2026 Chevrolet Corvette Gets New Interior

Written by CarPro | May 13, 2025 5:02:23 PM

Chevrolet is updating the Corvette interior for the 2026 model year. The entire Corvette lineup — Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1 — receives larger and more advanced driver-centric displays and fresh interior colorways, finishes and materials.

“Corvette is the ultimate American sports car, which is why it has remained the luxury sport segment leader for more than 20 years — with the next competitor a distant second in terms of market share,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. "With these updates, the mid-engine Corvette will continue to cement its leadership for years to come.”

The cabin features a new three-screen layout and console design.  The screen layout includes a larger 12.7-inch diagonal center console display, an expanded 14-inch diagonal driver information center, and an all-new 6.6-inch diagonal touchscreen auxiliary display to the left of the steering wheel. 

“The design team considered every element — from materials, to stitching, to layout of the interior - for the 2026 Corvette,” said Phil Zak, executive design director, Global Chevrolet. “Paired with the new screens and technology, the refreshed interior enables a refined experience for the driver and the passenger.”  

Chevrolet says a reconfigured center console places all crucial controls at the driver’s fingertips. Other changes for 2026 include a redesigned drive mode selector that's been relocated in line with the gear selector. In its place, a new wireless phone charging pad with a cover is integrated below the infotainment system.  Designers also made the volume knob bigger and gave it a lit base to make it easier to see.

The 2026 Corvette debuts four additional new interior color schemes, available on all models:

  • Sky Cool and Medium Ash Gray with Habanero accents: Monochrome cool grays with pops of bright Habanero
  • Santorini Blue: Vivid shade of blue  
  • Very Dark Atmosphere: Rich chocolate brown paired with Jet Black and Natural Tan accents
  • Ultimate Suede: Jet Black suede interior customizable through Adrenaline Red, Santorini Blue, and Competition Yellow accent stitch colors and matching seatbelts

“This is Chevrolet’s first asymmetrical interior,” said Lindsey Grant, color, material, and finish design manager, Global Chevrolet. “The Jet Black and Adrenaline Red complement each other well as they run through the dash, center console and seats, drawing a dramatic separation between the driver and passenger areas.” 

Designers also repositioned the HVAC controls under the center display, which made space for an integrated passenger grab handle. On the passenger side, a new USB-C port located below the grab handle.

Even the cupholders are treated to a redesign that includes hand-wrapped inserts with ambient lighting. They feature the signature Corvette crossed flags at the bottom. In 2LT/2LZ and 3LT/3LZ trims, the cupholders are highlighted with real aluminum.

Standard on ZR1 and available on E-Ray and Z06, a new carbon fiber display hood over the driver information center screen enables further customization and ties into carbon fiber options already offered on Corvette.

 

Also new for 2026:  The E-Ray Performance App, that shows live horsepower and torque flow, and data plots of power flow over time, is now enabled for the entire Corvette lineup.
