2026 Corvette – New Cockpit Design

For the 2026 model year, the entire Corvette lineup — Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1 — will feature a thoroughly reimagined cabin with larger and more advanced driver-centric displays and fresh interior colorways, finishes and materials.

Inside: where form meets function
The cabin of the new 2026 Corvette welcomes both driver and passenger, beginning with a new three-screen layout and reimagined console design. The updated driver-centric cockpit 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 center console has been reconfigured to place all crucial controls at the driver’s fingertips. For 2026, the drive mode selector has been redesigned and relocated in line with the gear selector. In its place, a new wireless phone charging pad1 is integrated below the infotainment system, with a cover to keep the phone in place. The volume knob remains a priority in the center console display and is now bigger and features a lit base for better visibility.

The HVAC controls have been repositioned under the center display, creating a more open environment between driver and passenger and enabling space for an integrated passenger grab handle. The passenger side also adds a new USB-C2 port strategically placed below the grab handle.

The redesigned cupholders include hand-wrapped inserts with ambient lighting, and 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.

Technology and performance unite
The seamless integration of updated hardware and software brings remarkable enhancements to the 2026 Corvette’s bespoke cockpit and built-in infotainment system. The three new configurable driver-centric displays are larger with sharper colors, more agility and added functionality.
The addition of an all-new 6.6-inch diagonal touchscreen auxiliary display gives dedicated, driver-configurable space for instrumentation like trip mileage or Performance Traction Management, making important information easier to access.

Tour, Sport and Track display designs have also been modernized with new animations and cleaner graphics for the speedometer, tachometer, and other gauges. Drivers can select a preferred screen layout or let the theme change with the corresponding drive mode.

The E-Ray Performance App was introduced in model year 2024, showing live horsepower and torque flow, plus data plots of power flow over time. Corvette developers have taken that a step further for 2026 models, enabling the Performance App for the entire Corvette lineup. Power and torque flow gauges are maintained, and additional capability has been added or consolidated into the app:
- Acceleration timers: Relocated to the Performance App, drivers can now set their own speed ranges for timed acceleration
- G-force gauge: Reimagined to show the limits of force the vehicle has achieved over time, providing more context than live G-force readings alone
- Tire pressure and temperature gauge: Shows live tire pressures and indicates tire temperature to help drivers anticipate available grip
- Propulsion system vitals gauge: Live feed of temperatures for engine oil temperature and pressure, engine coolant temperature, and transmission fluid temperature
- eAWD gauge: Highlights front axle power output and battery state-of-charge for E-Ray

All 2026 Corvettes feature a custom infotainment system with Google Built-in3, fully integrated with vehicle controls. With OnStar4 connectivity available, the Corvette packs convenience and entertainment to match its world-class performance. Customers can use voice assistance to control everything from opening the Performance Data Recorder to navigation, adjusting cabin temperature, playing your favorite song, texting, making phone calls and more. New apps like Google Chrome, GameSnacks, HBO Max, Prime Video, and others available through Google Play5 allow occupants to stream movies, play games, and browse the web while parked.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available.
