2020 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Concept, Refresh, Price, and Interior. Colorado is one of the most versatile trucks you can find around. Still, a 6-year old design means that some updates would be more than welcome. According to the latest reports, we are about to see a mid-cycle refresh next year, which will include the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. The truck’s special off-road version will follow all the changes that are about to come, but most likely won’t get more of those exclusive details, in terms of mechanical upgrades and similar things. This model already comes with some significant modifications compared to standard model and it seems there is really no need for some additional tweaks at this point.
Engines
While standard Colorado comes with three engines in the offer, this one comes with only two. The 2020 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 will continue in the same way. Don’t count on a base 2.5-liter engine. The offer will start with a 3.6-liter V6, which is good for about 310 horsepower. A diesel option will be available two. Of course, there is a familiar 2.8-liter Duramax engine that delivers around 180 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque. Some reports also suggest an introduction of Chevy’s new 2.7-liter turbo inline-four gasoline engine, which already debuted in the new Silverado.
Pros:
- Great off-road capabilities
- Outstanding working capabilities
- Upgraded visual appeal
- Upscale cabin
Cons:
- Doesn’t ride so smooth on the road
- Some rivals have much better-predicted reliability ratings
Exterior
Just like the rest of the lineup, the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 will also receive a mid-cycle refresh. This means a completely new face, with things like a new grille, reshaped headlights etc. Still, keep in mind that this version comes with lots of distinctive details and that the upcoming model will keep with the same amount of exclusive details. Among these upgrades, we can highlight things like off-road suspension, special dampers, large off-road tires, higher ground clearance etc. It comes with unique bodywork which improves the visual appearance of the truck but also improves the angle of approach and departure. Another important feature is an electronically locking rear differential.
Interior
Unlike the exterior, the interior of this version doesn’t come with many upgrades. Chevy keeps this cabin civilized and offers pretty much the same layout. You won’t find those overdesigned sporty upgrades on parts like steering wheel, seats, pedals, dashboard etc. The 2020 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 will continue in the same way, keeping things simple. Latest reports suggest that the upcoming update will also mean interior refreshment and this version will definitely receive all those novelties.
