Chevrolet Colorado

On taking a glance at this pick-up we could make out that Colorado draws its basic chassis from the Trailblazer SUV, and similarly the interior cabin design and layout are also packed with a complete premium package along with ergonomically functional design. Talking about the dashboard we see a three-spoke steering wheel which dons a minimalistic and subtle design with all mounted buttons for audio, Bluetooth and cruise controls. Behind the steering wheel lies an instrument console with a blue backlit. 

The centre-instrument console has a nice and meaty appeal with big dials popping out of the cluster. Enhancing the beauty of the instrument cluster is the 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with all ubiquitous features for audio and Bluetooth connectivity. Below the screen are AC vents with silver hues all over which looks classy and glossy at the same time. The overall cabin theme is in piano-black colour with a black finish on all the doors as well. The colour theme further upgrades the style quotient of the cabin. 

Adding to the premium-ness are the leather-wrapped upholstery on the seats. The space, both for passengers and cargo, makes Colorado quite a spacious vehicle, with enough room for five passengers inside and a cargo cabin to accommodate all your luggage.

The conventional pick-up trucks did not focus much on the style quotient but the urban pickups are largely positioned as lifestyle vehicles which is why the exterior design and layout is also worked upon to mark an impact. The exterior front fascia of the pickup carries a hoydenish stance and a masculine appeal. The face also dons a two-part chrome grille and houses the brand’s logo right at the centre. The grille extends to seamlessly meet the side angular headlamps, and the round corner fog lamps. The pick-up rides on massive 18-inch alloy-cut wheels which gives it a high stance and a huge ground clearance. Upgrading the styling game of this urban pick-up truck are the chrome-finished rear-view mirrors, door handles and roof rails. 

The rear profile looks quite dated with nothing very prominent to uplift the style quotient. The boot opening, however, is the same as found in all pickups-a small door handle places in the middle of the door. 

Chevrolet Colorado sits on a ladder-on-frame chassis and is equipped with double-wishbone independent suspension with coil-over twin-tube shock absorbers at the front and axle suspension with leaf springs at the rear. The suspension setup is robust enough curb all the bumps and jolts on the road and offer a pleasurable drive. Provided the huge turning radius and massive dimensions, the city traffic ride with this pick-up might be a challenge. 

Chevrolet Colorado comes with two engine options. The base 4x2 2.5 MT variant is powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder oil burner, which is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and pumps out 163 PS of power and 380 Nm of torque. On the other hand, the rest of the other three variants source their power from a 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, which churns 200 PS of power and 500 Nm of torque and get the options of both 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearbox options. 

Chevrolet has made all efforts to make this urban pick-up one of the safest vehicles around, and for this, Colorado is equipped with all standard and modern safety features. Colorado comes packed with front and side airbags, ABS with EBD, limited-slip differential for 4x4 variants, ABS with EBD, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and front and rear parking sensors.

The major attraction of this pickup is its ultimate versatility. It is powerful and is excellent to drive off roads as well. The masculine and meaty stance is enough to leave an impact while the pickup is running on roads or is standing still. The only downside is that driving this pickup on busy city traffic roads is a challenge but otherwise it can offer a spur journey on highways. With the most refined engine under its bonnet, Colorado is one beast on wheels. Prices of the Chevrolet Colorado are PHP 1.27 Million for the 2.8L LT 4X2 AT and PHP 1.64 Million for the top model 2.8L 4X4 at High Country Storm.
