Chevy Corvette Expected to Get New SUV Variety in 2025

As Ford has demonstrated with the Mustang Mach-E, expanding an iconic nameplate into a broader sub-brand can be a game-changer. Hot on the heels of Ford's success with the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV, rumors have been swirling about Chevy finally taking a similar leap with an SUV version of the legendary Corvette. Now, it's confirmed: Chevy is bringing a Corvette SUV to the market in the near future.

The Corvette SUV will be an all-new model for the Chevrolet lineup, expected to hit the market at some point in 2025. While the exact release date remains uncertain—partly due to the lack of concrete design patents or testing images—the anticipation is already building.

This new SUV will feature several notable changes from the classic Corvette design. Expect a few inches of increased ride height and the addition of extra doors, transforming the iconic, traditionally two-door sports car into a more versatile and family-friendly vehicle. 

While nothing has been confirmed, the rumored powertrain options for the Corvette SUV are poised to be impressive. For a compact-sized version, a turbocharged four-cylinder or a twin-turbo V6 could be under the hood. The mid-size variant is expected to house GM's powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine. This engine, already making waves in the larger Escalade V, delivers a staggering 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque, ensuring that the Corvette SUV lives up to its high-performance heritage.

Unlike the Mustang Mach-E, the Corvette SUV is not slated to feature an electric powertrain—at least not initially. This gas-exclusive model is designed to maintain the raw, powerful driving experience that Corvette enthusiasts have come to love.

Performance-wise, the Corvette SUV will not disappoint. With V8 power and the athletic Alpha platform likely, this SUV will be a formidable competitor in the high-performance SUV market. Key features are likely to include: all-wheel drive (AWD), an eight-speed automatic transmission, multiple terrain modes for versatile driving conditions and magnetic dampers for superior handling and ride comfort.

The 2025 Chevy Corvette SUV marks a bold and exciting expansion of the Corvette brand. By combining the legendary performance of the Corvette with the practicality and versatility of an SUV, Chevy is set to make a significant impact in the automotive world. As we eagerly await more details, one thing is clear: the Corvette SUV is set to be a game-changer, carrying forward the Corvette legacy into new territory.
