2026 Chevrolet Corvette
Corvette is Chevrolet's mid-engine sports car flagship. Trade-offs versus Mustang: mid-engine packaging and price ladder; versus European exotics: value positioning with serious performance hardware on upper trims.
What's confirmed (EPA 2026)
Fetched combined figures include about 19 mpg combined (16/25 and 16/24) on Stingray-class rows and 14–15 mpg combined on higher-output rows (city/hwy examples 12/21, 12/19, 12/18).
Practical notes
Match Z06/ZR1/E-Ray style powertrains to the EPA string — electrified or track packs change the number. This is not a daily-mpg thesis.
Safety
Score pending — sports-car crash matrices are often sparse; we will not invent stars.
