Major changes headline the 2025 Chevy Colorado as the manufacturer repositions what the four-door, midsize pickup truck has to offer when it comes to value versus features. You now get more for less as there is a lot packed into the trim line-up and provides potential buyers with plenty of content that gives it an edge over its nearest competitors such as the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger. Some of the new content includes new colors, added standard packaging for select trims, and more standard equipment.
The biggest change for the 2025 Colorado is that it now comes standard across the board with the high-end TurboMax powertrain. No matter which trim grade you go with, it will be equipped with the higher output iteration of the turbocharged 4-cylinder. This gives more reason for those buying entry-level trims to rejoice when it comes to getting more bang for their buck regarding performance. Additionally, each of the trims now come with more standard equipment, including the Safety Package being standard on the WT trim, and the Advanced Trailering Package being standard on the Trailboss and Z71 models.
Six new optional dealer packages have also been added to the trim line-up, including the new Mobile Service Plus Package, the Utility Wall Package, Z71 Convenience Package 3, the WT Custom Package, and the LT Appearance and Convenience Package. The sixth package is actually the Midnight Edition, which is available with special black badging, black trimming, high gloss black wheels, a bed-mounted sport bar, a power distribution box, and a 40-inch off-road roof light bar. You can get the Midnight Edition on the Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 trims. The trim line-up itself includes the WT, the LT, the Trail Boss, the Z71, and the ZR2.

The 2025 Colorado is powered by a single 2.7-liter TurboMax, which is a turbocharged inline 4-cylinder that manages to produce up to 310 hp at 430 lb-ft of torque. The TurboMax is married to an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting and fluid performance on the road. You can also get the Colorado in either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. A standard heavy-duty battery gives the Colorado the reliability you need to get going regardless of the weather conditions, and you can get the Colorado with available front tow hooks.
The 2025 model year has a standard max towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs and a max payload capacity of 1,684 lbs. You have access of up to 41.9 cu.ft. of cargo capacity in the rear bed, and access to a versatile mid-position tailgate that can support up to 500 lbs. You have a built-in 120-volt power outlet and an illuminated workspace thanks to the cargo bed lighting. A work surface is also built into the tailgate, so you can make use of it when you're on the work site or for doing projects around the home. The four-wheel drive models feature the available Autotrac 2-speed transfer case to get the most out of the torque when you need. The off-road models also feature a factory lifted suspension kit, with multiple skid plates to protect the undercarriage.
All trims come standard with an engine air filtration system and the StabiliTrak system, featuring electronic stability and traction control. This gives the Colorado stable on- and off-road performance, which works well in conjunction with the available driver-selectable electronic locking rear differential. Features like this enable added traction when traveling off-road. The availability of the Multimatic jounce control dampers is also essential for those who plan on taking their Colorado off-road, where the suspension can really be put through its paces.
As a midsize pickup truck, the Colorado has an exciting line-up of convenience features for the 2025 model year. The four-door crew cab design seats up to five people across its two rows, featuring standard cloth seats, available Evotex seats, and available perforated leather upholstery for the upper-end trims. You have an 8-way power driver seat with lumbar support and available driver memory settings, so you can modify the settings and have the Colorado remember it whenever you step foot inside the truck. Even better yet is that there are heated and ventilated seat options for those who want to bring the comfort levels up a notch.
You have multiple storage compartments within the Colorado, not just for keeping your items stored, but also beverage holders as well as seatback compartments for your maps, books, or folders. There is a window defroster, a six-speaker audio system or the available Bose premium audio system to make full use of the media capabilities. There is single-zone climate control standard on most trims and available dual-zone climate control for the upper-end trims.
There are also plenty of convenience features when it comes to utility, such as the full LED lighting array for the headlights, the daytime running lights and taillights, and reflective LED windshield alerts. Automatic headlights also make it convenient for when you're driving at different times of the day or night. Privacy glass is a standard feature across the trim line, which allows passengers to peer out but prevents those on the outside from peering in. This matches up well with the solar absorbing windshield, so you get clear visibility while driving. The added availability of the power sunroof also adds a lot of appeal to the convenience and luxury elements of the 2025 Colorado as well.
Remote accessibility makes it possible to remote lock or unlock the doors, as well as power down the windows from a distance. The tech also enables you to make use of quick-start capabilities with the push-button start. An available remote start kit also makes it possible to remotely modify cabin climate control and heat up the seats and steering wheel before entering the truck. It's an extremely useful bit of technology for those who want to pre-warm the vehicle, unlock the doors, and get it started even before you step inside.
Front and rear USB ports enable you to keep your corded devices charged, but if you want to make the most use of your smart device without the cords, you can do so with wireless charging and stay connected while on the go. This is made even more streamlined thanks to the Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity, which you can use to access all your favorite online content. You can also project your smartphone content through the infotainment system that enables you to make use of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, so you can listen to your favorite playlists, or you can explore the latest music and podcasts thanks to the availability of SiriusXM Satellite Radio. You can also use the infotainment in connection with the OnStar and Chevrolet Connected Services, which is great for navigation and emergency services.
There is also a complete suite of safety features for the Chevy Colorado, including a standard inclusion of active safety systems with the Chevy Safety Assist, which comes standard on every Colorado. You have IntelliBeam as a standard feature, along with Automatic Emergency Braking, and the availability of Blind Zone Steering Assist with Rear Pedestrian Alert. Blind Zone Steering with trailering support is also available for those who want extra safety features for their trailering activities.
Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning also come standard, helping you to easily navigate without worrying about veering off course. Forward Collision Alert and the HD Rear Vision Camera are also standard, along with the Rear Seat Belt Indicator Warning. Buckle to Drive and Teen Driver mode also come standard, giving you access to pre-launch safety checks, report cards, and parental controls for those who want to ensure their teen is kept safe on the road while behind the wheel of a 2025 Chevy Colorado.
