2021 Chevrolet Avalanche Rendered

With the holidays now upon us and plenty of white stuff out in the yard (at least for some of us, that is), we decided it might be fun to dig up an old nameplate from the Chevy portfolio and do a new rendering for all you fine folks. So then – say hello to the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche!
Naturally, we have to preface this new rendering with a disclaimer that, as far as we know, General Motors doesn’t actually plan on producing a new 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche. Rather, we thought it would be fun to pen up such a creation just to see what it might look like.
With that in mind, let’s dive into the rendering:
Up front, the 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche sports the same fascia design as the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Suburban. Indeed, we based our rendering off the next-gen full-size SUV that just debuted earlier this month, down to the broad front fascia and restyled lighting signatures.
For those that may be unaware, the original Avalanche was also based on the Suburban, hence the similarities between this 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche rendering and the latest next-gen Suburban. We’d also expect a next-gen Avalanche to come with all the same upgrades as the new Suburban, including the GM T1 vehicle architecture and an independent rear suspension.
Moving towards the rear of the vehicle, we find the four-door show its pickup influence with the hatch section converted into an open bed. While the 2021 Chevrolet Avalanche wouldn’t have the same space as, say, a full-size pickup like the Chevrolet Silverado, it would still strike a nice balance between passenger room and cargo room – just like the original.
In back, we also see the influence of the next-gen Suburban, with the taillamp housings, horizontal chrome trim, and quad exhaust pipes reflecting the latest Suburban’s design scheme.
Produced between 2001 and 2013, the original Chevrolet Avalanche nameplate saw just two generations come and go. This is what a third-generation might look like.

If they made a new avalanche that had the 3.0 diesel, sub 5,200lb curb weight, IRS with at least 1,500lb payload, and offered the Tahoe interior standard. Same folding bulkhead as the classic Avalanche.
I would very likely buy instead of a Silverado. Avalanche was a great truck and I think is due for a return. I’ve thought it would be great to return on a smaller T1 frame to be slightly smaller than Silverado (similar in size as the 2007-2013 Rado). And here’s the curve ball, offer a Buick version
I would love to see it! Good job!
Rij momenteel zeven jaar een Avalanche uit 2012 ,nog nooit zo n geweldige auto onder m n kont gehad,hoop echt dat de er een nieuwe versie van komt!! Ben waarschijnlijk de eerste die hem dan koopt
Would buy a 2021 Chevy Avalanche in a heart beat. Still have a 2008 and love it.
I WISH THEY WOULD. MAKE IT AGAIN I WOULD BUY ONE SLAM IT ON THE FLOOR I WOULD LIKE IT TO COME WITH A FEW ENGINE SIZE OPTION LAY IT ON SOME LEXANI WHEELS 26 INCE AND JL AUDIO STEREO SYSTEM WITH A. VERY NICE HEADDECK PIONEER OR KENWOOD. DOUBLE DIN. DOUBLE LAYER LIMO TINT ALL THE WAY AROUND CUSTOM GRILL AND LIGHTS SOME UNDER CARRIAGE LIGHTS
I agree with the diesel power-plant and dump the air adjustable shocks. I currently own a 2007 AV LTZ great vehicle.
I do pray that GM gets ot right this time and actually build the Avalanche.
I Owned the 08 it was a great truck. It’s a crying shame that they disconnected it in the first place. It seems every single time Chevy comes out with a good product that’s just right they just stop . Its ridiculous.
I would definitely buy the Avalanche..
Let’s hope they can pull it together and do it right….

There is a question that has never been asked or answered as to why it was discontinued.
I wish someone in the media would ask.
Is it too expensive to make, were there issues? What were total sales?
Are the new platforms unable to support it?
Is it just negligence it is not being made.
I would love to see the reason or excuse it was discontinued.
Also this would do even better as an option on a short med mid size wher an expanding bed could be a real benefit.
Check out the sales numbers on wikipedia and you’ll have your answers for why they didn’t keep building a second, completely different full size truck when they already had the Silverado.
Complaining about this it just like whining about regular cab / regular bed pickups, or manual transmissions. Or for that matter sedans and before that coupes.
Sales numbers and ROI can tell the tale that some don’t like to hear.
Too bad everyone on the web that always says to build it never follows through with buy it too.
If new trucks weren’t $60,000+ probably be more sales. Used market for Avalanches is very good though.
Used market for Hummers is good too. But it is still limited demand and limited supply. Going back into production is no promise of big profits vs risk.
If there was good money to be made I would have expected this vehicle would never have left production.
That was kind of my point.
A vehicle costs millions to put into production, and the Avalanche just wasn’t selling good enough to justify a new generation being engineered, marketed and sold.
They even said as much at the time.
The sales numbers and ROI were skewed because they overproduced the avalanche and then over discounted it to move more vehicles. This is a management problem not an indication that the car doesn’t have value.
I will agree to this, and will add when you stop advertising anything it drops like a rock. As such the AV, I would and will buy one if they ever came back out with one. Having had them in the past and don’t mind paying the 50+ price tag.
NO MARKETING… NO PROMOMOTION… NEVER A SALE… had the best truck on the market and hid it behind the garage!!!! Gee, wonder why the sales numbers were down. duh!
I bought mine brand new in 2000. She’s still a classic showroom beauty and drive her everyday!!!
The original Avalanche was built in Silao, Mexico because the plant had excess capacity. There are probably many reasons why it was discontinued but one of the reasons is because all full-size SUV production has been consolidated at Arlington, Texas, which does not have any excess capacity.
This article tells why it was discontinued. The reporter was able to talk to someone involved with the decision to do it.

My avalanche was the best vehicle I have owned
Just make sure the 6.2 will be a option
I owned a 2003 Avalanche Z71 and a 2009 Avalanche LTZ both 5.3L. The 2003 was excellent; good quality inside and out. The 2009, built after the GM bankruptcy, was poor build quality. Interior was substandard, which was an LTZ compared to the 2003 Z71. 2009 dash cracked in 3 places and leather seats and door trim also failed at 18K- 20K miles. 2009 exterior vinyl trim faded and discolored; had three sets of wheels replaced for corrosion and faulty construction. Ib now own 2019 Silverado High Country w/ 6.2L, 10 spd. Fantastic vehicle & technology inside & out. The 6.2 gets very poor mileage even with 10 spd. but I personally don’t care.
You don’t care????….wake up!!! If you’d care about the planet you would NEVER say that….sad….absolutely pathetic….
Stfu snowflake tree hugger!!
SMALLER? At that point I think you are just sitting in a Honda Ridgeline. Cute little machine. Meow
Wish they would bring back the avalanche cause my husband and our sons would be first in line to get another.
We bought the 1st. one in South Jersey and we bought the last one (2013) model. We still have it and really don’t want another car/truck. Sorry to say we will have to have a new something before the year ends.
Makes total sense which means it won’t happen….
I owned a 2500 Avalanche 4×4 with the 496 engine and selling it was the biggest vehicle mistake of my life. My current 3/4 ton 4×4 Duramax Silverado doesn’t even come close in ride comfort. The 16 miles per gallon mileage, at 70 miles per hour, with the diesel is the same as I received with the 496 gas engine. I would be the first in line for a new Avalanche.
I hope all these toys are electric….if not then, be aware you are indirectly killing people!!!!
Shut the fucl up
Shut up, idiot!
on this forum are we allowed to use anti-homosexual phraseology? Not in the hateful way a hick would use while in San Francisco in the 80’s during the height of the AIDS tragedy, but rather, as we all did in grade school from 1950-anything through to the 70’s. Yes, it took me 23 years to get through and beyond the 5th grade. Meow
Building vehicles nobody buys doesn’t make sense. Or money.
I have been waiting for the Avalanche’s return. It was an awesome vehicle ( had a 2007 and 2011). Replaced priors with a Tahoe and now Denali XL. Would take the Avalanche any day over those!!
I currently have an 07 LT and I’m still loving it after all these years. Just recently changed some gaskets!! Best vehicle, I invested in!!!!
I have a 2007 LTZ also. 250000 miles and still going strong! I don’t want to get rid of it until they have another Avalanche available. I would love to see this vehicle on the market.
No this doesn’t make sense at all something has to be different you can’t have the Silverado an the suv an the avalanche all look the same Gm is already oheaded to bankruptcy this is going to make them get there faster
Exactly how??
No, it’s gotta have the open sails. That’s the only thing I need changed. Other than that give me a Trailboss Edition and I’ll trade in my ’08 Z71 in a heartbeat.
I am a current owner of the 1st gen Avalanche, 2002. The Avalanche was a very different design and had it’s time of season. But to bring it back with the similar looks as the Silverado, well, it isn’t that great or good. It should be very different, it’s own character. A 5.3L with 4L80E or 6 speed manual, 4×4. The perfect power train for this truck.
I think it looks pretty slick even with the new front end.
This isn’t the Silverado front end it’s the suburban front end
I’ve been an Avalanche fan from day one but this GM doesn’t have the balls to build anything that someone doesn’t build first even if they started it.
I had 2001 Chevrolet Avalanche and my wife and I both thinks it’s the best vehicle I ever owned. I drove it for 3 years building my retirement home here in WV from Baltimore. I carried all the lumber, rock, cabinets etc. I had a full load Everytime I drove up, usually 240 miles round trip. We loved it. I would own another if Chevy comes out with it in 2021. Only negative thing was it didn’t get good gas milage. I have a 2017 High Country and on the open road I get around 22 mpg. Please keep my e-msil and keep me updated.
Thanks,

I loved the Avalanche right out of the gate but was never able to get one when they were in production. This summer I was int he market for a used truck for weekend use and came across a nice 2011. Snatched it up and it is amazing. The versatility is great. Ride, second to none.
I’d like to see it in production again just so there would be a used one available in the years to come.
If they build it people will come. They will hand over money for no reason lol.
Absolutely loved my 2005 Avalanche.it served me well for 11 yrs. Replaced it with a 2013 GMC Sierra. No comparison. The Avalanche was in a class way beyond pickup trucks.
I just retired and a new Avalanche is my dream retirement car. Please please please.
I prefer the Silverado body panels.
I would like to know when it’s coming out close to the end of December 30 and I would like to see 2022-2023 chevy avalanche spy photos next week as and update and I think the package that should come with it should be gas and electric and it should have super cruise and the towing capacity should be 14,000 and it should and the screen and a middle center console arm rest and the tailgate should be like the 2022 chevy silverado and the price for the 2022-2023 chevy avalanche should be $47,000 with a 5th wheel hitch package and a roof rack I would look forward to seeing a reply back
My 2008 Avy would be in consideration for a trade/upgrade. Didn’t realize how much I would like my Avalanche until I had it but for a bit and be it being my first truck out of necessity, it checked all the boxes I need for a truck. Decent towing, nice interior, smaller bed for the normal around town stuff, and a non-truck like ride.
I had a 07′ and 13′ with 170k miles on it. Drove my 07′ to 250k, love the trucks.
Perfect Xmas present (Great job)!
Great classic lines, Independent rear (Lower loading height). A perfect replacement for a great truck. I still own a 2006 Avalanche. Most comfortable vehicle ever and totally dependable. My wife doesn’t want to replace it. This could be the ticket. Suggestions: Keep the enclosed interior (cost savings), with reclining fold up rear seats, go with 6’5″ bed and a tailgate with a fold up end section so that you can still carry 4X8 sheets of plywood or do a split tailgate like Ram for better access to the bed. GM I hope you listening, this will sell!
That there is a thing of beauty!! I love my ‘09 but I would be parting ways with her for this tenderoni!! Lol!!
I have 02 Avalanche with 275,000 miles. Love my truck, and will keep driving it till it dies. I used it for everything from towing boats and camper and much much more. Will never have another vehicle like my Avalanche.
It would be great if they brought the Avalanche back. I would like to replace my 2002 with a new one. The Avalanche is the best SUT (sport utility truck) made!
Add the open sail panels, which were there for aerodynamics, and throw in the new adaptable GMC tailgate and I’d finally have to replace my beloved 2002 Avalanche. (Are you listening Chevy?)
Nicest looking truck I ever had. But also biggest piece shit. First three months I owned it, it was in the shop. Many electric gremlins. Terrible gas mileage also, 13 mpg. Very glad to get rid of it.
Don’t bother to bring it back.
There are panels available for the Silverado to give it more of an avalanche look. Naturally, the bulkhead doesn’t open up, but it does the job for looks.
