Chevrolet will host a special event on July 13th, sources familiar with the automaker’s plans revealed to GM Authority this week.
The event will take place on Tuesday, July 13th at 1 P.M. EST – just one day before the only official media day for the 2021 Chicago Auto Show. The timing of the event seems to indicate Chevrolet is set to debut a new product of some sort, which may then be put on display at the Chicago Auto Show following its appearance at the event.
It’s unclear what Chevrolet could have planned for this special event. We’ve been awaiting the arrival of the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500, but with the impending arrival of the Silverado 1500 Limited continuation model, it’s possible the mid-cycle enhancement (MCE) variant of the full-size pickup will not debut for a little while longer.
Last year’s Chicago Auto Show was held in February prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. GM debuted the 2021 Chevy Equinox at the show, which ended up being pushed to the 2022MY due to complications stemming from the pandemic. The Chevy Camaro Shock and Steel Special Edition and the Chevy Spark Special Edition also made their respective official debuts at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show.
The Chicago Auto Show will be the first major national auto show to be held since the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the U.S. last year. It will be followed by the 2021 New York International Auto Show in August and the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The North American International Auto Show in Detroit has been cancelled for 2021 and indirectly replaced by an outdoor “auto-centric event” called Motor Bella, which will be held at the M1 Concours circuit on Pontiac, Michigan in September.

Silverado EV?
No this is the new Silverado. They just teased the ZR2, and the limited model will be sold alongside the new one like the ram classic. The ram classic sale strategy worked so well ram just kept up the production of it long after they had intended. Earlier this year I mentioned that GM would do a private media reveal and would only give the media a week or less to prepare. Here it is.
Next Gen Camaro EV or Caddy Celestiq, fingers crossed!
Caddy has always been at NY. Hoping for the Silvy EV.
Special “Chevy” reveal. No caddie, no Buick. More than likely the new Silverado, and the regular one, not the EV unless you want the EV Silverado to debit with the old interior.
A rwd Malibu replacement concept?, if it’s another cowboy truck it needs to be shown at the TX beerbelly convention…..
The Chicago auto show is also known as the truck show in the industry. I would personally like to see the updated Silverado and the ev variant.
Waiting on the chance to order for 2022 will the show be live streamed
Well Celestiq was supposed to be due in July or August so it could be that even though we (Chicago) are known as the truck/SUV debut auto-show.
Nice to show new if only they could deliver units already sold I’m waiting for my Colorado are they building them .
It’s the truck MONTANA that’s being sold in Europe already. They want to sell it in the states now, More competition against their own kind midsized trucks.
I thought gm pretty much completely exited Europe, only selling a handful Cadillacs there. So, it’d be a massive surprise to learn they are selling a small truck there. It’s probably just another BEV announcement to pathetically try to get the stock price even more inflated. How about lowercase gm focus on making a passenger car people actually want… or are they just trying to lose all market share to Toyota?
This maybe a more of a personal opinion but I’m a GM guy and Ford has unvailed the 2022 Maverick. A small little pickup. And at $19,999 it will sell like hot cakes. I’m actually considering it. Unless GM can make a move. Chevy S-10 maybe?? 😉😉. We don’t need another $70k truck or a $60k sports car.
BRING BACK OUR IMPALA!!!!
💖💪🏾
YES I LOVE MY IMPALA!!
Z06 Let’s Go!!!
A new Nomad Wagon based on the Malibu.
Maybe concentrate on the lack of vehicles available and options that SHOULD be standard in them instead of pricing the same with lower options. Jumping through hoops to take whatever on the lot at that sticker price is just insane.
1. New Camaro with restyled interior and seating position with new dash and infotainment screen; or,
2. Cadillac CT4 convertible
BRING BACK THE CHEVY IMPALA…I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. I HAD FOUR IMPALAS….I OWN A 2017 CHEVY IMPALA PREMIER AND I LOVE IT!!
THE IMPALA IS GONE, SO I HAVE NO CHOICE, BUT TO FIND ANOTHER CAR OF A DIFFERENT COMPANY. I M NOT A FAN OF THE CHEVY MALIBU 😨😰😥😢😭
Can you make the blazer work? It’s supposed to be the same class of vehicle and drivetrain wise, it kinda is. I know some people hate the idea of a crossover. Just like they hate the idea of the minivan.
Finally I hope 2022’s come out for the 1500 I heard everything from the rear and front Facia to the interior is changing can’t wait to trade in my old Silverado
Prolly gonna be that lamo, volkswagon-truck looking montana. Boo!
A long awaited return of the square body K5 on a truck frame.
The police have the Caprice with a ‘vette engine. Civilians can’t get it
All-new names. Bolt will be renamed to Nut; Malibu will change to Gaviota; Silverado will change to Amarillo; Trax will change to something Trix and market them to kids; Traverse will change to Ames; the Spark will become the Injector, but with a catchy, trendy spelling like Injekter.
This will follow Chevrolet’s (and GM’s) tradition of changing the names of the same segment. This accomplishes two things: destroys the resale value on now-orphanded models, and has the public wondering “What happened to the [old model name here]?” and, “A Chevrolet [new model name here]? What’s that?”
BRING BACK THE IMPALA IN V8
Replacing the Trax with the Tracker. Chevy been saying past two years Trax is beyond its life cycle. 2022 last year for Trax.
Impala will never be resurrected again. The highest rated Car by Consumer report ever.
So, replace the outdated car with a new one but keep the names. The ’53 Bel Air was not the same car as the ’63 but the name remained the same.
it’s almost 2 PM EST and I haven’t heard anything from the event, there are no articles or livestream/videos.
Is this still happening?
It was streamed for Dealerships, not the general public. Honestly it was nothing special. Really no new releases. Just talk about inventory getting better, refreshed models that we all knew about, and small talk about the Silverado EV with 400+ and ZR2.
They’re also coming out with a Trail Boss trim for Colorado. I watched it for 1hr about stuff I already knew haha
We were sure it was going to be a consumer event, and not a dealer presentation.
However, here’s the new 2022 Colorado Trailboss package:

As well as the new 2022 Canyon Denali Black Edition package:

We’ll have some pictures of the trucks if they show up at the Chicago Auto Show tomorrow.
Cheers!
