Power

The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado is available with your choice of three engines. Standard is a 2.5L four-cylinder that puts out 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. This one comes paired with a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission for efficient and smooth operation. For more power you can go with a 3.5L V6 that produces 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, which is enough power to pull 7,000 pounds. There is also a new 2.8L turbo-diesel four-cylinder Duramax engine available that puts out 181 hp, 369 lb-ft of torque and has a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. No matter which engine you choose, expect your Colorado to rise to the occasion.

Fuel Economy

One of the things that makes the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado such an appealing option is that it doesn’t suck down gas the way that other pickups so often do. With the 2.5L engine you can expect to get 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. That dips just slightly in the 3.6L engine to 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. For the best fuel efficiency, the turbo-diesel engine is your best option. It can get up to 31 mpg on the highway. That means you can do what you need to do and spend a lot less time and money at the gas pump.
