Few cars have compelled popular imagination quite like the Chevy Corvette Stingray. Since 1953, Chevy has offered a new Corvette every year (except for a one-year break in 1983), and one of its most famous iterations is the Stingray. First introduced for the 1963 model year, the Stingray had an all-fiberglass body, an independent suspension, and a sleek design that makes it look like it’s speeding even when it’s just sitting in your driveway.

The biggest change to the model came in 2020, with the eighth-generation Corvette now featuring a mid-engine supercar design. The latest iteration is the 2025 Chevy Corvette Stingray, which promises to take drivers with a need for speed and style to the next level. If you are one of these drivers, then you should stop by our dealership for an excellent selection of Corvette models. McCluskey Chevrolet is an authorized Chevy dealership, which means we can procure you a 2025 Corvette Stingray that has all of the features you desire.

Two Brand-New Colors

Each year, Chevy makes a number of changes to the Corvette Stingray. The key is to keep the model fresh by adding features, options, and even alterations to its appearance; in this way, a Corvette enthusiast can get something special each time they buy a new Stingray.

This year, the Corvette Stingray will feature three distinct exterior paint options. The very popular Sebring Orange Tintcoat Metallic hue returns for another season, joined by two new color options. Competitive Yellow Tintcoat Metallic brings a bright and sunny appearance to the 2025 Corvette Stingray, making every day look like your sports car is basking in the warm California sun. The other is the truly wild Hysteria Purple Metallic; similar to a deep indigo with violet undertones, this color will make your Corvette Stingray stand out with a unique color rarely seen in other supercars. You can also opt for Velocity Yellow brake calipers instead of the usual red or black.

The appearance options continue to the interior of this model. Drivers get a choice of a blue stitch pattern on a black interior or a new spicy Habanero interior fabric that will contrast well with whichever of the three exterior paint options you choose. The bucket seats on the Corvette Stingray will give you and your passenger a great deal of comfort and support, especially as you push your car to the limit. Chevy has also made a leather steering wheel airbag cover standard on all Stingray models, regardless of whether you choose a coupe or convertible configuration; this not only looks sporty but will be more comfortable when you’re handling the steering wheel.

Two Performance Platforms

Since moving to a mid-engine design on the Corvette Stingray, Chevy has offered drivers two options for its 6.2-liter V8. If you opt for a 1LT, 2LT, or 3LT trim, you will get an exceptionally fast, naturally aspirated, pushrod V8 gas engine. Choosing the available Z51 Performance package will boost your output even further; in addition, this package includes a new spoiler designed to reduce air resistance.

Every 2025 Corvette Stingray model comes with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and standard rear-wheel drive to improve acceleration and fuel economy. The dual-clutch transmission features steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, allowing you to emulate a manual transmission’s performance without having to hassle with a stick shift and clutch pedal.

The engine has a single overhead camshaft configuration with two valves per cylinder; as a result, you get 16 valves in all. The engine and block are both aluminum, with direct fuel injection. The standard version of the engine provides up to 490 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque; opting for the Z51 package increases this to 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.

Aside from pricing and the new spoiler, the Z51 will improve overall performance. With the standard version of the 6.2-liter V8, you should be able to get your Stingray from zero to sixty in a very impressive 3.3 seconds; opting to add the Z51 package will reduce this to a blistering 2.8 seconds. Either way, in choosing a 2025 Corvette Stingray, you are getting the kind of design and performance you only see in more expensive supercars; this is why the Corvette Stingray may be the most affordable model that is built for speed and exceptional handling.

Exceptional Technology

One thing that stands out about the current Corvette Stingray is the advanced technology that comes equipped on each model. Each 2025 Corvette features a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system with an 8-inch touchscreen; this is set into the center dashboard, canted to the driver so you can easily access the features without having to disturb your position in your cockpit.

In keeping with the clean design of the two-seat coupe interior of the Corvette Stingray, Chevy allows you to connect your smartphones to the infotainment system without relying on charging cables. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (as well as Bluetooth connectivity) make it easy to make hands-free calls and texts, especially if you leave the charger at home. In addition, keeping your phones charged won’t be a problem with a charging pad that comes standard on all trims from the 2LT and up; this is a nice perk to have, as traveling can drain the batteries on most data-engaged smartphones rather quickly.

One other wonderful benefit of the 2025 Chevy Corvette Stingray is the sound system. Each model features a sound system designed by Bose to give you the ultimate in audio performance. The 1LT trim has a 10-speaker Bose Premium audio system with black speaker grilles. The 2LT, 3LT, and Z51 trims come with a Bose Performance Series audio system, which features 14 speakers, each with stainless steel speaker grilles.

No matter which one you pick, it is almost certain that you and your passenger may get into an argument over what to listen to as you cruise down the highway. Still, no matter which kind of music you prefer, you will probably find that it never sounded better than it was as the soundtrack to your latest adventure in your 2025 Chevy Corvette Stingray.
