Chevrolet Simplifies 2025 Colorado Lineup: One Powerful Engine Now the Standard

Chevrolet Simplifies 2025 Colorado Lineup: One Powerful Engine Now the Standard

Chevrolet is streamlining its 2025 Colorado lineup, making significant changes to the engine options. The latest model of the midsize pickup will now offer only one engine: the most powerful 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Gone are the lower-output engine variants that had been available since the current generation’s debut.

In previous years, Chevy offered three engine outputs for the Colorado, but in 2025, the sole engine will produce a robust 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. This decision follows the discontinuation of the mid-range “Turbo Plus” engine last year, and now the base engine, which offered 237 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque, has also been dropped.

“More Power, More Capability”

For many buyers, this shift is likely to be welcomed. The remaining engine offers plenty of capability, allowing properly equipped Colorado models to tow up to 7,700 pounds and haul 1,710 pounds in the bed. This is a considerable leap over the discontinued base engine, which could only tow 3,500 pounds and carry a 1,490-pound payload.

Though Chevrolet hasn’t offered an official explanation for the move, it’s clear the decision simplifies the manufacturing process and aligns with customer preferences. In 2024, the most powerful engine was only a $1,285 upgrade from the base version, making it an attractive option for buyers looking for more towing capacity and performance. Additionally, the Colorado’s sibling, the GMC Canyon, only offered the higher-output engine, further streamlining production as both trucks share the same assembly line.

“Maximizing Margins Amid Electrification Challenges”

This strategy also reflects General Motors’ broader approach to maximizing profits from its internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. As GM continues to grapple with the low profitability of its electric vehicle (EV) lineup, focusing on more profitable, high-capability trucks like the Colorado and its SUVs helps the company balance its books. By paring down engine options and offering the more powerful variant as standard, Chevy can potentially improve margins while delivering a more potent product to consumers.

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado may be more straightforward in its offerings, but with its improved towing and hauling capabilities, this midsize pickup continues to be a versatile workhorse for buyers who value power and performance.
