With the impending arrival of the 2025 Corvette, America’s sports car is expected to debut a number of updates for the new model year, including a fresh interior colorway. With that in mind, General Motors recently gave a peek at the all-new Habanero interior.
Presented to the public during the 27th Annual Michelin NCM Bash in April 2024, the spicy Habanero interior colorway adds an orange-themed look the Corvette‘s cabin, featuring a two-tone mix with Jet Black on the seats, lower dashboard, door panels and center console. This is the only photo of the new colorway currently available, but it’ll be interesting to see how Habanero pairs with select exterior paint colors, such as Sebring Orange Tintcoat.
It’s worth noting that the Sebring Orange Tintcoat hue is “new” for the 2025 model year, and will be joined by the Hysteria Purple Metallic and Competition Yellow Tintcoat.

In other 2025 Corvette-related paint developments, GM Authority recently reported that the Bow Tie brand’s performance machine will lose a total of seven paint colors, including (relevant color code in parenthesis):
- Accelerate Yellow Metallic (GD0) – introduced for the 2020 model year
- Amplify Orange Tintcoat (GC5) – introduced for the 2022 model year
- Cacti Green (GVR) – introduced for the 2024 model year
- Carbon Flash Metallic (GAR) – introduced for the 2023 model year in conjunction with Corvette 70th Anniversary Special Edition models
- Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic (G9F) – introduced for the 2018 model year in conjunction with the Corvette Carbon 65
- Hypersonic Gray Metallic (GA7) – introduced for the 2022 model year
- Silver Flare Metallic (GSJ) – introduced for the 2021 model year
Notably, the decision to drop all these paint shades is likely to simplify the Vette’s color palette.
As a reminder, the 2025 Corvette will be offered in one of four flavors, including the C8 Corvette Stingray and its naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine, rated at 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque in standard form, the C8 Corvette Z06 and its naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, rated at 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, as well as the C8 Corvette E-Ray and its combination of the aforementioned LT2 engine and a front-mounted electric motor producing a total of 655 horsepower.
In regard to the fourth configuration, the soon-to-debut C8 Corvette ZR1 will feature the twin-turbocharged 5.5L V8 LT7 engine.
Under the skin, all Corvette C8 models ride on the GM Y2 platform, while production takes place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

GM’s obsession with nasty burnt orange/rust colors is as bad as old man maroon.
Where are they doing their market research? Golden Corral?
It’s a lot better than all of the 50 shades of gray or ugly @ss black
Chevrolet has to provide Dana Mecum and the B&J folks with vehicles. New money’s taste is in its mouth. The basic colors for Corvettes sell well by word of mouth and within clubs.
A lot the market base for the C8 is “Old Men”. Golden Corral is a great place to eat. What color is your C8?
I like the new wheels.
I think you’re talking about black. So old, so boring.
That looks smoking hot. Would like to see this on amplify orange and especially on red mist which has a ton of orange pigments in it.
I wish that interior was available when I ordered my Sebring Orange C8.
Not a big fan of these colors on the 2025 Corvette. Grey is boring, orange is fair and yellow is fair.
Sorry still don’t like it. The Engineering may be awesome. I don’t like the styling inside or out.
Buy a Toyota maybe American isn’t for you.
Great, bring a yuk burnt orange color inside… come on Corvette
As John Heinricy said: “Why are we even having this discussion? All Corvettes are red. The rest are mistakes.”
The FIRST Corvette was white! Nuff sed.
GM seems reluctant to really liven up the paint colors. The new yellow and current red is fine but …… the body style screams Lambo , so why not go for it? Purple, Green, etc.
The size and interior of this vehicle looks claustrophobic to me.
Paint, paint, paint and wheels, wheels and wheels. The GM playbook.
Soon it’ll be six straight years and no cockpit or exterior changes.
Still waiting for the “Mauve” edition.
Dodge calls it PLUM CRAZY.
A Corvette should have colors that scream look at me I’m a Corvette. I have had an Admiral Blue, Daytona Sunset Orange, and currently Velocity Yellow. And loved them all, and looking forward to getting a Purple one. Bland colors are for bland cars.
Hello Did ya all not note the new color Hysteria Purple Metallic. I must see more of that and in person……
Good job GM on deleting four gray colors.
