2023 Chevrolet Colorado

Whats New for 2023

All-New Design: Both the exterior and interior have been redesigned with this latest addition to the Colorado nameplate. Along with the tough and rugged new exteriors available across the different trims, customers will have the choice of four unique interior designs. The Colorado is now a bigger, bolder, and more athletic mid size truck.

Powerful New 2.7L Turbo Engine: The new 2.7L engine has been proven in the new Silverado and adapted to the Colorado's mid size frame. It powers all five trims with three variants that exceed the previous generation.

• 2.7L Turbo that outputs 237hp, 259 lb-ft of torque, and offers a max trailering capacity of 3,500 lbs. This is standard on the WT and LT.
• 2.7L Turbo Plus that outputs 310hp, 390 lb-ft of torque, and offers a max trailering capacity of 7,700 lbs. This is standard on the Z71 and Trail Boss.
• 2.7L Turbo High-Output that outputs 310hp, 430 lb-ft of torque, and offers a max trailering capacity of 7,700 lbs (6,000 lbs on ZR2). This is standard on the ZR2.

Enhanced Performance: The new Colorados come with three distinct chassis to better support both on-road, and off-road activities.

• Standard: WT, LT and Z71 trims
• 2-inch Factory-Lifted, Ultra-Wide Stance: Trail Boss
• High-Performance 3-inch Factory-Installed Lift & Wide Stance: ZR2

“The new Colorado is a lifestyle enabler,” said Nicholas Katcherian, vehicle chief engineer. “Because outdoor activities are a big part of our Colorado customers’ lifestyles, we’ve made the truck even more capable to support them — from increased bed functionality to comprehensive performance enhancements that help take them farther.”

Selectable Drive Modes: To further support the enhanced off road capabilities of the Colorado, Chevy has added five selectable drive modes. These are tailored for different driving conditions and will help streamline performance across a wide variety of driving conditions. The drive modes are controlled via a selector knob in the center console.

• Normal: A balanced mode for everyday on-road driving
• Tow/Haul: Transmission shift points, throttle response and additional calibrations optimized for trailering and hauling
• Off-Road: Specific tractive and other dynamic performance features designed for general off-pavement driving
• Terrain: Designed for low-speed rock crawling, with specific throttle control, brake performance and other calibrations, with three settings
• Baja: Developed for high-speed desert running, with specific throttle control, transmission shifting and other body/drivetrain control calibrations

Enhanced Driver Awareness Technologies: The standard Chevy Safety Assist package includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator and IntelliBeam® automatic high-beam assist.

Available features for all models include Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, HD Surround Vision and Rear Pedestrian Alert.
