Chevrolet has launched its online configurator for the 2027 Chevy Colorado, providing Missouri truck shoppers with a first look at the latest model's options and features. Production of these updated trucks is already underway at the local Wentzville Assembly plant.
Why it matters
The 2027 model introduces significant performance upgrades and new aesthetic options for truck owners, with manufacturing support provided by the local workforce in Missouri. These updates reflect the latest evolution in the GM 31XX-2 platform used across the midsize truck segment.
The 2027 Chevy Colorado features a 2.7L TurboMax engine delivering 350 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, a notable jump from the previous engine's output. Buyers can also select from three new exterior colors: Nitron Blue, Storm Gray Metallic, and Serpent Metallic.
