What Changed

A six speed automatic becomes standard equipment on the 5.3L and 6.0L models. LTZ models add heated and cooled seats and new trim pieces for visual differentiation. OnStar 8.0 and Bluetooth are also new. A new 5.3L XFE model aims to improve the fuel efficiency. The XFE model features a lowered suspension to improve aerodynamics, while aluminum lower control arms and wheels reduce mass. Low rolling resistance tires are also equipped. As a result, fuel efficiency increases by 1 MPG.
