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

The updates and changes described here are specific to the U.S. market and may be different for other markets.
