While Chevrolet's passenger car list has constantly shrunk over the years – most recently with the demise of the sixth generation Camaro pony car – its commercial division is thriving alongside the crossovers, SUVs, and trucks in the lineup.
Today, the American brand has some Camaro left-over inventory stock that needs to be cleared away, as well as the C8 Corvette and $25,100 Malibu mid-size sedan on the passenger car side of the business. Meanwhile, the CUVs, SUVs, and trucks include the outgoing Bolt EVs, Trax, Trailblazer, Equinox and Equinox EV, Blazer and Blazer EV, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, and Silverado plus Silverado EV or Silverado HD.
Moving to the commercial division, the trio of trucks – Colorado, Silverado, Silverado HD – is joined by the Low Cab Forward model and the Express Cutaway or Express Vans series. Curiously, while most of the models are in line with the current Chevy design language, the Silverado 4500, 5500, and 6500 HD, along with the Express models, are the only ones looking as if time stood still for the past three decades or so.
More precisely, the Express vans look like they belong alongside the OBS fourth-gen Chevy C/K or the first-generation Chevy Silverado – they are basically a window into the Chevy truck style of the 1990s. Well, it was about time somebody did something about that, right, even if it is only the work of the imaginative realm of digital car content creators.
So, Jim, the virtual artist known as jlord8 on social media, loves messing around with all things CGI from GM, but this commercial van idea is still a little bit wacky even for him. However, he's just coming off a rant about how the fifth-generation Ford F-Series Super Duty would look massively great if they revived the humongous Ford Excursion, so maybe a big Chevrolet Express 2500 is just a way to continue the trend of big family SUVs/workhorses.
Regarding the design, there isn't much to say about his transformation of the big Chevy Express van, a series that kicks off with an MSRP of $38,100 in Cargo form. There's also the passenger model, which seats up to 15 onboard and kicks off at a higher rate of $42,300. However, the pixel master chose the Express Cargo version and probably worked with the 2500 Extended Wheelbase to make it a bit more imposing.
Also, the main difference between the real-world version and this design project is at the front where the Express got treated to the current design language – the styling used on the SUVs, though, not the trucks, as this Chevy Express 'RS' 2500 is more akin to the all-new 2024 Traverse rather than a Colorado or Silverado. So, do you approve or not?
