The Chevrolet Colorado comes in three different bodystyles with various box lengths, powered by a choice of four- and five-cylinder engines with optional all-wheel-drive.

For 2007, Chevrolet increased the size of both engines. For 2008, Chevy has cleaned up the Colorado's appearance, with less charcoal-colored trim for a more monochromatic look, especially at the LS trim level, which now wears body-color bumpers. In general, fewer trim levels and option packages are offered.
