Chevrolet today revealed the new Silverado, a significantly updated version of the brand’s best-selling truck. The new Silverado delivers customers more choices, more technology and more off-road capability, ahead of its market debut in the Middle East next summer.
The new Silverado also includes the introduction of the first-ever Silverado ZR2, Chevy’s new flagship off-road truck and the latest addition to a successful lineup of off-road capable pick-up trucks, including the legendary Z71 and factory-lifted Trailboss.
The New Silverado features an enhanced exterior design that asserts the presence and dynamism this generation introduced in 2019 plus a new, expressive interior with enhanced technology integration.
Changes include a class-leading, 13.4-inch-diagonal touchscreen standard on LT, RST, LT Trail Boss and ZR2 as well as a 12.3-inch configurable driver information screen replacing the traditional gauge cluster.
“The Silverado is an icon of motoring culture in the Middle East, with a passionate fan base who are always looking for a vehicle that can keep up with their off-road adventures,” said Sharon Nishi, Chief Marketing Officer, GM Africa & Middle East. “The new 2022 Silverado model will not only meet the demands of our customers, but surpass them, giving customers more choice, a more refined design and new technology options. And with the introduction of the first-ever, off-road focused ZR2 trim, we’ll also be giving customers more off-road adrenaline than ever before.”
Additional highlights to the new 2022 Chevrolet Silverado include:
First-ever Silverado ZR2
The first-ever Silverado ZR2 drives into the flagship position of Chevy Trucks’ factory-lifted off-road lineup, offering race-proven off-road performance customers can buy right from the showroom floor. The ZR2 brings together a premium interior, immersive technology, a number of standard safety equipment features and off-road prowess in a comprehensive package.
ZR2’s suspension upgrades, enhanced off-road technology and exterior enhancements were developed to optimize off-road performance and capability — whether desert running or rock crawling — while balancing everyday driving comfort as well as a payload and towing capacity of up to 553 kg and 4000kg respectively.
ZR2 highlights include:
The bumper is designed with removable end caps for easier replacement in the event of close encounters with rocks or other off-road objects. The dual exhaust has been placed before the rear bumper to eliminate potential damage.
“Chevrolet has been competing on some of the most grueling, toughest off-road courses with a prototype Silverado ZR2 in the Best in the Desert race series,” said Dom Lester, General Motors chief engineer, Performance Variants, Parts and Motorsports Engineering. “We applied what we learned in racing and Moab testing to the new ZR2 to offer a supremely capable and confidence-inspiring package, but one that doesn’t beat you up on the highway with its ride quality. It’s equally capable and comfortable.”
In addition to its functional features, the new Silverado ZR2 is distinguished by several aesthetic cues, including a new black hood insert, a unique grille with integrated lighting and a “flow-tie” emblem, wheel flares, ZR2 badges, unique 18-inch wheels and a unique Jet Black/Graystone leather-trimmed interior, with complementing dark trim.
The new Chevrolet Silverado arrives at dealerships in the Middle East in the summer of 2022.
