The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado redesign is currently in its final phases of testing, with the last few months having brought plenty of prototype sightings. As such, one can only wonder if there's a connection to the Silverado rendering that landed on the GM Design Instagram page about twelve hours ago. Is this the official sketch for the production vehicle, or will we at least see some of these features make it into showrooms?
The GM Design Instagram page, which published the image about twelve hours ago, provides a window into the company's design studios, constantly delivering content that ranges from futuristic machines and reimagined classics to new jobs. However, the image could always be one of the many proposals that remain confined to the automaker's archive. Plus, with the spied prototypes being covered by heavy camo, it's simply too early to tell.

As explained by the company, the rendering is the work of Jacky Jingxu Zhan, a designer who's been with GM for over six years. Nevertheless, these styling cues appear to be just what the doctor ordered for the Chevy to fight the now-sharper competition delivered by the new Ford F-150 or the Ram TRX halo truck.

While we're talking performance off-road trucks, the proposal seems to introduce a hardcore approach to rugged terrain. We'll remind you the 2022 refresh will see the Silverado borrow the ZR2 badge of its smaller Colorado sibling. The Silverado ZR2 is expected to be a competitor for the said TRX and the Raptor incarnations of the F-150, which means you can expect it to one-up the current Trail Boss.

Exterior design aside, the newcomer will also feature a revised cabin (expect better materials and a larger infotainment display), while the list of features should be enriched with semi-autonomous driving technology.

The 2022 facelift for the Chevrolet Silverado is likely to launch by the end of the year.
