Concurrent with the announcement of the new GMC Yukon, GMSV has also revealed update plans relating to other model, including the Corvette E-Ray, and both the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 upgrades and Chevrolet Silverado HD.
“GMSV has made a real impression in the local market and, thanks to this success, we’ve been able to make a strong business case for additional models and this latest arrival is testament to these achievements,” says Greg Rowe, Director of GMSV. “I’m excited to confirm the new GMC Yukon, will be remanufactured here in Melbourne and will be available in Australia and New Zealand.”
The announcement coincides with the 8,000th remanufactured Chevrolet Silverado emerging from the Premoso facility in Dandenong, Australia.
“The GMSV journey started in November 2020 with the launch of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, together with the announcement of the very first manufactured right-hand drive Corvette, the C8,” says Greg. “The popularity of GMSV vehicles has grown substantially in a few short years and this success was what inspired us to investigate the possibility of adding an all-new model to the line-up.”
GMSV dealerships will offer the highly-equipped GMC Yukon Denali and the first examples of the new model are anticipated to arrive in showrooms early 2025, with pricing and specification to be confirmed shortly before the start of sales.
The Corvette E-Ray has also been confirmed for arrival in 2024. The new model is the quickest accelerating Corvette ever, thanks to the addition of an electric drive unit to the LT2 6.2-litre V8 engine. An e-AWD system, the first-time, all-wheel drive is available in a Corvette, keeps the E-Ray sure-footed on most roads in almost all conditions.
“The electrified architecture makes this the most technologically advanced Corvette ever and we are pleased to announce that 2024 build of the new model is expected to commence mid-next year,” confirmed Greg.
Also announced for 2024 Chevrolet Silverado models, GMSV has announced a new GM performance exhaust will be added to both the ZR2 and LTZ Premium.
“The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will now be standard with an active performance exhaust system providing customers the flexibility of a ‘standard’ exhaust experience - or dialing up the limiter to hear that traditional V8 rumble,” said Greg.
The Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 will also receive a swath of added equipment, including Rear Camera Mirror, Multi-Colour 15” Diagonal Head-Up Display, Power Tilt/Telescoping steering column, Adaptive Cruise Control along with a Bose Premium Sound System.
