The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado introduces a comprehensive set of technical features that position it as a capable midsize pickup for utility and adaptability. Built with driver-centric systems and multi-surface engineering, this truck integrates mechanical precision with digital control systems. Multiple trim levels support an array of enhancements, many of which are available as optional equipment.
Integrated Infotainment and Connectivity Tools
The truck's infotainment system uses a color LED touchscreen interface, supporting Bluetooth® pairing and smartphone integration. Users can connect via Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ using either a wireless connection or a USB data cable. The system includes application shortcuts, customizable home screen icons, and multitouch navigation between screens.
Google built-in is available and includes access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play. Google Assistant can be activated using a dedicated button or a voice command. Map services adjust routes based on traffic conditions and recent destinations. Google Play allows app downloads for in-cabin media access.
A Wi-Fi hotspot is available and supports up to seven connected devices. Network credentials can be retrieved through the infotainment settings under the Connections tab. SiriusXM® with 360L adds further digital media access across music, sports, talk, and entertainment categories.
Engine Functionality and Drive System Controls
The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado offers selectable Drive Modes that adapt the truck's performance profile based on driving demands. These include Normal, Off-Road, Terrain, Tow/Haul, and Baja, with the latter exclusive to the ZR2 model. Each mode alters vehicle parameters such as throttle response, traction input, and drivetrain behavior. Terrain Mode supports one-pedal driving by automatically engaging the brakes when the accelerator input decreases. This allows more control during low-speed, technical off-road movement.
The four-wheel drive system offers multiple configurations: Two-Wheel Drive High for everyday use, Four-Wheel Drive High for extra traction, and Four-Wheel Drive Low for high-demand off-road or steep-grade conditions. An automatic setting adjusts between two- and four-wheel drive as traction needs change. A Neutral mode is included for flat towing applications. Shift status appears in the Driver Information Center.
Hill Descent Control maintains consistent speed when descending steep inclines between 1 and 19 mph. Drivers can adjust the set speed using the accelerator or cruise control buttons. This feature engages in both forward and reverse travel.
Cabin Function and Digital Management Systems
Interior systems focus on utility and vehicle awareness. The Digital Driver Information Center allows users to manage trip data, customize gauge clusters, and access maintenance alerts. Options such as engine oil pressure, coolant temperature, tire pressure, and battery voltage can be configured for on-screen monitoring. Trip odometer resets, and drive summary statistics are also available.
Seat adjustment and memory features permit custom positioning for the driver. Once stored, profiles can be recalled using door-mounted buttons. Seat memory can activate automatically during vehicle entry or exit. Mirror positions are also stored with seat configurations.
The center console houses the Engine Start/Stop button, an electric parking brake switch, and a wireless phone charging pad. The electric parking brake engages with a pull of the switch and disengages by pressing the brake pedal and then the switch. The wireless charger activates automatically with screen-up placement of a compatible device.
Exterior Lighting and Visibility Enhancements
Lighting systems are controlled via the infotainment screen under the Lights menu. Automatic headlamps respond to ambient light changes. IntelliBeam® activates high beams when driving above 25 mph and deactivates them automatically based on traffic. Symbols on the instrument cluster confirm the status of these systems.
Multiple camera views support exterior awareness. The rear vision camera displays behind-vehicle images when in reverse. The optional Surround Vision system uses several cameras to generate a composite image of the truck's surroundings. Top-down, side, front, and underbody views can be selected using touchscreen icons.
Climate Control and Cabin Environment
The dual-zone automatic climate control system manages air delivery using defrost, vent, and floor settings. Temperature adjustments for the driver and passenger are controlled separately. Heated and ventilated seat options are managed through seat-mounted buttons or via the touchscreen.
Recirculation, air conditioning, and rear defrost are available through hard buttons or touchscreen controls. Fan speed and airflow distribution adjust independently for each side of the cabin, allowing consistent thermal control under varied external conditions.
Safety Monitoring and Collision Avoidance Systems
Forward Collision Alert detects vehicles ahead and activates warnings based on closing speed. It uses color-coded icons and audio alerts to signal risk levels. Alert timing can be adjusted to Far, Medium, or Near settings. Automatic Emergency Braking works with this system to apply braking pressure when a collision is imminent.
The Following Distance Indicator calculates the time gap in seconds to the vehicle ahead. Lane Keep Assist monitors lane markings and applies corrective steering when drifting is detected. A visual indicator turns amber when the system intervenes.
Blind Zone Steering Assist alerts the driver to vehicles in adjacent lanes and can initiate a brief corrective steer if an unintended lane change occurs. Rear Cross-Traffic Braking engages when reversing into approaching traffic. Rear Park Assist provides audio signals as objects are detected closer to the vehicle. Rear Pedestrian Alert operates during daylight conditions and warns of movement directly behind the vehicle.
Trailering Control and Haul Management
The Advanced Trailering System integrates trailer profiles, a hitching checklist, theft alerts, and light tests through the infotainment screen. These settings are accessible once a trailer profile is created and paired.
Integrated Trailer Brake Control is managed through a panel to the left of the steering wheel. Trailer gain can be increased or decreased using the adjustment buttons. Manual brake application is available by squeezing the control handle.
Hitch Guidance can be toggled on-screen when reversing to align the hitch with a trailer tongue. Drive Mode selections also support towing, optimizing transmission behavior, and engine response for heavy load movement.
Chassis Balance and Traction Programs
The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado includes a standard Traction Control System that limits wheelspin during acceleration. StabiliTrak, the truck's electronic stability program, assists in maintaining directional control under adverse conditions. Both systems are active each time the vehicle is started and can be turned off through infotainment screen settings if needed for controlled wheel slip or vehicle rocking.
Vehicle customization menus allow drivers to toggle features such as Buckle to Drive, exterior lighting behavior, traction programs, and IntelliBeam® through the Controls and Settings interfaces.
Secure Entry and Remote Management
The Keyless Access System allows door and tailgate unlocking within a 3-foot radius when the key fob is nearby. Locking occurs either manually through door buttons or automatically when the key is removed and all doors are closed. Remote Start activates the engine and climate control system for up to 15 minutes. The process can be repeated to extend this period. Cancellation is available via the fob.
Ignition control is keyless and push-button operated. Accessory Mode can be activated without starting the engine by pressing the Start/Stop button without engaging the brake.
Driver Support and Digital Tools On Demand
The myChevrolet mobile app offers remote features that mirror in-cabin controls, including engine start, lock and unlock, vehicle diagnostics, and parking location tracking. The app is available on select iOS and Android platforms, with functionality dependent on data plan and device compatibility.
