2025 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray Review

August 16, 2025

This electrified Corvette gets gone like a bullet from a gun. Is it the best version of the C8 you can buy in New Zealand? Here’s an interesting one, a four-wheel drive, electrified Corvette. Who would have thought? Guess time catches up with even old nameplates like the Corvette. America’s Sportscar has been around longer than the 911, which is another old timer that has recently embraced electrification. Does a dose of modernity improve the recipe? The E-Ray What is it exactly? GM explains it best; “The E-Ray is not an electric vehicle...

Best to leave it in Comfort mode for urban work too. Any of the Sport modes and you might inadvertently be up someone’s jacksie if you give it too much jandal. This is, as Audi describes it, a “very hot hatch”. Indeed. The price is a bit...
