General Motors has reportedly scrapped its plans to expand the Corvette brand with an SUV, an electric vehicle, and a four-door sedan, according to multiple sources. The decision to abandon these models, which were expected to launch by 2026, comes amid a softening market for electric vehicles and potential backlash from Corvette loyalists. Chevrolet will now focus on its traditional sports car lineup, including the current C8 generation and the upcoming C9 model. The Corvette SUV was intended to compete with the Porsche Cayenne, while the electric model and four-door sedan were to rival the Porsche Taycan and other luxury electric sedans.
The Corvette sub-brand, which was reportedly in development since 2022, would have utilized GM's BEV Prime Platform, a premium version of the BEV3 platform used in Cadillac's electric SUVs. Despite the cancellation, Chevrolet continues to explore modern powertrain technology, offering two hybrid powertrains in the existing C8-generation Corvette.
