The 2025 Corvette sees several new exterior colors as well as some new interior finishes, new wheels, and a new Z51 spoiler.

What’s new for the 2025 Corvette? Not much is changing for the 2025 model year, but we are getting some new colors inside and out. We’re also getting a new wheel design and a redesigned Z51 spoiler.

One of our all-time favorite Corvette colors, Sebring Orange Tintcoat Metallic, will make its triumphant return. In addition, it will be joined by two new colors, Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic and Hysteria Purple Metallic. Sebring Orange and Competition Yellow will be extra-cost paint options.

We’re eager to see how the C8 Corvette looks in these new colors, especially the metallic purple. We have teaser images posted in this article, but we really want to see how they looks in sunlight. They never look quite like the renderings.

2025 Corvette: Hot New Colors Inside & Out

Inside, there’s a new upholstery shade, dubbed Habanero. In addition, you can order blue deviated stitching with your black interior for a nice, subtle touch. We were big fans of the color-matched stitching on the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO, so we’re eager to see this small detail in person on the new Corvette. Another small interior detail is a standard leather steering wheel air bag cover for 1LT/2LT/1LZ/2LZ models. This was previously an option.

There’s also a new ten-spoke wheel design for the Corvette Z06. It’s available in four finishes — polished, gloss black, pearl nickel, and bright polished face with Carbon Flash pockets. As for additional wheel-adjacent eye candy, you can now order your brake calipers painted in Velocity Yellow. Lastly, the shape of the Z51 Performance Package spoiler has been changed to lend the Corvette a more aggressive appearance.

We have no word on pricing thus far. Horsepower and torque numbers appear to remain unchanged – 490 hp/470 lb-ft for the Stingray, 655 hp/592 lb-ft (combined) for the E-Ray, and 670 hp/460 lb-ft for the Corvette Z06.

Interestingly, there is no mention of the center console wall being deleted in the press release we read. The removal of the controversial “wall of buttons” has been a hot rumor for a long time, but it appears, as of now, that it’s here to stay for at least one more model year.
