2015 Chevy Colorado Review: It’s Not A Midsize

When the 2015 Chevy Colorado came out it shook up the mid-size pick up market which had been dormant. It arrived alongside the GMC Canyon and both trucks have been accepted well.

The 2015 Chevy Colorado came with a new global platform along with plenty of standard features and the towing is better than ever. The vehicle is 5.5 inches narrower than the Chevy Silverado and it is shorter and far easier to park as it is 14.5 inches less in distance between the back and front wheels.

The 2015 Chevy Colorado has an attractive cabin and you can choose between the extended version and the crew-cabin version. The body lines are taunt and crisp and it comes with fender flares that are integrated. The cabin is a lot better as the controls are bigger and the touch display can be used with gloves.

You can get the 2015 Chevy Colorado in the 2.5 litre 4 cylinder 200hp version and this offers 191 ft-lb of torque. There is also the optional V6 3.6 litre and this offers 305hp along with 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2.5 litre version is connected to a 6 speed manual transmission if you go for the extended cab version or you choose the 6 speed automatic if you go for the crew cab 4 cylinder.

There is great fuel economy with the 2015 Chevy Colorado and the two wheel drive 4 cylinder gives around 30mpg when driving in the city and on the highway this is 27mpg. If you choose the extended cab there is the 74 inch box while the crew cabs offer the 62 inch or the 74 inch bed. As it is recessed it is easy to get in and out.

The V6 is able to pull 7,000 pounds and it is available in the Base, WT, LT or the Z71 trim. The extended length comes in at $21,000 with air conditioning, floor console, rearview camera, 6 speakers and a lot more. The LT offers touch display, cruise control, power drivers seating, Bluetooth, WiFi and 18 inch alloy wheels.

If you go for the 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 you get sliding rear windows, heated front seating, locking rear differential and all-terrain rubber and dual range transfer case. If you are on a budget this is going to be very appealing.
