KEY FEATURES

2.7 Turbomax

All 2026 Colorados are powered by a turbocharged 2.7L TurboMax (L3B) inline four-cylinder engine producing 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque, with a maximum trailering capacity of 7,700 lbs. This represents an 18% increase in horsepower and a 36% increase in torque over the previous base engine.

Performance and durability are enhanced through a more rigid cylinder block, a 30% stiffer crankshaft, and a fully forged bottom end. The inline-four layout allows optimal turbo placement, while the integrated exhaust manifold and dual-volute turbo improve throttle response and boost performance.

Suspension

The latest Multimatic DSSV shocks (standard
on ZR2 only) offer robust performance by
offering control and comfort on-road, and robust
performance for extended off-road adventures.

  • 2nd-row Fold-Flat Seats for extra cargo space

  • Available 2nd-row Power-Release Fold-and-Tumble Bucket Seats for easy reconfiguration

  • 2nd-row Slide for simpler entry and exit to the 2nd and 3rd rows

  • Available 3rd-row Power Fold-Flat Seats with wide rear opening and load floor for cargo

CONNECTIVITY

Bluetooth streaming audio is standard, along with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto for compatible phones. Available Google built-in offers a more personalized in-vehicle experience, while an available built-in Wi-Fi® Hotspot (data plan required) and OnStar Basics with up to 8 years of core services help keep you connected on the go.

The suspension system uses three lateral arms, a large longitudinal arm, coil springs, and a robust stabilizer bar to deliver a refined, well-isolated ride scaled for full-size SUV capability. Available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control further enhance comfort and body control by adjusting ride height and suspension response to changing road conditions.

BED & TAILGATE

The Colorado bed is designed for maximum versatility, featuring 8 standard fixed tie-downs and up to a best-in-class 17 available tie-downs to help keep gear secure. Tri-level bed functionality is enabled through integrated 2×6 and 2×8 pockets, while stake pockets allow customers to mount accessories, secure DIY equipment, or add an extra storage level using horizontal planks.

The available class-exclusive StowFlex tailgate adds a lockable storage compartment built directly into the tailgate, complete with a drain so it can double as a cooler and an integrated measurement tool. The tailgate also supports a mid-position rated at 500 lbs, creating a flat, slightly tapered incline into the bed to help prevent cargo from sliding out.
