2022 Chevrolet Colorado

We expect the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado to receive very minor updates after receiving a handful of more noteworthy updates for the 2021 model year.

The 2022 Colorado represents the eighth model year of the second-generation Colorado. We expect it to become the final model year of the second-gen model before an all-new model arrives for the 2023 model year.

Expected Changes, Updates, New Features

Here are the changes we expect for the 2022 Colorado:

One or two new exterior colors
Slight re-arrangement in features and equipment within trim levels
Potential deletion of 2.8L turbo-diesel engine
