic Ride Control, in the Z51 pkg, rather than the PDR. I would seldom use it, but the Mag Cntrl is every day. JMHO.
From the Chevrolet press release: “The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray offers unprecedented performance at a starting price of $59,995 (including Destination Freight Charge of $1,095, excluding tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment).” The 2LT and 3LT prices shown also include the $1,095 DFC – Keith
This is definitely happening. I’ll probably pick up a 2021 in 2023. I’m the meantime, my C7 will have to wear the “8TH SIN” license plate until I pick up the new one.
