Chevy unveiled the 2021 Chevy Colorado facelift sometime back and it comes with a few aesthetic upgrades that would keep it fresh until the next-gen arrives. According to GMAuthority, Chevy will also be introducing three new packages solely focused on aesthetics. These packages will certainly add a nice zing to the new Colorado. Will these packages help the Colorado inch closer to the Toyota Tacoma in terms of sales figures?

The package details are mentioned below, but not all packages are available on every trim.

What We Know About The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado So Far

Speaking of the 2021 Colorado, it comes with only a few changes, but all of them do make the truck look fresh. On the outside and inside, the highlights include:

-* An even sharper looking ZR2 trim

All the drivetrains are carried over without any power output changes. The ZR2 receives a few mechanical changes:

-* ZR2 now features a two-inch suspension lift, a 3.5-inch wider track, etc.

-* The best-in-segment towing capacity of 7,700 pounds

Final Thoughts

The Colorado sales are consistent, but it hasn’t been a breakthrough product for GM despite its popularity. It is still far from the number of Tacomas sold annually. The 2021 model and these appearance packages might give it a small boost, but you can’t expect a lot out of it. Chevy Colorado’s twin cousin, the GMC Canyon looks far better at this point. GMC even introduced the new AT4 off-road trim that could be a big hit. The new Denali looks impressive as well. Although it is a premium offering, the Canyon is more accomplished and will be better in the long run.

GM is even offering interest-free financing on GMC Canyon to increase sales during the pandemic. Assuming that it’ll take the industry a long time to recover, the same could be offered on the 2021 Canyon as well. At this point, the interest-free options are not available on Chevrolet products. So, that would make the Canyon a better deal price-wise as well.
