4 Cool Things to Know About the 2020 Corvette

The iconic Chevy Corvette. What’s there to say about the upcoming 2020 car? A lot is the answer. Find out about the hidden gems and conveniences that make the newest addition to the Chevy lineup stand out from the competition.

Convenience Features

With the design of the 2020 Corvette placing the engine behind the driver and passenger versus in the traditional location, Chevrolet got creative with the front storage space and refer to the area as the frunk (front trunk). An interesting thing about the frunk is the hidden button located on the front fascia. For security reasons, the button is located above the left air vent, which keeps it hidden.

Another convenience feature is available via the remote key used to unlock the car doors. When the unlock button key is pressed and held down, the car windows will lower automatically. This is a nice plus to allow fresh air into the car and cool it down before you get in.

Trunk Space

While the Corvette has minimal trunk space, there is plenty of room to store the convertible top regardless of the type of material it’s made of, which may be fiber, glass, or a body-colored hard cover. A latch on either side of the opening secures the trunk top in place. When closing the trunk, all that’s required is a gentle push as the soft-close system takes care of securing the trunk lid without the need of slamming or pushing the lid to make it latch and lock.

Hidden Visual Treats

When seated, the audio speaker grille is snugly fitted between the two seats. Chevrolet added a visual enhancement to the speaker- the Corvette’s winged logo. Because of the way the holes in the speaker have been drilled at a slant, the logo isn’t easily seen when you’re in close proximity. You have to be at the perfect angle and distance to see the logo. This is just one of the hidden treats included on the 2020 Corvette.

Another place to look for hidden tidbits is on the rear window. Here, instead of lines, dots, or other designs Chevrolet has chosen to add a pattern of “V” shaped black flags.

Under the Hood

The 2020 Corvette isn’t short on power or performance with its V-8 naturally aspirated 6.2-liter engine. One area the engineers wanted to get right is the traditional sound of the Corvette. Because of the new location of the engine, the exhaust tubing must maneuver differently than when the engine was located in the front. What this means for the new model is a new gas routing system and different mufflers, which results in the right sound Corvette owners have come to know so well.

The 2020 Corvette is full of surprises that include more conveniences plus the addition of “Easter eggs” placed by engineers. When you expect more from a super car with an established reputation of sass and class than what’s traditionally offered, you can count on Chevrolet to deliver.
