2019 Corvette Grand Sport Coupe Safety

The 2019 Grand Sport hasn't been tested by either the IIHS or NHTSA, which comes as a surprise as the Corvette is basically an American icon, enjoyed by thousands across the country. Despite the lack of safety information, Chevrolet has spent millions in safety research, and with a bolstered aluminum frame and acceptable levels of standard safety equipment, the 2019 GS should prove to be safe in case of a severe accident.

2019 Corvette Grand Sport Coupe Key Safety Features

Although the 2019 Grand Sport has not been tested by any of the principal agencies, Chevrolet has made sure that the Corvette range will keep occupants safe by including some modern-day safety essentials such as large diameter Brembo performance brakes with ABS, and electronic brake-force distribution, advanced traction control, stability control, as well as front and side-impact airbags. Where the Corvette GS fails to impress is in the active safety feature department. There's no forward collision alert, lane-keep assist, or blind-spot monitoring.

2019 Corvette Grand Sport Coupe Reliability

The seventh generation of the Chevrolet Corvette has proven to be a reliable platform and has not been affected by any major recalls in the past three years. Since 2017, Chevrolet has issued three recalls that have affected the Corvette range. The first two were released in 2017, with the first relating to an issue with the airbag system that wouldn't deploy during an accident as well as a failure in the seat belt pretensioner system. The second recall for 2017 was due to a potential power steering failure resulting in steering becoming uncontrollable. The next recall was issued in 2019 due to a possible failure of the airbag system under hard acceleration or deceleration. The 2018 C7 Corvette achieved a score of 85 out of 100 from J.D. Power which backs up the opinion that the current 'Vette is a good one. Chevrolet makes sure that new owners are taken care of with a three-year/36,000 mile warranty with corrosion cover, drivetrain cover and roadside assistance for five-years /60,000 miles, a one-year/ two visit maintenance warranty, and a six-year rust-through warranty.
