Design & Presence

The Corvette Roadster announces itself with aggressive mid‑engine proportions, wide shoulders and a very low roofline that reads like a supercar without the price tag. At roughly 4.63–4.73 m in length and up to about 2.02 m wide, it fills the road and rewards attention whether the top is down or up. The convertible mechanism is neat and quick, preserving the sharp silhouette while softening the car’s visual threat when cruising with the roof open. Distinct Z06 aero and wider hips add a track‑ready look that also hint at the extra performance beneath the skin.

Interior & Usability

The cockpit is driver‑centric with a tidy button layout and materials that have improved markedly, combining hard sportiness with soft touches where it matters around the dash and seats. Seating is snug and bolstered, aimed at keeping the body in place during fast cornering, and the roadster architecture still manages practical essentials like two gloveboxes and reachable cupholders. The Corvette is a strict two‑seater, so comfort for a driver and passenger is good on short and medium trips but can feel firm on long motorway hauls. A motorized roof makes topping up the sunshine simple and the boot gives honest luggage space for a weekend away.

Space & Everyday Practicality

As a two‑seater sports car the Corvette Roadster is pragmatic: trunk volume sits around 355–357 litres which swallows weekend bags with room to spare, and a 70‑litre fuel tank reduces stops on long runs. Payload capacity is limited (roughly 156–213 kg depending on spec) so packing two adults and heavy luggage at once requires thought. Curb weight ranges from roughly 1,767 kg for the Stingray to about 1,944 kg for the E‑Ray hybrid, the latter trading weight for all‑wheel traction and hybrid hardware. In everyday use it handles grocery runs and trips to the airport competently, but it is not a car for moving house or ferrying more than two people.

Driving & Handling

The Corvette’s mid‑engine layout delivers balanced responses and a sharp turn‑in that rewards commitment, with the Stingray’s 482 hp rear‑wheel drive feeling raw and playful while the E‑Ray’s 644 hp hybrid adds instant torque and all‑wheel traction for faster exits. Performance figures underline the point: 0–100 km/h in about 3.5 s for the Stingray, roughly 2.9 s for the E‑Ray and down to about 2.7 s in the Z06 — real explosive pace that translates into effortless overtakes and track credibility. Steering is direct and composed, though ride quality tightens as the tyres and suspension step up for Z06 levels of performance. Brake feel and stability systems are engineered to help drivers exploit the power without becoming overwhelmed.

Efficiency, Consumption & Real‑World Range

Fuel consumption is high compared with family cars: expect factory figures around 12.6–12.8 L/100 km for the hybrid and Stingray, rising to roughly 16.5 L/100 km for the Z06 under spirited use. With a 70‑litre tank that equates to roughly 425–560 km between fill‑ups in mixed driving — urban and brisk highway use will push the lower end of that range. The E‑Ray’s hybrid system improves launch performance and traction rather than delivering economy parity with conventional cars, and its added mass brings curb weight closer to two tonnes. Buyers should plan for premium fuel and a thirstier ownership profile compared with ordinary passenger cars.

Assistance & Infotainment

Infotainment is modern and responsive, offering smartphone mirroring and performance apps that present lap times and g‑force data alongside standard navigation and media functions. Driver assistance features include adaptive cruise and lane‑keeping aids that are useful on long motorway runs, but the system favors driver engagement over autonomous intervention. The instrument layout keeps vital information in view and configurable displays help monitor oil, boost and battery systems for track days or spirited drives. Overall, technology enhances convenience and performance feedback rather than turning the Corvette into a commuting robot.

Who Is It For?

The Corvette Roadster suits buyers who want mid‑engine looks and supercar levels of performance without an exotic price tag, and who accept two seats and some practical compromises in return for driving excitement. The Stingray is the best value for pure internal‑combustion thrills, the E‑Ray appeals to those wanting AWD traction and hybrid punch, and the Z06 targets track‑minded owners chasing maximum lap times and power (around 680 hp). It is a weekend hero and occasional long‑distance cruiser for people who put performance and presence ahead of economy and rear‑seat practicality.
