In this guide, you’ll learn everything there is to know about what’s new for Chevrolet in the coming year and why you should check out the selection at Turan Foley Chevrolet.
Big Changes Across the 2026 Chevy Lineup
In 2026, the Corvette, Chevrolet’s last car model after discontinuing the Malibu, will see some of its first major updates in six years. This includes the addition of a new model, the Corvette ZR1X, which offers exceptional horsepower and a dazzling 0 to 60 mph time of under two seconds. The car’s increase in power is made possible thanks in part to its innovative hybrid powertrain that attaches an electric motor to the front axle.
While the Corvette gets the most updates for 2026, several other models offer refreshes and redesigns that make them more desirable than ever. New paint color options are available for the:
- Trax
- Trailblazer
- Equinox
- Traverse
- Equinox EV
- Blazer EV
- Tahoe
- Suburban
Chevy is discontinuing a couple of paint colors to make way for its new color options, including Crimson Metallic and Nitro Metallic. But you can now get your Chevy in Apex Red. The latter hue offers an exciting shot of color that will get noticed when you’re making your way from Gulfport to Biloxi or White Sands. Choose a more subtle shade if you want to blend in when you’re heading for Wiggins.
Next-Generation Technology Features
As an innovator in the automotive world, you can expect lots of next-gen tech updates from your new Chevy. The Corvette, for instance, will get a larger 14-inch driver display along with a new 6.6-inch touch screen to the left of the steering wheel. As well, it will feature a 12.7-inch infotainment screen. You’ll also be able to get an app for the new C8 ‘Vette that lets you monitor performance from your smartphone.
Other models offer upgrades like a drive mode selector standard across trims, enhanced Super Cruise hands-free driving, and wireless technology to make getting around Gulfport simple. You can also expect more standard driver-assist and safety features that will give you confidence while you drive along the Gulf of America. Many Chevy models will now have lane-keep assist with lane departure warning standard, while higher trims of certain vehicles have adaptive cruise control and rear cross-traffic braking standard. An available surround view camera makes maneuvering a larger Chevy truck or SUV through the Milner Stadium parking lot hassle-free.
Chevrolet EV Advancements in 2026
On the forefront when it comes to EV advancements, Chevy has a wide range of EV models to choose from that offer more than an efficient drive. The ever-expanding EV lineup includes popular models like the Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado. You can also choose the BrightDrop cargo van for your Gulfport area business if you want a fuel-efficient model with modern features. The Corvette E-Ray is an impressive hybrid that’s not only powerful but also fun to drive on Beach Boulevard or all the way to New Orleans.
Upgrades to Chevy’s current EV lineup give you a longer driving range for commutes to Jackson or Mobile, Alabama. Faster charging means less time waiting for your Chevy EV to replenish its battery, so you can get back on the road. Chevy EVs are a perfect fit for Gulfport drivers, whether you’re commuting to work in town or heading out on a road trip with the family. These vehicles let you skip the gas station, freeing up your time to do more of what you love.
Performance & Capability Updates
Tech and EV advancements aren’t the only thing new for Chevy vehicles in 2026. Several models are getting performance and capability updates that will allow you to tow and haul more than ever before. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado introduces the Gen 6 V-6 engine with increased horsepower and improved fuel economy, while the Suburban also gets a new V8 powertrain. Models such as the Equinox and Traverse have a refreshed engine for better fuel economy, giving you more time to pick up the kids from school or relax with friends at Island View Casino.
There’s also a new trim for the Silverado EV, the Trail Boss. This model offers a Terrain driving mode to improve traction at low speeds and Sidewinder mode that lets the vehicle turn all four wheels in the same direction to move diagonally at low speeds. The Silverado EV Trail Boss is equipped to handle on- and off-road driving, so you can take it to the beach, one of our beautiful nearby wildlife management areas, or anywhere that’s calling to you.
