The 2026 Corvette debuts a variety of updates for the mid-engine sports car’s cabin, including new controls and new customization options. In addition, each C8 Corvette variant will offer a new infotainment setup headlined by a triplet of digital screens. Now, we’re taking a closer look at the new three-screen layout in the 2026 Corvette.
The new three-screen layout in the 2026 Corvette once again surrounds the driver in a sweeping, horizontal configuration. The new setup includes a 12.7-inch center display, a 14-inch digital driver information center, and an auxiliary 6.6-inch touchscreen to the left of the steering wheel, creating an immersive, cockpit-like experience. The arrangement emphasizes a driver-centric approach, with the screens angled toward the driver, evoking the feeling of being in the seat of a fighter jet.
The auxiliary 6.6-inch screen is driver-configurable, providing quick access to vital information such as trip mileage, Performance Traction Management settings, or other performance metrics.

By comparison, the outgoing Corvette features a simpler two-screen setup, pairing a 12-inch digital driver information display and an eight-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium system. While these smaller screens are also angled towards the driver, the addition of the third display for the 2026 model year significantly enhances the cockpit-like feel.
The new infotainment system for the 2026 Corvette also boasts updated graphics and animations for Tour, Sport, and Track modes, providing cleaner, more intuitive visuals for critical driving data, including the speedometer, tachometer, and other digital gauges. Drivers can also choose from various display layouts, tailoring the setup to their individual preferences.
In addition, the 2026 Corvette lineup now adds a new Performance App included as standard across all variants, providing real-time data with an acceleration timer, G-force meter, and more. Infotainment is enhanced even further with the latest version of Google built-in, as well as support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
As for the customization options, the 2026 Corvette introduces a new asymmetrical colorway in Jet Black and Adrenaline Red, alongside a few new symmetrical color options as well. Exterior styling options have also been expanded with two new paint colors.
All C8 Corvette models are built on the GM Y2 platform. Production is set to begin on August 4th, 2025, at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky, as GM Authority was the first to report.

The new dash layout is beautiful and functional with havac controls in front of the driver instead of on the wall.This was supposed to be on the 2025 !As usual a day late and dollars short!😢🤷♂️
I waited two years to get my 2025 E-Ray—finally picked it up, grinning like a kid on Christmas morning—and bam! They announce a brand-new interior the next day. Seriously? Couldn’t they have waited a week? I’d love a “trade-your-dash-in” option, but no luck. Guess I’ll just have to tough it out… for another two years while I twiddle my thumbs on the Zora waitlist. At this rate, I’ll be eligible for the senior discount before I get the next one.
Oooo, I love those blue seats! Bad ass! Deciding between red, blue, and tan; now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! I wonder if they let you get the blue leather(-with red stitching of course) in a torch red car… -That would be insane!
Appreciate side-by-side comparisons.
