Powertrain Specs and MPG
For 2024, Chevrolet simplified the Colorado’s engine lineup. All are powered by a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder, but where in 2023 the engine was available in three outputs, only two are available for 2024. The base engine, standard in the WT and LT trim levels, makes 237 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet of torque. Optional in the lower trim levels and standard on those above the LT is a high-output version of the same 2.7-liter; it costs ,285 and is cranked up to 310 hp and 430 pounds-feet of torque. Last year’s 310-hp mid-level configuration, which made 390 pounds-feet, is no longer offered.
All Colorados come with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the WT and LT, and four-wheel drive is a ,300 option on those trim levels and standard above them. With RWD and the base engine, the Colorado gets an EPA-rated 20/24/22 mpg city/highway/combined. The high-output engine bumps rear-drive Colorados down to 19/24/21 mpg, while 4WD drops each figure down another mpg, to 18/23/20. As off-road capability increases, fuel economy drops further, bottoming out with the Bison’s 16/16/16 mpg.
