2024 Chevrolet Colorado Review, Specs, Price and Mileage (Brochure)

Few things are more American than a pickup truck, and the mid-size Chevrolet Colorado is one of the sweetest. Constructed to operate with unwavering dependability, the Colorado’s chassis and array of features enable even the most audacious off-road stunts. The only powertrain available for all Colorados is a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Other trims, such as the off-road-focused ZR2, receive 310 horsepower from the same motor, while the base WT and LT models get 237 horsepower. Depending on the trim level, all Colorados have a five-foot bed and a four-door cab. Rear- or four-wheel drive are available as options. The Colorado has a maximum towing capability of 7700 pounds, which makes it easy to tow boats, snowmobiles, and campers. For a year, the Colorado was the newest truck on the block, but now that the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma have entered the market, the Colorado confronts serious competition.

Engine

Chevy’s turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four engine, whose output varies depending on the trim level, powers every Colorado. All Colorados have an eight-speed automatic transmission. The WT and LT variants have 237 horsepower as standard. That is significantly more power than the standard Toyota Tacoma’s 159-hp four-cylinder. The Z71, Trail Boss, and ZR2 versions, which come loaded with more power and torque than the V-6 powertrains featured in the Jeep Gladiator, Ridgeline, and Tacoma, are powered by the same turbo 2.7-liter engine that produces 310 horsepower. Additionally, it can be added as an optional feature to WT and LT trims. The reason those figures seem familiar is that the engine is the same as the one found in Chevy’s full-size Silverado 1500. The previous Colorado was only available with the V-6 and Duramax Diesel engines. The new Colorado still has a solid back axle with leaf spring suspension and an independent front suspension. The rear DSSVs are now placed to the outside of the frame on the ZR2, while the large Mutlimatic DSSV dampers are installed up front. The Z71 and WT trucks have a limited-slip rear differential, while the LT and WT trucks have an open differential. The off-road ZR2 is the sole truck having power-locking front and rear diffs. The ZR2 Bison, equipped with the widest 35-inch tires in the mid-size pickup class, is the most rugged off-road Colorado. With a ground clearance of 12.2 inches, the Bison boasts superior breakover and departure angles to help it navigate difficult terrain. Its hydraulic front and rear bump stops also provide a softer landing after jumps. Yes, we did say “jumps.”

Fuel Efficiency and Actual MPG

For models with rear-wheel drive, the Colorado achieves its greatest EPA fuel economy rating of 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Four-wheel drive Colorados scored an estimated 19 city and 23 highway mpg according to the EPA. These ratings decrease to 17 mpg and 19 mpg, respectively, for ZR2 off-road vehicles. We can assess its actual mpg when we get a chance to test one on our 75 mph highway fuel-economy route, which is a part of our rigorous testing program.

Interior Dimensions

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

The interior design of the Colorado of the latest generation is very impressive. Every Colorado has a crew cab with four doors. The cupholders are now right in front of the center console rather than nestled opposite the gear selector, and there’s a new center console inside. The shifter is also moved closer to the passenger side of the cab. The redesigned look is finished with a new infotainment screen, steering wheel, and instrument cluster. In comparison to the previous Colorado, headroom has generally decreased by an inch, although shoulder and legroom have remained mostly unchanged. ZR2 versions adopt a feature from the Honda Ridgeline handbook, adding a shallow 45-inch-wide lockable storage compartment to the tailgate as standard.

The Colorado may be outfitted with Google Built-In, a subscription service that allows you to customize music, navigation, and other car features using your Google account. Apple CarPlay and wifi Android Auto are included in every Colorado.
