Webb Chevy Plainfield | (815) 436-2071 | 16140 S Lincoln Hwy, Plainfield, IL 60586
The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado runs a single, potent powertrain across every trim — the 2.7L TurboMax. For Plainfield and Joliet drivers weighing a midsize truck, here is exactly what that engine delivers.
Quick Answer
The 2026 Colorado uses a 2.7L TurboMax four-cylinder making 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque with an 8-speed automatic. That 430 lb-ft is best-in-class standard torque, and the truck tows up to 7,700 lbs. Available at Webb Chevy Plainfield — call (815) 436-2071.
How much power does the 2026 Colorado make?
The 2.7L TurboMax produces 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque — the best-in-class standard torque figure in the midsize segment. Power routes through an 8-speed automatic, and that torque arrives low in the rev range, which is what you feel merging onto I-55 with a trailer behind you.
| Metric | 2026 Colorado |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.7L TurboMax I-4 |
| Horsepower | 310 hp |
| Torque | 430 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Max towing | Up to 7,700 lbs |
Is one engine enough across all trims?
Yes — from the WT work truck to the ZR2, every Colorado gets the full 310 hp. There is no penalty engine on the base trim, so a Bolingbrook contractor buying a WT gets the same output as an adventure buyer in a Z71.
