What SUV Compares to the 2025 Chevy Trax?

Choosing an engine is one of the biggest decisions you will make when building a new truck, and the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 engine options give you more to think about than ever. Chevrolet now offers four engines, including two all-new small-block V8s, an enhanced 2.7L TurboMax, and the returning Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel. Every one of them is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Reserve Today What’s New Under the Hood for 2027 The headline change for 2027 is the arrival of GM’s sixth-generation small-block V8s. A new 5.7L V8 replaces the outgoing 5.3L, and a new 6.6L V8 replaces the 6.2L. Both make significantly more power than the engines they replace. The 5.7L jumps from 355 hp to 402 hp, while the 6.6L climbs from 420 hp to 481 hp. Both new V8s use a combination of direct and port fuel injection, along with higher compression ratios, larger throttle bodies, and revised intake manifolds. They also keep Dynamic Fuel Management, GM’s cylinder deactivation system that shuts down cylinders under light loads like steady highway cruising. Meanwhile, the 2.7L TurboMax has been enhanced and is now paired with the 10-speed automatic. Engine Horsepower Torque Max Towing Max Payload 2.7L TurboMax 350 hp 455 lb-ft 9,400 lbs 2,340 lbs 5.7L V8 402 hp 428 lb-ft 13,700 lbs 2,170 lbs 6.6L V8 481 hp 501 lb-ft 9,700 lbs 1,510 lbs Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel 305 hp 495 lb-ft 12,000 lbs 1,870 lbs Maximum ratings require specific configurations. See each engine below for details. 2.7L TurboMax The 2.7L TurboMax is the standard engine on most of the lineup, and it is far more capable than its size suggests. This turbocharged four-cylinder delivers what Chevrolet calls best-in-class standard torque, and it also carries the highest maximum payload rating of any 2027 Silverado 1500 engine. Horsepower 350 hp at 5,200 rpm Torque 455 lb-ft at 3,000 rpm Transmission 10-speed automatic Axle Ratio 3.42 Max Towing 9,400 lbs Regular Cab Long Bed 2WD Max Payload 2,340 lbs Regular Cab Standard Bed 2WD The TurboMax uses dual overhead cams with four valves per cylinder, continuously variable valve timing, variable valve lift, direct injection, and Active Fuel Management. Its aluminum block uses cast iron cylinder liners for durability. With peak torque arriving at just 3,000 rpm, it feels strong around town and when merging onto the highway. It is a smart fit for drivers who haul gear in the bed more often than they pull a heavy trailer. 5.7L V8 The new 5.7L V8 is the towing champion of the 2027 lineup. When properly equipped, it can pull up to 13,700 lbs, the highest rating of any engine offered in the 2027 Silverado 1500. It also delivers the classic V8 sound and smooth power delivery that many truck buyers still prefer. Horsepower 402 hp at 5,500 rpm Torque 428 lb-ft at 4,300 rpm Transmission 10-speed automatic Axle Ratio 3.23 Max Towing 13,700 lbs Double Cab Standard Bed 2WD with Max Trailering Package Max Payload 2,170 lbs Regular Cab Long Bed 2WD This engine uses a traditional overhead valve design with two valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, and dual direct and port injection. The block is cast aluminum with cast iron liners. Compared to the 5.3L it replaces, the 5.7L adds 47 hp and 45 lb-ft of torque, which you will notice most when pulling a camper or loaded equipment trailer. 6.6L V8 The 6.6L V8 is the most powerful engine in the 2027 Silverado 1500 lineup. Chevrolet rates it as the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in its class, based on GM estimates. It is reserved for the top trims and requires four-wheel drive. Horsepower 481 hp at 5,800 rpm Torque 501 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm Bore and Stroke 4.06 in x 3.86 in Transmission 10-speed automatic Axle Ratio 3.23 Max Towing 9,700 lbs Crew Cab Short or Standard Bed 4WD Max Payload 1,510 lbs Crew Cab Short Bed ZR2 4WD Like the 5.7L, the 6.6L uses an overhead valve layout, variable valve timing, dual direct and port injection, and an aluminum block with cast iron liners. Because it is only offered on 4WD High Country and ZR2 models, its tow and payload ratings are lower than the 5.7L’s. Choose this engine for acceleration and passing power, not maximum towing. Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel The Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel returns for 2027, and it remains the choice for drivers who rack up highway miles or tow regularly. This inline-six produces nearly as much torque as the 6.6L V8, and it makes that torque far lower in the rev range. Horsepower 305 hp at 3,750 rpm Torque 495 lb-ft at 2,750 rpm Transmission 10-speed automatic Axle Ratio 3.23 Max Towing 12,000 lbs Crew Cab Short Bed 4WD with Max Trailering Package Max Payload 1,870 lbs Crew Cab Short Bed 2WD Fuel Economy 27 mpg highway GM-estimated, 2WD The Duramax features dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, direct injection, and an aluminum block with cast iron liners. Paired with the available 34-gallon fuel tank, Chevrolet estimates more than 900 miles of highway range. That makes it a strong option for long road trips or towing a travel trailer without frequent fuel stops.

The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X engine combines traditional internal combustion power with advanced electric drive technology. Chevrolet pairs an all-new naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 with a front-axle electric motor to create a high-performance hybrid powertrain. Drivers can expect outstanding output, precise power delivery, and standard electric all-wheel drive from this modern setup. Next-Generation 6.7L LS6 V8 Engine Specifications At the center of the powertrain is the naturally aspirated 6.7L LS6 V8 engine. This Small Block engine features a 100 mm stroke and a 13.0:1 compression ratio, which is the highest ever offered in a production Corvette V8. The gas engine alone generates 535 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. To maintain peak reliability during spirited driving, Chevrolet equipped the LS6 with a new continuously variable oil pump. This system ensures optimal oil pressure across all operating conditions and engine speeds. Power from the V8 engine is routed through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission for rapid gear shifts. Electric Drive Unit and eAWD System The Grand Sport X enhances rear-wheel V8 power with a front-mounted electric drive unit. A 1.9 kWh lithium-ion battery powers this front motor, supplying an additional 186 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque directly to the front axle. Together, the gas engine and electric motor deliver a total combined output of 721 horsepower. This eAWD system provides instant acceleration off the line and enhanced cornering traction. The added front-wheel torque allows the sports car to launch from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds. Powertrain Overview Specification Output / Feature Powertrain Type 6.7L LS6 V8 with Front Electric Drive Unit Gas Engine Output 535 hp / 520 lb-ft torque Electric Motor Output 186 hp / 145 lb-ft torque Total Combined Output 721 hp / 665 lb-ft torque Transmission 8-speed dual-clutch automatic 0–60 mph Acceleration 2.4 seconds* *0–60 mph acceleration time based on initial vehicle movement on a closed course with available equipment. Real-World Utility and Performance Advantages The hybrid powertrain setup offers meaningful advantages for both track enthusiasts and everyday drivers. Electric assist provides immediate torque low in the rev range, filling in power gaps before the V8 reaches peak RPM. The eAWD system also increases driving confidence in varying road conditions. Drivers get the visceral sound and feel of a classic naturally aspirated V8 paired with the control and response of modern electric propulsion.
