Chevrolet has released photos of the
facelifted 2021 Colorado in standard guise, months after we got a look at the
more rugged ZR2 model, which is one of four available trims, with others being
the base Work Truck, LT and Z71.
The pick-up truck borrows several cues
from the larger Silverado that came before it, including a larger front grille
as well as a redesigned front fascia with bigger intakes and a wider stance
thanks to a new air dam that can be removed, if need be.
Changes at the rear all less extensive, as
the taillights and broad step bumper with side cutouts are unchanged. However,
the tailgate has been redesigned without the “bowtie” logo, which has been
replaced with a large Chevrolet stamping instead, as seen on the Silverado.
As we’ve already seen, the ZR2 stands out
from the pack with a unique fascia that features a gaping front intake with
flow-through lettering in its grille. The off-road-oriented trim also gets red
tow hooks, Multimatic dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials,
a 2-inch lift kit, a 3.5-inch wider track, along with an array of skid plates
and underbody protection. Unfortunately, the company did not provide any
details about interior or mechanical updates for the new Colorado, although it
did say production of the pick-up truck is set to begin later this month.
