Command your drive with the largest infotainment screen in its class. The 17.7-inch diagonal advanced color LCD display serves as the primary command center for the next generation of Chevrolet vehicles. This high-resolution glass screen merges seamlessly with the standard 11-inch Driver Information Center (DIC) to create a panoramic digital cockpit that puts navigation, media, and safety alerts directly within your line of sight.
A standout feature of the 2026 redesign is the knurled aluminum volume knob. Integrated directly through the display glass, this tactile, luxury touchpoint provides immediate physical control over your audio. It is the perfect "safety-first" solution for drivers who prefer intuitive, tactile feedback over searching through digital menus while on the move in Garden City.
For the 2026 model year, it is vital to understand a major distinction in how this display interacts with your smartphone. Chevrolet has optimized its software based on the vehicle's powertrain to provide a stable, high-speed interface.
