The “just right”-sized truck

If mid-size is what you're looking for, there's no need to put full-sized demands on your wallet. The 2012 Chevy Colorado works hard and with your budget, and reflects the standard of excellence found in every Chevy Truck.

It offers the right amount of storage capacity for your needs with its three available cab configurations — Regular, Extended and Crew. Customize your truck even more with three engine choices ranging from an economical four-cylinder to a powerful V8, all of which we back with our 5-year/100,000-mile warranty(3). It's easy to see how Colorado is the perfect truck to take you on the adventure of your choice.

Exterior
Your adventure starts here

Rugged and assertive, Colorado delivers traditional Chevy Truck good looks regardless of body style or trim level. Start by choosing between two or four doors and standard or short cargo box versions to meet your exact storage capacity needs. And speaking of cargo, isn't it nice to know every 2012 Colorado comes with a standard drop-in bed liner to help protect your truck bed from scratches and dents while carrying cargo?

2012 Chevrolet Colorado Truck Regular Cab

Colorado Regular Cab

The Regular Cab offers seating for up to three and a six-foot cargo box. Available in Work Truck and Z85 trim levels, and comes with a host of standard features including a bed liner.

2012 Chevrolet Colorado Truck Extended Cab

Colorado Extended Cab

The Extended Cab offers seating for up to five and a six-foot cargo box. Available in four trim levels, including Work Truck and Sport, to suit a wide variety of driver needs.

Interior
Generous room and comfort

A comfortable driving environment comes standard, but Colorado offers so much more. Available heated leather-appointed driver and passenger seating complement an array of standard convenience features like cruise control, an adjustable, leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Audio and entertainment

Available on WT and standard on all other Colorado trims, an AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3 player helps you pass the miles with your favorite tunes. Want more? SiriusXM™ Satellite Radio(4) with three trial months gives you commercial-free music channels, sports, news and talk channels including comedy and family programming from coast-to-coast. Standard on all models except WT.

2WD or 4x4

Standard Colorado 2WD models offer impressive efficiency for fuel-conscious buyers(6) and those who live in climates where a 4x4 truck simply isn't needed. When it is, Colorado 4x4 models are available with Insta-Trac allowing you to shift from 2WD to 4x4 with just the touch of a button.

Safety
Protection is good — prevention is better

You'll find safety features in Colorado that work hard to prevent accidents, but in the event of a crash Colorado helps protect you and your passengers with an extensive approach to safety applied to every Chevy vehicle — before, during and thanks to OnStar, after. OnStar is standard for six months.(13)

 
Before

Every Colorado is equipped with not only four-wheel antilock brakes and daytime running lamps, but also StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control to help you avoid collisions. Stabilitrak helps you stay on the road and in control during emergency maneuvers. The control module compares your steering input with the vehicle's actual response and then, if necessary, makes small, individual applications to help keep you on track.

During

You can count on Colorado to help keep you protected in the event of a collision. It offers driver and front passenger frontal air bags(14) including head-curtain side impact air bags and Passenger Sensing System, along with a Steel Safety Cage and side-impact protection door beams.

After

Colorado offers the unmatched lifesaving technology of OnStar®13. In the event of a crash, you can be automatically connected to help through OnStar with the Directions & Connections Plan® — including Automatic Crash Response - standard for the first six months.
