Refreshed 2022 Silverado Interior Will Likely Use Google Infotainment Services

Recent spy photos of the refreshed 2022 Silverado interior reveal that the pickup icon will come with a new interior design filled with fresh features and the latest tech. Now, GM Authority is here to report that the upcoming 2022 Chevy Silverado will likely come equipped with Google Infotainment Services, as well.

Back in September of 2019, General Motors announced that it would integrate a variety of features and technology developed by the tech giant into new 2021 model year vehicles, including Google Navigation, Google Voice Assistant, and the Google app ecosystem. The new features would replace their respective GM counterparts, while continuing to leverage Android operating software.

At the time of the announcement, General Motors declined to state exactly which models would come with Google Infotainment Services. However, GM Authority has already confirmed that the all-new 2022 GMC Hummer EV will indeed come with Google Infotainment Services, as covered previously, and now, it looks as though the upcoming 2022 Chevy Silverado will use them as well.

Evidence of such comes from recent spy photos of the 2022 Silverado interior, which reveals a large infotainment screen integrated with the pickup’s center stack. Not only does the new screen integrate directly with the dash in a fashion similar to the all-new 2021 GMC Yukon Denali, but elements on the enlarged screen appear to come with similar iconography as that used by Google Infotainment Services technology.

If the refreshed 2022 Silverado interior does come with Google-supported infotainment, drivers will likely be able to do things like conduct hands-free calling and texting, climate control adjustments, and music selection via Google Voice Assistant, as well as get from A to B using Google Embedded Navigation.

The 2022 Silverado interior will be overhauled over the outgoing model, complete with the new, larger screen already mentioned, as well as a new center stack and a new center console, and a push-button shifter instead of a column-shift, all of which aims at resolving the perceived weak points of the vehicle. In addition to a new interior, the 2022 Chevy Silverado will also feature redesigned front and rear fascia designs.

  5. Pls don’t take away the column shifter from the silverado! If that’s the case, glad I got a new 2020 instead of waiting for the 2022. Had that in a rental vehicle & never used it b4 & didn’t like it at all. Definitely wouldn’t be my preference in a truck. But I guess that’s just my opinion however all the ppl I spoke with about it also didn’t like the push button shift either

    1. I agree. Removing the column shifter is just wrong. They said ” and a push-button shifter instead of a column-shift, all of which aims at resolving the perceived weak points of the vehicle. ” How is a column shifter a weak point when it has been around for decades? There is NO WAY a button shifter will last as long as the tried and true column shifter. Come on GM Engineers, get with the program and listen to the people. I for 1 will NOT buy a GM product if that is the only shifter choice I have. I was looking at a silverado for 2022, but no more if this is the case,

  6. Unfortunately all the trucks today couldn’t hold a dipstick to the work trucks of years gone by. Sheet metal is instantly dented no matter how many bends they try to put in a quarter panel. And at 50k I’ll keep my 86 c20 with out all the b.s. interior and computers.

  7. I hope the infotainment system supports Apple Carplay. If not, that’s a HUGE miss.

  8. I welcome a new digital dashboard, navigation, and entertainment system. It’s these things that will encourage me to purchase a new 3500HD truck. The current generation has a great powertrain and helpful towing features.

  9. IS GM CRAZY? GOOGLE IS SATAN. NO WAY FOR MILLIONS WHO UNDERSTAND, BETTER THAN GM DOES, THAT GOOGLE WANTS TO SUCK ALL YOUR INFORMATION AND MARKET IT. THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO CANCEL FLEET ORDERS FOR ANY GM CONNECTED SERVICE.

  10. I predict the new push button gear selection will be a complete disaster. I’m not understanding how the Colorado pickup has a console shifter, precisely where it should be. It’s more intuitive, feels better, and more ergonomic. The argument that it takes away space for a third front seat passenger is ludicrous to say the least. When was the last tie you saw three people in the front seat of a late model pickup, in any of the makes? And storage space? Who cares, there’s plenty of storage space already. The push button design is not intuitive, one has to look to see what button to press, with the console or column shift , at least you can feel your way, with eyes on the road. Still the big question is why the console shifter on Colorado and not on the full size trucks?
    Does GM really do customer feedback sessions? If so, nobody called me! Listen to what the people who are BUYING the trucks are saying. The sad part is all the major car companies are like sheep, they follow in each others paths, copying, imitating, always trying to get one up on the competition. There is no more originality, they are too busy listening to the bean counters, always trying to make everything cheaper, yet the quality seems to be getting poorer for the money they charge for new vehicles. Well, buyers will either buy or not buy, me I’ll wait till someone comes out with a vehicle I can purchase the way I want it. Maybe GM should try that and see what happens.
