What’s New With the 2026 Chevy Colorado?
The 2026 Colorado is largely a carryover model from 2025 with minimal updates.

The High Gloss Black aluminum wheels (RPO NZM) are available on Trail Boss models, while Painted aluminum wheels with machined face and gray-painted pockets (RPO NZN) are offered on Z71 trims. The Colorado also added the Midnight Edition package across Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 trims for those seeking a more aggressive, darkened appearance.
