2022 Chevy Colorado Price, Features, Colors & More
The Backbone
Pickup trucks such as the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado are the backbone of our economy. They play a role in many kinds of activities, such as landscaping, public works, and farming, by enabling drivers to haul products or raw materials to where they need to be. Pickup trucks are also handy in snowy and cold climates. And sometimes pickup trucks are just cool to have.
The 2022 Chevrolet Colorado has plenty to offer, no matter the type of use you are planning. The team at Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC put together a list of the features that we are sure will land this car on your preferred list.
Cab Options
The 2022 Chevrolet Colorado offers three trim options in rear-wheel drive (LT, Work Truck, and Z71) and four options in all-wheel drive (LT, Work Truck, Z71, and ZR2). Across those various options, you will be able to choose from two basic cab styles: the crew cab and the extended cab.
The crew cab measures 141 inches, while the extended cab goes to 128 inches. Each of the trim levels in the Chevrolet Colorado offers both extended cab and crew cab options.
Interior Features
The Colorado’s interior offers many features that factor into your driving comfort. You will enjoy the front bucket seats. Standard across the line is a two-way manual front passenger seat, and the driver’s seat in the Colorado WT is four-way power-adjustable to find you that sweet spot.
Carpeted floor mats are standard in both the front and the rear, as is a front center console for storing valuables and other smaller items. The console also provides connectivity through USB ports and an auxiliary jack.
If you need a sure grip, check out the Colorado LT and Z71, as these trims offer leather-wrapped steering wheels. Both models also come with an overhead console to provide additional storage and reading lamps and other controls, if equipped with those features.
Fuel Efficiency
Pickup trucks like the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado have average fuel economy ratings compared to other types of vehicles, such as SUVs or sedans.
Economy ratings for the Colorado vary slightly depending on the size of the engine and the powertrain. The car’s 3.6-liter engine performs at 18 mpg in city driving and 25 mpg in highway driving, for a combined rating of 21 mpg. By comparison, the 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine gets an estimated 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, for a combined 22 mpg.
Exact fuel economy performance will vary depending on your style of driving and other factors, such as the route, the terrain, and the weight you are towing. The numbers above are estimates based on EPA tests.
Towing Capacity
One of the advantages of pickup trucks such as the Chevrolet Colorado is their towing capabilities. Towing capacity refers to the maximum amount of weight you can pull when you attach a trailer to your vehicle and fill it with cargo.
You should always abide by the towing maximum, as exceeding it can put you, your passengers, and other drivers at risk. Depending on how you configure your Chevrolet Colorado, you can expect one of two towing capacities: a 3,500-pound max or a 7,000-pound max.
Pay attention to the guidelines in your owner’s manual about towing. The maximum weight you can tow will be reduced by the amount of cargo, the number of passengers, and the types of options and accessories you have in your particular vehicle.
Safety
As for safety, you can count on the Chevrolet Colorado to provide peace of mind. The features include a tire pressure monitoring system and tire fill alert, teen driver control settings, airbags, daytime running lamps, and electronic traction control. For driving comfort, the Colorado also offers an electronic stability control system with traction control. You will also appreciate the electrical theft-deterrent system.
Technology
The 2022 Chevrolet Colorado includes technology that will keep you informed and entertained. Depending on the trim selection you make, you can monitor data points about the truck’s performance through either a 3.5-inch monochromatic driver information center or a 4.2-inch color driver information center. The latter is available in the Colorado Z71.
For radio, podcasts, or mobile phone connectivity, the Colorado relies on the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, which is available in different resolutions depending on the model you purchase. For instance, the Colorado WT and Colorado LT come with a standard 8-inch touch screen, while the Colorado Z71 upgrades an 8-inch HD color screen.
The base audio is a six-speaker sound system, with speakers distributed around the vehicle. If you are into high fidelity, you can upgrade to a Bose Premium sound system in the Colorado Z71 and Colorado LT. As always, you can link your smartphone to the system using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, depending on what kind of phone you have. Another nice option available in the Colorado Z71 is wireless charging.
Pricing
The Chevrolet Colorado offers a range of prices, depending on which model you choose and the options you prefer. The entry-level is the Chevrolet Colorado WT, with a suggested price of $27,100. The other trims are as follows:
- Colorado LT, starting at $29,700
- Colorado Z71, starting at $38,000
- Colorado ZR2, starting at $44,200
Each model comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. You are also covered by a roadside assistance program with courtesy transportation that lasts for 5 years or 60,000 miles.
