2025 Chevrolet Corvette

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Corvette.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette, equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission, achieves EPA fuel economy ratings of 16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. With only 10 total owner complaints logged for this model year—compared to the model's historical complaint range spanning 8 in 1992 (the lowest) to 588 in 2008 (the highest) across its 1990-2025 coverage period—the 2025 sits well below the complaint levels typically seen throughout the vehicle's history. The top reported concern involves seats, and three recalls have been issued, yet this complaint volume indicates substantially stronger owner satisfaction relative to the model's long-term reliability patterns.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 97,500 mi; coolant every 45,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 45,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Corvette continues the C8 generation's improving federal-record trajectory, posting the lowest complaint count (10) and TSB volume (297) since the mid-engine redesign launched in 2020, when complaints stood at 34 and TSBs at 919. Recalls ticked up to three — matching the 2020 level but above the single-digit counts of 2022-2023 — while investigations remain at zero for the sixth consecutive year. The complaint mix is narrow: two seat-related reports and one each for service brakes, powertrain/engine, and an uncategorized issue; the data does not specify root causes. Crash complaints are absent and fire complaints total one, consistent with the low-severity pattern seen since 2021. Across the 2020-2025 arc, both complaint frequency and service-bulletin activity have declined steadily, suggesting maturing production quality. Takeaway: the 2025 model represents the cleanest federal-record snapshot of the C8 era to date, making it a strong candidate for buyers prioritizing documented reliability.
