2018 Chevrolet Colorado Updates, Changes, New Features

The 2018 Chevy Colorado receives several minor updates and changes, including:

  • Deletion of three exterior colors:
    • Laser Blue Metallic
    • Cyber Gray Metallic
    • Brownstone Metallic
  • Addition of two new exterior colors:
    • Satin Steel Metallic
    • Kinetic Blue Metallic
  • Expanded availability of Deepwood Green Metallic, which is now available on LT and Z71 trim levels (was only available for the Colorado ZR2 on the 2017 Colorado
  • Replacement of the IO3 AM/FM stereo with 4.2-inch diagonal display, which was standard on the Base and Work Truck trim levels of the 2017 Colorado, with the IOB Chevrolet MyLink Radio with 7-inch diagonal color touch-screen, USB ports, auxiliary jack, Bluetooth streaming audio for music and most phones and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability on the base and WT trims. Colorado LT, Z71 and ZR2 trim levels get the IO5 MyLink infotainment system with an 8-inch touch screen, and can be optioned with the IO6 unit — which adds navigation.
    • The inclusion of IOB Chevrolet MyLink Radio with 7-inch touch screen as standard equipment means that the radio will no longer be included in the Custom Special Edition package.
