General Motors has unveiled a completely redesigned in-vehicle interface that will debut in the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado and 2027 GMC Sierra light-duty pickups.

The new system is designed to make commonly used features easier to find while bringing navigation, trailering information, entertainment, camera views, and vehicle settings together in a cleaner layout. GM says the platform will eventually expand across its broader lineup of gasoline, diesel, and electric vehicles.

One of the biggest changes is a redesigned split-view home screen. Drivers can keep a large, interactive map visible while simultaneously viewing media, fuel-economy information, trailering data, or other vehicle details. The digital gauge cluster will also change based on the task at hand, with specialized layouts for trailering, off-roading, and available Super Cruise operation.

Other notable features include:

High-contrast displays with deeper blacks, richer colors, and sharper graphics
Customizable quick-access controls for frequently used apps and vehicle functions
One-button activation for Adaptive Cruise Control and available Super Cruise
A new 3D Super Cruise visualization showing nearby traffic, lanes, and road objects
Incoming calls and messages that no longer take over the entire display
Underbody camera views and easily accessible off-road information
Mobile trailer-light testing through the GM smartphone app
Google Maps, Google Gemini, Google Play apps, and additional services powered by OnStar
Entertainment options for the available front-passenger display

Perhaps most importantly for many truck owners, GM confirmed that the redesigned system will continue to support both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Smartphone content can appear in a large window alongside native GM features, allowing drivers to keep navigation or entertainment visible without completely leaving the truck’s built-in interface.

GM also says it has retained key physical controls for drivers who prefer buttons and switches over touchscreen menus.

Because the interface is built on a software-defined platform, GM plans to continue adding features and improvements through future updates. Exact equipment and feature availability will likely depend on trim level and configuration.

What do you think of GM’s new interface? Are the split-screen layout and improved truck-specific features a welcome upgrade, or would you prefer fewer screens and more physical controls?
