Some of the staff at the GM Authority headquarters were recently wondering how the mid-size Chevy Colorado would look like if it had the front end of the full-size Chevrolet Silverado.
So we sent our mad team of rendering artists and illustrators to work. They grafted the front end of the current, fourth-generation Silverado to the current, second-generation Colorado. The donor models included the fascia from the 2019 Silverado LT Trail Boss along with the body of the 2019 Colorado Z71.
We think the result looks quite attractive. A Chevy Colorado with the front end of a Silverado turns out to be quite a handsome pickup truck. Who knew?
Though this project is purely fiction, it might not be too far-fetched when we really think about it. That’s because the design of the next-generation Colorado, expected to be available in the 2023 model year, will likely draw many an inspiration from the Silverado. In doing so, it the 2023 Chevy Colorado no doubt have narrower headlamps, a wider grille, and perhaps a more generally-aggressive appearance than the current model does.
Assuming things play out in exactly this fashion, there would then surely be a closer family resemblance between the Chevy Colorado and Silverado than there is at present, thereby creating a “family” resemblance between Chevy trucks that would be stronger than ever before.

It looks good because you deleted the air curtains on the front corners. Would look great on the full size too. Wish they hid those curtains in with the fog lights as others have done.
The Colorado looks better because the rendering clean up the gills on the corner of the bumper area of the Silverado and all the ugly body lines are removed from the side of the truck.The Colorado taillights looks better than the Silverado as well
First off there is nothing ugly about the Silverado. If you guys (in the comments) think otherwise, you are in need of glasses.
Second, this rendering looks great too.
As the happy owner of a 2021 Colorado LT Extended Cab in Satin Steel Metallic with 18″ Dark argent wheels I’ll take mine just as it is thank you.
If you want A toy instead of A real truck go for it . I bought the 1500 4×4 RST for the looks the 6.2 L 10spd transmission. And A wider stance. For about the same price
Not everyone needs or wants a full size truck. It’s not a toy when it serves it’s intended purpose. Since you don’t know how much I paid your comment “For about the same price” is just ignorant speculation. I won’t be following this thread.
GM needs to start selling the regular cab short bed in the USA and not only on Saudi Arabia. Its stupid. I would buy a standard cab short bed Chevy or GMC . They make them. But don’t sell them to us. Its unamerican. Need to offer the 5.3 6.0 and the Corvette 6.2 with a 12 bolt positraction 410 differential. 4 wheel and 2 wheel drive Come on man.
As an owner of a 2916 Colorado I went to the local Chevy dealer to discuss a trade.
They only had two, new Colorado’s One white and one black… ugh!
Why are there so few 2020 models available.
