Mid October's Coming-Soon Briefing: 2022 Chevy Silverado's Interior Updates Revealed Via New Spy Shots


All car and truck manufacturers have a common interest in building a certain level of suspense for models coming in the future, and spy shots with a majority of the dead giveaways covered up are still the primary means of an official sneak peek. It is always thrilling for us here at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis when these detailed spy shots are released. This past week the staff at Autoblog.com managed to catch a quick peek at the long-awaited interior of the 2022 Chevy Silverado.

The prototype was spotted with its cabin surfaces under the typical covering of heavy camouflage, but the shots offered up were still able to capture the screen of the truck beneath the vinyl and also clearly show that the cabin will now see a significant upgrade. The addition of the useful and semi-self-driving Super Cruise technology will be one of the new features of the 2022 Silverado, as the sure-fire clue in question was the sighting of the illuminated green strip at the top cent of the steering wheel.

There also appears to be a full digital cluster and significantly larger infotainment screen, and our beloved bowtie brand has listened to numerous customers as they claimed that they wanted a bit more of an extravagant touch inside the truck's cabin. The spotted prototype brandished High Country wheels and chrome window trim. It also appears that there will be some new exterior styling updates in the vein of new lighting elements as well as front and rear bumpers. Other new items we anticipate take their "cues and clues" from the 2021 Suburban, such as 10-inch tablet-like touchscreens, and roomier cabins.

Since so many truck owners love to use their vehicles as family vehicles too, it wouldn't be too far out of line to see add-ons like a rear-seat entertainment system with dual 12.6-inch displays and a 15-inch Heads-Up Display in the front. The integrated BedStep from the 2020 model year is likely to be included, and several future Silverado HD models have been spied with cut-lines on the tailgate identical to those on the MultiPro tailgate. The Multi-Flex could feature a few distinct improvements over the MultiPro, such as a brand-new seventh position. Many diehard truck lovers have also been excited about the brand new ZR2 Package that transforms this full-size light-duty pickup into a very trusty and poised boulder-climbing machine.

Rumors have also been circulating about a hybrid powertrain for the Silverado, which could lead to an even more intensely modified platform. The exterior would then be constructed of aluminum to go easy on the final cost, as well as weight. The front end's character is expected to be dominated by the large mesh grille, and the chiseled hood is trimmed with chrome. We will keep you posted here about any other tidbits that come our way regarding the 2022 Silverado, America's hardest-working and most durable truck choice!
