DETROIT — Today, Chevrolet debuts a new look for its Colorado midsize truck franchise. The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado will make its first public appearance at the 2019 Method Race Wheels Laughlin Desert Classic on Oct.10, driven by Hall Racing. The 2021 Colorado ZR2 will then debut at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.

The Colorado lineup will now feature greater differentiation from trim to trim and the addition of the new “Sand Dune Metallic” exterior paint color option available on the Z71 and ZR2 models. All Colorado variants will also include revised front Chevy “bowtie” emblems and embossed “Chevrolet” tailgates in place of the traditional Chevy bowtie on the rear end of the vehicles.

“We’ve sold 520,000 Colorado pickups in five years through a relentless, foot-on-the-gas approach to product and feature updates,” said Bob Krapes, director of marketing, Chevrolet Trucks. “With its new-look front end and tailgate, Colorado will now have a more aggressive appearance to match its award-winning capability.”

The WT, LT and Z71 Colorado trim levels will all receive updated center bars, lower fascias and front skid plates for 2021. WT and LT will feature all-new gold Chevy bowtie logos, while Z71 receives a black bowtie logo.

The ZR2 off-road performance variant will receive a new appearance to match its standout capability. ZR2 will be the only Colorado model to feature the all-new, lettered, flow-through “Chevrolet” front fascia. ZR2’s new front end provides drivers with improved visibility and looks even more aggressive, which adds to its dynamic, “segment of one” appearance.

ZR2, with its revolutionary, segment-exclusive Multimatic DSSVTM position-sensitive dampers, standard front and rear electronic locking differentials, 2-inch suspension lift, 3.5-inch wider track, off-road rocker protection, cast iron control arms, Autotrac transfer case, and multiple skid plates, will now come equipped with standard red tow hooks as well.

The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado goes on sale next year. Pricing will be announced closer to production. All 2021 Colorado models will be built at General Motors’ Wentzville Assembly Center in Wentzville, Missouri.

Love the color. Very, very sharp truck!!! :confused0068:

Love the front end and the stamped tailgate. Surprised they didn't change the headlights at all. Curious what the "lesser" trims will look like for 2021.

To me it looks like they are trying to force the silverado design language on the Colorado and it just looks odd

I agree with post #4. I am not a fan of Silverado's front end design, and this new Colorado isn't scoring big points with me either. It looks like a sturdy truck though; Maybe it will do ok.

Looks like predators mouth wide open

Shocked and excited to see this revealed so soon.

*scrolls through pictures to look for other trims....none shown*

What the heck!?? I want to see the other trims! lol

I don't know if I like or do not like that front end. Ehhh...it reminds me of the LT HD trucks which got horrible responses....but just not as bad. How can something look good and bad at the same time?

Now....Bring on the Canyon pictures! GM has said the new Canyon AT4 will be revealed in early 2020. Any chance we might see other Canyon trims before then?

So much wrong with the new front design.
Off center flowtie
no front bumper to speak of
too much plastic.

I mean the current ZR2 has the same high approach clearance bumper, and in fact it has even more black plastic trim than the update.

I’m not a huge fan of the new HD look but it looks a little better here on the Colorado.

The off center bow tie is really annoying.

:yikes:

I do not like that look on the Silverado... and like it even less on the Colorado.

It looks like a Humvee and an Avalanche had a baby.

I am not a fan of the front end, mainly because of a lot of aftermarket issues it will create (I think). An aftermarket front bumper that will hold a winch and be much more beefier will cause issue with what to do with the grill part. Now you can replace the front bumper and not touch the grill, don't see that happening on the 2021 with out additional pieces, which would cost the customer more to upgrade. That is an extremely small group, but it's that small group that purchases this vehicle for off road fun and work. I will be at SEMA this year to get a better look and see what other manufactures are offering it.

The rest of the body looks pretty much the same. I was either going to be happy with my 2020 or a little disappointed with my 2020 based on rumors it was coming and I really needed a vehicle. I am happy.

Glad I am not the only one. I think the fact that it kept the old headlights, really makes this new front end design language look forced on it.
