Chevrolet Colorado
If mid-size is what you're looking for, there's no need to put full-sized demands on your wallet. The 2012 Chevy Colorado works hard and with your budget, and reflects the standard of excellence found in every Chevy Truck.
It offers the right amount of storage capacity for your needs with its three available cab configurations — Regular, Extended and Crew. Customize your truck even more with three engine choices ranging from an economical four-cylinder to a powerful V8, all of which we back with our 5-year/100,000-mile warranty. It's easy to see how Colorado is the perfect truck to take you on the adventure of your choice.
Exterior
Rugged and assertive, Colorado delivers traditional Chevy Truck good looks regardless of body style or trim level. Start by choosing between two or four doors and standard or short cargo box versions to meet your exact storage capacity needs. And speaking of cargo, isn't it nice to know every 2012 Colorado comes with a standard drop-in bed liner to help protect your truck bed from scratches and dents while carrying cargo?
The Regular Cab offers seating for up to three and a six-foot cargo box. Available in Work Truck and Z85 trim levels, and comes with a host of standard features including a bed liner.
The Extended Cab offers seating for up to five and a six-foot cargo box. Available in four trim levels, including Work Truck and Sport, to suit a wide variety of driver needs.
Colorado Crew Cab offers more front and rear-seat legroom than Toyota Tacoma Double Cab, letting you seat up to six with the convenience of four doors.
Interior
A comfortable driving environment comes standard, but Colorado offers so much more. Available heated leather-appointed driver and passenger seating — 60/40 split bench or supportive buckets — complement an array of standard convenience features like cruise control, an adjustable, leather-wrapped steering wheel and auto-dimming rearview mirror, standard on LT.
Available on WT and standard on all other Colorado trims, an AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3 player helps you pass the miles with your favorite tunes. Want more? SiriusXM™ Satellite Radio with three trial months gives you commercial-free music channels, sports, news and talk channels including comedy and family programming from coast-to-coast. Standard on all models except WT.
Standard on every Colorado, the Driver Information Center provides detailed information on a variety of vehicle functions, including oil life and the Tire Pressure Monitor System. TPMS monitors the inflation level of each of the four road tires, alerting the driver to a potentially dangerous underinflation situation.
Capability
Opt for the ultimate off-road Chevy Colorado with the legendary Z71 Off-Road package. It's the package for drivers ready to get out there — way out there, standard on Z71 2WD and 4x4. Feel confident and secure with its GM segment-exclusive automatic-locking rear differential that sends power to the wheel that has traction. Z71 also includes a front stabilizer bar, 17" wheels, and a Vortec 3.7L I-5 engine with 242 lb.-ft. of torque.
Standard Colorado 2WD models offer impressive efficiency for fuel-conscious buyers and those who live in climates where a 4x4 truck simply isn't needed. When it is, Colorado 4x4 models are available with Insta-Trac allowing you to shift from 2WD to 4x4 with just the touch of a button.
Standard on Colorado, the durable, efficient Vortec 2.9L I-4 engine offers 185 hp. 2WD models offer an impressive 25 MPG EPA estimate on the highway without sacrificing the power you need to get the job done.
Designed to be a workhorse, the available Vortec 3.7L I-5 offers 23 MPG highway on 2WD models — better highway fuel economy than any V6 midsize pickup— while delivering an impressive 242 hp and 242 lb.-ft. of torque.
Towing, hauling or just having fun, the available 300 hp Vortec 5.3L V8 engine helps Colorado rise to any occasion. The icing? Better highway fuel economy — 20 MPG highway — than Dodge Dakota V8.
