The all-new 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 upholds the Silverado’s reputation as one of the world’s toughest work trucks available. With all the features you need to get the job done, the Silverado also has a number of exciting features you wouldn’t expect to find in a pickup truck. Here are some of the Silverado 1500’s most impressive features.
Great Infotainment Features
One of the largest infotainment touchscreen displays in its class can be found on the new Silverado 1500. Drivers and front passengers can access a number of onboard systems from the 13.4-inch center console display, including the navigation system, music and media, diagnostic information, climate control system, and more.
Everything is intuitive, easy to use, and simple to navigate with just your voice. Connect your media, listen to the radio, access subscription services, and find out where you’re going with just a spoken command. There are also plenty of entertainment options available to keep all your passengers happy even on a long drive.
Accident Prevention
Chevy’s automatic emergency braking system is one of the most advanced safety features available in any car this year. It can automatically engage the brakes if there is an emergency, preventing a collision or at least mitigating the impacts if the collision cannot be avoided. A new feature of this year’s system is the inclusion of pedestrian detection in the front, which can automatically apply the brakes if a pedestrian steps out in front of the vehicle.
The forward collision alert system in this year’s Silverado 1500 scans the road ahead and alerts the driver to any potential accidents that may occur. The system will alert the driver to the possibility of an oncoming collision so that evasive action can be taken to prevent a collision. When you combine your attention and reaction times with tech like this that has your back, you have peace of mind on every drive.
Driver Assists
In order to prevent one of the most common accidents, lane keep assist was developed to prevent drivers from drifting out of their lanes due to fatigue. Cameras built into the system can identify road markings, and it will alert drivers if they begin to drift. Additionally, the system can help drivers keep their cars centered in their lane by helping them steer.
Chevrolet’s available Super Cruise system is by far the best among adaptive cruise control systems. Super cruise also does something that most adaptive cruise control systems can only dream about, in addition to autonomously controlling the Silverado’s speed: on more than 200,000 miles of roads in the U.S. and Canada, the Silverado 1500 can also automatically control steering. This makes those long drives a whole lot easier to endure.
Considering the new Silverado 1500’s powerful work systems and an impressive array of advanced safety features, this might just be not just the best Silverado ever, but the best truck out this year. To see this pickup for yourself, contact us at Stevinson Chevrolet today.
