2023 Chevrolet Colorado MPG Ratings

2023 Chevy Colorado on Dusty Road

 

Based on the 2023 Chevy Colorado mpg ratings that have been compiled by the EPA, we can say that this pickup earns up to 20 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. With four-wheel drive, those numbers drop slightly lower.

These estimates correspond to the Colorado’s base engine, a 2.7L Turbo-4 with 237 horsepower. Additional engines are available, including the Turbo-4 Plus and a high-output version of the same setup. Although the new Colorado’s fuel economy ratings will vary depending on which engine you choose, it’s clear that this truck has so much to offer the drivers of New Braunfels and Schertz.

Which Chevy Colorado Engine is Right for You?

If you really want to make sense of the EPA’s Colorado mileage estimates, you’ll need to understand the differences between the three available engines. You’ll be able to access a lot more power as you move down the line, at the cost of a few miles per gallon.

  • Base 2.7L Turbo-4: 237 hp & 260 lb-ft of torque (Standard on WT, LT)
  • 2.7L Turbo-4 Plus: 310 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque (Available on WT, LT, Standard on Trail Boss, Z71)
