Revamping the Road Warrior: The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado
With a resounding surge in Chevrolet pickup sales - an impressive 32 percent spike so far this year - the spotlight is shining bright on the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The upcoming model plans to ride this wave of momentum, reinforcing its position with significant enhancements tailored to meet the evolving demands of full-size pickup truck enthusiasts.
A Bolder Stance for the Silverado
Sandor Piszar, marketing director for Chevy Trucks, promises the redesigned 2016 Silverado will not only uphold Chevy Trucks' reputation for reliability but will also adopt a bolder, more robust aesthetic. Enhanced front-end designs, the introduction of broad horizontal components, intricately sculpted hoods, and dramatic illumination - these updates aspire to mirror the strength and sophistication that have propelled the Silverado to its current status as the fastest-growing full-size pickup brand.
Technological Advancements and Additional Safety Features
But the enhancements are not merely skin-deep. There is a focus on pushing technological boundaries too. The 2016 model will see the extended application of 8-speed automatic transmissions, and updates to the Chevy MyLink system, extending support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Committed to ensuring driver and passenger safety, Chevy also plans to roll out further safety technologies with this model.
Building on the Silverado Legacy
This makeover for the 2016 Silverado 1500 forms a part of Chevy Trucks' ambitious plan to maintain their current momentum. Following the Silverado 1500's complete overhaul in spring 2013, the model's sales have consistently surged by double digits, in terms of percentage, each subsequent year. As of June this year, the Silverado sales have seen an uplift of 14.6 percent. Chevy Trucks' success isn't restricted to their full-size pickups either; they've sold a noteworthy 41,575 midsize Colorados during the same period.
Chevy enthusiasts and potential buyers will need to sit tight for more comprehensive details about the 2016 Silverado 1500's upgrades. Chevy promises that all will be revealed closer to the public debut of this refurbished road warrior.
