2007 Chevrolet Colorado Review
Chevrolet's compact pickup gets more power for 2007. Colorado shares its basic design with the GMC Canyon and Isuzu i-290/i-370, but differs in trim and details. Colorado offers regular and extended cab body styles in LS and LT models, and a 4-dr Crew Cab in LT form. All are available with rear-wheel drive or with 4-wheel drive that includes low-range gearing but should not be left engaged on dry pavement. Standard on most models is a 185-hp 2.9-liter 4-cyl engine; it replaces a 175-hp 2.8. Standard on 4WD Crews and optional on other Colorados is a 242-hp 3.7-liter 5-cyl; it replaces a 220-hp 3.5 5-cyl. Four-cyl models use manual or automatic transmission; 5-cyl versions are automatic only.
A three-person front bench seat is standard. Bucket seats are optional. Extended cabs have rear-hinged back doors and seat up to five with two rear jump seats. Crew Cabs seat up to six with a split folding rear bench. Regulars and extendeds have a 6-ft bed; Crew Cabs a 5-ft bed. ABS is standard. Curtain side airbags covering all seating rows are optional. Traction control is available with 2WD, as is a sport suspension. Offered on LT is an off-road suspension.

Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Compact Pickups offer a true-truck design in a relatively modest package. They are best suited for personal or light-duty use rather than commercial use, heavy hauling, or towing.
Our Best Buy is the Toyota Tacoma. Our Recommended picks are the Dodge Dakota and Honda Ridgeline.
New or significantly redesigned is the Ford Explorer Sport Trac.

News
Colorado had been rumored for a fairly major 2009 makeover, but sources now predict only a freshening for 2008. No word on what that involves, but we hope it includes cleaner styling and a 6-cyl engine option.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
With either transmission, 4-cyl has adequate power for around town driving, but lacks reserve for passing or hauling heavy loads. 5-cyl is sprightly with 2WD, adequate with 4WD. Engine well-matched to quick-shifting automatic transmission.
| 2WD ext. cab, 4-cyl auto | 4WD Crew Cab 5-cyl auto | Class Average |

Fuel Economy
In mostly highway driving, 2WD 4-cyl extended cab with automatic transmission averaged 21.1 mpg, while a 4WD 5-cyl crew cab with automatic averaged 19.8 mpg. No opportunity to measure with manual transmission.

Ride Quality
Better than most compact pickups. Still evident, however, are abrupt vertical motions over bumps and dips, with some jittery feel on badly broken surfaces. Base suspension furnishes best ride. Colorado and Canyon's available off-road and brutally stiff sport suspensions grow tiresome on long drives.

Steering/Handling/Braking
All corner with reasonable poise, though some testers find these trucks slow to react to steering inputs. Good straightline stability. 4WD models have noticeably larger turning radius than 2WD versions. Brakes provide quick, even stops with good pedal feel.

Quietness
Less wind and road noise than most competitors, though highway wind rush prominent around doors. Five-cyl engine louder, coarser than rivals' V6s.

Controls
GM and Isuzu versions have same basic dashboard design. Audio/climate controls simple to use, clearly marked. Gauges easy to read, but some digital readouts wash out in direct sunlight. Interior materials and fit-and-finish above average for the class. Still, some test models had a few squeaks and rattles from the dashboard area.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Lots of leg and head room. Seats adequately comfortable for long drives, though some testers complain of hard, flat seatbacks in entry-level versions. Middle seat for occasional use only.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Extended cab's rear seat best suits preteens; adults lack leg room even if front seats pushed well forward. Crew Cab more spacious, but leg room still no better than a subcompact sedan's. On both, rear seats hard and undersized, and entry/exit difficult through small door openings.

Cargo Room
Interior storage limited on regular cabs, good on extended and Crew Cabs with rear seats folded. Unique dual-position support cable allows tailgate to be secured partially open, permitting 4x8 sheets to be carried atop wheelwells with support from tailgate.

Value within Class
Chevrolet's Colorado and GMC's Canyon focus on the light-duty noncommercial user--assuming heavy haulers will move up to the larger Silverado and Sierra. Given that mission, these are useful, well-balanced small trucks. The nearly identical Isuzu i-290 and i-370 share their attributes, but a sparse dealer network and questions about Isuzu's long-term viability in the U.S. market blunt their value.

Price note: LT requires 1LT, 2LT, or 3LT Option Pkg.
Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.
