Will we see interior updates for 2026MY?

No, there will be no new interior for 2026

 

[CamsC8]

Wonder when we'll see the Grand Sport...if there will be one...hehe

 

[mbhZ06]

Are we going to see a Corvette SUV or is it just rumors?

I always thought the Eray was the Grandsport

2027 maybe

I am sure it is planned but the automotive landscape keeps changing, so I hope they don’t slap a corvette name plate on an EV or some turbo 6 cyl

 

[mbhZ06]

Agreed

Slapping a Corvette nameplate on anything other than a sports car to me is absurd. Doing stupid things like that is what got GM into bankruptcy!

Worked out for Porsche, Jaguar and BMW. Their top selling vehicles.

All three are stand alone vehicle manufacturers. Owned by others yes, but stand alone nonetheless. GM already has 4 different SUV divisions.

 

[CamsC8]

Corvette SUV would be great

The mid cycle refresh for the C8 was supposed to come in 2025 and pushed to 2026. Reports say the refresh is coming for 2026 which Chevy is pushing for to get some sales of Stingrays going again. They will only build around 500 ZR1's before the build out at the end of May.
Starting to hear tidbits about the new engine again (being the sixth generation small block V8) which I have been previously saying was targeted for the Grand Sport and known as the LT3. The question is will it be ready for 2027? The colours for the 2027 model are also being decided this month.
Chevrolet is counting on the interior refresh for 2026, the Grand Sport with a 550 hp engine for 2027 and the 75th anniversary for 2028 will revive Stingray sales thus eliminating the plant closures. When there is more than a 90 day supply of cars sitting on dealer lots, changes need to be made other than incentives to move old inventory. This is what you will come to see over the next 3 years taking us out with C8 and on to C9.

I don’t think GM will build 500 2025 ZR1

Harlan Charles let the cat out of the bag that there WILL be a new interior coming for the C8. He didn't say when, however.

That’s because it got pushed back a year.

Apparently that electric Mustang is popular.

 

[Murray20c8]

Apparently that electric Mustang is popular.

And there will likely be an electric Camaro.

 

[AndrewJ]

And there will likely be an electric Camaro.

I would actually consider an electric Camara..except that it will likely be north of 80k
