    “When you say Chafar, you're not just referring to a Chevrolet vehicle; you're speaking to a legacy that runs deep across this region,” said Furrukh Jawaid, Chief Marketing Officer at General Motors Africa and Middle East. The Silverado Chafar Edition stands as a bold symbol of Chevrolet’s long-standing connection with the Middle East.

    Exclusive Chafar Design Details

    • Unique Chafar badging on grille, tailgate, and interior.
    • Chrome moldings and hood applique for a premium look.
    • Heritage-inspired tailgate lettering and sculpted decals.
    • Door sill plates and puddle lamps with the Chafar emblem.
    • Refined cabin with modern tech and custom finishes.

    V8 Performance with Modern Tech Inside

    Built on the Silverado LT trim, the Chafar Edition retains the muscle expected of a true American truck. Under the hood, a powerful 5.3L V8 engine produces 355 horsepower and 583 Nm of torque, making it ready for towing, off-roading, or highway cruising.

    Inside the cabin, Chevrolet balances comfort with smart features. A 12.3-inch Driver Information Center gives the driver all vital data, while the 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen supports full smartphone integration. The truck also comes equipped with OnStar connectivity, offering 24/7 safety, remote diagnostics, and emergency services—ideal for both city drives and remote adventures.
