The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado is a petrol pickup with AWD and seating for 6. It belongs to the Gen 4 generation. The 1500 LT 5.3 V8 is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1500 LT 5.3 V8 version develops 355 hp and 519 Nm (383 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.4 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 175 km/h (109 mph). Its power output is close to the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 7% 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 12.4 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 91.0 litres (24.0 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 283 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 2,280 kg (5,027 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 5,216 kg (11,499 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. 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.
