America\u2019s mid-engine supercar is getting a mid-cycle refresh.<\/p>\n

Since Chevrolet dropped the mic six years ago with the stunning, first-ever mid-engine Corvette Stingray, the eighth-generation rocket has maintained sales momentum with a series of performance models: the high-revving, 670-horsepower 2022 Corvette Z06; all-wheel-drive, gas-electric hybrid 2023 E-Ray; and 1,064-hp, 233-mph, twin-turbo-V8-powered 2025 ZR1.<\/p>\n

For the 2026 model year, the focus moves from engine bay to cockpit.<\/p>\n

For 2026, the Chevrolet Corvette options an asymmetrical interior option. For example, this interior mixes a red driver’s seat with black passenger throne.<\/em><\/div>\n

Already one of the most luxurious supercars on the planet at a fraction of the price of its European peers, Corvette generation 8 1\/2 introduces a refined interior that pushes the envelope of sports car comfort and technology. The driver-centric cockpit wraps the pilot in three screens with upgraded graphics and enhanced tech \u2014 drawing from a deep well of General Motors Co. engineering that smaller exotic brands can only dream about.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Vette\u2019s signature center console gets reordered with climate control buttons moved from the signature center spine to sub-screen buttons like other Chevrolets. The spine is now a dedicated \u201cOh-Crap!\u201d handle for passengers.<\/p>\n

The console itself is more ordered with drive mode selector in line with the trigger shifter, while the cockpit\u2019s wardrobe is expanded with a wealth of color options \u2014 including an asymmetrical seat option. The reimagined interior is applied to all Corvette models.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe design team considered every element \u2014 from materials, to stitching, to layout of the interior \u2014 for the 2026 Corvette,\u201d said Global Chevrolet Executive Design Director Phil Zak. \u201cPaired with the new screens and technology, the refreshed interior enables a refined experience for the driver and the passenger.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three-screen layout includes a larger 12.7-inch diagonal center console display \u2014 a significant expansion over the last model\u2019s 8-inch display that is now run by the same Google Built-in operating system as other GM products. When drivers aren\u2019t gritting their teeth around high g-force corners, they can bark voice commands at the supercar to, say, navigate to a destination or change the cabin temp.<\/p>\n
