2017 Chevrolet Colorado Revealed For International Markets

Brazil had first dibs with the reveal of the local 2017 Chevrolet S10. Elsewhere in the world, the same midsize pickup truck wears the Colorado name and now, the Bowtie has lifted the curtain on the 2017 Chevy Colorado for the ASEAN markets.
We feel obligated to note that the truck seen here shares a platform and name with the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon sold in the U.S. and Canada, but is substantially different from those two models when it comes to exterior, interior powertrain, and capability. Onward.
The ASEAN-market 2017 Colorado is identical to the 2017 Chevy S10 pickup, featuring updated styling, better interior materials, more efficiency and more technology packed into the midsize truck package.
“The all-new Colorado is not just another pickup truck. Like all Chevrolet trucks before it, it has been developed to respond to specific market requirements. It is as tough and powerful as a truck should be, yet has enough comfort and refinements for the urban environment,” Marcos Purty, Managing Director of GM and Chevrolet Sales Thailand, said.
Refinement is a key word Chevrolet is using to present the new truck. Development for the vehicle took place at GM’s Australian subsidiary, Holden, as well as at GM Brazil. The updated front fascia strikes us as more premium and upright, with daytime running LEDs embedded into the headlights. The strong proportions head to the rear with an even more clever bed.
Inside, the story is similar. More premium materials and connectivity features are abundant. Chevrolet states the driver was in mind when designing the cockpit. This means a more workable center stack and center console. And, of course, there’s an eight-inch touchscreen hosting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and the latest Chevrolet MyLink system.
Powering the updated midsizer is the updated XLD25 2.5-liter turbocharged Duramax diesel engine. It can be paired to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions. Engineers ensured the engine runs quieter than ever, too, with new sound deadeners around the injectors.
Thanks to a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), the diesel-sipping four-banger makes more power, producing 132 kW (180 horsepower) at 3,600 rpm and 440 Nm (325 pound-feet) at a low-low 2,000 rpm. For increased comfort and reduced NVH levels, engineers included new cabin mounts that provide better isolation between the cabin and chassis. The new cabin mounts also reduce movement between the cabin and the chassis, providing more solid driving dynamics.
And, as previewed on the Chevrolet Colorado Xtreme concept, a host of accessories will be offered alongside the new truck to further enhance its global DNA. These include a black grill, real lamp cover, extended sports bar, rear black bumper or black door handles.
Expect the refreshed Colorado to launch later this year. And Holden is up next to show off the 2017 Holden Colorado.

Wait one gosh darn second-they take one of the most useful features ever found on any truck and discard it? I’m talking about the rear corner step bumpers. I hope they don’t follow that in North America!
I would not get too wrapped up on the bumper yet. The NA version will have many of the features we already have as this one will have a few we will not see.
Different needed and expectations will vary from market to market.
Some guy in the far east is looking for his bed rail cargo hooks that he will get that Australia and NA will not get.
I even expect some styling changes for us to.
Kinda weird – it’s going global where?
The new Colorado was first intro’d in SE Asia – Thailand is (or at least then) was the 2d biggest mkt in the world, after the US. The first ‘new’ Colorados were made in SE Asia. So they had it in, what, 2010?
I don’t know what changes were made for the US mkt, and don’t know how the CO is re-evolving for global.
But the most current iteration began as a global thing …
This “global” Colorado is sold in markets outside of North America (plus Mexico). The markets that you point out are all correct for the initial international-market 2010+ Colorado as well as the model unveiled here.
Meanwhile, the North American-market Colorado shares the platform but is a very different vehicle, with different wheelbases and significantly more “premium” content that its international-market doppleganger. That’s the case for the platform, cab, box, and powertrain — pretty much across-the-board increases in “premium-ness”.
The two will continue as separate vehicles with the same name until the next-generation, at which point I expect the two to be come more alike.
So a manual is available for the world truck but not the North American version!?! Too bad. I would’ve purchased one for sure. Really liked the Colorado I sat in at the auto show. Bought a 2015 Ecodiesel for less money though. I went for the bigger truck since I couldn’t get the smaller diesel in a manual transmission. Maybe when Toyota offers the Tacoma in a diesel with the manual. How many of you in the US and Canada would love to get your hands on a turbo diesel Colorado or Canyon with a six speed manual?
AND YOU ARE A BULLSHIT!
So you bought a bigger truck that has an automatic anyway?
I would like to see a luxury version of one of these trucks that sits a bit closer to the ground for easier ingress and egress for older people. Not everyone is younger and not everyone goes off road. there are older people who need a truck for hauling stuff and want some luxury and would like it a bit closer to the ground.. maybe like the 2004 silverado… much closer to the ground. How difficult is this?
