C7 (2014 to 2019)

Bringing the Corvette firmly into the modern era, the Chevrolet Corvette C7 was produced from 2014 to 2019 and combined traditional front-engine V8 character with a major leap in build quality, technology, and global competitiveness. It marked the return of the “Stingray” name, introduced an aluminium-intensive chassis, and featured powerful naturally aspirated V8 engines, culminating in high-performance variants such as the Z06 and ZR1 that pushed the limits of the front-engine layout. The C7 played a critical role in elevating Corvette’s international reputation, proving it could rival European performance cars on road and track while retaining classic American muscle appeal. In the Australian market, the C7 has been one of the most sought-after modern Corvettes, with strong demand driven by specialist imports, relative usability, and its position as the final front-engine Corvette generation. Values are influenced by variant, specification, mileage, condition, and import costs, with manual cars, Z06 and ZR1 models, and low-kilometre examples commanding the strongest premiums as collectors increasingly view the C7 as a landmark model in Corvette history.
