Overview

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is slowly gaining popularity in the market now because of its affordable price tag, reliable powertrain, and dependable after-sales support. The brand, however, is all set to introduce the new 2022 iteration of this vehicle. Supposed to be a mid-life facelift model, the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will feature a number of changes, including a refreshed exterior design language.

Buying Advice

Since there is only one trim with two drivetrains on offer, we recommend the Silverado 1500 WT 4WD as it offers better traction and stability for the extra bucks you spend on it. Apart from that, everything remains the same for the two variants. Features like single-zone climate control, vinyl seats, dusk-sensing headlamps, and more come standard with the Regular Cab variant.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

One of the most popular variants of the Silverado 1500 happens to be the Regular Cab that rivals the likes of the Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500, and the RAM 1500 Classic. With prices starting from $30,995, how good will the new 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab be? Continue with the article to find out.

Features

The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is offered in three body shapes which were again sectionalized into various trims based on the engine, drivetrain, and cargo beds. However, the Regular Cab comes in just one trim with two drivetrain options: 2-wheel-drive and 4-wheel-drive. We expect the 2022 version of the Silverado 1500 to follow the same trim game with a slight increase in the price.

2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab: Infotainment and Connectivity

The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab will flaunt a 7-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with a lot of features. This system boasts features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 4g LTE hotspot, etc. In addition to this, it also gets Bluetooth connectivity, SiriusXM radio, and an inbuilt compass.

The audio system features only 2 speakers, which inarguably should have been better. The Chevy Infotainment 3 system is usually extremely responsive and easy to use with well-laid-out user menus. Major infotainment features include-

Exterior
7.0/10

 The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab is a mid-life facelift model and will feature an updated design language. For starters, the car will get new bumpers at the front as well as at the rear. The front grille too may get replaced with a more premium and attractive grille to complement the overall design.

Apart from that, the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab is also expected to get new headlights along with better-looking alloy wheels. The rear profile of the car is, however, expected to remain similar and may offer some minor tweaks.
