A few months ago, GM Authority brought you an in-depth exterior tour of the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV, and we’re back at it now with a tour of the interior. Our Executive Editor, Alex Luft, spends nearly 20 minutes showing the RST trim’s cabin in great detail in the video below, examining the materials and space, seats and technology, and everything in between.
Specifically, the model in question is the 2024 Chevy Silverado RST First Edition, which is essentially a fully-loaded RST with a special badge on the center console lid.
Starting with the space, it’s nothing short of cavernous. No matter where they sit, passengers will have plenty of legroom even when the front seats are scooted all the way back. The rear floor lays flat, without a hump in the middle, as there is no driveshaft that runs through the center of the vehicle. Both the front and rear seats are heated, while the front seats are also ventilated.
While the primary interior color is black, a tasteful red and blue stitching theme runs throughout the cabin, from the doors, along the dash, and to both rows of seats. Another pleasing element is the soft material that lines the outboard armrest, though Luft wasn’t fully sold on the marine-grade-like material that spans the tops of the door cards.
The 2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST features the Bow Tie brand’s latest tech, including an 11-inch instrument panel screen (aka the digital gauge cluster) and a 17.7-inch infotainment screen. The rear view mirror can be a traditional one, or – at the flip of the mirror stem – become the Rear Camera Mirror, a technology GM pioneered.
Luft is also a big fan of the trick center console, which can be reconfigured by sliding back and forth, while also having a cavernous storage area below it. The presence of physical HVAC buttons and knobs also didn’t go unnoticed, and is a huge plus at a time when automakers are ditching these for on-screen controls.
The horizontally-oriented 17.7-inch infotainment system with Google Built-in is very good, shining when running the native Google Maps interface. Unfortunately, the Silverado EV RST – much like all of Chevy’s new Ultium-based EVs – does not offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. We won’t get into it here, but you can see why GM made this decision for yourself at this link: why GM is ditching Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. Interestingly, some Silverado EV models can be had with CarPlay and AA.
The Silverado EV RST also features the Multi-Flex mid-gate as standard. Luft demonstrates how to use this mid-gate in a separate video, which you can find here.
And then there’s the topic of the panoramic sunroof, a first for the Silverado. While the fixed glass presents well and provides a nice feel, the lack of a shade brings the entire purpose into question.
Luft goes over the good and the bad in the video above, so hit that play button, sit back, and enjoy. And once you’ve watched, tell us in the comments: is this interior worthy of the ~$100K asking price?

Wow for 100 large you get power fold mirrors, I got those on my 04 rcsb.
For 100 large you get no sunshade, bake your ass off like your in a fishbowl, I am sure that will go over great in places like AZ.
Hello, Alex
The reason the back windows are not one touch is a safety issue. You can’t see the windows when you hit the button. Your dog’s head, or your child’s arm, might be hit by the window.
MANY vehicles have all windows auto up/down. It’s a cost-cutting move, period.
Will… you are wrong. As I sit here in my 2023 Escalade, all four side windows are one touch up and down. My Porsche Panamera and Mercedes GLE all have the same feature.
This is a cost cutting measure, plain and simple.
Even my BASE MODEL Bolt EUV has one touch up/down too…
Here is an article from this website talking about rear express windows on an Escalade:

It is cost-cutting, not safety.
Personally I am not impressed with this vehicle. Surprised at all the hard plastic! Electric vehicles like this one is a bad idea IMO, especially where I live in rural Manitoba.
The question I have about this truck is quite simple: Who is this for?
I don’t have a good answer.
i saw one at starbucks today. does that answer your query
i see a lot of those around here. they do not look 100k worth.
for 100k im getting a lifted 2500 with the long bed so i can totally not be able to park it anywhere. but at least it’s a real truck.
we know the cyberwedge ages terribly, lets see how the silvyev does.
You think the Cybertruck will age poorly?
I seriously doubt that. It’s going to be one of those weird iconic things that’s around forever, I’m certain of it.
you misunderstood. how a car ages has to do with how it keeps up with usage. cyberbox ages terribly.
That makes no sense. It will still be that weird truck from the early 2020s, many decades from now. It won’t just go away. People will be talking about it for a long, long time.
People who buy this don’t have a clue what a truck is
Wrong. The people who buy this don’t have a clue that you even exist, and certainly don’t care that their purchase doesn’t fit within your limited understanding of what you think a truck is.
Waste of money if you buy this for $100K…..in 5 years the battery will be shot, and then what??????????????????
$40,000 for a new battery.
Alex,
Unfortunately tapping everything and pointing out that it’s not a material you wouldn’t be touching doesn’t help… just skip giving your two cents about those things. Using words like “stuff” doesn’t sound very professional, especially for the person who created this wonderful app. Focus on all the positive because complaining about the hard plastic is not helping the leaps and bounds the Silverado is over the Ford Lightening.
Stellantis first, then Ford and then GM. They’re finished with their current production mindset. Equinox EV on a lot in Calgary….$61,000!!! For a fu$&in’ Equinox. Laughable.
