Front Fascia and Lighting

Silverado EV styling is defined by a wide, confident front end that looks high-tech without losing truck presence. Chevrolet highlights that LT includes uplevel exterior LED lighting, including an illuminated front bowtie, which adds a signature look at night and helps the truck stand out from a distance.
