What the 2LT Adds Over the 1LT on a Corvette Stingray

The 2LT keeps all of that. Then it piles on more. The 2027 Stingray 2LT comes standard with:
- Heated and ventilated driver and passenger seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Head-Up Display
- Bose Performance Series 14-speaker audio system
- HD Front and Rear Vision Cameras
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert
- Performance data and video recorder
- Memory Driver and Passenger Convenience Package
- Power lumbar control and seatback bolster for both seats
- Universal Home Remote
- Driver-side auto-dimming, power-folding heated outside mirrors

Comfort and Cabin
Seat comfort is the biggest everyday difference. The 2LT adds heating and ventilation to both seats, plus power lumbar and bolster adjustment. You can tune the seat to your body and the weather, and that counts for a lot on a hot Mississauga summer drive.
Driver-Assist and Cameras in Mississauga Traffic
The 2LT pairs a front camera with the rear one. It’s a real help when you’re nosing up to curbs and steep driveways.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert are also standard on the 2LT. Neither is available on the 1LT. Weigh that carefully if your drives include the busy 401 and 403 and tight mall parking lots.
Head-Up Display, Data Recorder and Memory
The Head-Up Display projects key information into your line of sight. It’s standard on the 2LT and not available on the 1LT.
The Performance data and video recorder is available on the 1LT and standard on the 2LT. The Memory Driver and Passenger Convenience Package, meanwhile, is standard on the 2LT and not available on the 1LT. It’s handy if two drivers share the car.
What Stays the Same on Every 2027 Corvette Stingray Trim
Moving from 1LT to 2LT doesn’t change performance. According to Chevrolet Canada, every 2027 Stingray uses:
- A 6.7-litre, direct-injected, naturally aspirated LS6 V8
- Up to 535 hp and up to 520 lb-ft of torque
- A 13.0:1 compression ratio
- An 8-speed dual-clutch transmission
- Rear-wheel drive
With available equipment, the Stingray runs 0-96 km/h in 2.8 seconds. Its top track speed is 322 km/h.
Chevrolet Canada rates every trim at 15.7 L/100 km city and 9.4 L/100 km highway. Both trims come as a Coupe or a Convertible, and both seat two. You can explore the full lineup on Chevrolet Canada’s Corvette page.
The Z51 Performance Package on Both Trims
The Z51 Performance Package is available on all trims, and its high-performance run-flat tires are summer-only. It also brings Z51 performance Brembo brakes. Got questions about tire care? You can book a service appointment with the Addison GM team.

What does Stingray mean in a Corvette?
Stingray is the Corvette model described on Chevrolet Canada’s Corvette page. It’s the mid-engine sports car powered by the naturally aspirated 6.7-litre LS6 V8, offered in 1LT, 2LT and 3LT trims. Chevrolet Canada’s Corvette page includes a section called “What is a Corvette Stingray?” if you’d like the brand’s own description. The Addison GM team can also explain how the Stingray fits within the wider Corvette family.
What engine is in the 2027 Corvette Stingray?
Every trim uses a 6.7-litre, direct-injected, naturally aspirated LS6 V8. Chevrolet rates it at up to 535 hp and up to 520 lb-ft of torque, with a 13.0:1 compression ratio. It pairs with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive. With available equipment, Chevrolet lists a 0-96 km/h time of 2.8 seconds. Choosing the 2LT over the 1LT changes your equipment, not your performance.
Is the 2027 Corvette Stingray available as a convertible?
Yes. Chevrolet Canada offers the Stingray in two body styles, Coupe and Convertible. Both seat two people. The trim structure carries across both, so you can pair the Convertible with 1LT, 2LT or 3LT equipment. A 2LT Convertible, for example, gives you open-air driving along with heated and ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel. Contact Addison GM to see which combinations suit you.
Does the 2027 Corvette Stingray have heated seats?
It depends on the trim. Heated and ventilated driver and passenger seats are standard on the 2LT. Chevrolet lists them as not available on the 1LT, so they can’t be added to that trim later. The heated steering wheel follows the same pattern: standard on the 2LT and not available on the 1LT. If heated seats are a must-have, start your search at the 2LT.
What is the Z51 Performance Package on the Corvette Stingray?
The Z51 Performance Package is available on all trims. It adds Z51 performance Brembo brakes, Z51 performance suspension, a performance ratio rear axle and an Electronic Limited-Slip Differential. You also get a Z51-specific front splitter and rear spoiler, plus a heavy-duty cooling system. The package includes Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 run-flat tires, which are summer-only.
