Read the full review

The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado is a petrol pickup with AWD and seating for 6. It belongs to the Gen 4 generation. The 1500 LT 3.0 Duramax is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.

Performance

The featured 1500 LT 3.0 Duramax version develops 277 hp and 623 Nm (460 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.2 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 175 km/h (109 mph). Its power output is about 25% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 20% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.

Fuel economy and range

The listed fuel consumption is 9.4 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 91.0 litres (24.0 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 214 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.

Dimensions and practicality

Its exterior dimensions are 5,895 mm (232.1 in) in length, 2,058 mm (81.0 in) in width, and 1,905 mm (75.0 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 3,655 mm (143.9 in). The cabin is configured for 6 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,350 kg (5,181 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 4,173 kg (9,200 lb). The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.

The model range

The recorded line-up consists of 1500 LT 5.3 V8 and 1500 LT 3.0 Duramax. Across the range, the specifications span 277 hp to 355 hp and 6.4 s to 7.2 s, while listed starting prices run from $37,895-$40,170. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.

In perspective

Compared with nearby petrol pickup models from the same period, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado does not separate itself through a single dominant headline figure, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
