Who it suits. Drivers wanting a rear-wheel-drive two-seater Highway trips where 25 MPG is achievable Buyers accepting the $4550 annual fuel-cost estimate
The 2027 Corvette makes sense for someone specifically seeking a rear-wheel-drive two-seater with a large gasoline engine and automatic transmission. Its strongest fuel figure is 25 MPG on the highway, while stop-and-go driving is rated at 15 MPG. At 18 MPG combined, the EPA annual fuel-cost estimate reaches $4550, and tailpipe CO2 is 485 grams per mile. If those operating numbers fit your budget and driving pattern, the Corvette's simple EPA profile is clear; if not, compare other two-seat cars by their combined MPG.
What it is
The 2027 Corvette is a Chevrolet two-seater car with rear-wheel drive.
Its defining EPA figure is 18 MPG combined. That is the single number to use when your driving mixes city streets and highways.
The numbers
EPA rates the Corvette at 15 MPG in city driving and 25 MPG on the highway. The combined rating is 18 MPG.
Its tailpipe output is 485 grams of CO2 per mile. You can use these figures when comparing cars by MPG.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost figure is $4550. That estimate reflects the Corvette's 18 MPG combined rating and gasoline powertrain.
How it compares
Its 18 combined MPG provides a direct basis for comparing fuel use with other cars. The city and highway ratings show how that figure is composed.
The Corvette's 15 city MPG and 25 highway MPG show how its fuel use changes with the type of driving, while its $4550 annual fuel-cost figure puts the running expense in dollar terms.
Who it suits
This Corvette suits a buyer who wants a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive gasoline car and accepts the EPA's $4550 annual fuel-cost estimate.
It also fits drivers whose trips include highway miles, where the rating reaches 25 MPG rather than the 15 MPG city figure.
Trade-offs
The 6.7 L eight-cylinder engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, and two-seat body define the package. Fuel use is the cost of that choice: 15 MPG city, 18 combined, and 25 highway.
The EPA lists 485 grams of CO2 per mile and $4550 in annual fuel cost. Those figures may matter more than the highway rating if most of your miles are in town.
Verdict
Choose the 2027 Corvette if a two-seat layout and rear-wheel drive come before minimizing gasoline use. Its 25 MPG highway result can help on longer trips, but the 15 MPG city rating pulls the combined figure to 18 MPG. The EPA's $4550 yearly fuel estimate and 485 grams of CO2 per mile make the running-cost trade-off clear.
