RUMOR: Interior Changes coming to the C8 Corvette in 2024?

Only a few nit-picky complaints about the new mid-engine Corvette have surfaced as Chevy’s supercar begins its fourth year of production with the 2023s.

Foremost among those is the awkward location of the charging slot on the waterfall between the seats. Then there is the controversial Great Wall of Buttons on the console.

Personally, we don’t see either of these design features as being problematic, but GM Authority is nevertheless citing sources that claim relief is on the way for these naysayers, with a redesigned interior possibly debuting with the ’24 Stingray.

Already, Chevrolet has pushed out an over-the-air software update for the inductive phone recharging port that sends out a notification because some owners were getting out of their cars and leaving their phones behind.

The new interior, according to GM Authority’s sources, will have more substantial physical changes, including some sort of grab bar for easier egress/ingress similar to that found in the C7.

GM Authority has also been told that the Great Wall will be “relocated and/or reconfigured in some way.”

Other forthcoming interior changes, according to GMA, could be a new display screen and/or digital dash display, new interior upholstery colors and other new options and features.

Of course, we’ve heard for years that the interior would be changed so we will believe it when we see it. There is precedent for such mid-cycle changes, though, as the C4 changed its instrument panel dramatically in 1990.

  1. I’ve owned/driven my C8 for about 1 1/2 years and see no problem. Now I am so use to where everything is, it’s all good for me 👍👍

  2. guys dont like the huge hump cause girlfriends cant touch your knee.

    just came from ZO6 reveal in ALBANY NY. wikkid car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. I “forget” my phone on purpose. Is this new gimmick going to nag folks who try to ignore it like the other nannies?

  4. Not to be critical, but C8 cockpit feels smewhat clostrophobic to me, for driver and passenger. I feel very at ease in my C7 and the cockpit looks more refined, as well. The C8 row of switches in the center console appears like an after thought. It wouldnt take a great deal of creativity, to redesign that area.

  5. 2021 HTC owner. The handle might be a good idea but I love the center row. I will say I’m not used to them yet-I do have to look to operate them and that’s not ideal. If my wife is with me she can help. I am happy I have it, it’s unique and iconic. If it gets redesigned it’ll make our cars a bit more special.

  6. I don’t own one but I like the looks of the Wall of Buttons. I have a deposit and think I like the Tan dipped interior. However, I believe that section forward of the dash panel would glare on the windshield. I think that piece should be available as black as an option…maybe the same for the dipped red. If they like to have carbon fiber options that they can charge for…how about the side scoop trim and rear lower valance. Then you can have all carbon fiber rather than a mix at best. How about on at least the Z06…you know guys are going to go all out on that one.

  7. The phone charger I would like to see relocated, maybe a hidden compartment like the C7 or ATSV, and make it large enough for big phones like the Notes or Iphone Max. I have a bad back and hurts to twist and getting to the current location is difficult for me. However, Its a minor issue as I have a wired charger and phone mount in the vent for Nav.
    The great wall is not a issue, very intuitive. Just want a hand grab for my passengers as I drive it like I stole it!!
    Also, More exotic color options with both metal flake and non (flat) options for those who want either. Make sure the Z06 has Purple, Blurple, and greens all in metal flake with depth please. The Perl White is amazing and I wish I had it on my 16 ATSV instead of the Crystal White Metallic Satin.

  8. The cars exterior looks like it was built by enzo ferrari and the interior was built by Bill Gates. Take a note from 2005 Ford GT interior, billet metal switches analog gauges.
