2022 Suburban and Tahoe Slated for Arrival With Power Upgrade, New Color Choices, Massively Improved Stability

The Suburban and Tahoe are always popular at West Chevy, and a batch of new improvements for the 2022 model year make them both even more exciting! An entirely new platform, improved driving dynamics, bold styling, and an interior with more tech features all make these two incoming XXL SUVs greater than ever. They both will also be available with a brand-new electric limited-slip differential, as an in-depth feature on the CarBuzz.com blog laid out last week.

A brand-new electric limited-slip differential greatly improves the SUV’s traction and stability by optimizing the amount of torque that is divided between the rear wheels. Opting for the Off-Road Capability Package also provides the addition of Magnetic Ride Control and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. It comes included with the Z71 Off-Road package, and is bound to make a huge difference when driving on various types of terrains.

The new Suburban and Tahoe models also provide the choice of your favorite color. The 2022 pair will see Auburn Metallic, Dark Ash Metallic, and Evergreen Gray Metallic added to the list, replacing Shadow Gray Metallic and Graywood Metallic. 

The naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that was previously the High Country trim’s defining powertrain will now be available on the RST, Z71, and Premier trims. Paired nicely with a ten-speed automatic, this offering cranks out 420 horsepower and 460 lb/ft of torque. 

You can also opt for the 5.3-liter V8 that is good for 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, or the 3.0-liter inline-six turbo doling out 277 horsepower and 460 lb/ft. These two powerful SUVs aren’t just all about braun. They will come equipped with a new 12-inch digital driver information center to monitor all the vitals and performance in action.

The Suburban is so iconic, it has its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Its massive grille, thin headlights, and characteristically tall hood line are a few of its elements that stand out right away. It is the perfect pairing for the Tahoe, and both models will be able to seat more cargo than before. Some of the available safety features found on both models are forward collision warning, rear parking sensors, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, and the ultimate supervisor in Teen Driver!

Numerous 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trims Now Powered By Standard 2.7-Liter Engine

From trips to the pumpkin to a day of heavy hauling, there’s no limit to the fall activities you can do with a brand-new Silverado from West Chevy of Knoxville. The refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 arrives with a variety of new changes and updates, and the inclusion of the turbocharged 2.7-Liter inline-4 L3B gas engine is now offered as standard on many of the trim levels. 

The Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, and LT trims all are now offering this engine as standard, while the RST Crew Cab Models offer the 5.3-Liter V8 L84. This unique engine is rated at 310 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, which is a significant boost over the previously used L3B model. It also incorporates double-overhead cams and Active Fuel Management, and flaunts a towing capacity of 9,500 pounds.

The 2022 Silverado has been generating plenty of attention, as it is a newly-revamped truck that displays an adventurous spirit, durable industrial strength, and capable engines such as the 5.3-Liter V8 L84 gasoline model. The exterior saw upgrades throughout the entire trim line, and the addition of the ZR2 model preps this famous truck for a bold run on the trail.

Every new Silverado will get a brand-new front fascia along with lowered headlights and Sand Dune, Dark Ash, and Glacier Blue Metallic paint hues are more available colors to make things visually pop in the color department. Die-hard Silverado fans will appreciate the carrying on of basic core elements such as the roll-formed high-strength steel bed floor construction, 12 standard tie-downs, and the optional Multi-Flex tailgate. Everyone who loves trucks and luxury is going to love the High Country model: it comes standard with open-pore wood trim, leather seating surfaces, and a pristine-sounding Bose audio system.

There are currently 200,000 miles of compatible roads in North America where drivers can use Super Cruise technology that relies on LiDAR to offer hands free driving. When it comes to the ZR2, there is no better vehicle for the trail. Even the placement of the dual exhaust system has changed to ensure minimal damage from harsh terrain while battling the wild!

2022 Corvette Stingray Hits Home Run With Hypersonic Gray Hue

There are a few notable changes for the American favorite Corvette Stingray in its third model year! The new Hypersonic Gray Metallic paint option is sure to turn heads. A few awesome images of the convertible ‘Vette showed off the Z51 Package and 5-open-spoke Carbon Flash-painted aluminum wheels with a machined edge. The rear has attractive touches of carbon flash, and the brake calipers are visible In red. 

This stylish new Hypersonic Gray Metallic exterior hue is offered as one of three new exterior paint options arriving with the 2022 model year. Not quite as loud and attention-seeking as some other colors, this tint draws admiration as it accentuates the front and side’s sightlines. You can also choose from other creative colors such as Amplify Orange Tintcoat and Caffeine Metallic, with all three new colors seeing their debut at the National Corvette Museum’s 2021 bash event. 

The three brand-new colors replace Sebring Orange, Shadow Gray, and Zeus Bronze, and the 2022 Corvette Stingray IMSA GTLM Championship Edition is also on deck to commemorate the Corvette C8.R’s show-stealing performance during the 202 IMSA WeatherTech race series. Just 1,000 of these amazing models will be built, and it combines the Accelerate Yellow or Hypersonic Gray exterior paint with Carbon Flash colored rear spoiler and mirror caps. 

Speaking of the groundbreaking and highly-celebrated C8, it was rated the best Premium Sporty Car during the 2021 J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study, beating out rivals Porsche 718 and Lexus LC. This study surveys owners of 100 new vehicles on the number of problems that they experience during their first 3 months of ownership. With a lifeline that stretches back to the 1950s, the Corvette is a true icon of performance-car culture, and earth-shaking performance and amazingly precise handling make the Corvette a track day dominator when equipped with the state-of-the-art Z51 package.

The Car And Driver staff noted that the 2LT version adds several great features including a head-up display, a wireless smartphone charging pad, heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, a 14-speaker Bose stereo system, and blind-spot monitoring. The 6.2-liter V8 cranks out 490 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, and the addition of the Z51 option adds more aggressive and track-tuned brakes, summer tires, and an electronic limited-slip rear differential. Drive testing recorded a zero-to-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds, and the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds with a top speed of 122 mph.
