Chevrolet Silverado

Holden might be gone but General Motors will live-on in the form of GMSV and Chevrolet. General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) is a factory-backed operation with a direct line to Detroit, but the vehicles will be converted locally to right-hand-drive by the same outfit that transformed Holden Special Vehicles for more than three decades. The GMSV line-up currently only has the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ powered by a 6.2-litre V8 petrol backed by a 10-speed auto.

Chevrolet has revealed its 2021 Tahoe and Suburban full-size SUVs, redesigned to use the T1 platform from the latest Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks. The new Chevy SUVs will go on sale mid-next year in North America and will be followed at a later date by their GMC twins, the Yukon and Yukon XL. The T1 platform will also spawn a new generation of Cadillac Escalade.

Overseas Vehicle Sales has recalled the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, adding them to the list of vehicles included in the Takata airbag inflator drama. According to the company, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can make the airbag propellant degrade over time. If the airbag is deployed in an accident, the metal inflator housing could explode or rupture.
