$68,300 · Coupe

$57,100 · Sedan

Comparison Overview

The most significant numerical divergence between the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette and the 2025 Genesis G80 lies in performance metrics, with the Corvette producing 490 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque compared to the G80's 300 hp and 311 lb-ft. This 190 hp gap justifies the Corvette's higher $68,300 MSRP against the G80's starting price of $57,100, representing an $11,200 upfront cost difference. Conversely, the G80 exhibits superior fuel economy, achieving a 24 MPG combined rating versus the Corvette’s 19 MPG combined, contributing to lower long-term running costs. While the G80 offers slightly more utility with 13.1 cu ft of cargo space compared to the Corvette's 12.6 cu ft, the fundamental difference rests in their mission: the Corvette prioritizes acceleration and power delivery via its RWD, 8-speed automated manual platform, while the G80 leans toward balanced, all-weather capability with its standard AWD system.

Choose the Chevrolet Corvette if...
