Technical specifications of the Chevrolet Colorado ZR. Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 – a pickup truck for the off-road obsessed

The new Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 pickup truck is created for true connoisseurs of off-road and extreme driving. The new product is designed to compete with such popular models on the American market as . The big advantage of the mid-size pickup truck from Chevrolet in this case is its more affordable price compared to its main competitors.

Exterior design of the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2

The ZR2 is a special modification of the Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck, adapted for off-road driving. There is no doubt that this is a real off-road conqueror even at the first glance at the car. This is indicated by the impressive ground clearance, huge wheels, the special shape of the bumpers, which ensures maximum cross-country ability, and the presence of powerful aluminum protection covering the crankcase, radiator and transfer case.

The front part of the body has an original, recognizable design. The radiator grille with large cells is divided into 2 parts by a wide black stripe. The headlights have the correct shape and LED filling. The widened track of the front wheels makes the appearance of the new product even more masculine.

The body profile is striking in its impressive overall dimensions:

• The length of the pickup is 5395 mm, of which 3264 mm is on the wheelbase.
• The car rides on 17-inch forged wheels with an original design and high-tread tires.
• A ground clearance of 26 centimeters allows you to drive the car on any terrain.
• The vehicle's curb weight ranges from 2129 to 2261 kg, depending on the installed power unit.

Interior and equipment of the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 pickup truck

There are two different versions available for the vehicle:
With a one-and-a-half Extended Cab, which has rear doors and is designed to seat 4 people;
With a full Crew Cab that can comfortably accommodate five people. This cabin has full-size doors for the first and second rows of seats.

In any case, the car interior has a high level of comfort and rich technical equipment. The following list of options is available as standard and optional equipment for the pickup:
— Leather interior trim;
— Electric drive and heated front seats;
— Dual-zone climate control;
— Multifunctional steering wheel;
— Head unit with 8-inch touchscreen;
- Rear View Camera;
— Stereo system with 6 or 7 speakers;
- Cruise control.

The car is equipped with a highly informative dashboard, complemented by a full-color trip computer display. Particular attention should be paid to the organization of the driver's seat. The location of all buttons and controls in the car is well thought out.

Technical characteristics of Chevrolet Colorado

The car is equipped with powerful power units of the buyer's choice:
The 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel produces 186 hp. Equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission;
3.6-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine with output of 308 hp. Works in tandem with 8 automatic transmission.

By default, the new product is equipped with intelligent all-wheel drive with the ability to select one of 9 operating modes depending on the road situation. Another advantage of the pickup truck is the adjustable shock absorber struts. Previously, similar equipment could only be found on sports cars (Chevrolet Camaro, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG GT). Aluminum struts with three valves allow you to change the suspension modes to obtain maximum cross-country ability and controllability.

There are 6 different modes available for the front suspension, and 4 for the rear suspension. In this case, not only the compression level can be adjusted, but also the rebound of the struts.

Thus, the combination of smart all-wheel drive, adjustable shock absorber struts and powerful power units makes the car versatile. It can be used both for everyday driving and for conquering real off-road conditions.

At the end of 2013, at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Chevrolet presented an updated version of the Colorado 2015 model year. The new vehicle is expected to elevate the power, payload and overall ratings of the midsize pickup truck class. The Colorado will go on sale in fall 2014.

“Our company's strategy is simple: meeting the needs of the broadest range of customers,” said Mark Reiss, executive vice president and president of GM North America.

The new Colorado is designed primarily for North American customers. Its unique design, comfort and technology such as Brake Assist and Lane Departure Assist set it apart from other vehicles in its segment.

According to Chevrolet representatives, the updated Colorado will become the most powerful truck in its segment, which will allow owners to increase the size of the cargo they transport or tow. The car comes with a choice of two engine types: a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder as standard and a 3.6-liter V6 as an option. Each engine features direct fuel injection and variable valve timing, which together increase power and efficiency. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

The new Colorado's 3,039 kg payload capacity is enough to haul camping equipment or tow a boat to your favorite lake.

During 2015, the Colorado will be available with the Duramax 2.8-liter I-4 diesel engine, which has proven itself in global markets. It will expand the car line and cover a wider range of customer needs.

“When we designed the Colorado, we tried to create a versatile vehicle for the segment,” says Jeff Luke, GM engineer. “Of course, we were not able to implement all the customer needs in this pickup truck, but we still managed to implement all the attributes of a true truck. The Colorado will provide an added boost of confidence for people who enjoy an active lifestyle.”

Appearance

“The 2015 Colorado design brings a new breath of fresh air to the midsize pickup segment and provides direction for future Chevrolet models,” said Ken Parkinson, executive director of Chevrolet Design. “This is the young brother of the Silverado that is imbued with a restless spirit for adventure.”

There are three versions of the car available: WT, LT and Z71. The latest model features a unique grille surround, projector headlights and 17-inch aluminum wheels.

The Colorado is equipped with sealed doors, which are inherited from the Silverado. They improve aerodynamic performance and create a quieter atmosphere in the cabin.

To keep the vehicle's weight low and improve balance front and rear, the Colorado's hood is made entirely of aluminum alloy. In addition, the car has a special aero grille that closes at high speeds and improves aerodynamics.

Internal view

The cabin's designers have paid particular attention to detail, such as updated lighting focused on the central controls and a center console that makes it easier to position and charge your phone. The Z71 features exclusive color and interior details such as embossed seats and contrast stitching.

Interior details include: sleek door panels that make it easy to get in and out of the car, a large glove box, a large center console, and under-rear seat storage.

Specifications

The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine produces 193 hp. and 253 Nm of torque, with peak torque of 2000 rpm rising to 6200 rpm. The 3.6-liter engine has a power of 302 hp. and 366 Nm of torque.

Aluminum blocks and forged steel crankshafts, along with dual overhead camshafts, variable valve timing and direct fuel injection are unique to both engines. Extended component life will help reduce maintenance intervals and lower cost of ownership.

All models are equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, which makes hauling a cargo or trailer more convenient, including convenient braking and towing mode.

Colorado's new technologies support and complement customers' daily lives. These will include:

• 8" color touchscreen (LT, Z71) and multiple USB inputs
• 3.4-inch screen on the driver's control panel
• Advanced Next Generation OnStar and MyLink systems with voice and gesture recognition
• GPS navigation

• Six standard airbags, including side and rear head airbags
• Large rearview mirrors and standard rearview camera
• Forward collision warning function
• Lane departure warning function
• Electronic Stability Control

Price for Chevrolet Colorado 2015

A brutal and impressive woodcutter from North America. Mid-size pickup with a quiet diesel engine and plenty of torque. Welcome aboard the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Diesel.

The second generation of the pickup truck was presented back in 2011 in Bangkok. Today, we will take a look at the diesel version of the Colorado pickup truck.

The car shows a commanding and confident appearance. At the front, rectangular headlights are separated by a double radiator grille with a Chevrolet emblem, and a wide and sculpted hood hangs over them. The front bumper houses foglights with a chrome frame and powerful plastic “fangs”, apparently performing a protective function. The Colorado profile has smooth corners, inside convex wheel arches, with square-shaped plastic protection, and 17-inch wheels with Goodyear Duratec tires. The metal footrest resembles the battering ram that SWAT use to break down doors. The back part is still strongly raised to the top. Therefore, there are special steps on the sides of the bumper to facilitate access to the open body. Inside the latter there are protective brackets with additional LED lighting.

The interior of the Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck is very bright and cozy. The driver is seated in a very wide seat, and in front of him is an equally wide steering wheel with a harmonious instrument panel behind. The center console has very large buttons that are simply impossible not to hit, and its “top” is equipped with an 8-inch MyLink touch display with Apple Car Play. We are pleased with the excellent sound insulation and the huge amount of space for rear passengers. By the way, if desired, the owner can buy a two-door version of the pickup truck and equip it with a premium audio system from Bose.

Under the hood is a real highlight in the form of a small 2.8-liter turbodiesel with 185 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. The power plant will be paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, distributing all torque to 4 drive wheels. Unfortunately, the company did not provide more detailed technical characteristics of this power unit, but made a statement that it will be the most economical in its class. The Chevrolet Colorado received an exhaust brake, as well as assistance systems for towing a trailer with a load that can weigh up to 7,500 kg. At the same time, the pickup does not lose its maneuverability, the responsiveness of the electric power steering wheel and receives front shock absorbers tuned for a heavier engine.

Officially, the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Diesel is unlikely to hit the Russian market, but in the US it can be purchased for $40,000.

It’s not for nothing that the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck arouses interest among a large public. When looking for a reliable “workhorse”, I advise you to stop at this one. Why? In this review I will tell you more. My increased attention to the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck is caused not only by its excellent appearance, but also by its decent driving characteristics. I believe that even a work car should have a modern, memorable, elegant design, which is exactly what you can see in Colorado.

The new model has grown noticeably. The length of the car is 5713 mm, the wheelbase has increased to 3568 mm. The ground clearance was almost 206 mm. The pickup truck has no shortage of strength, agility, and power. His appearance fully embodies all these qualities. The aggressiveness of the car is given by a massive front bumper, an updated radiator grille with a wide horizontal stripe and huge rectangular projector headlights.

The short front overhang, as well as the protruding “lip” of the underbody protection, add additional solidity to the image. The blown wheel arches, chrome trim on the mirrors, the presence of moldings and a massive cargo platform capable of carrying up to 3040 kg of cargo fit perfectly into the overall picture.

The photo of the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado shows that large rectangular lights are installed at the rear. The rear bumper is neatly shaped and the exhaust system is cleverly hidden in the underbody.

Spacious interior salon

In the pickup truck's interior, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. For example, the seat upholstery is made of dirt-repellent fabric, which is highly practical and reliable. What caught my attention was the new dashboard, which features a 3.4-inch touchscreen. The center console has a new look. It is decorated with an 8-inch touch screen, a navigation system, and a gesture recognition function.


If you look at the photo of the 2019 2020 Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck, you will notice that the steering wheel has become multifunctional, and the driver and front seats have received comfortable lateral supports. Depending on the configuration, the interior may be leather. The door panels have decorative aluminum-look inserts (like those).

Most reviews from 2019 Chevrolet Colorado owners confirm that the interior is spacious and comfortable. Depending on the length of the body, the number of seats can be:

1. 2 seats if the body length is 1.8 m.
2. 5 seats (1.5 m or 1.8 m).

Although the salon is designed for five people, it seems to me that it can easily accommodate six. The vehicle has been equipped at a high level. It includes options such as:

• directional stability system;
• six airbags;
• electronic trailer sway control system;
• lane keeping assistant;
• collision warning system;
• immobilizer;
• all-round cameras;
• heated front seats.

The technical specifications are amazing

Russian motorists will be able to choose from two engine options. The manufacturer offers 2.5-liter and 3.6-liter gasoline power units.

Both engines will be paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It is this that provides the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado with excellent technical characteristics. A little later, the line of power units should be replenished with a 2.8-liter turbodiesel. Unfortunately, the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado will not be officially sold in Russia. But it will be possible to order a model from America. In the USA, the car will be presented in three trim levels: WT, LT, Z71. The WT version will be equipped with:

• 16-inch wheels;
• six airbags;
• electric power steering;
• electrically adjustable driver's seat;
• rear view camera;
• window lifters;
• rollover protection system.

The price of this version of the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado in rubles will be 1,320,100. The list of options for the LT configuration includes:

• 17-inch wheels;
• 8-inch touch screen;
• keyless entry system;
• Cruise control.

The price of this version of the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado in Russia would be about 1,500,250 rubles. In the most sophisticated configuration of the Z71, the following will be available:

• 18-inch wheels;
• fog lights;
• voice and gesture recognition system;
• leather interior;
• automatic climate control system;
• differential lock.

You will have to pay at least 1,780,600 rubles for it.

Competitors are no less developed

Among the considerable number of competitors of the 2019 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, there are many worthy ones. Among them Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. Ford has the highest safety scores in the pickup truck segment. The car is resistant to corrosion, has excellent suspension and is characterized by excellent dynamics. Most owners note low fuel consumption, a roomy spacious interior, and excellent cross-country ability.

Along with this, Ford has some disadvantages. These include high prices for maintenance and repairs. There is also a problem with the availability of original spare parts. The negative point is poor heating of the interior in severe frosts.

The Toyota Tacoma pickup truck has an impeccable reputation. For many car enthusiasts, he became not only a reliable friend, but also an assistant. Unlike the Chevrolet, the Toyota has an old power steering and much worse sound insulation. The maximum load is also in favor of the Colorado - 721 kg versus 680. Compared to the Chevrolet, the Toyota accelerates more slowly. One gets the impression that the “Japanese” is not intended for efficient driving at all.

Inspection of advantages and disadvantages

Among the majority of positive characteristics of the Chevrolet Colorado, I want to highlight the main ones:

1. Stylish appearance.
2. Spacious salon.
3. Large loading platform.
4. High reliability and safety.
5. The car is practical and durable.
6. Excellent maneuverability and dynamism.

Among the shortcomings I can highlight:

• high price;
• expensive maintenance, lack of spare parts on the Russian market;
• weak paintwork;
• high fuel consumption.

The Americans turned out to be a good car. To order it, you should contact the dealer and find out if they can transport the model from the states. Restyling also appeared.
