Orange Chevrolet Colorado zooming down a city street.The adventure-ready midsize 2021 Chevrolet Colorado is the ideal pickup truck for those who need a vehicle that can work just as hard as it can play. With the 2021 model year, you’ll get an abundance of features that make this truck both powerful and comfortable. Let’s explore some of the best features on the latest version of the capable Chevrolet Colorado.

Exciting Trims 

Choosing the perfect Colorado pickup will be easy, thanks to the variety of options available to you on the four trim levels. To start the lineup, you have the WT. This base model is followed by higher trims with more features: LT, Z71, and ZR2. On the base trim, you get features such as 17-inch steel wheels, black trim elements, and the CornerStep rear bumper. Moving to a higher trim will add more standard features, such as a spray-on bedliner, fog lamps, an EZ-lift power tailgate, chrome trim elements, and heated power outside mirrors.

Engine

Under the hood of the 2021 Colorado, you can get one of three engines, depending on whether you want gas or diesel power. Standard is the 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine that puts out 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. The optional gas-powered engine is a 3.6-liter V-6 that generates up to 308 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. If you prefer diesel power, you can get the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo diesel block that pumps out 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. These engines will come mated to either a six-speed or an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Powerful Performance

This capable pickup can get you where you want to go and help you tackle a number of tasks both big and small. If you want to take your truck on off-roading adventures, get a model equipped with features such as a two-speed transfer case, an automatic locking rear differential, and black recovery hooks. Other performance-enhancing features include front skid plates, an air intake system, an off-road suspension package, and lots more.

Sleek Interior

Once you get behind the wheel of the latest Colorado, you won’t want to drive anything else. It offers comforts such as vinyl, cloth, and leather seat trim, as well as a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and automatic climate control in higher trims. Technology features that enable you to stay connected on the road include the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with an 8-inch touch screen and navigation, USB ports, and a Wi-Fi hot spot.

Safety Features

Every trim is equipped with a rearview backup camera, but you can add more safety features to give you additional peace of mind when you’re on the road. Lane-departure warning, forward collision alert, and rear park assist will all help you stay alert as you travel. In the event you are in an accident, six air bags placed throughout the cabin will cushion you upon impact. Parents appreciate Teen Driver, a system that lets you set limits to elements such as speed and stereo volume to ensure your teen is making safe decisions behind the wheel.
