Chevrolet introduces 2015 Colorado Sport Concept

With a pair of mountain bikes mounted and a weekend's worth of gear stowed, Chevrolet's Colorado Sport concept is ready for adventure. It was unveiled at the State Fair of Texas, demonstrating the lifestyle-oriented versatility of Chevy's all-new midsize pickup.

"It's
not just mountain bikes, but just about any passion you can name, from kayaking, fishing, dirt bikes and more," said Tony Johnson, Colorado Marketing Manager. "It's a truck for those who need the versatility of a pickup to support their work and lifestyle interests, but don't need a full-size truck to do it."

The 2015 Colorado is available in extended- or crew-cab models, with a choice of a 2.5L four-cylinder or 3.6L V-6 engine. The Colorado's 2.5L is the segment's most efficient, with an EPA-estimated 27 mpg on the highway (2WD models), and the 3.6L V-6 is the most powerful, at 305 hp. It also boasts the segment's highest trailering rating - 7,000 pounds, when properly equipped.

The Colorado's interior is tailored to meet the needs and expectations of today's midsize truck customers. With a quiet cabin and thoughtfully functional interior, the Colorado offers the amenities that car and crossover drivers appreciate, including Chevy MyLink with a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and segment-first applications of Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Alert.

At the back of the Colorado, proven Chevrolet truck features offer conveniences not found in competitors' vehicles, including an easy lift-and-lower tailgate and rear bumper assist steps, which make it easier to get at cargo in the bed. 

The Colorado also offers the GearOn Accessory System, an innovative and adjustable cargo solution that allows customers to stow larger items such as bikes and kayaks above the bed, leaving room for smaller gear, including coolers and tents, inside the bed. The GearOn System is at the heart of the Colorado Sport concept's unique package of lifestyle and personalization accessories.

Prices for the 2015 Colorado start at $20,995, including $875 dealer freight, for a four-door extended cab model with a 200 hp four-cylinder engine. Chevrolet supports Colorado owners with two years or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first) of scheduled maintenance.
