Open the door to a different Corvette.
The 2026 Corvette brings the most substantial interior refresh since the C8 debuted. Step inside and everything has shifted — the divisive wall of climate buttons is gone, materials are more premium, and the cabin pivots around the driver. New colorways set the tone before you've even turned the key.
Three-Screen Layout
12.7" center display, 14" driver information center and a new 6.6" auxiliary touchscreen.
No More "Wall of Buttons"
The vertical climate-button strip between driver and passenger is gone — replaced by HVAC controls under the main display.
Revised Center Console
Drive Mode Selector is now a smaller toggle to the right of the gear selector for a cleaner layout.
Repositioned Wireless Charging
The wireless charging pad has moved to a more accessible spot on the center console.
Passenger Grab Handle with USB-C
A new passenger grab handle now houses a convenient USB-C port.
Backlit Cupholders
Redesigned with hand-wrapped, backlit inserts featuring the Corvette crossed flags logo.
New Colors & Trim
Gray, orange, blue and dark brown — plus an asymmetrical "red driver / black passenger" cabin option.
Three new displays. One command center.
Step closer and the story sharpens: the entire dashboard has been rebuilt around three driver-focused screens — a 12.7" center display, a 14" Driver Information Center and an all-new 6.6" auxiliary touchscreen left of the steering wheel.
