TL;DR: Chevrolet has completely redesigned the 2027 Silverado 1500, introducing two next-generation small-block V8 engines, updated turbocharged and Duramax diesel powertrains, refreshed exterior styling, and a significantly upgraded interior. Highlights include a standard 16.3-inch infotainment screen, a 12.2-inch driver information center, new safety features, and expanded Super Cruise availability. The redesigned lineup also includes seven trims, from the work-focused WT to the off-road-ready ZR2 and premium High Country. For truck shoppers around Burien and Seattle, the 2027 Silverado brings new options for work, towing, outdoor recreation, and everyday driving. The Chevrolet Silverado has long been a popular choice for drivers who need a pickup that can handle demanding jobs while remaining comfortable enough for everyday use. For 2027, Chevrolet is making a major investment in that formula. The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has been completely redesigned, with new engines, updated exterior styling, a more technology-focused cabin, and additional standard driver-assistance features. For drivers in Burien, Seattle, and throughout the Puget Sound region, these changes are worth a closer look. Whether you're hauling equipment to a job site, towing a boat toward the Sound, heading over the Cascades, or looking for a full-size truck that can handle both work and family responsibilities, the new Silverado offers several configurations to consider. Here's what Chevrolet has announced for the 2027 model year. What's New on the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? The 2027 Silverado brings significant updates across nearly every part of the truck. Chevrolet's redesign includes: Two next-generation small-block V8 engines: New 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 options. Updated turbocharged engine: The 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gains 40 horsepower and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Available Duramax diesel: The 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel offers up to 495 lb-ft of torque and a maximum available tow rating of 12,000 pounds in a properly equipped configuration. Updated exterior styling: Redesigned LED headlights and taillights, revised wheel wells, and three new exterior colors. Larger standard displays: A 16.3-inch center infotainment screen and 12.2-inch driver information center. New interior options: An available 11.5-inch front passenger screen, panoramic sunroof, dual wireless charging, and reconfigurable Multi-Flex center console. Expanded safety technology: Four additional features join the standard safety and driver-assistance suite. More Super Cruise availability: The hands-free driver assistance technology is standard on High Country and ZR2 and available on Silverado and Trail Boss trims. These changes make the 2027 Silverado more than a styling refresh. Chevrolet is updating the truck's powertrain choices, cabin experience, and technology to give shoppers more reasons to compare the new generation. New 5.7L and 6.6L V8 Engines: A New Generation of Small-Block Power One of the biggest announcements for 2027 is the introduction of two next-generation small-block V8 engines. The new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8s replace the previous 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8 options. Chevrolet has not included complete horsepower and torque specifications for the new V8 engines in this announcement, but their introduction marks a major change to the Silverado's traditional gas-powered lineup. For truck shoppers who prefer the sound and character of a V8, these new engines are an important part of the redesigned Silverado story. The 2.7L Turbocharged Engine Also Gets an Upgrade Drivers who don't necessarily need a V8 will also find changes under the hood. Chevrolet's 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine receives: 40 additional horsepower. A new 10-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous eight-speed. This gives buyers another powertrain option to consider when balancing everyday driving, capability, and their preferred engine configuration. Available 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel For drivers who prioritize diesel torque and towing capability, the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel remains available. Chevrolet lists: Maximum available torque: 495 lb-ft. Maximum available towing capacity: Up to 12,000 pounds in a properly equipped configuration. That maximum towing figure requires a Silverado Crew Cab Short Bed 4WD with the available Max Trailering Package and Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine. A More Technology-Focused Silverado Interior The 2027 Silverado's cabin receives one of the most noticeable upgrades. Chevrolet is making larger digital displays standard across the lineup, while adding several new available convenience features. Larger standard displays Every 2027 Silverado includes: 16.3-inch center infotainment screen 12.2-inch Driver Information Center An available 11.5-inch front passenger screen adds another digital display option for the cabin. The larger screens give drivers and passengers a more modern interface for accessing vehicle information and compatible infotainment features. New comfort and convenience options Chevrolet is also introducing several features to the Silverado for the first time: Available panoramic sunroof: Adds an open-air feeling to the cabin. Available dual wireless charging: Provides charging convenience for compatible devices. Available Multi-Flex center console: A reconfigurable design that adds flexibility to the front cabin. Available front passenger display: Gives the passenger a dedicated screen. For drivers who spend long hours behind the wheel, these updates add another dimension to the Silverado experience. Whether you're commuting through Seattle traffic or spending a full day traveling between job sites, a more thoughtfully equipped cabin can make a difference. Updated Silverado Exterior Styling and Three New Colors The 2027 Silverado also gets a refreshed exterior. Chevrolet has redesigned the LED headlights and taillights and updated the wheel-well design to provide additional clearance for larger tires. An available Chrome Exterior package is also new for 2027, adding chrome front and rear bumpers. The result is a truck lineup with more ways to personalize the Silverado, whether you prefer a bold color, a traditional chrome appearance, or the more aggressive look of an off-road trim. More Standard Safety Features for 2027 Chevrolet is adding four features to the Silverado's standard safety and driver-assistance suite: Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking Side Bicyclist Alert Reverse Automatic Braking These technologies are designed to provide alerts or assistance in certain driving situations, including intersections, when pedestrians or cyclists may be present, and while backing up. For drivers navigating busy streets, parking lots, and traffic around Burien and Seattle, these features add another layer of driver assistance. It's important to remember that safety and driver-assistance technologies do not replace attentive driving. Drivers remain responsible for monitoring traffic, surroundings, and road conditions, and feature performance can vary with weather and visibility. Super Cruise Expands Across the Silverado Lineup Another significant technology update is the expanded availability of Chevrolet Super Cruise. Super Cruise is Chevrolet's hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads. For 2027, its availability expands across more Silverado trims. Silverado trim Super Cruise availability Work Truck (WT) Not listed in the announcement Custom Not listed in the announcement Silverado (LT/Z71) Available Custom Trail Boss Not listed in the announcement Trail Boss Available ZR2 Standard, with three years of OnStar One High Country Standard, with three years of OnStar One Super Cruise can be particularly interesting for drivers who frequently travel longer distances on compatible highways. It is designed to help with certain driving tasks while the driver remains attentive and ready to take control. The system requires an active Super Cruise plan or trial, and compatible-road coverage varies. After the initial three-year period included on High Country and ZR2, a paid OnStar Super Cruise plan is required. 2027 Chevy Silverado Trim Levels Explained Chevrolet's 2027 Silverado lineup includes seven trims, each designed around a different type of truck buyer. 1. Silverado WT: Work Truck The WT is designed for task-focused drivers, including commercial operators and fleet customers.

TL;DR: Chevrolet is refreshing two of its most affordable SUVs for 2027: the Chevy Trax and Chevy Trailblazer. Both receive updated styling, larger standard displays, Google built-in with Gemini compatibility, and more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features. The all-new Trailblazer Z71 adds standard all-wheel drive (AWD), an off-road-tuned suspension, an underbody skid plate, and sport-terrain tires. The updated models are scheduled to be available to order in February 2027. If you're shopping for a small SUV that combines everyday practicality with modern technology, Chevrolet has some noteworthy updates coming. The 2027 Chevrolet Trax and Trailblazer are getting refreshed designs, upgraded interiors, and additional standard safety technology. For drivers around Burien, Seattle, and the greater Puget Sound region, these updates offer two different approaches to small-SUV ownership: the stylish, front-wheel-drive Trax and the more versatile Trailblazer, including its new adventure-oriented Z71 trim. What's New for the 2027 Chevy Trax and Trailblazer? Chevrolet announced several major updates for both SUVs, focusing on technology, safety, styling, and convenience. Highlights include: More than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features, including new braking and parking-assistance technologies. Larger standard displays: an 11-inch-diagonal driver information center and an 11.3-inch-diagonal infotainment screen. Google built-in with Gemini compatibility for an upgraded in-vehicle technology experience. A new Storm Sky Gray interior color, introduced on both models. Updated exterior styling with redesigned details. New convenience features, including an available power liftgate for the Trax and an available AutoSense power liftgate for the Trailblazer. An all-new Trailblazer Z71 trim with standard AWD and additional adventure-focused equipment. Chevrolet also streamlined the trim lineups for both SUVs, giving shoppers three distinct choices for each model. 2027 Chevrolet Trax: A Refreshed Small SUV for Everyday Driving The 2027 Chevy Trax receives styling and technology updates while continuing to focus on accessible, everyday SUV practicality. Exterior updates The refreshed Trax features a new grille, redesigned wheel options, all-LED taillamps, and a redesigned liftgate. Each trim also has its own visual identity. Trax: The entry-level model features higher-contrast wheel finishes for a contemporary, urban look. Trax RS: A sportier appearance includes 19-inch wheels, the largest wheel option available across the Trax lineup. Trax ACTIV: An adventure-inspired design includes a distinctive front-end treatment. The Trax also gains an available power liftgate for the first time, adding convenience when loading groceries, sports equipment, luggage, or other cargo. A more modern interior Inside, the 2027 Trax gets a redesigned look with distinctive hexagonal side air vents and a new Storm Sky Gray interior color option. The technology upgrades are especially notable. Every 2027 Trax will feature an 11-inch-diagonal driver information center and an 11.3-inch-diagonal infotainment screen as standard equipment. Google built-in with Gemini compatibility is also part of the updated technology package, bringing new possibilities for interacting with compatible in-vehicle apps and services. Which 2027 Trax trim is right for you? The simplified lineup includes three trims: Trax: A practical starting point for drivers who want a modern small SUV. Trax RS: A sportier option with distinctive styling and available 19-inch wheels. Trax ACTIV: An option for shoppers drawn to a more rugged, adventure-inspired appearance. One important consideration: the 2027 Trax is front-wheel drive only. If all-wheel drive is a priority for navigating changing weather or exploring beyond paved roads, the Trailblazer is the Chevrolet small SUV to consider instead. 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer: Introducing the All-New Z71 The 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer receives many of the same technology and design upgrades as the Trax, but its biggest news is the addition of the Z71 trim. Chevrolet is bringing its established Z71 nameplate to the Trailblazer for the first time, giving shoppers an adventure-oriented small SUV with standard all-wheel drive and equipment designed for more challenging terrain. What makes the Trailblazer Z71 different? The new Trailblazer Z71 comes equipped with: Standard all-wheel drive to help provide traction when road surfaces are slippery. An off-road-tuned suspension designed for adventure-focused driving. An underbody skid plate for added protection. Sport-terrain tires suited to a broader range of surfaces. Distinctive Z71 styling, including debossed front-row headrests. A Jet Black and Storm Sky Gray interior with orange accents. The Z71 package brings a more rugged personality to a compact SUV, making it an option for drivers who want something beyond a conventional city crossover. For drivers in the Puget Sound region, AWD may be worth considering for wet roads, trips over mountain passes, and outdoor destinations with less-than-perfect road surfaces. Actual capability depends on conditions, tires, and driving technique, and AWD does not replace safe driving or appropriate winter equipment. The Z71's off-road-oriented hardware adds another dimension, although it shouldn't be confused with a purpose-built extreme off-roader. Trailblazer updates beyond the Z71 The rest of the Trailblazer lineup also benefits from interior and convenience changes. A new column-mounted shifter allows for a redesigned center console with more flexible storage. Retractable cupholders can create additional open storage space, and the updated design allows for HVAC vents for rear passengers. An AutoSense power liftgate is also newly available, making it easier to access the cargo area when your hands are full. The 2027 Trailblazer lineup will include three trims: Trailblazer: The entry-level option. Trailblazer RS: A sportier design-focused choice. Trailblazer Z71: The new adventure-oriented trim with standard AWD. More Standard Safety and Driver-Assistance Technology Both the 2027 Trax and Trailblazer receive upgraded electrical and software architecture that enables more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features. Newly introduced standard features include: Reverse Automatic Braking Safety Alert Seat Side Bicyclist Alert Rear Cross Traffic Braking Front Park Assist Rear Seat Belt Indicator Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking The models also include features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Front and Rear Park Assist, and Blind Zone Steering Assist in Chevrolet's announced standard-feature highlights. These systems can provide additional alerts or assistance in certain driving situations, from backing out of a parking space to detecting potential hazards around an intersection. For drivers navigating busy streets, parking lots, and commuter traffic around Burien and Seattle, these features can be useful additions to the driving experience. Updated Technology: Bigger Screens and Google Built-In The 2027 Trax and Trailblazer both receive a substantial technology update, with a larger standard driver information display and infotainment screen. The new standard displays include: An 11-inch-diagonal driver information center. An 11.3-inch-diagonal infotainment screen. Google built-in with Gemini compatibility. Newly available OnStar One, included for 12 months according to Chevrolet's announcement. OnStar services can include features such as in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot capability and video streaming, subject to service-plan requirements, connectivity, and availability. For drivers who spend plenty of time commuting, running errands, or taking weekend trips, the larger screens and connected technology are designed to make key information and compatible services more accessible. Feature availability, service terms, and connectivity requirements vary. Check the applicable vehicle details and OnStar terms for specifics. 2027 Chevy Trax vs. 2027 Chevy Trailblazer Which small Chevrolet SUV makes more sense for your needs?

TL;DR: Chevrolet is introducing an all-new 8.3L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 for the 2027 Silverado HD, delivering 555 horsepower and 1,230 lb.-ft. of torque. The new engine is part of a broader update to Chevrolet's heavy-duty truck lineup that also brings electric power steering, electronic brake boost, improved drive modes and expanded trailering technology. For Seattle and Puget Sound truck owners who tow boats, RVs, equipment or work trailers—or regularly travel through the Cascades—the new Duramax is designed to provide more power, control and confidence when the job gets demanding. Meet the New 2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD Duramax If you use your truck to do more than commute, there's a point where capability isn't a luxury—it's the reason you own the truck. That's the market Chevrolet is targeting with the 2027 Silverado HD and its all-new 8.3L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8. Unveiled by General Motors on September 24, 2026, the new Duramax is designed specifically for heavy-duty truck applications and delivers 555 horsepower and 1,230 lb.-ft. of torque. GM describes those figures as best-in-class for the segment. 1,230 lb.-ft. of Torque: What Does That Actually Mean? Horsepower gets the headlines, but truck owners often care just as much—if not more—about torque. The 2027 Silverado HD's new 8.3L Duramax produces an extraordinary 1,230 lb.-ft. of torque. Torque is the rotational force that helps an engine get a heavy vehicle and trailer moving. In practical terms, substantial torque can be especially useful when you're starting with a heavy load, climbing a grade or maintaining momentum while towing. A loaded trailer headed up a Cascade mountain pass presents a very different challenge from an unloaded truck cruising around Seattle. The new Duramax is engineered with a broad torque curve for towing, hauling and climbing challenging inclines, according to GM. The New 8.3L Duramax Produces 555 Horsepower The other headline number is 555 horsepower. That puts the new Duramax substantially above the outgoing 6.6L Duramax, which produced 470 horsepower and 975 lb.-ft. of torque. GM's new engine increases both outputs significantly. But Chevrolet isn't simply making a bigger engine for the sake of bigger numbers. The new Duramax is an entirely new, clean-sheet heavy-duty diesel V8 developed in-house by GM. According to GM, the engine uses: A compacted graphite iron cylinder block Fully forged crankshaft Forged connecting rods Steel pistons Variable-geometry turbocharger Advanced cooling and air-management systems A 10-speed automatic transmission Why the New Duramax Matters for Seattle-Area Truck Buyers Puget Sound isn't flat. A truck might spend Monday morning navigating I-5 traffic and Saturday morning climbing toward the Cascades with a trailer behind it. For Seattle-area truck owners, capability can mean being prepared for a wide range of conditions and destinations. Towing Boats Around Puget Sound Whether your destination is Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, Hood Canal or one of the many waterways throughout Western Washington, towing a boat puts additional demands on a truck. The Silverado HD is designed for substantial towing capability, and the new Duramax's torque output is intended to make pulling heavy loads its specialty. Hauling Campers Into the Cascades Washington is an outdoor destination, and many Puget Sound residents use their trucks to get there. A heavy camper or fifth-wheel can turn a weekend trip into a serious towing assignment. The new Duramax gives Silverado HD buyers an engine designed around precisely that kind of work. Construction and Trades For contractors and tradespeople in Seattle, Kent, Renton, Tacoma, Burien and throughout the region, a truck may be part of the jobsite. Equipment, tools, materials and trailers can add up quickly. A heavy-duty pickup provides a different level of payload and towing capability than a typical half-ton truck, and the new Duramax is designed for buyers who regularly put that capability to work. Mountain Passes Washington drivers know that a road trip can involve significant elevation changes. Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass and other mountain routes can present challenging grades, particularly while towing. That's one reason the new Duramax's combination of horsepower, torque and available trailering technology is relevant to Northwest truck shoppers. The 2027 Silverado HD Is More Than a New Engine Chevrolet isn't treating the new Duramax as an isolated powertrain update. The 2027 Silverado HD is getting a broader package of changes designed to improve power, control and confidence. Two particularly significant additions are electric power steering and electronic brake boost. Electric Power Steering Comes to the Silverado HD The 2027 Silverado HD introduces rack-and-pinion electric power steering, which GM describes as a segment-first technology for heavy-duty pickups. The system is designed to provide: Greater steering precision Improved on-center feel Reduced steering kickback Better control during low-speed maneuvers Improved steering feel while towing That's particularly useful when you're maneuvering a large truck and trailer in a tight campground, boat launch or jobsite. Electronic Brake Boost Adds Another Layer of Control The new Silverado HD also receives an electronic brake-boost system. GM says the system works with larger 14.6-inch front rotors and four-piston calipers to provide greater stopping capability and a more predictable brake-pedal feel. For a truck carrying a heavy load or pulling a substantial trailer, braking is just as important as acceleration. The ability to generate tremendous power is only part of what makes a heavy-duty truck useful. Controlling that weight is equally important. More Integrated Trailering Technology The 2027 Silverado HD also receives updated drive modes and integrated trailering technology. GM highlights improvements intended to help drivers handle demanding towing, hauling and off-road situations. That includes enhancements to the truck's towing and off-road systems designed to give drivers greater control when conditions become more challenging. For Puget Sound drivers, that could mean everything from maneuvering a trailer at a crowded boat launch to maintaining control while traveling with a heavy load through changing terrain. The Silverado HD Still Offers a Gas V8 Diesel isn't the only option. GM says the 2027 heavy-duty lineup will also offer an enhanced 6.6L gasoline V8 producing: 412 horsepower 472 lb.-ft. of torque That gives Silverado HD buyers the ability to choose a powertrain based on their actual needs rather than paying for diesel capability they may not use. If you regularly tow heavy loads, travel long distances with a trailer or need maximum diesel torque, the new Duramax deserves a close look. If your truck's primary jobs involve commuting, hauling moderate loads and occasional towing, the gasoline V8 may be a better fit. The important thing is matching the truck to the job. Is the 8.3L Duramax Worth Considering Over the Gas V8? That depends on how you use your truck. Consider the Duramax if you: Tow heavy trailers regularly Frequently travel long distances Need substantial low-end torque Tow through mountainous terrain Want a heavy-duty diesel powertrain Regularly haul or tow for work Consider the gasoline V8 if you: Tow less frequently Primarily use the truck for commuting Haul moderate loads Don't need maximum diesel torque Want to avoid the added complexity and operating costs associated with a diesel powertrain A New Generation of Duramax Duramax has been a part of GM's heavy-duty truck story for more than two decades. The new 8.3L represents a significant change: GM describes it as its first clean-sheet heavy-duty diesel V8 designed, developed and manufactured in-house. GM says the engine will be built at its expanded DMAX facility in Brookville, Ohio, supported by a $920 million investment to expand the facility for high-volume engine production. Before the new trucks reach customers, GM says its development teams will have completed more than 1.5 million miles of real-world, on-road validation for the new V8 powertrains.

Chevrolet's iconic sports car reaches a historic milestone while remaining one of the best performance values on the road The Chevrolet Corvette has always represented American performance at its best. For more than 70 years, it has evolved from a stylish two-seat roadster into one of the world's most respected sports cars—earning comparisons with exotic European supercars while remaining attainable for everyday enthusiasts. Now, Chevrolet has reached another major milestone. The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has officially surpassed 200 mph in a validated top-speed run, making it the most affordable new production vehicle capable of reaching the 200-mph mark. Starting at $73,495, the Stingray delivers supercar-level performance without a six-figure price tag. For sports car enthusiasts throughout Seattle, Burien, Bellevue, Renton, Kent, Auburn, and the greater Puget Sound region, it's another reminder that Corvette continues to raise the bar for performance, engineering, and value. A Historic Milestone for an American Icon Breaking the 200-mph barrier has long been reserved for ultra-exclusive supercars costing hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars. The 2027 Corvette Stingray changes that. Chevrolet achieved the milestone using a base 1LT Stingray, demonstrating that extraordinary performance isn't limited to the highest trim levels or special editions. The increase comes thanks to Chevrolet's new 6.7-liter Gen-6 LS6 V8, producing 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. It's a significant achievement that highlights how far the Corvette has come since the first model debuted in 1953 with a top speed of about 105 mph. What Makes the 2027 Corvette Stingray So Special? The new Stingray isn't just faster. It's more refined, more capable, and more technologically advanced than ever before. Highlights include: Official 200 mph top speed New 6.7L LS6 naturally aspirated V8 535 horsepower 520 lb-ft of torque Available 0–60 mph in as little as 2.8 seconds with the Z51 Performance Package Mid-engine balance for exceptional handling Dual-clutch 8-speed transmission Driver-focused digital cockpit Whether you're carving through mountain roads or enjoying a scenic drive along the Washington coast, the Stingray delivers a driving experience that few vehicles can match. Supercar Performance Without the Supercar Price One reason the Corvette has remained so popular is its ability to deliver extraordinary performance for the money. According to Chevrolet, the 2027 Stingray is now the least expensive new vehicle capable of reaching 200 mph. That means buyers can enjoy performance typically associated with exotic brands while benefiting from: Chevrolet engineering Nationwide dealer support Everyday drivability Proven reliability Lower ownership costs than many imported supercars For many enthusiasts, that's what has always made Corvette unique. Technology Keeps Improving Alongside Performance While headlines focus on horsepower, today's Corvette is also packed with modern technology. Drivers benefit from features such as: Large digital displays Performance Data Recorder (available) Wireless smartphone integration Selectable drive modes Available Magnetic Ride Control Advanced driver information systems The result is a sports car that's surprisingly comfortable and connected during everyday driving. So, whether you're commuting through Seattle or heading out for a weekend escape, the Stingray feels just as modern as it is fast. Built for Drivers Who Love to Drive The Corvette isn't designed for one type of owner. It's popular among: Weekend touring enthusiasts Performance driving enthusiasts Collectors Empty nesters Professionals looking for an attainable dream car Drivers upgrading from European sports cars Many owners discover that the Corvette is more practical than they expected, with comfortable seating, usable cargo space, and excellent highway manners. Frequently Asked Questions How fast is the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has an officially validated top speed of 200 mph, making it the most affordable new production vehicle capable of reaching that milestone. How much horsepower does the new Corvette Stingray have? The new 6.7-liter LS6 V8 produces 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. How quickly can the Corvette accelerate?

Thanks to its comfortable cabin, modern technology, front and rear cargo compartments, and refined ride quality, many owners drive their Corvettes regularly rather than saving them only for weekends. Why has the Corvette remained so popular? The Corvette offers an exceptional combination of performance, technology, design, and value. Few sports cars deliver comparable capability at its price point. The American Legend That Keeps Raising the Bar The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray proves that innovation and tradition can coexist. By combining a powerful new LS6 V8, cutting-edge engineering, and everyday usability, Chevrolet has created a sports car that continues to redefine what's possible at its price point. Reaching the 200-mph milestone is more than just a number—it's a testament to decades of engineering excellence and Corvette's ongoing evolution. Whether you're a lifelong Corvette fan or simply appreciate world-class performance, the latest Stingray demonstrates why Chevrolet remains one of the most exciting names in American automotive engineering.

That's especially appealing for Pacific Northwest drivers who regularly: Tow boats Pull campers Travel long distances Drive mountain highways Balance capability with fuel economy For many Silverado owners, the Duramax continues to be one of the most attractive powertrain choices in the lineup.

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, the most advanced Corvette ever, is the quickest American production car available – and the fastest way to get down a quarter-mile drag strip for under a million dollars. Testing on the ZR1X culminated in October 2025 with validation at US 131 Motorsports Park – reflective of the real-world environments where Corvette customers exercise their vehicles. On a prepped surface, the ZR1X completed the quarter mile in 8.675 seconds at 159 mph 1, on pump gas, using standard-equipment tires and production 50-state street-legal engine calibration, and achieving a 0-60 mph time of 1.68 seconds 1 on the same run.

Today, Chevrolet gave car enthusiasts and racing fans a glimpse of the high-performance future. Two Corvette concept cars, the Corvette CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo, debuted at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering. While not intended for production, the pair will serve as inspiration to inform Corvette design language for years to come. Drawing on more than 70 years of performance innovation, these Corvette concepts honor the heritage of America’s sports car 1 – and propel it into the future. The CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo are the latest and last of several Corvette concepts to be revealed this year, as part of a GM design exercise which involved multiple GM studios globally. The CX concepts were designed and fabricated at the Chevrolet Performance Studio in Warren, MI. “While the shape of a Corvette has always been expressive and forward-looking, each crease and line has its roots in the generations that came before it. It is aspirational, it is cultural, it is the reason people want to come and work at Chevrolet,” said Phil Zak, executive design director for Chevrolet. “The CX and CX.R Vision Gran Turismo demonstrate our design teams stepping away from the constraints of production vehicles and unleashing their creativity. Through this exercise, we’ve added to Corvette and defined the design direction for Corvette moving forward.” Corvette CX Concept: Unmistakably Corvette, made for street and track Front view of Corvette CX. Concept vehicle shown. Not available for sale. Imagine a future Corvette designed from the ground up to provide the ultimate high-performance driving experience on the open road or the racetrack. This was the inspiration behind the Corvette CX concept. The CX concept design starts with quintessential Corvette hallmarks. The forward-lunging nose, the pronounced horizontal “chine” line delineating the upper and lower bodywork, and the dual-element taillights are all signature features of Corvette models past and present. The proportions are long, low, and sleek, with a roofline less than 41 inches high. Aggressively futuristic, yet unquestionably a Corvette, the CX concept shows what an uncompromised future sports car can be. The athletic exterior design, highlighted by the fighter-jet-inspired cockpit canopy, isn’t just about looking powerful – it was shaped in collaboration with the GM Motorsports Aero Group. Every angle was designed with ultimate performance in mind. Side view of Corvette CX with canopy open. Concept vehicle shown. Not available for sale. The innovations continue underneath the skin with the Vacuum Fan System. Built-in fans draw air through the open-channel bodywork, generating massive downforce and adjusting the airflow over the rear diffuser to refine aerodynamic balance in real-time. The front diffuser and rear wing are both active, adjusting automatically in response to the driver’s inputs to generate maximum grip. The integrated understructure of the CX concept is visible through the aero channels in the bodywork, and the suspension A-arms are wing-shaped to enhance airflow and reduce front-end lift. The CX concept’s propulsion system was chosen to provide maximum design freedom, plus ultimate straight-line performance to complement the corner carving enabled by fan-driven downforce and active aero. The CX concept is an all-wheel-drive electric supercar with a propulsion system worthy of the Corvette name. Four motors, one powering each wheel, generate more than 2,000 horsepower, with four-wheel torque vectoring for maximum grip and cornering performance. The 90-kWh lithium-ion battery is mounted in the chassis for a low center of gravity and ideal front-rear weight distribution. Corvette CX interior in Inferno Red. Concept vehicle shown.

For more than 25 years, the Corvette road car program has been accompanied by a championship-caliber Corvette Racing competition program. This close relationship between road car and racecar isn’t just a source of pride for Corvette fans – it helps further the technical learnings that can be shared across both realms. True to Chevrolet’s performance DNA, the design team created a Corvette CX concept exclusively for track competition. The CX.R Vision Gran Turismo imagines the future of Corvette GT racing – a future gamers will be able to drive in Gran Turismo 7. The CX.R VGT racecar embodies Corvette’s history while looking to the future of automotive performance. The familiar yellow and black color scheme honors the Corvette GT racecars of the past 25 years. Designers took CX’s athletic exterior and ramped up the aggression for CX.R VGT with more prominent active aero features and a lower ride height for racetrack-dominating downforce and grip. Weight has been reduced across the car to further emphasize the all-out focus on performance. Corvette CX.R Vision Gran Turismo interior in yellow and black. Concept vehicle shown. Not available for sale. Inside, the touring-inspired surfaces and materials of CX have been replaced by functional, high-performance appointments. The dashboard consists of lightweight raw carbon fiber weave, and the seating uses suede-wrapped foam inserts for grip and support where the driver needs it. The seats themselves have larger, much more aggressive shoulder and headrest pads to provide the head and neck support necessary with the intense handling capabilities CX.R VGT could deliver. Building off the propulsion template set by the Corvette CX concept, the CX.R VGT combines electrified performance with the thrill of a high-revving V8 engine. The mid-mounted 2.0-liter dual-overhead-cam twin-turbo V8 makes up to 900 horsepower and revs to 15,000 rpm. Powered by renewable e-fuel, this V8 drives the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Three electric motors – one for each front wheel, plus a third incorporated into the 8-speed gearbox – provide instant torque for jaw-dropping acceleration and contribute to a total system output of 2,000 hp.
