About the 2025 Chevy Colorado
Some vehicles are designed for transportation. Others are designed to cultivate a lifestyle. There’s no question that lifestyle vehicles are much more fun. Now, when it comes to lifestyle vehicles, there are very few auto classes as sought-after as a pickup truck. With their engineering and capabilities geared toward work, recreation, and everything in-between, the truck sector is one of the most versatile and flexible, while offering a signature style that simply can’t be beat.
However, full-size pickup trucks are not always the best option for everyone. The 2025 Chevy Colorado is a midsize option that provides stellar performance, functionality, and technology, making it perfectly suited to weekend DIY projects on your property, off-roading on all kinds of terrains, or a quick trip to the grocery store. The Colorado is a midsize pickup truck with a full-size heart, and we think you’ll be amazed at what it offers. Let’s take a closer look at the Colorado, breaking it down by those three criteria: performance, functionality, and technology.
MSRP: $31,900 [a]
Horsepower: 310
Torque: 430 lb-ft
Towing: 7,700 lbs
Performance
Pickup trucks are made to perform. That’s one of this auto class’s main points of differentiation from others; trucks are designed to do what other vehicles cannot. Chevy has always been keenly aware that a truck’s performance needs to stand out above the rest, as proven by its midsize champion, the 2025 Colorado. This model surpasses other midsize trucks’ ability by leaps and bounds, making it a true one-of-a-kind pickup.
If there’s one thing that General Motors does well, it’s engineering. The 2025 Chevy Colorado is one of the main beneficiaries of GM’s skill, which in turn means the driver is the true beneficiary. The 2025 Colorado houses a 2.7-liter TurboMax turbocharged I-4 engine. This four-cylinder engine has become a fan favorite over the past several model years, as it makes the Colorado a highly capable truck with up to 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. Those aren’t specs you’re likely to find in just any midsize pickup truck, and it means that you’ll experience both the thrills and practical benefits of this performance proficiency.
As for its capabilities, the 2025 Colorado can tow up to 7,700 lbs and haul up to 1,684 lbs of cargo in its bed box. Pause for a moment and reconsider the fact that we’re talking about a midsize pickup truck, not a full-size one. A payload capacity of 1,684 lbs is not easy to find in a midsize model, so we already know we’re talking about an extraordinary truck. Now, we could talk about numbers all day, but the truth is that the Colorado’s greatest performance feat lies not in its numbers, but in that which exceeds quantification: off-roading.
The Colorado’s midsize body is perfectly-suited to trailblazing, and the 2025 Colorado offers three great off-roading trims in the Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2, all of which offer their own unique hardware and handling features. While all of these trims can handle traditional terrains, the ZR2 has the exclusive privilege of providing Baja mode, designed specifically for desert racing. Regardless of whether or not you have plans of hitting the sand, the Colorado offers you unique and excellent capability no matter how you cut it. The 2025 Chevy Colorado is not your average midsize truck. If you’re looking for a model that offers everything a full-size truck can while still fitting in your garage, you need not look any further.
Functionality
A pickup truck is more than a “vehicle.” Sure, it provides you with day-to-day transportation, but that’s the least of its offerings. A pickup truck is designed to be a hub for functionality, whether that’s in a work setting or a recreational setting. Any good truck offers tactically practical solutions, making it easy to load, unload, use tools, work, or play. The 2025 Chevy Colorado knows this better than any other midsize truck. It knows it, so well, in fact, that it has earned the status of having the best bed and tailgate utility in its class, which is a key point of a pickup truck.
The 2025 Colorado has crafted a bed for more than just storing cargo; it’s made to make things happen. With the tailgate being the first point of access to the bed, the Colorado goes out of its way to make a great first impression before you even access the bed. The mid-position tailgate supports up to 500 lbs in and of itself. That’s a significant amount! If you’re trying to load a heavy piece of equipment into the bed and need to rest the item to reposition or take a break, the tailgate can take the brunt of the weight until you’re ready to move it further in. You’ll also likely get great use out of the tailgate’s built-in measuring strip, which eliminates your need to carry measurement tools on hand. Once you’ve entered the cargo bed, you’ll see all kinds of tactical components to help make your life easier.
The first thing you’re likely to notice is that there are seventeen tie-downs spread throughout the bed. We don’t want your cargo shifting around any more than you do, and with seventeen places to help anchor it, you’ll have no problem keeping everything in place. If you’re using power tools, need to plug in an electric grill, or use anything that requires electricity, the bed’s 120-volt power outlet will come in handy, providing you with the power you need to make things happen. Plus, if you’re out after sunset, the cargo bed’s lighting will provide illumination, allowing you to keep going as long as you need. Transportation is the least of the 2025 Colorado’s offerings. With so much functionality, you’re not just getting a car; you’re getting a hub to make your work and play more effective.
Technology
We may not always realize it, but technology is what makes or breaks a vehicle; technology is what ties the whole of the driving experience together in a cohesive manner, making driving joyful and easy. Technology is not just about the size of the touchscreen, but about the way the vehicle makes a seamless driving experience, balancing connectivity, entertainment, safety, and the actual driving itself. Chevy is known as one of the leading brands in terms of vehicle tech, and the 2025 Colorado is the perfect showcase of what it has to offer.
The 2025 Colorado keeps drivers and passengers well-connected and entertained with an 11.3-inch touchscreen as a standard feature. While the touchscreen offers some features of its own, the most exciting aspect is the way the screen is brought to life with tools of your choosing. The 2025 Colorado has Google Built-In, giving you real-time, advanced access to navigation, searches, and other apps, just as you would on any other Google-powered device. If you prefer to use your smartphone as the tech hub for your drive, you can easily connect via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, syncing your device to the infotainment screen and giving you easy access to calls, messages, apps, and media.
As a great truck, the Colorado is designed to do more and be more. That’s why it offers ten available camera views. Who knows what you may do from day to day, be it towing, off-roading, or a major project. Regardless, you’ll want to know what’s going on around you, and these camera views will certainly help you with that visibility. Most notably, the 2025 Colorado offers segment-first available underbody cameras, making it especially innovative. You’ll be able to make the most of your ground clearance by monitoring what’s underneath you, which can be especially helpful when off-roading or hitching up to a trailer.
Of course, a Chevy vehicle would be nothing without fantastic safety technology, and the 2025 Colorado is equipped with the Chevy Safety Assist suite, providing you with excellent driver assistance features to keep you safe at every step. You’ll have features like Automatic Emergency Braking and Following Distance Indicator. The Colorado is an incredibly smart vehicle, always looking out for what you may miss; it provides a truly cohesive technology experience, making for a seamless, safe, and entertaining ride. Whether you’re working, venturing into the unknown, or simply driving to the grocery store, you’ll enjoy every moment in this high-tech truck.
