2022 Chevrolet Corvette: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The main change for the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette is an updated fuel-delivery system and revised calibration for the Stingray’s LT2 V8. Otherwise, this is a light-update year rather than a redesign.
About the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette
8th generation Corvette (C8, introduced for 2020); 2022 is the third model year of the mid-engine generation.
Chevrolet positions the Corvette Stingray as an attainable mid-engine American sports car that delivers exotic-car proportions and performance without giving up real-world usefulness. The big sell is not just speed: Chevrolet also leans on the car’s weight balance, available coupe or hardtop-convertible formats, and unusually useful front and rear cargo areas. Against rivals, the Stingray’s core appeal is a naturally aspirated V8 experience, sharp handling, and everyday usability in one package.
For 2022, Chevrolet positioned the Stingray as a mid-engine, two-seat sports car that combines V8 performance with enough comfort and cargo room for road trips. Its 490-horsepower V8 works with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, while an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12-inch digital instrument display, and front and rear cargo compartments add everyday usefulness.

“We miss the storage for luggage like the C7's and older had. No room for much of anything in the main cabin area.”
“I inhale performance vehicles. I WAS THE FOURTH PROUD OWNER OF THE 47TH 1975 PORSCHE 930 CARRERA (I still miss her). IT WAS MODIFIED FOR COMPETITION (3.3L CONVERSION) AND WAS INSANELY FAST. Believe me when I say THIS CORVETTE 2022 C8 LT3 HAS EXCEEDED MY QUALITY/PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS. Well done, GM...Well done.”
