When the top is down in a Corvette Convertible, there's nothing separating you from the open air and raw natural light. The world is your interior in the mere 18 seconds it takes for the convertible's roof to drop and stow away with the available power top—all without ever leaving the driver's seat.
The Corvette Convertible interior has been refined for greater driving support and comfort. The new seat design includes larger bolsters on the seatback and cushion areas for increased support, especially in high-performance driving, but greatly welcomed for day-to-day driving. Optional sueded microfiber seat inserts complement the new design even further, as does the revised steering wheel featuring model-specific badges, streamlined switch trim, wrapped spokes, better hand placement and thumb grips.
No detail was overlooked in order to create the most luxurious Corvette Convertible interior to date. Padded center console and armrests on all models soften the interior, while the added visual touch of contrasting color stitching—in red, blue and yellow—is available with the Custom Leather-Wrapped Interior Package with sueded microfiber on the 4LT trim level.

Our philosophy on safety emphasizes prevention with important features such as Active Handling and four-wheel antilock brakes, but in the event of a collision, Corvette Convertible is engineered for safety before, during and—thanks to OnStar®—after an accident to help keep you protected7.
Active Handling, run-flat tires and four-wheel antilock brakes help you stay on the road and in control to help avoid crashes in the first place, while standard high-intensity discharge xenon headlamps shed 900 lumens of light onto the road for excellent visibility. And if there's a loss of tire pressure, Corvette Convertible's run-flat tires help enable safe function for some distance at a moderate speed until the tire can be repaired.
In the event of a collision, Corvette Convertible is designed to help keep you and your passengers protected with frontal and side-impact air bags10 to help protect you.
OnStar® with Directions & Connections® and Automatic Crash Response7 uses built-in sensors that can automatically alert an Advisor who can be immediately connected into your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location—even if you're unable to respond. Standard for the first six months.
