The 2026 Chevy Corvette Lost Wall of Buttons But Gained a Screen
Chevy released the mid-engine eighth-generation Corvette in 2020 and, as is tradition, it has rolled out hotter performance variants in the years since. If you can believe it, 2026 is just a few months away, and while the current generation Corvette isn’t going anywhere, it’s getting an interior refresh for the model year to keep it current.
Chevy released the mid-engine eighth-generation Corvette in 2020 and, as is tradition, it has rolled out hotter performance variants in the years since. If you can believe it, 2026 is just a few months away, and while the current generation Corvette isn’t going anywhere, it’s getting an interior refresh for the model year to keep it current.
The Corvette’s “great wall” of buttons, which extended from the lower center console to the dash of 2020-2025 cars, is gone. In its place is a more traditional console design with gear shift controls, two cupholders, and a small storage cubby. The climate controls are now located below the touchscreen on the dash, and Chevy has integrated many other controls into the display.
While it lost a chunk of its interior, the Corvette gained another screen. Chevy now equips a 12.7-inch touchscreen, a 14-inch digital gauge cluster, and a 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen to the left of the gauges. It’s a setup very similar to the one in the newest Cadillac Escalade, though shrunken to fit the ‘Vette’s cabin. The system also offers Google Built-In for 2026, which brings Google Chrome, some Play Store features, Google Maps, and other goodies.
In addition to the extra screen, all Corvette variants now receive the E-Ray Performance App, which offers displays for various vehicle functions on the track, including acceleration timers, G-forces, tire pressure and temperature, and more.
