The 2026 model year for Corvette brings some exciting changes to America’s Favorite Sports Car, most notably the interior refresh which adds three screens to the driving experience, plus a new center console that eliminates the Great Wall of Buttons. We think Chevrolet did a fantastic job on the refresh, and the only question we had is what was this going to cost. Now that the 2026 Corvette pricing is out, we now have that answer.
Chevrolet now offers 22 different configurable trim levels for its four Corvettes: Stingray, E-Ray, Z06 and ZR1 and it looks like each level is getting a price increase. The base 1LT Corvette Stingray Coupe was $68,300 + $1,895 shipping for a total of $70,195. The new price will be $70,000 + $1,995 shipping for a total of $71,995 – an increase of $1,800. We see that same amount on the 1LZ E-Ray Coupe. For the Corvette Z06, the MSRP prices across the board are now $5,600 higher, and the new ZR1 is also getting an increase of $7,100 with the starting 3LZ Convertible MSRP now at $201,400. In addition to the MSRP of the model trim levels, we are also tracking changes to the delivery fee which went up another $100 to $1,995, and we’ve got the pricing for the various options as well.
2026 Corvette Stingray
• Coupe 1LT: $70,000
• Coupe 2LT: $77,100
• Coupe 3LT: $81,750
• Convertible 1LT: $77,000
• Convertible 2LT: $84,100
• Convertible 3LT: $88,750
2026 Corvette E-Ray
• Coupe 1LZ: $108,600
• Coupe 2LZ: $114,100
• Coupe 3LZ: $119,550
• Convertible 1LZ: $115,600
• Convertible 2LZ: $121,100
• Convertible 3LZ: $126,550

• Coupe 1LZ: $117,700
• Coupe 2LZ: $126,600
• Coupe 3LZ: $131,250
• Convertible 1LZ: $124,700
• Convertible 2LZ: $133,600
• Convertible 3LZ: $138,250
2026 Corvette ZR1
• Coupe 1LZ: $180,400
• Coupe 3LZ: $191,400
• Convertible 1LZ: $190,400
• Convertible 3LZ: $201,400
2026 Model Year Increases
• Stingray prices go up by $1,700 on all trims.
• E-Ray prices increased by $1,700 across the board.
• Z06 prices increased by $5,600 across the board.
• ZR1 prices increased by $7,100 across the board.
It looks like we are also getting some price increases on the Performance Packages. The Z51 Performance Package for Stingray and ZER for E-Ray are staying the same, but the Z07 Ultimate Performance Package is now up from $8,995 to $9,500 and the ZTK Performance Package on the ZR1 changes from $1,500 to $4,395. It still requires the Carbon Fiber Aero Package (TOM) but comes with the new J59 Alcon brake package.
Surprisingly, the carbon fiber aero for the Z06 remains the same price as 2025, but we do see the carbon ceramic J57 brakes are going from $8,495 to $9,000.
One of the new packages that we haven’t been briefed on are these new wheel and brake packages for the Z06. We are assuming this is a package that contains both the Carbon Fiber Wheels and Carbon Ceramic Brakes, as well as the Carbon Fiber Aero Package and Wheels priced together:
PDB: Z06 with ROY Carbon Fiber Wheel and Brake Package – $16,000
PDB: Z06 with ROZ Carbon Fiber Wheel and Brake Package – $17,000
PDB: Z06 with STZ Carbon Fiber Wheel and Brake Package – $17,500
PDD: Z07 Carbon Flash Aero and ROY Wheel Package – $24,995
PDD: Z07 Carbon Flash Aero and ROZ Wheel Package – $25,995
PDD: Z07 Carbon Flash Aero and STZ Wheel Pacakge – $26,495
PDF: Z07 Visible Carbon Aero and ROY Wheel Package – $25,995
PDF: Z07 Visible Carbon Aero and ROZ Wheel Package – $26,995
PDF: Z07 Visible Carbon Aero and STZ Wheel Package – $27,495
We are also looking for some of the new items for 2026. Roswell Green Metallic will cost $500. The Illuminated Cross Flags Badge (R88) is $495. The Electrochromic Roof Panel (CF8) will cost you $3,000 and it’s not available on 1LT/1LZ trims. The Asymmetrical mixed seats (AUP – driver gets Competition Sport Seats and passengers get GT2 seats) is only $250 but requires the HVZ Asymmetrical Adrenaline Red/Jet Black interior. The Carbon Fiber Display Hood (DY0) is $695.
Also of note is the Gas Guzzler Tax for both Z06 and ZR1. On the 2026 price list, it is listed at $0.00 with the note reading “TBD upon completion of testing.”
There were no prices listed for the upcoming 2026 Corvette ZR1X.
We’ll be spending some additional time on the price list and will list anything else that we see that has changed. Now, we just need the configurator and the 2026 model year will be open for business! Production of the 2026 model year is expected to start on Monday, August 4th.

Sales will be bad. 5+ thousand increase on Z06 across the board is egregious.
WOW – There’s an increase in all 2026 Corvettes base cost and options cost – without any Tariffs from Mexican and Canadian parts added to these sticker prices. Good job to Mary and Mark.
Several months ago when Trump decided to create a stupid Tax on Americans buying new cars and trucks, I created this chart of all four models of new 2025 Corvettes in both Coupe and Convertible to be prepared for the 2026 costs and tariffs when they are added.
When Keith lists all of these 2026 costs – you can see what the 2025 list of MSRP costs to compare just how much more each version of a great Corvette will cost before any future tariffs.
I use NADA.com to see both invoice and MSRP amounts on all options.

So, have fun designing how your new 2026 Corvette will look like and costs now before tariffs are added soon. Looks like I’m playing Mega Millions tonight.
Thanks a million Keith!
You’re one of the best sources for up to the minute news for Corvette.
Speaking of million. These price increases are growing exponentially… It shouldn’t take too long for the top of the line Corvette to reach the “Million Dollar Mark”. I’ve never see such a mid-model price increase.
Probably will not help the diasterous used C8 market.
Should make the used c8,s worth more in the long run..

“Stupid tax”🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Obtain an education on world trade.
Keep supporting China as they direct a silent economic war against us as well as pointing their military might at the US.
I guess you dont support fair trade.
Short term pain, long term gain.
Have a n ice day
DP nailed it,Jeffery Thomas has too much time on his hands and not enough common sense brain cells.
Well that’s gonna push the MSRP of a 3LZ Convertible ZR1X to 220k.
