Engineered for the South Jersey Drive: 2026 Chevrolet Colorado Fuel Economy

Blue 2026 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 pickup truck driving through desert sand dunes.

Whether you’re navigating the morning rush on Route 42, heading to the Deptford Mall, or commuting from Sicklerville to Cherry Hill, you need a truck that balances hard-working capability with smart efficiency. The midsize truck class demands resilience, and Chevrolet has met the challenge. The 2026 Chevrolet Colorado combines aggressive capability with efficient engineering, ensuring you never have to choose between raw power and your wallet at the pump.

At Chevrolet Of Turnersville, we know that local drivers want a truck built with time-tested strength that still makes sense for the daily commute. Let’s explore the new Chevrolet Colorado fuel economy and see how this pickup leads its class.

 


2026 Chevrolet Colorado Miles Per Gallon by Configuration

How many new Chevrolet Colorado miles per gallon can you expect on your drives around Glassboro and Williamstown? Your exact fuel economy depends on your choice of drivetrain and trim level. Two-wheel drive (2WD) models offer maximum efficiency for highway cruising, while the rugged four-wheel drive (4WD) configurations trade a fraction of fuel economy for relentless all-terrain grip.

Here’s the breakdown of the EPA-estimated ratings for each 2026 Chevy Colorado configuration:

Trim Level & Drivetrain EPA-Estimated City MPG EPA-Estimated Highway MPG EPA-Estimated Combined MPG
WT (Work Truck) 2WD 19 23 20
LT 2WD 19 23 20
WT (Work Truck) 4WD 17 22 19
LT 4WD 17 22 19
Trail Boss 4WD 17 20 18
Z71 4WD 17 20 18
ZR2 4WD 17 17 17

*Keep in mind: Actual fuel economy will vary. The EPA-estimated ratings provided represent standard base configurations. Opting for additional equipment, such as heavy-duty trailering packages, aggressive off-road tires, or dealer-installed accessories, can increase vehicle weight and aerodynamic drag, which may lower your overall fuel efficiency. Always verify the exact EPA fuel economy estimates on the Monroney sticker for the specific model and configuration on our lot.

Whether you choose the street-smart WT 2WD for commuting through Turnersville or the off-road-focused ZR2 for weekend adventures far beyond the suburbs, the Colorado is engineered to optimize every drop of fuel.

Under the Hood: Power Meets Precision with the TurboMax® Engine

We’re obsessed with the craft of engineering. Chevrolet didn’t compromise on performance to achieve these competitive fuel economy numbers. Every 2026 Colorado comes equipped with a single, highly advanced powertrain: the 2.7L TurboMax® engine mated to a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission.

This engine doesn’t feel like a typical four-cylinder. It brings heavy-duty design features directly to the midsize segment, offering:

  • Horsepower: 310 hp
  • Torque: 430 lb-ft (best-in-class standard torque)
  • Maximum Towing Capacity: Up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped

This means you can easily tow your boat or trailer down to the shore, haul landscaping gear to Washington Lake Park, or tackle tough job sites in Deptford without breaking a sweat, or breaking your budget on gas. By delivering peak torque at low RPMs, the TurboMax® engine ensures you’ve got instantaneous power when passing on the highway, all while maintaining excellent highway efficiency.
