You have to stay fresh.
Chevrolet
We saw the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado bow last October ZR2 form, but the Bowtie brand has been waiting until now to show what the standard pickup will look like with its fresh face. The good news is that the truck still looks pretty good after all these years.
Chevy unveiled photos of standard Colorado on Thursday showing its new face and optimized hatchback. As we saw in 2021 Colorado ZR2The grille of the front clip becomes wider, although the split grille itself remains. It’s a very light refresh, but it’s just enough to keep the Colorado up to date, especially alongside the completely redesigned one Chevy Silverado sit at dealerships.
On the back of the Colorado is also the traditional Chevy emblem, which mimics the tailgate of the Silverado. Now there is “Chevrolet” on the back with the name in the tailgate. Matt Noone, Chevy Trucks’ exterior designer, said the decision was made after the brand succeeded with the look that bowed to the latest Silverado. Of course, this design was also the norm for Chevy trucks years ago.
The higher grille is said to make the Colorado look wider, but the look also benefits the front air dam. The fresh look cuts out the air dam to improve aerodynamics and increase the approach angle of the truck. The redesign of the air dam also allows drivers to remove it completely if they so choose.
As this is a light refreshment, Chevy didn’t dive into the mechanics of the pickup. So a 2.5-liter in-line, 3.6-liter V6 and 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine remain on the menu. However, truck buyers looking for something new will find an optional 1-inch lifting kit for the 2021 Colorado, and there are three new colors to choose from. Inside, the cabin remains the same, but an 8.0-inch touchscreen unit is now standard on the LT panel and higher. New wheel designs and two new appearance packages complete the changes.
As for pricing, Chevy’s smallest pickup getting more expensive for the new model year, but with good reason. While shoppers will see the starting price rise by $ 4,000, the brand has abolished the base model with an extended cabin, which started at $ 22,395 after the destination. The cheapest Colorado will now be the extended-cab work truck model, which costs $ 26,395.
For a real comparison of apples to apples, the work truck variant costs $ 500 more than the outgoing model after the suggested retail price has been increased by $ 400 and the target fee by $ 100, which is now $ 1,195 corresponds. Production of the revised pickup starts this month.
