When the redesigned next generation 2019 Chevrolet Silverado arrives in our showroom later this year, it will have dropped 450 pounds from the previous model year. This is thanks to General Motors’ investment in 3D printing and generative design technologies that generate design options based on goals and parameters set by the user, such as weight, strength, material choice, and fabrication method. Since 2016, GM has dropped more than 5,000 pounds across 14 different vehicles, increasing vehicle efficiency with sacrificing performance or safety.

The biggest change to the Sonic for 2019 is that optional Turbo 1.4L LUV engine will become standard across all trim levels, bringing 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque.

We’ve seen this new vehicle testing for quite a while now, so we should hear soon when it will be joining the Chevy Traverse…
