Chevrolet Corvette SUV.
Last Updated:
There were a few rumors about a new 4-door, super sporty Corvette SUV a couple of years ago. Many even guess that GM was getting more than one new sporty model under the Corvette name. Basically, almost creating a Corvette sub-brand. One that could also include a low 4-door sedan. A high-end lineup of sports cars that would compete against Porsche.
And then, nothing…
These new models would have been based on an updated version of GM’s Ultium platform. Competing directly against the Porsche Taycan, Macan EV, and upcoming Cayenne EV.
The indea of a 4 door Corvette Crossover wouldn’t be that blasphemous anymore since the Porsche Cayenne, Aston Martin DBX and even the Bentley Bentayga are big sellers for their respective brands. A Chevrolet Corvette SUV would instantly be more popular than the classic coupe and convertible models. The blasphemous part would be an Ultium based Corvette EV.
Just like the current C8 Corvette has been compared to much more expensive Italian sports cars, the new SUV could be considered a much cheaper Lamborghini Urus competitor. Although “much cheaper” won’t really mean affordable since it will probably reach $ 100,000 pretty quickly.
A raised up 4-door crossover body driving like a sports car is a big ticket item with a huge profit margin. Sure the Porsche 911 is the classic Porsche. However, last year, it sold around 10,200 units. Which is not as popular as the aging Cayenne. The Chevrolet Corvette is a much more popular car in the US with over 33,300 of them sold last year. Doubling that number for the new SUV could bring total Corvette sales (Coupe/Convertible and SUV) to about 100,000 units a year.
Maybe the idea is on the back burner for now. However, GM has been very successful with its new EVs. The Cadillac Lyriq is the brand’s second-best seller. Chevrolet has already sold over 37,000 EVs in 2025 so far.
Moving up with even more expensive models seems like a no-brainer. But who am I to say? Really…
GM made that option an impossibility, except with the Ultium/BEV platform, when they decided to make the Corvette a mid-engine vehicle. Had they kept the front engine/rear drive format instead, they could have created lengthened vehicles with 2nd rows and trunks/tailgates. Porsche didn’t make that mistake with the Panamera. I mean, I know WHY GM did it, but it also killed other options for a subbrand based upon chassis sharing.
The C8, and all the hi-po iterations have done wonders for the Corvette brand. I’ve heard more talk about this generation than any other one in my lifetime. And the talk has been almost universally positive. They should be making money hand-over-first with the top trim models, that I think they don’t need to dilute the brand with sedans and SUVs. That would be a step in the wrong direction.
Also, I do not see a full electric Vette in the near future. I think the market has been clear that it wants the smell, sound and feel of a V8. C9 is going to be the hybrid Corvette. The current eRay is going to be the blueprint for C9 models which probably all will have some level of electrification. I don’t see it dropping the V8 till the C10 at the earliest.
The Corvette brand will diluted for sure if they make any SUV. The Corvette brand has to stay a sports car brand only!
Sports car only
All I’m going to say is cats. Luck is not dogs luck all the time.
I Love that SUV! I want One 😁
Porcha Panorama has had great success with the Porcha Company a beautiful 4 door sports car with nice room on the inside 😁👏 . The Corvette 4 door pictured here is beautiful and good 😊 looking hopefully Chevrolet will take a chance
Have these people lost their ever living minds!!! NONONONONO!! Absolutely 💯 Noooooo! The Vette looks crazy enough now but make it a 4 door 🚪 or SUV????? WE don’t EV’s either!! GOD pls. take Me away from this crazy world 🌎!! 🤔😵💫😵😱😭😡👿👽👎
Chevreligon ❤️😁. Love Vett’s of any kind 😁❤️
Never seen a vette that look like that.”beautiful”
Porsche makes Mid-engine cars, then takes a chance on a front engine car and it pays off. The also didn’t name the Panamera or Cayenne the 911. They have their own names. Bentley also created a name for the Bentayga. Don’t be like Ford and call your sorts car the same name as an SUV. Dumbest thing EVER!! Make a good vehicle, and give it is own name. On a side note, I absolutely HATE that they are calling 4 door cars and SUVs coupes!! How stupid!!
I’ve been mulling those idea’s around years. SUV sounds like an everyday, so it would need to be a Shooting Break. A low slung four door hardtop or maybe sedan for a bit less flex. They would all work well on the C7 chassis. So if those were to come a out front engine, rear drive sports car sounds like a great idea. Not to harm mid engine sales my new Shooting Break would need to limited performance. Would we be happy with a 500hp StingRay Shooting Break Z51 GrandSport ?
Corvettes should stay corvettes! I’m old school don’t screw the Corvettes up ! I like front engine
Corvettes, like I said old school ! New are great too !
F****** stupid
If you want to destroy the chevrolet corvette then do exactly that! I haven’t owned another Porsche since they ruined it with 4 doors and an suv.. go ahead and fk up
GM has the ability to screw things up royally. The Cimmaron.Aztec, ebgines labelled Oldsmobile when they were Chevys but the C8 is a hit. What’s next?
Even AI can’t make a Corvette an SUV. The vehicle created, although it can’t be built because of the mid engine, if properly name would be either a wagon or a shooting break. It might even go so far as the SAV nomenclature that BMW tried to put in effect a few years ago but in no way is it an SUV. Click bait titles don’t increase reader loyalty.
Chevrolet needs to step out, and take a chance. I am Corvette fan until the end. A SUV would probably be the best thing ever. Can you imagine a SUV, looking and sounding like a aggressive sports car. I get goosebumps thinking about it. Chevrolet lets show the car industry, we can hang with the best of them!
I am interested in one of these model
Don’t f… it Chevy!! leave the vette alone!!
We are about pulling 7 unit of G class 900 1m$
A Vette is a sports car.
An El Camino would be a shooting brake SUV.
GM is idiotic for not doing one off Pontiac Firebirds and Oldmobile Futuros. Labels are everything.
