Take petrol route and there’s the 150kW/300Nm X2 xDrive20i at $75,900 – up $10,200 on its predecessor yet still below the Luxury Car Tax threshold – and the 233kW/400Nm X2 xDrive M35i at $92,900.

For the 2024 model year, the Stingray has added safety tech in the form of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and lane-keep assist, lane departure warning and auto high-beam activation.
There are no changes to the Stingray’s mid-mounted 369kW 6.2L V8, but the safety tech does bring a range-wide $5000 price rise for a starting point of $175,000 before on-road costs for the 2LT Coupe.
If that’s not enough, the Corvette E-Ray is scheduled to arrive in Australia in the third quarter of 2024, with the hero ZR1 still under development likely to go on sale in 2026.
