GM has instituted a price increase on the 2026 Corvettes, multiple dealers have now confirmed the following price increases on their internal systems:

All 2026 Corvette models will see a $500 price increase on the cost of the mandatory destination charge from the Assembly Plant to dealerships. Previously it was at $1,995, and now it’s going to $2,495. FYI, it was just $1,695 last January 2025.

The MSRP of the 2026 Corvette ZR1 is going up by $1,600.

Assuming that this price increase is for both Coupe & Convertible models and covers both 1LZ and 3LZ trims.
Here is the pricing with that increase, not including the destination charge.
The previous 2026 MSRP is in parentheses, while the final number was the original pricing when the MSRP for the 2025 ZR1 was announced in January 2025:

• ZR1 Coupe 1LZ: $182,000 ($180,400) ($173,300)
• ZR1 Coupe 3LZ: $193,000 ($191,400) ($184,300)
• ZR1 Convertible 1LZ: $192,000 ($190,400) ($183,300)
• ZR1 Convertible 3LZ: $203,000 ($201,400) ($194,300)

Those with a current order in the system for a 2026 Corvette.
There will be no order price protection for these increases, which went into effect on Monday, December 15th.
There is no word yet if the ZR1 price increase will be extended to the ZR1X models.

One of the biggest points of confusion, for right now, is that the official Corvette Build and Buy configurators are still showing the previous pricing for ZR1 and the $1,995 destination fee for all C8 Corvette models.
