2021 Silverado 1500 Pictured
When there are the usual questions about models that are scheduled for future release here at West Chevy of Knoxville, the many forms of internet media are great places to turn for answers. The quintessential spy shot still serves as an excellent benchmark for readers to see what's on the horizon, as an “undercover” photographer provides entities such as GM Authority with images that may or may not reveal some of the features that we are all curious about. This past week the subject in question was the 2022 Silverado, and the revised front fascia and headlights were a few of the qualities looked at first.
Until this particular sighting, most of the prototypes spotted in the wild have featured run placeholder headlights. These shots portray a model with lights situated just behind the camouflage giving a glimpse of what the new front fascia will appear like. The Silverado models released over the last three years featured a forward lighting configuration that saw the headlight at the top, a C-shaped LED signature in the middle, and the narrowly-placed turn signal at the bottom. This 2022 prototype had a reworked LED lighting signature that also serves as the turn signal indicator, which was present in both amber and white hues.
The front fascia of the 2022 Silverado may consist of a two-tier headlamp layout, a bit more similar to what is seen on the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV and 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV. Or, the updated fascia of the 2022 Silverado is set to have the form that is in place on the 2021 Tahoe and 2021 Suburban, with the turn signal having a slightly different shape. Other anticipated changes are an overhauled cockpit with a bigger center display, the deletion of the column shifter, and more upper-end materials found in the cabin.
GM's Global B (Vehicle Intelligence Platform / VIP) electrical system will be in place to incorporate the Super Cruise driving system as an option, and most of our sources think that it will be present on the High Country trim. This exciting feature allows the driver to actually remove their hands from the wheel during longer increments of a highway drive, and two years ago it was announced that an enhanced version will now have the ability to execute hands-free lane changes.
The 2022 Silverado light duty could likely offer a package with a four-leaf rear suspension, which would provide heavier-duty application and longevity. For now, 2022 Silverado prototypes have been spotted with both types of suspension setups, and so it could be that the four-leaf variant will be on higher trims only. While luxury trims were scoffed at when they first were conceptualized in the 80s, they now have a massive relevance and market share, and so many of our loyal customers are excited to see what next year's model will offer in terms of capability and more-than-ample excitement!
