General Motors has revealed a fully redesigned cabin and upgraded digital cockpit for the 2026 Corvette lineup, including Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1 variants. The changes for the mid-engine eighth-generation Corvette include expanded screens, reconfigured controls, and new customization options.

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette interior introduces a revised three-screen configuration to enhance driver engagement. The setup includes a 12.7-inch centre touchscreen, a 14-inch driver information centre, and a new 6.6-inch auxiliary display to the left of the steering wheel. Each screen offers configurable layouts and access to performance data. Select trims, including the ZR1, can be fitted with a carbon fibre cluster hood above the driver display to match other available carbon fibre elements.

All 2026 Corvettes feature a bespoke infotainment system built on Google’s in-vehicle platform, with voice-activated control over navigation, media, communication, and in-car features. OnStar-based services offer access to apps including Chrome, Prime Video, and GameSnacks, usable while parked.

The new auxiliary touchscreen provides dedicated space for trip tracking, Performance Traction Management, and propulsion metrics. The digital displays’ tour, Sport, and Track themes have been modernized, with drivers able to select a preferred layout or allow the system to adjust according to drive mode.

The Corvette Performance App, now available across the full lineup, consolidates key vehicle data into a single interface. Features include:

• Configurable acceleration timers
• G-force readings with historical data
• Tire pressure and temperature status
• Engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid temperatures
• eAWD monitoring for E-Ray models, including front axle output and battery charge

The updated Performance Data Recorder features an enhanced user interface and larger screen integration. It provides real-time analytics, high-definition video recording, and playback tools, including speed trace visualization and performance tips based on driver behavior.

 

The new PTM Pro mode is added to all Corvette variants, allowing for track-focused driving by disabling stability and traction controls while preserving ABS and, for E-Ray, key front axle controls.

The centre console has been reengineered for improved ergonomics, relocating the drive mode selector to align with the gear shifter. In its previous location, a new wireless phone charging pad is now housed under a covered console section. A larger volume knob with a lit base improves visibility.

HVAC controls have moved below the centre display, opening space between occupants and allowing for a newly integrated passenger grab handle. A USB-C port has been added to the passenger side.

Corvette introduces its first asymmetrical interior layout in the 2026 model year. The new Adrenaline Red and Jet Black scheme visually separates the driver and passenger zones, and a mixed seating configuration allows customers to specify a race-inspired driver’s seat paired with a GT2 passenger seat.

Four additional interior themes debut across all models:

• Sky Cool & Medium Ash Gray with Habanero accents
• Santorini Blue
• Very Dark Atmosphere (a chocolate brown tone with black and tan accents)
• Ultimate Suede, featuring microfiber upholstery and colour-customizable stitching and seatbelts

The Ultimate Suede option brings suede microfiber to most interior surfaces, and customers may choose from accent colours such as Adrenaline Red, Santorini Blue, and Competition Yellow.

The ZR1’s ZTK package introduces the largest braking system ever installed on a production Corvette, including 10-piston front calipers, 6-piston rear calipers, and carbon ceramic rotors.

A new electrochromic roof option allows users to adjust roof glass tint to one of three settings—low, medium, or full—via a button press. For the E-Ray model, the Charge+ function has been relocated to the steering wheel below the Z Mode button for quicker access.

Exterior options are updated with a new asymmetrical centre stripe (Edge Red/Carbon Flash), standard body colour rocker panels for E-Ray, and optional blue brake calipers for Z06 and E-Ray. Two new exterior paint colours—Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic—will be available across the lineup.

The Corvette continues to be assembled at General Motors’ Bowling Green facility in Kentucky, using domestic and globally sourced components. In Canada, the Corvette has led luxury sports car sales for over five consecutive years, according to Chevrolet.
