The new 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is a smart choice for drivers who want a capable pickup truck for towing, hauling, and off-roading but don’t need a full-size truck. Equipped with a standard 2.7-liter TurboMax® engine with 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, the midsize Colorado brings strong performance to a range of tasks and offers up to 7,700 pounds of max towing capacity, when properly equipped.
If you’re considering the latest Chevy Colorado, you may be wondering how it has changed from last year’s model. While the 2026 model year sees very few changes, a new paint color, White Sands, is introduced, replacing Harvest Bronze Metallic, a color offered for the previous model year. In addition, the 2026 Chevy Colorado Z71 trim level offers a new wheel design: 20-inch painted aluminum wheels with machine face and Grazen painted pockets.
