2022 Corvette Stingray Has Several Novelties & Changes

In 2022, the C8 Corvette - also known as the C8 - will launch its third model year. The C8 Stingray is currently the only C8 model available, so the mid-engined Corvette will receive some minor updates to it. Three existing exterior color options are being discarded as well as three new color options added to the 2022 Corvette:

Introducing the new colors for the exterior:

  • Metallic Caffeine
  • Hypersonic Gray Metallic
  • Amplify Orange Tint coat
  • Deleted Exterior Colors:
  • Zeus Bronze Metallic
  • Shadow Gray Metallic
  • Sebring Orange Tint coat

Also removed from the mid-engined sports car were the Dealer-installed (LPO-level) Performance Pewter-painted aluminum wheels (RPO code 5DG). 2022 Corvettes will come with a few new LPO options, including:

  • Low-profile rear spoiler and splitter on the front
  • (LPO-level item) Black Ground Effects
  • The Carbon Fiber door intake trim (LPO-level item) is visible from the outside.
  • At the beginning of production, this option was not available
  • (LPO-level item) A high-wing spoiler with visible carbon fiber
  • At the beginning of production, this option was not available

The interior of the 2022 Corvette Stingray interior dress-up sees a single change: illuminated door sill plates are available as dealer-installed options. Corvette Stingray's 6.2L V8 LT2 engine is slightly modified for the 2022 model year. As part of these updates, fuel delivery and Active Fuel Management systems have been upgraded along with some minor engine calibration adjustments. In order to meet federal emissions regulations, these updates have been implemented.

The 2022 Chevy Corvette includes the following features:

  • Z51 Performance Package
