2024 Chevrolet Colorado: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado is that an 11-inch digital driver display is standard on every trim. Chevrolet also simplifies the engine lineup, but most of the truck carries over from the full 2023 redesign.
About the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado
3rd generation (2023-present), second model year after the full 2023 redesign.
Chevrolet positions the Colorado as a midsize pickup that mixes real truck utility with a more modern cabin and a deep off-road lineup. Its core appeal is strong towing for the class, clever bed and tailgate functionality, a large touchscreen-based interior, and a trim spread that runs from basic work duty to serious trail use. Compared with rivals, Chevrolet leans especially hard on Colorado’s off-road credibility and broad range of personalities.
The 2024 Colorado ranges from the work-focused Work Truck and more polished LT to three off-road trims. Trail Boss has a 2-inch lift, while Z71 adds a more finished cabin and LED lighting. ZR2 is the specialized trail version, with a 3-inch lift, upgraded dampers, locking front and rear differentials, and underbody protection.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Chevrolet drops the middle-output engine tune. Work Truck and LT retain the 237-hp turbo four-cylinder as standard and use the 310-hp, 430-lb-ft TurboMax as the upgrade engine; Trail Boss and Z71 move from 391 to 430 lb-ft of torque, matching ZR2's TurboMax output.
Tech and equipment
An 11-inch digital driver display becomes standard on every trim. LT and Z71 also make the tilt-adjustable steering wheel standard, while Z71 makes remote start standard.
Styling
Alloy wheels become standard on Trail Boss rather than optional.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado?
The biggest change is the standard 11-inch digital driver display, which is fitted to every 2024 Colorado trim. The engine range is also simpler because Chevrolet removes the previous middle-output tune.
Did the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado engine lineup change from 2023?
Yes. Chevrolet drops the middle-output version of the 2.7-liter turbo engine for 2024. Work Truck and LT retain the 237-hp engine as standard, while Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 use the 310-hp TurboMax with 430 lb-ft of torque.
Is the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado a full redesign?
No. The 2024 Colorado is the second model year of the third-generation truck introduced for 2023, so it is a light follow-up rather than another redesign.
Is the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado meaningfully different from the 2023 model?
The differences are modest. The 2024 model makes the 11-inch driver display standard across the lineup, removes the middle engine tune, and gives Trail Boss and Z71 the stronger 430-lb-ft TurboMax tune; the basic design and five-trim lineup remain the same.
How do the 2024 Colorado Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 differ?
Trail Boss is the entry point for serious off-road hardware, with four-wheel drive, a 2-inch lift, and extra ground clearance. Z71 combines trail equipment with LED lighting and a more finished cabin, while ZR2 adds a 3-inch lift, upgraded dampers, front and rear locking differentials, and stronger underbody protection.
2024 Chevrolet Colorado Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado.
4.3
2024 Chevrolet Colorado
(62 reviews)
“AVOID at all costs. This is the worst quality vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned many. I will be selling this piece of junk and lose money just to be free of it. The Colorado is more troublesome and less reliable than any other vehicle I have ever driven. Chevy should be embarrassed to sell such a low quality vehicle. My first and last Chevy!!”
“I would recommend any person that is considering a Toyota Tacoma to give the Chevrolet Colorado a test drive. Chevrolet did their homework and most likely you would select Colorado over the Tacoma for 1. Power 2. Connectivity. 3. Style even beats them, hands down. Great vehicle!”
