At the end of July, the new 2021 Chevrolet S10 was presented to the public. Although the pickup truck is not a new generation, the model has received a series of design updates and more features, after all, the competition in the segment is fierce.

The S10 has a generation of fans, and it was with them in mind that the experts at Senhor Carros bring you firsthand information on all the changes the brand made to the pickup truck. 

Want to know what's new in the 2021 Chevrolet S10? Just keep reading today's article. 

The main visible change in the 2021 Chevrolet S10 is the restyling of the pickup truck's front end. 

Following some "ideas" from the competition, the new S10 has a look very similar to that of the Silverado, especially in its High Country version which sports a black horizontal bar on the front grille with the name "Chevrolet" embossed on it. 

In addition to a visual update, the 2021 Chevrolet S10 has also improved in terms of safety. 

Now, all versions of the pickup truck come standard with 6 airbags, following the competitor Frontier, but still behind the L200 Triton. Hilux The Ranger already had seven airbags, ahead of the Amarok, which only has dual front airbags. 

Starting with the LTZ trim level, the new S10 offers forward collision alert with autonomous emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning. Features not found in most competitors. 

Here, the 2021 Chevrolet S10 has a significant advantage over the competition. 

Although pickup trucks While competitors offer multimedia systems, only the S10 features the OnStar concierge and telematics service. 

Another very advantageous feature is 4G internet with Wi-Fi connectivity for up to seven devices. This technology is also present in other models of the brand, such as the Onix and the Tracker. 

Here we have perhaps the worst aspect of the 2021 Chevrolet S10, after all, the manufacturer made no changes to the pickup truck's engine. 

Thus, the 2.5 flex-fuel inline engine remains, which is the most powerful in its category, capable of generating 206 horsepower when fueled with ethanol and 197 horsepower with gasoline, with options for a six-speed manual or automatic transmission and 4x2 and 4x4 drive.

The 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine with 200 horsepower is also still available, but it has gained a new turbocharger. The change aims to reduce a chronic problem: turbo lag. 

The new feature here is the return of the manual transmission option in the LS 4x4 version. The problem is that, lacking a more powerful diesel engine, the 2021 S10 still lags behind models like the Hilux and Amarok, which have about 30 more horsepower. 

The 2021 Chevrolet S10 comes in the following versions: 

Let's talk about each of them. 

This entry-level model features 6 airbags, traction and stability control, tire pressure monitoring system, hill descent control, air conditioning, power windows and locks, fog lights, and headlight height adjustment.

The Chevrolet S10 LT starts at R$ 141,990 for the 2.5 flex version and R$ 187,590 for the 2.8 turbo diesel engine.

The prices for the S10 LTZ range from R$146,790 to R$156,690 for the 2.5 AT versions with 4x2 and 4x4 drive respectively, and cost R$206,190 for the 2.8 turbo diesel 4x4 AT version.

And finally, we have the top-of-the-line version, which includes all the features of the LTZ version, plus an exclusive front bumper and roll bar, polished aluminum interior trim, and 18-inch alloy wheels with an equally exclusive design. 

As expected, the version is pricey and starts at R$ 213.290.

The 2021 Chevrolet S10 is sure to turn heads wherever it goes, both for its new look and its size. The pickup truck has the following dimensions. 

Regarding fuel consumption, the figures for the 2021 S10 are:

Chevrolet has already announced that the changes made to the S10 will also be applied to the TrailBlazer, an SUV derived from the pickup truck. 

The SUV will continue to be sold only in the premier version, equipped with a 2.8 turbo diesel engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission with 4x4 drive.

The car will feature the same package of items found in the High Country version of the pickup truck and an exclusive front bumper. It is estimated that the 2021 TrailBlazer will be priced close to R$ 270 thousand. 

Although it has undergone a visual redesign and received more safety features, the Chevrolet S10's engine may be a stumbling block, as it is weaker than some of its competitors. 

Furthermore, automakers such RenaultPeugeot and Hyundai have already announced the launch of pickup trucks for next year, which should make the pickup truck market even more competitive. 

Therefore, it's safe to conclude that the 2021 S1 won't have an easy time beating the competition.
