The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Regular Cab will mostly have the same interior design as the 2021 model for the base trim, but we can expect few updates like overhauled center console and dash. Also, the old column shifter will be replaced by a new gear selector. Some standard features like a power driver seat, leather upholstery, power mirror, and cruise control will be carried over to the 2022 Regular Cab base model. Features such as rear-window defogger, power windows, deep-tinted glass, and hitch guidance, which were optional features in value-added packages, can come as standard features in the 2022 version.
For a work truck, the Sierra 1500 Regular Cab will have a perfectly balanced cabin that is mostly made of hard plastic to give all of the interiors good durability, whereas a soft-plastic piece is equipped around the infotainment screen. One major similarity within all the trims is the dashboard layout which is made to look just as rugged as the truck appears from outside. The seating surfaces are covered in a good-quality fabric that provides good support and seems built to last. The center console has cup-holders, few open pockets, and a closed storage bin that folds up to make space for another member in the cabin.
