As a proud Corvette dealer here at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis, we have seen the evolution of this legendary American sports car firsthand—but the 2026 lineup is something truly extraordinary. Whether you’re eyeing the Stingray, Z06, E-Ray, or the range-topping ZR1, every 2026 Corvette now comes with a completely reimagined interior that blends advanced technology with upscale craftsmanship. This update doesn’t just look good—it addresses past concerns and brings driver and passenger comfort to the forefront.
A Cabin Built for Command and Comfort
Chevrolet has given the Corvette’s interior a complete redesign for 2026, transforming the cockpit into a place where form meets function. One of the biggest changes is the removal of the vertical “button wall” that used to separate driver and passenger. In its place, you’ll find a sleek, open layout that includes a sturdy grab handle for the passenger, making the space feel more inclusive and balanced.
Every design detail, from the materials to the stitching, has been thoughtfully refined. The driver still gets a focused experience, but now the passenger can enjoy the ride just as much. It's performance-oriented, yes—but also welcoming.
Three Screens, Total Control
Drivers will love the new triple-screen layout, which puts performance data and vital controls right where you need them:
A 14-inch driver display (up from 12 inches)
A 12.7-inch center touchscreen (a significant upgrade)
A new 6.6-inch auxiliary screen near the steering wheel
Whether you're monitoring G-forces, checking tire temps, or customizing your layout for daily driving vs. track mode, this system is all about precision and personalization.
Smarter Performance Tools
The 2026 Corvette takes performance data to a new level. Chevrolet has expanded the Performance App and upgraded the Performance Data Recorder (PDR), allowing you to log high-def video with telemetry, compare lap data, and even get speed tips to improve your driving. It’s like having a built-in racing coach.
From horsepower and torque visualization to eAWD metrics (on E-Ray models), tire pressure monitoring, and acceleration timers—you can see it all in real time. These features aren’t just for track junkies; they’re great tools for anyone who wants to better understand and connect with their car.
Tech That Works For You
Every 2026 Corvette comes with Google Built-in. That means voice control, intuitive navigation, and access to apps like YouTube, HBO Max, and Google Chrome when parked. You’ll also find Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration.
And yes, even the volume knob got an upgrade—it’s larger and backlit for better visibility. Little details like the new leather shelf below the screen give your hand a place to rest while using the touchscreen.
Color Like You’ve Never Seen
New to the Corvette world: asymmetrical interior color options. Think bold Adrenaline Red for the driver and Jet Black for the passenger—making your Corvette look and feel like a true performance machine. You can even mix and match racing-style driver seats with GT-style passenger seats.
Additional color options include:
Sky Cool Gray & Habanero Orange: Futuristic and energetic
Santorini Blue: A daring choice for bold personalities
Very Dark Atmosphere: A warm, premium brown for long-distance cruising
Ultimate Suede: Luxurious suede finishes with stitching in your choice of red, yellow, or blue
Craftsmanship That Shows
From the Ultimate Suede package to carbon fiber accents and hand-wrapped cupholders with ambient lighting, no detail has been overlooked. The center console has been completely rethought for better ergonomics, including an easier-to-reach drive mode selector and a new wireless phone charger with a protective lid.
Every trim level—2LT and above—includes premium aluminum finishes in the cupholders and other touchpoints. And with options like the carbon fiber display hood now standard on the ZR1 and available on the E-Ray and Z06, performance aesthetics come built-in.
Why It Matters to You
If you’re looking for a sports car that delivers on power and polish, the 2026 Corvette is in a class of its own. This isn’t just a refresh—it’s a leap forward. With unmatched attention to detail, advanced technology, and a driver-focused environment that’s now more inviting than ever, the new Corvette is ready to dominate both the road and the track.
Come by and see for yourself. The future of performance is here—and it’s waiting for you in the driver’s seat.
