Chevrolet Unveils 2026 Corvette Interior — Fixes Major Interior Problem

In its mission to offer supercar performance at sports car prices, the Chevrolet Corvette has been unassailably successful. Chevy’s engineers knocked it out of the park, but its interior designers took some big swings and suffered some strikeouts. Now the automaker has revealed that its designers have remedied one of the mid-engine Corvette’s biggest flaws.

Chevrolet revealed the interior of the 2026 Corvette today (unfortunately, the exterior is still under wraps) and showed the world how it rearranged the buttons inside the car and introduced a new infotainment stack. Gone is the line of buttons along the rampart that sits between the driver and the passenger, which was widely panned by critics. Now, the Corvette features a much more conventional dash, made up of HVAC buttons under the infotainment screen, a covered wireless phone charger below that (to keep your phone from flying around the cabin while you pull big Gs under hard cornering) and behind that a pair of cupholders.

That infotainment screen is new, too. A Google built-in operating system powers the 14-inch infotainment screen, the 12.7-inch instrument display, as well the new 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen to the driver’s left. The brand-new little screen is driver-configurable and can show information like trip mileage, traction management, or, in the case of the E-Ray, can show you where the power is coming from at any given moment. Although the new screens are standard across the lineup, the highest-performance trims (ZR1, E-Ray, and Z06) will feature a carbon fibre hood to envelop them.

Not everything is digital, though. Chevrolet says that it wanted to be careful about which features are controlled with physical buttons and which are controlled with virtual ones. For instance, the volume knob remains and it is now illuminated to make it easier to find at night. Meanwhile, moving the HUD adjustment controls moved to the screen, freeing up space in the cabin to make the Performance Traction Management controls physical. Everything can also be operated by a driver’s voice if they don’t want to press anything at all. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be available optionally.

In addition, the Performance App that was formerly only available to E-Ray owners will now be available to all Corvette owners. It features an acceleration timer, a G-force gauge, tire pressure and temperature information, oil temperature and pressure gauges, and more. The available Performance Data Recorder has also undergone a complete overhaul and has been optimized for the car’s new larger screens.

On the less technological side of the equation, Chevrolet has also revealed that the Corvette will get five new interior colour options. They are Sky Cool and Medium Ash Gray with Habanero accents (a combination of grays with bright accents), Santorini Blue, Very Dark Atmosphere (which combines rich chocolate browns black and tan accents), Ultimate Suede (Jet Black suede with red, blue, or yellow stitching), and, finally an asymmetrical option. While the above colourways combine multiple hues, they remain consistent throughout the cabin. The Corvette’s new Jet Black and Adrenaline Red interior upholsters the driver’s side of the cabin in red and the passenger’s in black. The combination will go perfectly with the asymmetrical exterior paint stripe, which combines Edge Red with Carbon Flash.

Buyers who opt for a Corvette with targa roof glass can opt for an electrochromic roof, which changes the tint of the glass on the fly. Although we can’t see them yet, the 2026 Corvette will also be available with two new exterior colours: Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic.

Full details on the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette, including pricing, will be shared at a later date.
