- A new batch of spy photos shows the 2026 Chevy Corvette’s heavily revised interior.
- The controversial wall of buttons is gone, and many climate functions have moved to a row of switches beneath the infotainment screen.
- The Corvette’s digital gauge cluster gets revamped too, and there’s an extra screen on the left side of the binnacle.
After years of heated debate by enthusiasts over the C8-generation Corvette’s cabin layout, Chevy has finally given its sports car a fresh interior. A new batch of spy photos confirms our previous assumptions that the controversial wall of buttons is on the way out and that the digital gauge cluster has grown. ChevroletNow that the button wall is gone, much, but not all, of the barrier between the driver and the passenger has disappeared. The center console looks to have been lowered by several inches, with the folding cover for the cupholders replaced by two always-open replacements. There’s now a grab handle in place of the old wall, and the buttons themselves have moved to a new row of switches beneath the infotainment screen. As before, the interior looks awfully driver-centric, but Chevy seems to have finally accepted that passengers might want access to the climate controls or the infotainment screen.ChevroletSpeaking of screens, while the center touchscreen looks like it’s now angled less aggressively towards the driver, the bigger change comes to the digital gauge cluster. As with other recent GM products, the Corvette increases its screen real estate with a small display on the left side of the cluster. In our spy photos, the display is working as a temperature gauge for things such as the engine oil and coolant. Production of the 2026 Corvette lineup is expected to start in August, according to a report from GM Authority. We expect more details about any changes to come out before then as well as more info about the upcoming Corvette Zora, which is planned to debut for the 2026 model year.
