Comfort and Convenience is the trait of Corvette. The seats are comfortable with the bolsters and seat cushions. The microfibre seats are a new addition on Coupe. The spoke steering wheel with model-specific badges gives better grip and control.
Padded center console and armrests are standard on Convertible and the Custom Leather-Wrapped Interior Package is available on 4LT trims.
