Right-Hand-Drive 2026 Corvette Stingray, E-Ray and Z06 Go on Sale in the UK

Right-hand-drive versions of the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette have arrived in Britain, with the Stingray, E-Ray and Z06 all now available through the marque’s growing UK sales network. Every car carries a reworked interior for 2026 and a pair of fresh paint colours.

The update centres on the cabin rather than the mechanicals. Corvette has rebuilt the dashboard around a three-screen layout and added more physical switches, answering a common complaint about the previous car’s touch-heavy controls. The powertrains stay put, which keeps the focus squarely on how the 2026 models feel to sit in and use every day.

Three Cars, Three Characters

The line-up covers three distinct flavours of mid-engined sports car. The Stingray is the everyday V8, quick enough for a track day yet civil enough for a commute. The E-Ray teams that V8 with a hybrid front axle, adding all-wheel drive and all-season traction that make it the car to run through a British winter. The Z06 is the hardcore option, built around a high-revving flat-plane-crank engine and aimed squarely at circuit work.

Offering all three together is the real story for British drivers. Right-hand-drive Corvettes have been scarce for decades, often reaching the UK only through specialist converters at considerable cost. A proper factory network selling the Stingray, E-Ray and Z06 side by side gives enthusiasts a genuine V8 alternative to the usual German and Italian coupes, and it does so with the steering wheel on the correct side for our roads.

A New Three-Screen Cockpit

The 2026 cabin runs three displays. A 12.7-inch central touchscreen handles the main functions, a 14-inch driver display sits behind the wheel, and a new 6.6-inch auxiliary screen gives the driver a configurable readout for trip data, g-force figures or Launch Control status. Corvette says the layout sharpens the graphics and adds functions over the outgoing car, with cleaner animations for the Tour, Sport and Track drive modes.

Two new exterior colours join the range, Roswell Green Metallic and Blade Silver Metallic, alongside a wider set of interior finishes and materials so owners can match the cabin to road or track use. A wireless charging pad, redesigned cupholders with hand-wrapped inserts, ambient lighting and the Corvette crossed-flags motif fill out the centre console. Front passengers gain a grab handle and a USB-C port of their own, a small change that makes the mid-engined cockpit feel less driver-only than before.

More Buttons and a New PTM Pro Mode

Corvette has brought back physical controls where the old car buried them in menus. The Drive Mode Selector is now a switch positioned in line with the gear selector, and dedicated buttons control the Performance Traction Management system. A new PTM Pro mode shuts off stability and traction control while keeping the anti-lock brakes and, on the E-Ray, certain front-axle controls, handing confident drivers more freedom on track without losing the safety net of ABS.

The E-Ray’s Charge+ button, which tops up the battery faster or holds charge for track sessions, has moved to the steering wheel where it is easier to reach at speed. Heating and ventilation controls now sit below the central screen, and voice control covers route guidance, calls, cabin temperature and audio. E-Ray drivers can also follow live power and torque flow through a dedicated performance app, a useful tool for anyone learning how the hybrid system feeds drive to the front wheels.

The Hardware Stays Familiar

Chevrolet has left the mechanical package alone for 2026, so the mid-engined layout that reset expectations for the Corvette carries over intact. The Stingray keeps its naturally aspirated V8 mounted behind the seats, the E-Ray blends that engine with an electric front axle for four-driven-wheel launches, and the Z06 stays the most focused of the trio with its motorsport-derived engine and wider track. Buyers choosing between them are really picking a character rather than a trim walk.

That split counts for a lot in the UK, where road conditions and weather reward the E-Ray’s extra traction, while dedicated track drivers will gravitate to the Z06. The Stingray remains the value entry point and the easiest to live with day to day. All three now share the same modernised cabin, so the choice comes down to how and where each car will be driven rather than which one gets the better technology.

What It Means for UK Buyers

Chevrolet has not confirmed 2026 UK pricing at launch, so buyers will need to check with the UK sales network for on-the-road figures and delivery timings. What is clear is that the interior overhaul tackles the biggest weak spot of the previous car, and the return of hard switches for the driving modes and traction settings should suit the way people actually use a Corvette on a British B-road or a circuit. For anyone who has watched the mid-engined Corvette from afar and wished for a factory right-hooker, the 2026 cars finally answer the call.
