Design
A bold new exterior design lets everyone know that the 2021 Chevy Colorado means business; its fully-boxed frame providing exceptional durability to go along with its athletic looks. Available on certain trims, the CornerStep rear bumper provides added utility to a truck already brimming with it, thanks to a truck bed featuring corner hand grips and up to 17 tie-downs so you can keep your cargo safe and secure. Inside, the ultra-quiet cabin of the Colorado is loaded with premium features and serious storage options, while leather is available on everything from the heated steering wheel to the heated front seats. Add in a Bose® sound system for good measure, and you’ve got a truck that doesn’t skip on any of the necessities—or any of the niceties, either.

Performance
A choice of three engines lets you tailor your 2021 Colorado to your needs. Efficient and unassuming, the base 2.5-litre 4-cylinder does a little bit of everything, and does it well, with 200 horsepower and a low estimated fuel efficiency rate of just 12.2 L/100 km in the city. Next up, a 3.6-litre V6 offers up a best-in-class 308 horsepower, along with a hearty 275 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.8-litre Duramax Turbo-Diesel gives you serious towing efficiency thanks to a heavy-duty 369 lb-ft of torque: nice. A few trim levels provide the 2021 Colorado with serious off-road chops, from the segment-exclusive Multimatic™ shocks found in the Colorado ZR2, to the hot-stamped boron steel skid plates and American Expedition Vehicles-designed wheel flares, front winch provisions, and rear recovery points of the ZR2 Bison.

Safety & Technology
Of course, just like every other Chevy truck the 2021 Colorado features a wealth of advanced technology like the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System with available wireless charging and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The multitude of safety features like a high-strength steel frame, host of airbags, reinforced safety cage, and StabiliTrak with Traction Control ensures confidence on the road, while advanced driver assistance features like the standard Rear Vision Camera or available Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning make every trip a breeze.
Chevrolet Colorado Model Changes
Aggressive styling updates headline the list of changes from the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado to the 2021 version. This is most obvious on the ZR2 which now features a taller, narrower grille, more ground clearance, and an Off-Road Appearance Package including red tow hooks. That same appearance package is also host to a new Sand Dune metallic paint option, and can be applied to the Z71 trim as well. All the models feature updated front fascias, as well as new badging than the 2020 Colorado.
