7 Awesome Changes for Chevy’s 2024 Lineup

Lots of new content has been made available for Chevy’s 2024 lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs; you have a healthy buffet of new updates to existing trims, all-new trims for popular nameplates, and all-new models hitting the market. Before you visit North Park Chevrolet—your premier Boerne Chevy dealer—to buy something fresh and new, we recommend you brush up on a few of the savvy modifications to the 2024 lineup…

#7) The 1500 WT’s New Connectivity

The Chevy Silverado 1500 is one of the most popular vehicles in the US. Year in and year out, this pickup moves tens of thousands of units, and one of the most popular trims for the Silverado 1500 is the base WT, given that many people purchase their pickup for fundamental work-related functionality and utility. The 2024 model year has seen an update in the form of the WT trim now having OnStar support and wireless integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features.

It’s important to note that the Silverado 1500 has had wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support for years, but the WT trim was relegated to wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With the standard inclusion of wireless support, it now means that you don’t have to plug in cables to use your smartphone’s media, nav, or messaging apps. You can now wirelessly pair your smart device to the Silverado 1500 WT, giving it more upscale capabilities even as a base trim.

#6) The Blazer EV

The alternative fuel push by Chevy has resulted in a number of existing nameplates getting an overhaul with new ways to refuel or recharge. One of these is the Blazer EV, whose gas-powered foundation was already one of the most futuristic-looking vehicles in Chevy’s lineup. Turning it into an EV seems like a no-brainer, given that the Blazer was built to lure in those looking for a highly modern SUV. Boerne drivers who want to stand out will keep their eye on this new midsize electric vehicle.

The Blazer EV maintains the same trendy energy as the standard Blazer but with a lot of EV-centric features, such as the solid body panel across the front fascia and new two-tone accents on the exterior. The Blazer EV is a great midsize alternative option for those looking for an alternative fuel vehicle, and it sports a range of up to 320 miles on a full charge. There’s also more than just an economy-SUV element to the Blazer EV, with its multiple drivetrain options in the form of front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive; these give options for those who want a sports-themed EV with rear-wheel drive or some off-road traversal with all-wheel drive.

#5) The Trailblazer’s New Infotainment

Keeping in line with the new standard infotainment update for the Silverado 1500 WT, the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer delivers a new infotainment experience with a much larger digital driver display and touchscreen; this gives the owners of the subcompact SUV a lot more functionality and versatility compared to the previous outing.

You now have an 8.0-inch digital driver display for the Trailblazer, enabling you to customize the profiles and study your vehicle health telemetry. Additionally, the Trailblazer’s HD touchscreen has been upgraded from the 7.0- and 8.0-inch offerings to an 11.0-inch touchscreen; this makes it easier to access apps on the system, get better visualization feedback, and see things like points of interest or pins through the navigation display—which is always a good thing—making it easier than ever to venture through the backroads around Boerne.

#4) The Equinox EV

Another popular nameplate getting the all-electric treatment is the Equinox EV, which turns the popular compact SUV into a battery-powered transport. The Equinox EV is a great alternative for those looking for a small travel, work, or family vehicle that doesn’t depend on gas. If you’re into short daily errands in Boerne, then the Equinox EV is a good cruising option. It features a much more distinct look than the traditional version, with a visually different set of colors and accents that give the Equinox EV a unique look compared to other compact crossovers on the market.

The interior of the Equinox EV features a robust digital infotainment suite, featuring a large digital driver display and a 17.7-inch touchscreen with wireless integration for smart devices and user-friendly navigation and media apps. With available features like a moonroof, presence-based liftgate, and the myChevrolet app for easily finding charging stations, the Equinox EV is a robust entry in the compact SUV segment.

#3) The Silverado HD ZR2

One of the newest additions to the Silverado HD lineup is the ZR2 trim, which was originally released for the Silverado 1500 in the 2022 model year. The popularity of this trim was undeniable, and Chevy wisely decided to add the ZR2 to the heavy-duty variants of their flagship pickup, the Silverado 2500 HD and Silverado 3500 HD. This means you get all of the awesome features of the ZR2 but in a heavy-duty truck with huge amounts of trailering and payload capacity.

Having all of these awesome features for tackling utility-focused functions, but with the benefit of traversing off-road with those utility-focused functions, gives you a lot of opportunities to venture outside Boerne and hit up some off-road trails. So you can tow more, trailer more, or haul more, all while getting the benefits of the ZR2, which includes improved ground clearance, skid plates, Multimatic’s DSSV dampers, and front and rear electronically locking differentials; these combined with the Multi-Flex tailgate, make the Silverado HD ZR2 so much more effective and versatile for all kinds of truckers.

#2) The Corvette E-Ray

Yet another significant change for 2024 is the reinvigorated Corvette. Coming off the highly popular and well-received mid-engine Corvette C8, Chevy has an alternative to the expertly engineered LT2 engine in the form of a hybrid design, which gives you a completely overhauled performance profile for taking advantage of the battery-powered efficiency of an electric motor, with the top-end performance and reliability of the LT2 small block V8.

This is basically a best-of-all-worlds scenario for potential Corvette shoppers in Boerne, as you can reap the instantaneous torque provided by the electric motor but with the added performance and horsepower of the LT2 V8. This makes for an exciting new driving experience with the Corvette E-Ray’s electric all-wheel drive system, known as eAWD. The Corvette E-Ray is a unique entry in this long-running nameplate, and with features like “stealth mode” and magnetic ride control, you have a fast, responsive, easy-to-handle supercar under your control.

#1) The Silverado EV

Rounding out some of the most awesome features available in 2024 is the new Chevy Silverado EV. The completely electrified version of this popular full-size, light-duty pickup ushers in an entirely new trucking experience; it adds an all-new way to travel inside and outside of Boerne, all-new ways to engage with your ride, and all-new functionality for both leisure- and utility-focused truckers.

The Silverado EV offers up to 450 miles of range on a full charge, up to 10,000 lbs of towing capacity, and up to 754 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque. You also have frunk storage to supplement the bed box for hauling and carrying cargo. With four-wheel drive, the Multi-Flex Midgate, and an all-new 17.0-inch LCD freeform infotainment screen, the Silverado EV is aiming to be one of the most advanced electric vehicles on the market.
