NEW CHEVROLET SILVERADO ZR2: 6.2L V8 + 420hp (425,8 PS) – the Chevy flagship / Das Chevy Flaggschiff!

 

 

Der weiterentwickelte 2022 Silverado verfügt über ein gehobenes Außendesign und ein neues, ausdrucksstarkes Interieur mit verbesserter Technologie. Zu den Änderungen gehören ein standardmäßiger 13,4-Zoll-Diagonal-Touchscreen bei LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ und High Country sowie die verfügbare Super Cruise-Freisprech-Fahrerassistenztechnologie mit Anhängerbetrieb bei High Country. Ebenfalls neu für 2022 ist eine verbesserte, stärkere Version des 2,7-Liter-Turbo-High-Output-Motors, der 20 % mehr Drehmoment bietet.

„Der Silverado ist legendär und begeistert immer wieder neue und treue Kunden. Für das neue Modell 2022 haben wir die Silverado-Produktpalette verbessert, um auf ihrem Erfolg aufzubauen und den Kunden mehr Auswahl, ein raffiniertes Design und neue Technologieoptionen zu bieten“, sagte Kelly MacDonald, Director, Chevrolet Truck Marketing. „Die Aufnahme des brandneuen Silverado ZR2, Chevys Flaggschiff-Geländewagen, baut auf einem bereits starken Portfolio von werksseitig angehobenen Pickups von Chevrolet auf, die neue Käufer anziehen sollen.“

Zu den weiteren Highlights des neuen Chevrolet Silverado 2022 gehören

• Ein komplett neu gestalteter Innenraum für LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ und High Country mit einer neu gestalteten, geschwungenen horizontalen Instrumententafel, die die Kabine geräumiger macht, zusammen mit einer neuen, funktionaleren Mittelkonsole
• Ein 13,4-Zoll-Farb-Touchscreen und ein neues konfigurierbares digitales Kombiinstrument mit 12,3-Zoll-Diagonale
• Serienmäßig bei Ausstattungen mit dem neuen Interieur bietet Google built-in Zugriff auf Google Assistant, Google Maps und Google Play direkt auf dem Infotainment-Bildschirm. Dieses neue Erlebnis funktioniert mit Android AutoTM3- und Apple CarPlay4-Funktionen und bietet Kunden ein neues Maß an Anpassung und Flexibilität
• Jede Front verfügt über eine neue Verkleidung, die die Stabilität und Stärke des Trucks mit einer breiten, niedrigen Haltung unterstreicht, während neue Tagfahrleuchten mit animierten Walk-Up- und Walk-Away-Funktionen zusätzlich zu den Wisch-Blinkerfunktionen

Der kräftig aufgefrischte Chevrolet Silverado kommt im Frühjahr 2022 zu den Händlern.

ZR2 Highlights

• Standard-6,2-Liter-V-8-Motor mit 420 PS und 460 lb-ft Drehmoment, gepaart mit einem 10-Gang-Automatikgetriebe
• Silverado Erst-Anwendung von Multimatic 40-mm-DSSV-Stoßämpfern, die Folgendes bieten:
  Drei separate Schieberventile zur Steuerung der Dämpfung
  Drei verbundene Kammern für den Flüssigkeitsfluss
• Einzigartig abgestimmte Federn, die mit den Multimatic-Dämpfern den maximalen Federweg vorn und hinten im Vergleich zum Silverado Trail Boss erhöhen
• E-Schließfächer vorne und hinten
• Spezifische Offroad-Fahrwerks- und Federungskalibrierungen, einschließlich Terrain-Modus, der das Krabbeln mit einem Pedal ermöglicht
• Spezifische 33-Zoll-Offroad-MT-Reifen
• Einzigartiges Unterfahrschutzpaket
• Neue Frontstoßstange aus Stahl mit hoher Annäherung, die auf Stabilität, Haltbarkeit und Bodenfreiheit im Gelände ausgelegt ist und einen verbesserten Anfahrwinkel von 31,8 Grad im Vergleich zu anderen Silverado-Offroad-Modellen ermöglicht
• Der Stoßfänger ist mit abnehmbaren Endkappen ausgestattet, um den Austausch bei Beschädigung mit Steinen oder anderen Offroad-Objekten zu erleichtern. Der Doppelauspuff wurde vor der hinteren Stoßstange platziert, um mögliche Schäden zu vermeiden.

 

Silverado propulsion and capability

Die Motorenpalette des Silverado wird für die neuen 2022-Modelle verstärkt und gestrafft, beginnend mit bedeutenden Verbesserungen des 2,7-Liter-Turbo-Hochleistungsmotors. Es hat eine maximale Anhängerleistung von 9.500 Pfund in einer Konfiguration mit Zweiradantrieb.

Ein neues, steiferes Zylinderblockgussteil bildet die Grundlage für den verfeinerten 2,7-Liter-Turbo-Hochleistungsmotor und wird durch eine um 30 Prozent steifere Kurbelwelle ergänzt. Der Motor behält sein vollständig geschmiedeten Block sowie die Technologie bei, die in Dieselmotoren verwendet wird, um die Haltbarkeit des Pickups zu gewährleisten.

Diese Verbesserungen ermöglichten es den Ingenieuren, Geräusche zu reduzieren und den Motor auf eine höhere Drehmomentproduktion abzustimmen, insbesondere im nutzbaren unteren bis mittleren Drehzahlbereich. Das maximale Drehmoment wird von GM auf 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) geschätzt, was einer Steigerung von 20 Prozent gegenüber dem aktuellen Motor entspricht.

Es gab auch Überarbeitungen der Schaltung des Achtgang-Automatikgetriebes, um sanftere Schaltvorgänge zusammen mit schnelleren Herunterschalten zu realisieren.

Der andere Motor ist der beliebte 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel. Chassisänderungen ermöglichen jetzt die Einbeziehung des maximalen Schlepppakets, sodass der 3.0L Duramax jetzt eine maximale Anhängelast von 13.300 Pfund in einer Konfiguration mit Zweiradantrieb hat. Dies ist eine 4.000-Pfund-Verbesserung gegenüber den 2022 Silverado LTD-Modellen und verleiht einem Motor, der für seine Laufruhe und beeindruckende Effizienz gelobt wird, neue Nutzungsbereiche.

Beide Motoren sind Teil einer Antriebspalette, zu der auch der bewährte 5,3-Liter-V-8 mit dynamischem Kraftstoffmanagement und der 6,2-Liter-V-8 gehören – der stärkste V-8-Saugmotor im Segment. Alle V-8-Motoren und der 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel werden exklusiv mit einem 10-Gang-Automatikgetriebe kombiniert.

New for 2022 is the first-ever Silverado ZR2, Chevy’s new flagship off-road truck and the latest addition to a successful lineup of off-road, factory-installed lifted trucks.

The enhanced 2022 Silverado also features an elevated exterior design and a new, expressive interior with enhanced technology. Changes include a 13.4-inch-diagonal touchscreen standard on LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ and High Country and available Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance technology¹ with trailering on High Country. Also new for 2022 is an enhanced, stronger version of the 2.7L Turbo High-Output engine that offers 20% more torque.

“The Silverado is legendary and continues to excite both new and loyal customers. For the new 2022 model, we’ve enhanced the Silverado lineup to build on its success, giving customers more choice, a refined design and new technology options,” said Kelly MacDonald, director, Chevrolet Truck Marketing. “The addition of the all-new Silverado ZR2, Chevy’s flagship off-road truck, builds on an already strong portfolio of factory-lifted pickups from Chevrolet that are bringing in new buyers.”

Additional highlights to the new 2022 Chevrolet Silverado include

• A fully redesigned interior for LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ and High Country trims featuring a redesigned, sweeping horizontal instrument panel that makes the cabin feel more spacious, along with a new, more functional center console (with available electronic shift control on most trim levels)
• A 13.4-inch-diagonal color touchscreen and new 12.3-inch-diagonal configurable digital instrument cluster standard on models with the new interior
• Standard on trims with the new interior, Google built-in² offers access to Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play right on the infotainment screen. This new experience works with Android Auto^TM3 and Apple CarPlay⁴ capability and offers new levels of customization and flexibility for customers
• Every trim features a new front fascia, which emphasizes the truck’s stability and strength with a wide, planted stance while new daytime running lamps have been programmed with animated walk-up and walk-away functions in addition to swiping turn signal functions on select trims

The robustly refreshed Chevrolet Silverado arrives at dealerships in spring 2022.

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 features⁸ 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 and supporting comparable payload and trailering capability¹² to other Silverado off-road trims. ZR2 max payload is 1,440 pounds and the conventional trailer weight rating is 8,900 pounds¹⁴.

ZR2 highlights include

• Standard 6.2L V-8 engine, delivering 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission
• Silverado-first application of Multimatic 40mm DSSV spool-valve dampers, which feature:
  • Three separate spool valves to control damping
  • Three connected chambers for fluid flow
• Uniquely-tuned springs that, with the Multimatic dampers, increase maximum front and rear suspension travel, compared to the Silverado Trail Boss
• Front and rear e-lockers
• Specific off-road chassis and suspension calibrations, including Terrain Mode, which allows one-pedal⁵ rock crawling
• Specific 33-inch off-road MT tires
• Unique skid plate package
• New high-approach steel front bumper designed for off-road strength, durability and clearance that enables an improved 31.8-degree approach angle compared to other Silverado off-road models

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, ZR2 badges, unique 18-inch wheels and a unique Jet Black/Graystone leather-trimmed interior, with complementing dark trim.

Elevated exterior design

Starting with an already bold style, the Silverado’s designers enhanced the 2022 model with elements that reinforce the truck’s wide, stable and confidence-inspiring stance while also incorporating refined cues that reflect how many customers use their trucks today — often as a family’s primary vehicle.

On the exterior, every trim receives a new front fascia and grille design that lowers the headlamps to emphasize the Silverado’s strength and stability. On LT models and above, the wing-shaped daytime running lamps that were introduced in 2019 are revised and feature animated lighting sequences when approaching, starting or walking away from the vehicle.

What hasn’t changed with the new 2022 Silverado’s exterior design is the durability and versatility. The sturdy, roll-formed high-strength-steel construction of the bed floor is the foundation for a class-leading⁶ 89.1 cubic feet of standard cargo bed volume.

There are also 12 standard tie-downs, more than any competitor, and innovative features such as the available and industry-first power up/down tailgate and the available six-position Multi-Flex tailgate.

Three new exterior colors are offered with the refreshed 2022 Silverado: Dark Ash, Sand Dune and a vibrant blue recently named Glacier Blue Metallic¹³ by some of the most loyal Chevy owners, Chevy Truck Legends.

All-new interior appointments

Silverado has a refreshed interior on the LT trim and above, incorporating new materials into a design that gives the cabin a spacious and more premium feel.

The new interior is rooted in a driver-oriented instrument panel that incorporates a bold 13.4-inch-diagonal horizontal touchscreen, along with a 12.3-inch-diagonal digital, configurable instrument cluster. Notably, the vertical elements of the 2021 model’s instrument panel have been replaced with horizontal lines and floating elements that enhance the feeling of spaciousness to the Silverado’s cabin.

“It’s a more contemporary, refined design that elevates the premium nature of the interior,” said Alexandre Scartezini, Chevrolet Truck lead interior designer. “It’s also a more driver-oriented space that’s connected to our performance heritage, with a hint of Corvette influence in its design DNA.”

Additionally, the new center console incorporates an available electronic shift controller in models with bucket seats.

The look and feel of the interior are elevated with new available colors, seat designs and more premium materials throughout. That’s especially true for the top-level High Country trim, which features new and unique elements including:

• Authentic open-pore wood trim on the console, upper glove box and doors
• Standard leather seating surfaces with an exclusive custom perforation and stitching pattern
• Stainless steel speaker grilles with the Bose premium audio system, standard on High Country and LTZ
• Two interior color choices, Jet Black or Nightshift Blue

Dynamic integrated technologies

Silverado’s new infotainment⁷ screen is the centerpiece of the more intuitive technology and is paired with a new digital, configurable instrument cluster. Together, they provide customers with a bold, panoramic and at-a-glance view of the important vehicle feature readouts and infotainment settings.

The configurable cluster and infotainment display are designed to engage customers with new levels of personalization and intuitive interaction. It starts the moment the driver slides behind the wheel and the driver information center comes to life. The available Rear Camera Mirror⁸ and Head-Up Display take the total to four technologically advanced screens, each helping provide an engaging and comprehensive driving experience.

The standard four user-selectable cluster layouts enable flexibility for a display that meets individual needs: the simplest layout for long, flat highways or more information for technical trails or heavy traffic. And if a driver is preparing for snow, ice or off-roading ahead, engaging visuals can represent the terrain mode selected.

Additionally, all Silverado trims LT and above are equipped with Google built-in compatibility. With it, customers can control certain vehicle functions by saying, “Hey Google” or pressing the “push to talk” button on the steering wheel. Customers can use their voice to call or text friends, listen to music, set reminders, or even change the temperature in the car.

Google built-in complements technologies Silverado customers have already come to love, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, as well as available Amazon Alexa.

Super Cruise driver-assistance features

The enhanced 2022 Silverado will be the first Chevy pickup offered with available Super Cruise, the industry’s first true hands-free driver-assistance technology for compatible roads. It is available on Silverado High Country and can be used on more than 200,000 miles (320,000 km) of compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada.

Super Cruise employs many advanced technology features, including a Driver Attention System and precision LiDAR map data. The Driver Attention System uses a small camera located on the top of the steering column and works with infrared lights to determine where the driver is looking whenever Super Cruise is in operation.

If the Driver Attention System detects the driver’s gaze has turned away from the road ahead for too long, the steering wheel light bar will prompt the driver to return their attention to the road. If the system determines continued inattentiveness, it will use visible and audible alerts to notify the driver to take back control of the wheel.

Super Cruise can be used when trailering with the Silverado, with specific calibrations designed to account for the additional drag and increased braking distance that comes with trailering. When not trailering, Lane Change on Demand and Automatic Lane Change are also available with Super Cruise.

The 2022 Silverado’s capability to tow hands-free on compatible roads adds to trailering technology leadership that includes up to eight available cameras. No competitor offers more camera views¹⁰. The available Advanced Trailering System with an in-vehicle trailering app¹¹ helps make trailering easier from departure to arrival.

In addition to Super Cruise, the 2022 Silverado also offers other driver-assistance features with trailering in mind, including Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert⁸, which accounts for the length of the trailer when changing lanes, and enhancements to Adaptive Cruise Control⁸ to enable use while trailering.

For the new 2022 Silverado, Chevy Safety Assist⁸, a suite of six standard active safety features, is standard on every trim, and includes Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam auto high beams.

Additional safety features such as HD Rear Vision Camera⁸ and Buckle to Drive are standard across the lineup for the new 2022 Silverado models.

Silverado propulsion and capability

The Silverado’s propulsion lineup is strengthened and streamlined for the new 2022 models, starting with significant enhancements to the 2.7L Turbo High-Output engine. It has a maximum trailering rating of 9,500 pounds in a two-wheel drive configuration¹².

A new, more rigid cylinder block casting is the foundation for the refined 2.7L Turbo High-Output engine and it’s complemented with a 30-percent-stiffer crankshaft. The engine maintains its fully forged bottom end as well as technology used in diesel engines to deliver on truck durability.

These enhancements enabled engineers to reduce noise and tune the engine for greater torque production, particularly in the usable low-mid rpm range. Maximum torque is GM-estimated at 420 lb-ft (569 Nm), over a 20-percent increase compared to the current engine.

There also have been shift scheduling revisions of the 2.7L Turbo High-Output engine’s complementing eight-speed automatic transmission to offer smoother shifting, along with quicker downshifts, for a greater feeling of refinement and power on demand.

The other engine that sees improvements is the popular 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel. Chassis changes now allow inclusion of the max tow package, so the 3.0L Duramax now has a max tow rating of 13,300 pounds in a two-wheel drive configuration¹². This is a 4,000-pound improvement over the 2022 Silverado LTD models and brings new capability to an engine praised for its smooth ride and impressive efficiency.

Both engines are part of a propulsion lineup that also includes the proven 5.3L V-8 with Dynamic Fuel Management and the 6.2L V-8 — the most powerful naturally aspirated V-8 engine in the segment. All V-8 engines and the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel are paired exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission for retail customers.
