Chevrolet Opens Orders for the New Corvette Grand Sport X Hybrid AWD

Chevrolet is moving ahead with the rollout of its newest performance Corvette. Four months after introducing the Corvette Grand Sport and Grand Sport X, the automaker has officially opened customer orders for the all-wheel-drive Grand Sport X. Assembly is set to begin later this year at GM's Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Kentucky.

The Grand Sport X first made its public debut in March alongside the rear-wheel-drive Grand Sport. Now, buyers can finally place orders for the electrified performance model, which joins the Corvette family as the brand's third hybrid, following the E-Ray and ZR1X.

According to GM Authority, Chevrolet dealers have been receiving vehicle allocations for several weeks. Those allocations can now be converted into customer orders, marking the official retail launch of the new model.

Pricing starts at $112,195 for the coupe and $119,195 for the convertible before optional equipment is added. Chevrolet has not yet activated the online Build & Price configurator, but it is expected to appear soon on the model's official webpage.

The Grand Sport X effectively succeeds the Corvette E-Ray, which introduced hybrid technology and all-wheel drive to the Corvette lineup when it debuted for the 2024 model year. While the E-Ray remains available for now, Chevrolet has shifted its focus to a more powerful successor.

Instead of the E-Ray's naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT2 V8, the Grand Sport X features Chevrolet's new naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8. In the E-Ray, the LT2 produces 655 horsepower and 595 lb-ft of torque, delivering a 0–60 mph time of 2.5 seconds, a 10.5-second quarter-mile at 130 mph, and a top speed of 188 mph.

The Grand Sport X raises the bar with 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque. Chevrolet says the hybrid all-wheel-drive coupe reaches 60 mph in 2.7 seconds, covers the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 197 mph.

Although the acceleration figures are similar, the Grand Sport X delivers higher output, a higher top speed, and a more refined hybrid powertrain with lower emissions than the outgoing E-Ray.

The Corvette E-Ray is still listed in Chevrolet's online configurator with a starting MSRP of $108,600, but its production run is nearing its end. According to GM Authority, Grand Sport X production will begin later this year, with the first customer deliveries expected in late 2026 or early 2027.
