Overview

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 6 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $55,900. For that price, it mainly competes with the Infiniti Q60 RED SPORT 400, the BMW M4 Coupe, and the Lexus RC F. Between 6 trims, the Corvette Stingray offers a single powertrain. It is a 6.2L V8 making 455 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 7-speed manual transmission and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Having said that, the higher trims with the Z51 package make 460 horsepower with the same powertrain. The Corvette Stingray reaches 60 MPH from zero in 3.8 seconds on its base engine, which happens to be similar for the Z51 trims. The Corvette Stingray can manage a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 12 striking colors the Corvette Stingray comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

With six trims and two transmission options, we recommend the 2LT trim for its standard heated and ventilated front seats, driver seat memory, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear summer tires, etc. However, if you’re specifically looking for a car with an electronic limited-slip differential, a dual-performance exhaust system, 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, slotted brake rotors, etc, you’ll be happier with the Z51 w/2LT trim.
