2025 Corvette E-Ray: The First All-Wheel-Drive Corvette

The E-Ray is the most significant thing to happen to the Corvette since it went mid-engine. It’s the first hybrid Corvette and the first with all-wheel drive — and it does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.

Here’s how it works and what makes it different from every other Corvette.

The Powertrain

The V8 drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. The electric motor drives the front axle. There’s no mechanical connection between them — the front wheels are powered entirely electrically.

That’s what makes this eAWD, and it’s why the E-Ray puts down power in conditions where a rear-drive Corvette simply can’t.

0-60 in 2.5 seconds. For context, that’s supercar territory from a car you can drive in the rain.

It Doesn’t Plug In

The question everyone asks first: no, you don’t charge it.

The E-Ray’s battery recharges through braking and engine operation as you drive. There’s no plug, no charging routine, and no range planning. The hybrid system exists for performance and traction, not fuel economy.

Stealth Mode is the exception worth knowing about — it lets you pull out of your neighborhood on electric power alone at low speed, without waking anyone up. Corvette owners with early mornings and close neighbors appreciate it more than the spec sheet suggests.

Chassis and Braking

Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0 reads the road and adjusts damping continuously — the system that lets a car this capable also be livable on rough pavement.

Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes with advanced cooling for fade resistance under repeated hard use.

Performance Traction Management with selectable drive modes.

The wide-body stance is shared with the Z06, along with staggered 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels on Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

Interior

A 12-inch fully digital driver display with E-Ray-specific performance data, alongside an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Available GT2 or Competition Sport bucket seats in Nappa leather — the GT2 for comfort on longer drives, the Competition Sport for holding you in place when it matters. Sit in both; they’re genuinely different.

Premium materials including leather, suede, and available carbon fiber trim.

A Bose Performance Series 14-speaker audio system and dual-zone climate control with heated and ventilated seat options.

Exterior

Exclusive E-Ray badging and blue accents that mark it out from other Corvettes without shouting.

Aerodynamic work through the sculpted hood, side intakes, and rear spoiler for airflow and downforce. An available Carbon-Fiber Ground Effects Package for anyone who wants more.

Safety

• Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Monitoring
• HD Surround Vision camera — genuinely necessary in a car with this much rear bodywork and this little rear visibility

Where the E-Ray Sits in the Corvette Lineup

Stingray — the rear-drive V8, and the purest expression of the mid-engine car.

E-Ray — all-wheel drive, 655 combined horsepower, the one you can drive year-round and in weather. The most usable Corvette.

Z06 — the naturally aspirated flat-plane-crank track car. Different mission entirely.

ZR1 — the top of the range, and the quickest Corvette built.

The E-Ray’s argument is that it’s the Corvette you can actually use. All-wheel drive means wet roads and cold mornings aren’t a reason to leave it in the garage, and 2.5 seconds to 60 means you’re not giving anything up to get that.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the E-Ray and the Z06? The E-Ray is a hybrid with all-wheel drive built for usable, all-weather performance. The Z06 is a naturally aspirated, rear-drive, track-focused car with a flat-plane-crank V8. Different missions.
