Corvette's New Cockpit: Less Buttons, More Screens
Chevrolet just ripped out the Corvette's interior and started over.
The result might actually be worth it.
Digital Overhaul That Doesn't Suck
The 2026 Corvette ditches that ridiculous wall of climate buttons for a cleaner, driver-focused cockpit that finally acknowledges we're in the digital age.
Three screens now dominate: a 14-inch digital gauge cluster, 12.7-inch center display, and 6.6-inch auxiliary screen. That's 33.3 inches of total screen real estate – without looking like Tesla's minimalist nightmare.
The center console gets streamlined. Wireless charging pad included. Grab handle retained. Cupholders finally exposed without that silly retractable cover nobody liked.
GM's designers apparently remembered people actually drive these things.
Materials Worth Touching
Chevrolet's finally treating Corvette owners like they didn't just win a rental car lottery.
Premium materials now extend throughout the cabin:
- Genuine leather with contrast stitching that doesn't look like an afterthought
- Carbon fiber trim that's actually carbon fiber, not plastic with a pattern
- Suede touches in places your hands actually contact
The two-tone interior options include an asymmetrical setup with a red driver's seat paired with a black passenger seat. Because your passenger doesn't deserve the same level of excitement.
Tech That Matters
The "magic sunroof" option brings electrochromic glass that changes transparency at the press of a button. No more removable panels to store in the trunk.
Infotainment gets a complete overhaul with graphics that don't look borrowed from a 2010 Malibu.
Physical controls remain for critical functions – a nod to drivers who actually wear driving gloves and push the 495-hp Stingray (or 670-hp Z06) toward redline.
The redesign extends across all Corvette variants: Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and the upcoming ZR1. Each gets unique color schemes and material combinations.
Chevrolet's finally built an interior worthy of what happens when you stomp the throttle.
