The next-generation Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck has been revealed in recently surfaced patent images, offering a first official look at the 2027 model. The redesign indicates significant changes to the front and rear styling, with key features resembling current Chevy SUVs and the electric Silverado EV.
Updated Exterior Design
The most striking changes are at the front. The 2027 Silverado will feature C-shaped LED headlights, echoing the design language of the Tahoe and Suburban. The grille remains prominent but is paired with a more aggressively sculpted front bumper and hood. The hood now sports two raised sections, hinting at a powerful engine beneath.
The rear of the truck also sees modifications, with elongated taillights mirroring those found on the Silverado EV. Integrated steps in the rear bumper remain, suggesting continued functionality for easy bed access.
Interior Upgrades Anticipated
Though the patent focuses on exterior design, spy shots from earlier this year suggest a significant interior overhaul. The new Silverado is expected to adopt a large, curved display similar to the 33-inch screen currently offered in Cadillac models. This would bring the truck’s cabin up to par with modern infotainment expectations.
Powertrain Details
Chevrolet is expected to carry over existing powertrains, including the turbocharged four-cylinder and Duramax diesel engines. However, the real news is the development of a next-generation V-8 engine slated for production in 2027. This new engine will be featured in both trucks and full-size SUVs, signaling GM’s commitment to internal combustion alongside its EV offerings.
The 2027 Silverado is anticipated to launch in the 2027 model year, with a full reveal expected sometime in 2026. The patent filing confirms that Chevrolet is moving forward with a bolder, more modern design for its best-selling pickup truck.
