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.
“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.”
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 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.”

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.
“There’s an intentional balance of physical and virtual controls,” said Dusty Smith, performance driving product manager. “For example, the head-up display controls are now virtualized, which opens space for Performance Traction Management controls to be intuitive physical buttons. The technology in the new Corvette is as strong and capable as the engine behind you.”
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 gauges are available in the touchscreen auxiliary display and Performance App in the center console display. They can also be sent from the app to the driver information center in Tour and Sport for further customization.
The available Performance Data Recorder has undergone a complete user interface overhaul. With system improvements and larger screens, the enhanced PDR offers real-time data analysis in-car and the ability to record high-definition video of every driving session. Drivers are empowered to analyze their performance and make data-driven adjustments for optimal results based on speed trace analysis, side by side video playback, and automated “speed tips” based on your driving data through the center console display.
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.
Ultimate craftsmanship
Corvette’s new interior focuses on ultimate craftsmanship, and provides customers with an elevated, modern appearance, offering bespoke customization options – including a Corvette-first asymmetrical interior colorway, available in Jet Black and Adrenaline Red.

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 unexpected pops of bright Habanero
- Santorini Blue: Vivid shade of blue that is both vibrant and electric
- 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.”https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/TdjBf5ebceM?si=52SeM9xNH1YSchhX
Customers can even spec a mixed seating option in Asymmetrical Adrenaline Red, with a racing-inspired Adrenaline Red Competition driver’s seat and a Jet Black GT2 passenger seat.
The Ultimate Suede interior brings sueded microfiber to nearly all interior surfaces.
Additional highlights
- For the first time since Performance Traction Management was introduced, a new mode is being added across all Corvette variants: PTM Pro. PTM Pro turns off electronic stability control and traction control, while leaving ABS and certain E-Ray-specific front axle controls active, minimizing vehicle intervention for drivers who want maximum control.
- Corvette ZR1’s ZTK performance package will be equipped with an all-new brake package featuring 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers, and carbon ceramic discs – all of which are the largest ever fitted to a production Corvette.
- A new, available electrochromic roof, which allows customers to change the tint level of their targa roof glass at the press of a button – selecting between full, medium, and low tint options.
- The button to activate Charge+, which enables E-Ray drivers to replenish battery life more quickly or sustain battery charge for a track session, has been relocated to the steering wheel. Located just below the Z Mode button, Charge+ now has a more prominent location for ease of use.
- A new asymmetrical exterior center stripe is available in Edge Red/Carbon Flash.
- Body color rocker panels are now standard on E-Ray and available on Z06.
- Blue brake calipers, currently available on ZR1, will be available on E-Ray and Z06.
- Two new exterior color options are available for all models: Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic.
Eighth generation Corvette at a glance
- Corvette is assembled with domestically and globally-sourced parts at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
- Stingray initiated Corvette’s mid-engine revolution in 2019, elevating America’s sports car with style, performance and unmatched value.
- Z06 put the world on notice in 2022 with the world’s most powerful naturally aspirated production V8 engine – a hand-built 5.5L flat plane crank V8 that screams to 8,600 rpm and makes 670 hp. With direct ties to the storied Corvette Racing program, Z06 is a racecar for the street.
- E-Ray was unveiled in January 2023, on the 70th anniversary of Corvette. The first Corvette to feature electric AWD paired with a classic Chevrolet Small Block V8, the E-Ray is one like none.
- ZR1 unleashed the unthinkable – a 1,064 hp, 233 mph Corvette. The most powerful, quickest, and fastest Corvette ever.
Navigating Vehicle Maintenance in Western Washington: How Burien Chevrolet Keeps You Road-Ready
Living in Western Washington means embracing a unique blend of weather patterns, traffic conditions, and terrain that can significantly impact your vehicle’s performance and longevity. From the relentless rain to the occasional snowstorm, and from congested urban roads to mountainous passes, your car faces challenges that demand specialized care.
At Burien Chevrolet, we understand these regional demands and are committed to providing top-tier maintenance and service to ensure your vehicle operates safely and efficiently year-round.
The Western Washington Driving Environment
Rain and Wet Conditions
Western Washington is renowned for its frequent rainfall, which can lead to slick roads and reduced visibility. Proper tire maintenance is crucial; tires should have adequate tread depth to channel water effectively and prevent hydroplaning. Windshield wipers and lights must be in optimal condition to ensure clear visibility during downpours. Neglecting these components can increase the risk of accidents during wet conditions.
Snow and Ice
While less common in the lowlands, snow and ice are prevalent in higher elevations and mountain passes. Washington State law requires vehicles to have traction tires or carry chains during winter conditions. Traction tires must have at least an eighth of an inch of tread and be labeled M+S, All Season, or have a Mountain/Snowflake symbol. Ensuring your vehicle is equipped with appropriate tires and that chains are in good condition is essential for safe winter driving.
Traffic and Urban Driving
The Seattle metropolitan area is known for its heavy traffic, which can lead to increased wear on brakes and engines due to frequent stop-and-go conditions. Regular brake inspections and engine maintenance are vital to prevent premature wear and ensure your vehicle can handle urban driving demands.

Royal Leamington Spa, England – General Motors has expanded its global design studio footprint with the official opening of a new advanced design studio in Royal Leamington Spa, about 20 miles from Birmingham.
In connection with the opening, GM revealed an advanced design study Chevrolet Corvette concept car developed by the UK team as part of a global design project involving multiple studios that will see additional Corvette concepts revealed throughout 2025.
Angle view of the new Chevrolet Corvette concept car.
The studio opening also provided a first glimpse of a GMC concept vehicle to be revealed later in 2025, developed in partnership with the GMC design team in Detroit.
GM’s design teams regularly work on conceptual design studies that are intended to drive ideation, innovation, and collaboration across the company.
With the opening of the UK studio, GM continues to demonstrate its commitment to Europe as the company scales its Cadillac electric vehicle business there, while also preparing to launch Corvette sales across the UK and mainland Europe.
Side view of the new Chevrolet Corvette concept car.
The UK design studio is an integral part of GM’s global design footprint, providing valuable insights into European customer and cultural trends and introducing new talent and fresh perspectives into GM’s global network. GM’s global design footprint also spans studios in Detroit, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Seoul.
The UK studio is led by Julian Thomson, a deeply experienced automotive designer who has worked with some of the industry’s most recognized brands. The 24,584-square-foot Royal Leamington Spa studio, which employs more than 30 designers and creative team members, is outfitted for both digital and physical clay model development.

“Our advanced design team’s mandate extends well beyond creating production vehicles,” said Michael Simcoe, senior VP of global design. “While they collaborate within our global design network on production and concept vehicle programs, these teams are primarily tasked with imagining what mobility could look like five, 10, and even 20 years into the future and driving innovation for GM.”
The Corvette nameplate has long been leveraged to introduce experimental cars, concepts and prototypes that push the boundaries of automotive design and engineering, and the new UK design concept is no exception. While there is no production intention behind this concept, the GM UK Design team undertook this exercise to rethink what a Corvette could be with a true blank-page approach.
“As part of the Corvette creative study, we asked multiple studios to develop hypercar concepts, which we’ll see more of later this year,” Simcoe said. “It was important that they all pay homage to Corvette’s historic DNA, but each studio brought their own unique creative interpretation to the project. That is exactly what our advanced design studio network is intended to do – push the envelope, challenge convention and imagine what could be.”
Exterior view of the new UK Design Center
The UK team’s concept subtly incorporates Corvette’s iconic design heritage into a futuristic aesthetic focused on clean forms and muscular shapes. The design draws inspiration from the aviation industry, both in the sculptural and functional elements.
“One of the most unusual and significant aspects of our concept’s design is a feature known as Apex Vision,” said Thomson. “A nod to Corvette’s centerline focus, and inspired by the iconic ‘split window’ 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, this feature emphasizes a singular vertical central spine that is also a structural element, also providing a panoramic view of the road and surroundings.”
Interior view of the new UK Design Center
The exterior design includes a distinctive division between the upper and lower halves of the vehicle. The upper half captures the Corvette’s classic design elements, but in a futuristic manner. The lower half focuses on functional technical design, including EV battery technology embedded into the structure and aerodynamics elements designed to channel air efficiently without the need for wings or spoilers.Play VideoPlayMuteCurrent Time 0:00/Duration 1:22Loaded: 11.94%

Chevrolet unveiled the Silverado EV ZR2 off-road race truck concept at the legendary Mint 400 off-road race, where the truck will also compete in the notorious event as part of the Hall Racing team’s lineup. The Silverado EV ZR2 race truck concept joins the team’s Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 race trucks, and Chad Hall will drive the all-electric off-road race truck in the Open Production EV class.
“There is no better proving ground to test the limits of our vehicles than competitive racing,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “The Silverado EV ZR2 race truck concept, which uses 98% GM production parts, showcases some of the best of Chevrolet to produce a beyond-capable pickup to tackle a challenging race of the Mint 400’s magnitude.”
Though a concept, the Silverado EV ZR2 race truck follows the same winning ZR2 formula as the Colorado ZR2 and Silverado ZR2:
- Lifted, front and rear suspension with specific off-road tuning that continues to deliver on the pavement
- Multimatic damper technology
- Locking differentials
- Underbody skid protection
The high-performance, off-road Silverado EV ZR2 race truck concept came to life quickly, after only five months of development, and features roughly 98% GM production parts. The cornerstone of the race truck’s off-road chops is prototype Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve continuously adaptive dampers. These dampers provide off-road performance for the more than 13 inches of front and rear wheel travel.
Combined with the Silverado EV ZR2 race truck’s 37-inch BF Goodrich KM3 Mud-Terrain tires, and a tri-motor electric propulsion system that creates 1,100 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque, the race truck concept more than earns the ZR2 badge.
No stranger to the desert and off-road racing, Chevrolet engineers will embed themselves with the Chad Hall Racing team to analyze the race truck’s performance, durability and capability. Each learning will be applied to production vehicles, performance parts and accessories from Chevrolet. Today, more than 44 off-road performance parts and accessories are available for customers to buy for production trucks.
“Working with the Chevy engineers is always a good day at the office,” said Chad Hall, primary driver and owner of Hall Racing race team lead. “What we learn from racing is applied to vehicles consumers can buy. An off-road race like The Mint 400 is equivalent to a lifetime of vehicle wear and tear.”
Hall Racing first started competing in a stock production class in a Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 in 2017. Since then, the team has finished 53 of 54 races entered.
The Silverado ZR2 race truck concept’s reveal comes as Chevy prepares to launch this summer the 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss, its first off-road oriented EV variant. Trail Boss is a more off-road capable Silverado EV with a factory-installed lift, 18-inch wheels, 35-inch all-terrain tires and red tow hooks. New Terrain Mode gives the truck increased maneuverability in tight spaces.
More information on Silverado EV Trail Boss will be available soon.

Corvette ZR1 sets five U.S. lap records
The Corvette ZR1 and the team behind it continue to put the performance car world on notice. With four different General Motors drivers behind the wheel, the Corvette ZR1 has set not one, but five new production car lap records during a U.S. track tour.
Below are the five tracks and the Corvette ZR1’s lap times, each with a GM driver at the wheel:
- Watkins Glen Long Course: 1:52.7. Driver: Bill Wise, Lead Performance Engineer, Chassis Controls.
- Road America: 2:08.6. Driver: Brian Wallace, Lead Vehicle Dynamics Engineer.
- Road Atlanta: 1:22.8. Driver: Chris Barber, Lead Development Engineer.
- Virginia International Raceway Full Course: 1:47.7. Driver: Aaron Link, Global Vehicle Performance Manager.
- Virginia International Raceway Grand Course: 2:32.3. Driver: Aaron Link.
The drivers set out on this track tour with a pre-production Corvette ZR1 equipped with the optional ZTK Performance Package. The ZTK Package notably adds an aggressive, high-downforce rear wing, front dive planes, and a tall hood Gurney lip – all constructed from woven carbon fiber. Underneath, underbody strakes replace the standard front underwing stall Gurney to substantially increase front downforce. The suspension tuning included in the ZTK package incorporates stiffer springs and adds Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R ZP tires.
With four different individuals behind the wheel of the Corvette ZR1, each with a different driving style, these lap times showcase the engineering prowess of the car. Future customers don’t need to be professional drivers to extract the ultimate performance of the 1,064-horsepower Corvette ZR1.
The drivers, with a combined 65 years of GM Level 6 driving experience, each brought racing and high-performance driving experience when joining General Motors. Individually, each driver quickly reached the top of GM’s driver certification program, and all achieved Nürburgring Industry Pool certification. This group was entrusted with pushing the Corvette ZR1 to its absolute limits on the highest speed, highest commitment tracks in the U.S.
“Corvette ZR1 continues to showcase how this nameplate elevates at every corner,” Corvette executive chief engineer Tony Roma said. “From design, engineering, development, validation, to driving and setting incredible lap records like these – we do it all in house.”
Corvette ZR1 with the ZTK Package boasts a top speed of 233 mph on the racetrack, 0-60 mph time of 2.3 seconds, and quarter-mile time of 9.6 seconds. With these figures, no current production car under $1 million rivals Corvette ZR1.
MSRPs for the Corvette ZR1 start at $174,995 (including $1,695 DFC) for the 1LZ coupe and $184,995 (including DFC) for the 1LZ hardtop convertible. Production is scheduled to begin at General Motors’ Bowling Green Assembly plant in Kentucky in the second quarter of 2025, and Chevrolet will begin accepting orders for the 2025 Corvette ZR1 later this month.
