2022 Colorado Interior

The interior is just as rugged as the outside, with loads of hard plastic and a simple yet durable design. The amount of cabin space depends on the cab you choose, and the features increase as you move up the trim levels. Similarly, build quality and materials improve, too. With its no-nonsense, workmanlike aesthetic, it makes sense that the controls are laid out for practicality and ergonomics. With leather seats on the upper trims, the truck is semi-luxurious, but it's starting to show its age. Sadly, the truck's recent makeover did not extend to the interior.

Seating and Interior Space

There is space for up to five inside the Colorado. However, the Extended Cab only offers seating for four and those in the back are not spoiled for space, with an awkward entry and exit too, thanks to the two small rear-hinged doors. Legroom is extremely restrictive, too. The Crew Cab is definitely preferable if you intend to haul the family around regularly, since ingress and egress are a lot easier and there is enough legroom for adults. Those up front have plenty of space in both set-ups, and the high seating position grants a commanding view of the road. As standard, the driver's seat is four-way power-adjustable, but this increases to six-way on the upper trims. The passenger-seat gains power-adjustability, too.

Interior Colors and Materials

The interior of the truck is not overly impressive and nor is the color palette. The entry-level WT is dressed in either vinyl or cloth, although both come in a basic combination of Jet Black and Dark Ash. A step up to the LT gets you cloth in Jet Black as standard, with leather of the same hue available with the Crew Cab if you opt for some of the packages on offer. Similarly, the Z71 gets Jet Black cloth/leatherette in its standard guise, with leather available for an additional $950 on the Crew Cabs. The top-line ZR2 gets leather upholstery, but no additional color options are added. As the upholstery is upgraded through the trim levels, so too are the trimmings. Hard plastics are commonplace among the lower trims, and are slowly traded out for softer materials as you work your way up to the ZR2, which also gets metallic finishes. Only the base trim misses out on a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

2022 Colorado Trunk and Cargo Space

Since there is no conventional trunk, cargo space is dependent on bed length. The long box can be paired with either the Extended or Crew cabs, measuring 74 inches long and 57.8 inches wide at the floor. This offers a total cargo capacity of 49.9 cubic feet. The shorter box can only be combined with the Crew Cab, and has a reduced length of 61.7 inches. This, in turn, reduces the overall cargo capacity to 41.3 cubic feet. In comparison to the rest of the segment, these figures are quite competitive, and allow the pickup to haul payloads of up to 2,181 pounds - applicable to the 4WD Extended Cab with the long box and diesel engine.

Around the cabin, there is a fair number of storage solutions. A standard glove compartment supplies space for larger items, while the door pockets can accommodate smaller items. Along with the expected door pockets, the Extended Cab comes with rear underseat storage. Naturally, cupholders are standard, too, with two up front and two in the back. An overhead console is added on every trim from the LT upwards.

Features

The list of features on the truck is not overly impressive, even on the most expensive model. Comforts are lacking, with manual single-zone climate control on the base trim and LT. There are a few more standard convenience features on the WT, like power accessories, a four-way power driver's seat, a rearview camera, a monochrome 3.5-inch driver-information display, and a manually tilting steering column. The LT expands on this with a six-way electrically adjustable driver's seat, illuminated vanity mirrors in the sun visors, cruise control, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, a manually tilting/telescoping leather-trimmed steering wheel, an overhead console, and keyless entry. Z trims add a color 4.2-inch driver-information display, reading lights, powered driver-seat lumbar adjustment, remote start, cloth/leatherette upholstery, automatic single-zone climate control, and an HD rearview camera. Aside from the rearview camera, one of the few standard safety features is a teen driver system, while rear parking sensors are added to the Z71. Available packages can improve upon this with lane departure warning and forward collision avoidance.

Infotainment

A Chevrolet Infotainment 3 suite comes standard on the base model, comprising a seven-inch touchscreen and six-speaker sound system. This is programmed with Bluetooth streaming for two actively connected devices, SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The LT replaces the smaller screen with an eight-inch display and its system is Wi-Fi capable, while the Z71 further enhances it with a high-definition display, voice recognition, in-vehicle apps, and HD Radio. A pair of front USB ports offer smart device charging and two rear USB ports are added on Extended Cab and Crew Cab models from LT level and up. Wireless charging is optionally available. The entire system can be upgraded to one that has built-in navigation and a Wi-Fi hotspot, paired with a seven-speaker Bose premium sound system, though this is not available on the base-level WT.
