Exterior and Interior
The 2024 Chevy Colorado is set to make a bold statement on the road. With its large 32-inch all-terrain tires, large fender flares, and aggressive front grille, you would be ready to tackle any terrain with this truck. While maintaining its rugged and adventurous appeal, the new Colorado will showcase its sporty hood scoop, striking LED headlights, and aerodynamic contours that not only enhance its aesthetics but also improve its efficiency.
Even though the new Colorado comes with a four-door crew cab with a short bed (61.7 inches), you can still enjoy features like StowFlex tailgate, 8 tie-downs, mid-position capability, and built-in measuring tool. Whether you're cruising through urban streets or conquering off-road terrain, the Colorado's commanding presence will turn heads at every corner.
As for the interior, it likely comes with a modern feel. With a new design to adjust the center console, gear shift, and steering wheel to be more driver-centric, you get a practical feel as you take the wheel. While each trim has its different seat materials, the most popular trims (Trail Boss, Z71, Z72, and Z72 Bison) should come with red and black accents meant to catch your eye while on the road. Now some experts say the new Colorado will be a little smaller than its predecessor, but you should still have plenty of room for your needs.
Tech and Safety
As for technology, the new 2024 Colorado will likely come standard with an 11.3-inch touchscreen with the option to get a good-sized digital information center. The infotainment system should be compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto while the system can run on a Google-based software that controls the navigation, music, assistance features, and so on. The new Colorado should come with a wireless charging pad and USB ports so your devices can be charged while on the road.
As for safety, the new Colorado should come with an advanced driver-assistance system. Features for this system should include forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure assist, and automated emergency braking with available features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear-cross traffic alert. Whatever features you decide to go with, you will elevate your safety and give yourself peace of mind during every journey.
Performance and Capability
The 2024 Chevy Colorado is expected to offer the same standard engine but with a couple of tuning options:
- 2.7-liter turbo V4 with 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque (Standard)
- 2.7-liter turbo V4 with 310 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque (Turbo Plus)
- 2.7-liter turbo V4 with 310 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque (High Output)
Though the official fuel economy hasn’t been released, the 2024 Colorado should have 20/25 mpg in RWD or 19/23 mpg in 4WD, which is the fuel economy of the 2023 model. For a mid size truck, this is a great fuel economy. No diesel version will be available with this new model, but you will still get great fuel economy, awesome power, and high torque with an impressive V4 engine.
As for towing, the max capacity is projected to be 7,000 pounds if you have a Turbo Plus engine, but it is a couple thousand pounds less if you have a High Output engine. Similarly, the max payload is expected to hit about 1,684 pounds, but it can change depending on engine type. Nevertheless, you should expect to find an engine option that works best for your situation.
ZR2 Bison
The most anticipated reveal for the 2024 Chevy Colorado is the ZR2 Bison, which is the off-road model. With a 2.7-liter turbocharged V4 with a High Output tune up, you should expect to have a powerful 310 horsepower with 420 lb-ft of torque. To match this powerful engine, you are supposed to get 12.2 inches of ground clearance, 35-inch all-terrain tires, and 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels.
As you cross different terrains, the ZR2 Bison should also come with Multimatic front and rear dampers, locking front and rear differentials, fender flares, rear bumper, heavy-duty winch-ready front bumper, race-inspired spare tire rack, spray-on bedliner. If you are someone who likes an adrenaline-induced off-road adventure, the ZR2 Bison is the trim for you.
Price
Though official MSRPs have not been released, the estimated MSRP range, according to experts, will be about $31,000–$63,000. These prices will change based on the trim, engine option, and any other upgrades you decide to add to your 2024 Chevy Colorado.
