The 2026 Corvette lineup — Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, and ZR1 — just rewrote the rules of cockpit design, delivering a radical new interior aimed squarely at the performance-obsessed.

Leading the charge is a full-blown digital overhaul: three driver-focused screens including a massive 14-inch digital cluster, a 12.7-inch center infotainment display, and an all-new 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen positioned to the left of the wheel — ideal for tracking metrics like Performance Traction Management and trip data.

The console has been reconfigured with a race-inspired layout: the drive mode selector now sits next to the gear shifter, and a new wireless charging pad slides beneath the infotainment screen. The HVAC controls move below the display, clearing space for a passenger-side grab handle and USB-C port. Cupholders now come wrapped, lit, and stamped with Corvette’s crossed flags — aluminum-trimmed in higher trims.

On ZR1 — and optionally on E-Ray and Z06 — a new carbon fiber display hood enhances screen visibility and integrates seamlessly with Corvette’s growing suite of carbon accents.

Performance Tech, Dialed to 11

The 2026 cockpit is more than skin-deep. Corvette’s new Performance App is now standard across the lineup, featuring:

  • Acceleration timers with user-set speed ranges
  • G-force logging over time
  • Live tire pressure and temperature monitoring
  • Propulsion vitals (oil, coolant, and trans fluid temps)
  • eAWD stats for E-Ray models

All metrics are viewable across the three screens and customizable by drive mode (Tour, Sport, Track), with modernized layouts and crisper visuals. The Performance Data Recorder (PDR) also gets a major UX upgrade, offering real-time telemetry, HD video, and side-by-side comparison with automated speed tips.

Infotainment That Doesn’t Tap the Brakes

Google Built-In is standard, with available OnStar integration. Voice control now handles navigation, PDR, climate, messaging, and more. Parked? Fire up Chrome, HBO Max, or Prime Video straight from the dash. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fully supported.

Bespoke Luxury, Track-Ready Soul

Interior trim takes a leap forward, with five new colorways — including the bold Jet Black & Adrenaline Red asymmetrical spec, Sky Cool Gray with Habanero accents, and the richly textured Ultimate Suede with contrast stitching. Drivers can even spec mixed-seat designs, pairing a competition-spec Adrenaline Red driver’s seat with a Jet Black GT2 passenger seat.

The 2026 Corvette cockpit isn’t just driver-focused — it’s driver-obsessed.
