The Chevy Colorado has been a favorite among midsize truck buyers, offering impressive capability and features in a maneuverable package. For 2026, the Colorado gets a refresh that brings updated styling, new features, and even more reasons to choose this versatile pickup. Here's a look at what's new in the 2026 Chevy Colorado compared to the outgoing 2025 model.
New Exterior and Interior Design
The 2026 Chevy Colorado sports refreshed exterior styling that gives it a bold, rugged look. A redesigned front fascia, grille, and headlights provide a more aggressive stance, while new wheel designs range from 17 to 20 inches, depending on trim. LED lighting is now standard on most trims for improved visibility.
Inside, the 2026 Colorado features an updated interior with higher-quality materials and new technology. An 11.3-inch diagonal color touchscreen is now standard, offering a user-friendly interface and connectivity features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The layout puts controls within easy reach of the driver.
Capable Power
You'll still find A 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine comes standard on all 2026 Colorado trims. It puts out an impressive 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, providing plenty of power for towing and hauling. The turbo engine is paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission for optimal performance and efficiency.
When properly equipped, the 2026 Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds, making it ideal for weekend adventures around Canton or Kent. Available trailer technologies like Hitch Guidance and an integrated trailer brake controller provide added confidence when towing.
Safety and Driver Assist Features
The 2026 Colorado offers a suite of advanced driver assist and active safety features to provide added peace of mind on the road. Standard equipment includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. Available blindspot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control enhance safety in various driving situations around Massillon.
Trims and Configurations
The 2026 Chevy Colorado is available in multiple trims to suit different needs and preferences. The base WT is a no-frills work truck, while the LT adds comfort and convenience features. For a more distinctive look, the Trail Boss comes with off-road-inspired styling cues. Cuyahoga Falls drivers looking for a truck that can handle any terrain will appreciate the Z71 with its off-road suspension and skid plates.
At the top of the lineup is the ZR2, a dedicated off-road machine with serious hardware like Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear locking differentials, and 33-inch all-terrain tires. A new Desert Boss package for the ZR2 equips it for high-speed running over sand dunes and desert trails.
