2025 Corvette E-Ray Design
The Corvette E-Ray, like the standard Corvette, offers versatility in style with both coupe and convertible models, the latter featuring a sleek power-folding hardtop. For 2025, the E-Ray lineup introduces exciting updates to both its interior and exterior. On the outside, two striking new colors, Competition Yellow Tintcoat and Hysteria Purple, are now available.
Inside, the updates are equally impressive. The interior now boasts the bold Habanero upholstery option, adding a splash of vibrant color. If you prefer a subtler touch, the black interior can be enhanced with elegant blue stitching. For added personalization, yellow brake calipers are available, and every trim level now includes a luxurious leather steering wheel cover as a standard feature.
Interior, Features
The new 2025 Corvette E-Ray’s interior feels familiar if you know the Stingray and Z06 models. It’s a snug two-seater with options for leather, imitation suede, and metal or carbon-fiber trims. The coupe has a removable roof that fits neatly in the trunk. Speaking of space, the rear trunk can hold two golf bags, and the front trunk offers some room for luggage even when the roof is stored.
In the cabin, you can enjoys a futuristic cockpit with a squared-off steering wheel, a 12-inch customizable gauge display, and a large infotainment touchscreen angled for easy access. Special features on the screen show power and torque from both the electric motor and gas engine. The interior’s standout feature is the unique “Great Wall of HVAC Controls,” a striking bank of climate-control switches that emphasize the driver-centric design.
How about Driver Assistance Features?
Standard equipment includes automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, as well as lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist. Optional features, such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
How about Infotainment & Connectivity?
The 2025 Corvette E-Ray is equipped with Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 Plus system, which includes an 8.0-inch touchscreen. Features like Bluetooth audio streaming, a 4G LTE mobile hotspot, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are all part of the package.
The system is designed to be user-friendly and responsive. This makes it straightforward to navigate and operate.
2025 Corvette E-Ray Powertrain, Performance
The 2025 Corvette E-Ray features the model’s first-ever hybrid powertrain. It combines a 6.2-liter V-8 engine, borrowed from the Corvette Stingray, producing 495 horsepower with a 160-hp electric motor on the front axle. This setup results in an all-wheel-drive system delivering a combined 655 horsepower. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission handles the power distribution.
The 2025 E-Ray also includes a small 1.1-kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 45 mph on electric power for short distances in what Chevrolet calls Stealth mode. To enhance its winter-weather performance, the E-Ray comes standard with high-performance all-season tires.
How about Fuel Economy & Real World MPG?
The 2025 Corvette E-Ray offers a fuel economy that’s just a bit less efficient than the standard Stingray. According to the EPA, Both models deliver 19 mpg in the city, but when it comes to highway driving, the E-Ray achieves 24 mpg, which is 1 mpg lower than the Stingray’s 25 mpg.
How about Warranty & Maintenance Coverage?
The Corvette E-Ray dazzles with its breathtaking performance, but when it comes to warranty coverage, it offers standard protection. However, there’s a bright spot: your first maintenance service is on the house.
Here’s what you can expect in terms of coverage: The limited warranty lasts for three years or 36,000 miles, providing essential protection early on. The powertrain warranty extends to five years or 60,000 miles, ensuring your engine and transmission are covered longer. For the hybrid components, you’re looking at an impressive eight years or 100,000 miles of coverage.
Which E-Ray Model Do We Prefer?
We prefer the coupe over the convertible with the power-folding hardtop. The coupe’s targa roof already provides an open-top experience, making it a practical choice. The E-Ray comes in three trim levels: 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ, which correspond to the 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT versions of the standard Corvette Stingray.
We recommend the 2LZ trim for its additional features, including a head-up display, a wireless smartphone charging pad, a 14-speaker Bose stereo system, and blind-spot monitoring. This trim level offers a great balance of luxury and advanced features.
