2025 Chevrolet Colorado Features & Specs

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado offers a strong mix of capability, modern technology, and practicality — especially in the base Work Truck (WT) trim.

Standard safety tech across all trims includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic assist, and rear automatic braking.

2025 Chevrolet Colorado Frequently Asked Questions

What engine powers the 2025 Colorado, and why is it significant?

The 2025 Colorado is powered exclusively by the 2.7-liter TurboMax inline-four engine, which delivers an impressive 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This is a major update from previous years, where a less powerful version of the same engine was standard. Now, all trims receive the high-output version, simplifying the lineup and offering significant performance gains. For commercial users, this change means more responsive acceleration even when loaded or towing, enhanced durability under tough conditions, and fewer compromises between efficiency and capability. With the TurboMax engine, the WT becomes more versatile for demanding applications, while still maintaining efficiency for daily driving. This balance of power and refinement ensures that whether you’re pulling a trailer or hauling materials, the 2025 WT delivers consistent performance across all job types.

What are the towing and payload capabilities of the 2025 Chevy Colorado?

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado is built for real-world utility, especially when it comes to towing and payload. Properly equipped, the Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds—placing it among the top of the midsize segment. This capability allows this work truck to handle a wide range of trailers, including equipment haulers, small construction rigs, or recreational gear for weekend duties. In addition, the truck offers a payload rating of approximately 1,710 pounds, depending on selected equipment and configuration. That means you can load the bed with tools, supplies, or materials without worrying about straining the chassis. These figures highlight the Colorado's suitability as a daily work partner, especially for small businesses and tradespeople who rely on a truck that performs as hard as they do.

What safety technologies come standard on the 2025 Colorado?

Chevrolet has made safety a priority across the entire 2025 Colorado lineup. Every Colorado comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist—a suite of driver-assistance features designed to protect both driver and passengers on the job. This includes forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and rear automatic braking. These technologies are particularly valuable in urban settings and job sites where distractions and obstacles can increase accident risk. Additional safety features include a rearview camera, tire pressure monitoring, and LED daytime running lamps. By integrating advanced driver aids into the base trim, the 2025 Colorado goes beyond expectations for a work-focused truck and adds peace of mind to every task.
