Chevy continues to supersede drivers' expectations with its new powertrains and innovative changes to its model line-up. With the rise of electric vehicles, the manufacturer highlights the genius engineers behind the new Chevrolet Silverado EV as the truck features never before seen technology within a Silverado model. Sustainability and performance merge, and the vehicle is incredibly balanced.
The truck is an example of impeccable engineering, but it isn't without competition. The new start-up company, Rivian, released the Rivian R1T to the delight of those looking for the epitome of innovation. The Rivian R1T earns its notoriety from its attractive design, quick acceleration, and robust powertrain. Although the vehicle is great, several features, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, have yet to be added.
With both vehicles hosting magnificent amenities, it may be difficult to choose between them. Fortunately, our dealership is here to help Delphos drivers decide on what's best. Learn more about the two vehicles below.
Powertrain and Drivability
Beginning with the new Chevrolet Silverado EV, the truck features magnificent specs. Unlike the vehicle's counterpart, the Hummer EV, the Silverado EV boasts two motors. The implementation of these motors causes the car to provide Van Wert, OH, drivers with immense drivability and power. Ambiguity surrounds some additional details with the new truck; however, we know the vehicle's 664 horsepower and all-wheel drivetrain in the RST model. Acceleration is likely to be quick and handling superior due to an advanced suspension system and four-wheel steering system. Drivers can also expect a sustainable drive due to the vehicle's incredible range. Chevrolet states that the truck can provide drivers with a massive 700 miles of range before needing to recharge. For Lima, OH, customers interested in off-road capabilities, the Trail Boss model is a great option. All-terrain tires and locking differentials will likely be standard. The versatility of the Silverado has always been impeccable, and the Silverado EV will undoubtedly carry on the manufacturer's commitment to excellent drivability.
The Rivian R1T is a dynamic vehicle for the uniqueness of its powertrain. The innovative technology that powers the truck is sure to defy the expectations of Wapakoneta, OH, drivers. Setting the car apart is the separate electric motors that power each wheel. An all-wheel drivetrain is standard, and a large battery makes a heartstopping 835 horsepower for an assertive drive. Off-roading isn't as handy as the Silverado EV, but the Rivian R1T can ensure a safe and comfortable off-roading experience for St. Marys, OH, passengers.
Exterior
The new Chevrolet Silverado EV is a gorgeous vehicle. From the outside, the grand truck doesn't appear to look too different from the manufacturer's previous models. However, a trained eye can quickly identify the aerodynamic frames, compact design, and bold front fascia. A notable difference is the large LED light strip that frames the face of the vehicle. Under this is distinct RST lettering for those who purchase the model. And a sizeable perforated grille is positioned above the front bumper.
The Rivian R1T looks futuristic, and the truck looks like a concept model. The front fascia of the car is praised for its incredible uniqueness, and the frame of the Rivian is compact. It isn't as large as the Silverado EV, but the more petite frame supports an extensive wheelbase.
