I'm new to this, Can someone please explain the different trim levels to me, like the 1LT , 2LT and the 3LT trim levels ?

Thank you !

 

1LT - Base coupe all base models include:
6 speed manual and after 2006, a 6 speed auto
Stereo CD XM, MP3 jack starting in 2008
OnStar, leather seats, 6 way power driver seat, active handling
traction control, dual zone A/C, keyless access/start, foglamps
Tilt steering wheel, Cruise control, Tire pressure monitor
Body Color removable top and power hatch release with power pull down.
1LT Convertible includes power trunk release, and manual top. Side air bags, sport seats, power passenger seat, cargo net.

2LT Coupe - includes all of the 1LT plus seat mounted side impact air bags, sport seats, 6 way power passenger seat, cargo net and cargo shade.

3LT Coupe and Convertible - all of 1LT and 2LT options, plus includes uplevel equipment, Heads Up Display, power telescopic steering column, memory package, heated seats,
Auto dimming inside and outside mirrors, compass in rearview mirror, US9 6CD radio with BOSE 7 speaker system, steering wheel audio controls, universal home remote transmitter, power top for convertibles.
There is also a 4LT option as well which added custom leather wrapped interior.

In 2012, extras were added to the 2LT options including Nav Radio, BOSE, Bluetooth, USB, and Heads Up Display.

There is also a 2LZ, 3LZ and 3ZR options for Z06 and ZR1 vehicles.

 

It depends on the year, as the packages were slightly tweaked over the years.

As an example, Bose/Nav/HUD was added to the 2LT in 2012.

 

Also 2005 models did not have 1LT, 2LT. They had 1SA and 1SB packages

 

And 1SB was approximately equal to 3LT for most later years.

 

1LT is everything anyone needs. HUD would be nice.
but all the higher trims just add weight for useless features.

 

 

Then maybe you should be driving a C2 or a C3.

 

I added the HUD to my 07 1LT.

 

its a sports car not a luxury car.
I have a daily thats fully loaded if I want luxury.
no need to add weight for useless features

 

Only 171,424 of the 215,375 C6s built had an increased trim level. That's 79.6% of them built.

 

When I began my search for the C6, it had to be a 3LT or I wasn't interested. I bought my car to do road trips, thus my decision.
One may not use all the extra options, but they are there if ever you want to use them.
I can see if one is buying to race, a 1LT would be the one to get.
That's why they offer various option levels, to satisfy all the buyers

 

Awesome. From what I just read that means I have a 3LT package. But I have a question about the 6 CD radio. I have all of the things you listed under the 3LT coupe, including the Bose system, but from what I can tell I have a single disc player w/ navigation. Unless I am not doing it right, I can't figure out how to load more than one disc. My 2006 GTO had a 6 disc changer and all you had to do is hit the load button to add the next disc. Not that it's a big deal since the bluetooth FM transmitter I've been using is working pretty good, but if I could load more discs, too, that would be awesome.

 

The navigation system eliminates the 6-disc changer.

 

For you maybe...others like more features.

 

What's useless to you is obviously useful to others........many others......and the stats prove it.......just sayin.....

I never get it when someone comes in here with an opinion and think only they are right.

 

You eventually get used to other people always being wrong

 

​​​​@4SUMERZ I think your option list is slightly off on the 1LT section.

I have a 2007 2LT Z51 Coupe (according to the build sheet sent from Chevrolet) that did not come with OnStar nor XM radio unless the formatting of your option list is out of whack and I'm reading it wrong. My build sheet says OnStar was available.

 

lol I can live with that.

 

Thank you for pointing that out. I was going off the Corvette Black book and there were indeed changes to the 1LT option list over the years as I look more closely. I was to the belief that it was always included, as I looked at the 2008
data for the lists.
Starting In 2008, 1LT option list added OnStar and XM. 2005-2007 did not have those options in the 1LT package. From 2005-2007 1SB or 3LT was required to get Onstar and XM.

My apologies for that error.
