Because of its unique combination of positive improvements especially in its powertrain, chassis, ride and handling and interior amenities, the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado is named as the best redesigned vehicle for the year by Kelly Blue Book’s kbb.com. The Silverado bested over 40 other redesigned vehicles for this year. Following the Silverado were the following finalists: Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Aveo Sedan, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chrysler Sebring, GMC Sierra, GMC Yukon, Lexus LS 460, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Toyota Camry.

According to Jack R. Nerad, editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book and kbb.com, “The 2007 Silverado solidified its case for ‘Best Redesigned Vehicle’ with its notably improved steering, braking, ride comfort, handling and power delivery. Combined with the segment’s highest available towing capacity and horsepower as well as its best available fuel economy, thanks to its Active Fuel Management, Chevy’s newest pickup is poised to make a significant impact in this era of tougher yet more luxurious trucks.”

Past winners of the best redesigned vehicle include the Honda Civic for 2006, the retro-styled Ford Mustang in 2005 and the redesign of Ford’s flagship pickup, the Ford F-150.
