The fully refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 offers tons of new updates and changes, with one of the biggest found inside with a completely overhauled interior space. Now, we’re taking a tour of the 2022 Silverado interior with the following feature video.
Captured on the floor of the 2021 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the video is hosted by GM Authority Executive Editor Alex Luft, who goes over all the details and features on offer. This particular 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the new ZR2 off-roading trim level, but the overhauled 2022 Silverado interior can be found on all trim levels from LT and above (LT, LT Trail Boss, RST, ZR2, LTZ, and High Country).
This particular color combination (otherwise known as “color way”) is the Jet Black with Graystone leather, with dark trim and pattered trim as a complement. There’s also yellow stitching in the upholstery for even more visual spice.
Standout features include a new digital gauge cluster and infotainment screen, forming a large horizontally oriented viewing space. The switchgear is new as well, including buttons below the central infotainment screen and HVAC controls lower in the center stack with a piano black finish. There’s also a new shifter, with the column shifter replaced by a new electronic precision shifter mechanism in the center tunnel.
Pull up on the central armrest, and you’ll find a wireless phone charger, plus more charging ports and even a 120-volt outlet. Storage is ample, with numerous trays and bins scattered everywhere.
In a GM Authority poll, readers overwhelmingly approved of the new 2022 Silverado interior, with 81 percent of poll takers voting in the affirmative, and 19 percent against. Check it out for yourself in the full video below:
The fully refreshed 2022 Chevy Silverado is once again based on the GM T1 platform, and offers several engine options, including the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine. Production of the ZR2 will ramp up in Q1 of next year at the GM Fort Wayne Assembly facility in Indiana.

Why can’t the regular cab get a nice look and good features!
Because it’s primarily purchased by fleets who are more concerned with up-front outlay and operating cost than “a nice look and good features.”
I own a construction company and am in my truck most of the day driving to jobs and delivering materials, I have always drove the upper trim level that looks nice and has the features I need being in my truck most of the day. Chevrolet decided in 2019 that I could no longer have a nice truck only people who don’t haul with them can have a nice truck! Shame on Chevrolet!!!
How many chips will be missing from these?
Infotainment screen is still too small! Horizontal view looks smaller.
with horizontal smaller screens the eyes don’t have to travel further down to see any information so it isn’t as distracting to the driver. IMO.
The screen is huge. You don’t know what you’re talking about if you think it’s small. See it in person. That will change your mind.
An “all new” sea of gray plastic. Can’t Chevy do anything else???
My 2-cents….Hasn’t the interior staff looked @ the competition? Ford Raptor has an awesome steering wheel. The feel of real control of your truck needs a racy steering wheel. I want the GM truck brand to succeed. Trust a guy that’s had cool trucks for many moons. Why not the Chevy Camaro steering wheel?
Thanks Alex. Looks like a very nice refresh on the interior. Appreciate your commentary.
Needs a bigger screen.
13.4 inches is not enough for you? Plus you have a 12.3 inch gauge in front.
Cheapness abounds, call up The RAM boys for a real interior!
Call up RAM boys for a trash gear selector.
Any guess if this interior will carry over into the 2500 for 2023? I’m not familiar with how fast they typically update the lineup with features debuting in the standard.
HD line is scheduled for several updates including the interior for ’23 as long as there are no additional setbacks. .
My god that’s a lot buttons, does it come with a shuttle Commander ?
Oh, oh, I heard there is going to be a button shortage! Now we’re screwed.
Is it just me, or does everything already look dirty in there ?
Sitting on the floor of the SEMA show as a display model it’s normal to have dust particles and lots of finger prints.
It’s just you.
Looks like the 2021 f150 interior…
Please get an eye checkup
Looks nice. But a few days in dusty roads and you’ll never get to all the dust hiding in all those new crevices.
And the damn console shifter is just a huge waste of storage space.
I might have to buy a 2021 or 2020.
Regarding the console, I was thinking the same thing.
I agree about the shifter, plus I can see myself accidentally bumping it when reaching for the HVAC controls. Anxious to see if the bench seat will be an option on the LT and above models, which would require a column shifter.
I really hate that they give in to people saying that the interior looks cheap. Big screens and a shifter in the center console does not make luxurious interior. The column shifter allowed more room in the console and who cares how big the screen is? You’re not at home watching TV, you’re supposed to be driving. Maybe that’s why I always see dodge truck drivers all over the road and not able to pay attention. They’re too busy watching the big screen.
I have to agree, that’s why I ordered a 21 Denali back in January. I like the look of the new seats and door panels, but the design of the dash reminds me of my mother’s 65 Plymouth (God is there an awful lot of shiny plastic in front of the driver). The console shifter belongs in a sports car, not a truck. I I want to drive something with a floor shift or a sporty steering wheel (like Len Walla thinks it needs), I can drive one of my other cars. It would be nice if my 21 had a slightly larger screen, but I don’t need one taking up the whole dash.
I’ve put 15K miles on my 21 Denali since April, and find nothing wrong with the dash layout in it. I’m also happy to have the phone charger where the shifter is in the new interior. My wife’s XT5 has a similar phone charger location, and it makes the phone impossible to see, and harder to get to. The XT5 also has an electric shifter, and if the one in the Sierra/Silverado works anything like the one in the Cadillac, it won’t be an upgrade from the column shifter.
I am not an early adopter.
Will get a 23 if a 22 is reliable and this new stuff is not troublesome and you can get a good deal on one.
When will this be available in a 3500HD
Sorry, I’ll stay with a 1977 Chevy Scottsdale trim interior. 350 small block engine with three speed manual with extra creeper low gear. It doesn’t have any computer chips and I can service all of it. Also it looks a lot better in my humble opinion.
Wonder if it will have the same ridiculously hard and uncomfortable seats as the 2021. I simply don’t understand what GM doesn’t get about this. Silverado’s, Tahoe’s, Yukon, even Cadillac get the same hard seats with no cushion or bolstering. Ford and Ram? Extremely comfortable the way a $60K-$70K truck should be. I love the “look” of the Silverado, but the seats are ridiculous.
I love the exterior look of the new(er) Chevy’s, my only hope is the “new” seats are comfortable. The first time I sat in a 2020 Silverado I simply couldn’t believe how hard, small, and featureless the seats were. No cushion, no bolstering, just hard and flat. Come’on Chevy. Ford and Dodge are blowing you away in the comfort department.
Is the Jet Black/ Umber available with the newest interior?
