Chevrolet Shows Off the Next-Gen Colorado with Silverado Power

• The Chevrolet Colorado enters a new generation with the 2023 model year.

• The Colorado streamlines its powertrain options to one 2.7-liter turbocharged I4.

• The Colorado also introduces a standard 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

The midsize Chevrolet Colorado pickup enters its third generation in 2023, replacing a truck that made its first appearance in the US market nearly a decade ago. The next-gen Colorado features a new, turbocharged powertrain but ditches the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 and the 2.8-liter Duramax diesel. The new Colorado also sports a revised interior and new exterior styling but sticks with the popular off-road models.

While the 3.6-liter V6 and 2.8-liter Duramax powertrains are out, so is the entry-level 2.5-liter I4 base powertrain. Powering every 2023 Chevrolet Colorado is a 2.7-liter turbocharged I4 that previously saw a home in the larger Silverado. The 2.7-liter I4 is available in three different states of tune, to give prospective Colorado buyers more power if they need it.
