Vehicle Overview
With the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette in Corinth comes the biggest change in the history of this iconic nameplate. At Crossroads Chevrolet in Corinth Mississippi, we are proud to introduce a Corvette that boasts an all-new design that heavily reflects the move to a mid-engine configuration. Gone is the traditional front-engine sports car. You now have a vehicle that competes with an elite level of sports car, and what is perhaps most amazing about that is price. Chevrolet has succeeded on its vision for the new Corvette without elevating it beyond established consumer expectations in America. That makes for a very intriguing sports car that should draw in an entirely new audience while enticing the loyalists.
Exterior - 2020 Chevrolet Corvette
Perhaps the first thing that jumps out about the new design for the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette is that the mid-engine is positioned under glass, which you see through from outside the vehicle. The removable hood, which has always been an integral part of the iconolatry, has been preserved for the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette. Both of the Z51 packages-the second adds to the first-available add a slew of visual cues that set the higher-end vehicles apart. Chevrolet has also giving us two storage compartments with one in the rear and one up front. The rear trunk is designed to accommodate two golf bags, and the front trunk can accommodate a carry-on and a laptop bag.
Interior - 2020 Chevrolet Corvette in Corinth MS
Adapting the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette to a mid-engine setup has forced some significant interior changes. When you visit Crossroads Chevrolet in Corinth Mississippi, you may notice, for instance, that the cabin has been shifted closer to the front wheels—16.5 inches to be exact. The goal here is to achieve better driver control. Other enhancements to the driver experience include a larger windshield as well as better visibility overall due to the hood being positioned lower than with the older models. The steering wheel is squared off, which is reminiscent of Ferraris and Aston Martins. The interior materials are high-grade throughout and include leather, true metals and carbon fiber.

While the engine configuration has changed, the rear-wheel configuration is ever the same. Among the most interesting aspects of the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette in Corinth is the three available suspension configurations: FE1, FE3 and FE4. Note that these are distinct from the trim levels, which means that you can choose any trim with any suspension setup. The FE1 is the base suspension. The FE3 includes the first of the Z51 packages. This upgrades the base suspension with passive dampers. It also features improved cooling, an electronic limited-slip differential, better tires and the advanced exhaust system. The FE4 package adds the second Z51 package, which replaces the passive dampers with an adaptive magnetorheological setup. Note that the Z51 packages have styling elements as well.
Powertrain - Chevrolet Corvette specs in Corinth MS
Questions about the powertrain are among the most common that we get at Crossroads Chevrolet in Corinth Mississippi. The mid-engine, often called the LT2, is a naturally aspirated 6.2L V8. This V8 is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with a dual clutch. The clutch can be disengaged by pressing both steering wheel shifter paddles at the same time. This setup makes an impressive 495 horsepower and as much as 470 pound-feet of torque if you opt for the available exhaust upgrade. That puts even the base C8 at 40 horses beyond what the current C7 can deliver. Note that this is currently the first Corvette not to offer a manual transmission. It may come later, but there has been no word yet.
Safety - 2020 Chevrolet Corvette dealer
The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette in Corinth gets at least an 8-inch color touchscreen, and there are indications that this is upgradeable to 10 and/or 12 inches. This touchscreen, which is fully customizable, features the latest infotainment software by Chevy and serves as the centerpiece for the infotainment setup. It provides access not just to entertainment and communication but driver assistance features, such as a rearview camera. Virtual camera mirror is an option and lets you view the backup camera feed through the rearview mirror as well. Customers who move up to the mid-tier 2LT trim get integrated navigation, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts. Some reports have suggested adaptive cruise control as an option and perhaps standard with the 3LT, but this remains unconfirmed.
