Chevrolet’s Corvette is getting a substantial interior tech upgrade for 2026, according to GM Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) in Australia, but the update comes with a price increase of up to $21,000.
A Fully Redesigned Cockpit
The revised interior replaces the previous cockpit layout with three digital displays: a 14-inch driver display, a 12.7-inch angled infotainment screen, and a smaller 6.6-inch panel dedicated to secondary vehicle information.

Additional Interior Changes
Beyond the new screens, Chevrolet relocated the drive mode selector and traction control switch and upgraded the wireless charging pad. The infotainment system now runs on Google’s platform, giving owners access to Google Maps and Google Assistant for eight years at no additional cost. Performance-focused buyers also get an upgraded data recorder for reviewing track day performance.
Pricing Increases Across the Lineup
Due in part to regulatory requirements in the Australian market, pricing has increased across the range. The base 2LT Coupe now starts at $193,990, while the 3LT Coupe rises by $21,000 to $222,990. The convertible starts at $232,990.
Powertrains Remain Unchanged
Mechanically, the Corvette carries over its existing powertrains. The Stingray’s 6.2-liter V8 continues to produce 369kW, while the E-Ray hybrid retains its combined output of 488kW.
Positioning Against European Rivals
With the added technology and higher price point, Chevrolet appears to be positioning the Corvette more directly against European performance cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo and BMW M8, betting that the combination of horsepower, technology, and price will keep it competitive in that segment.
