How much does the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado cost?

Prices have softened 6.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

Is the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado earns a 4.75/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Technology and Safety.

The Colorado fits you well if you want a midsize truck that leans toward recreation without giving up everyday usability. Its strengths include easy-to-use technology, refined on-road handling, and impressive off-road handling. The trade-offs are a drab cabin, only one cab/bed style, and a high price.

With 32.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Colorado’s design and equipment focus on modern usability, and its turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain is described as delivering solid low-end power with responsive pickup. The eight-speed automatic also does a good job of managing power at different speeds.

Its ownership picture is helped by the fact that the truck is built around well-equipped trims and mainstream mechanicals rather than a complicated setup. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the truck’s higher purchase price can make condition and maintenance history especially important.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Chevrolet Colorado?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a truck that may have seen trail use or heavy weekend-duty miles. Focus on cabin condition, suspension wear, and signs of hard use, since this model is positioned more as a lifestyle pickup than a basic work truck.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The WT is the base model, but it still includes a fully digital instrument panel, an 11.3-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, and satellite radio. It keeps cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats, while the LT adds more convenience features and is the value-oriented choice.
• Powertrain: The Colorado comes exclusively with turbocharged four-cylinder power. The base version makes 237 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, while the Turbo Max version makes 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. Both use an eight-speed automatic transmission.
• Safety package: Standard driver assistance includes automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and Teen Driver. LT Convenience Package III adds reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: You get an 11.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, an 11-inch fully digital instrument panel, two front USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, and satellite radio. Wireless charging and extra USB and power outlets arrive on higher trims or packages.
• Fuel efficiency: The base rear-wheel-drive version returns 20 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. The four-wheel-drive version returns 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. The standard ZR2 returns 17 mpg across the board, and the ZR2 Bison returns 16 mpg across the board.

Which 2024 Chevrolet Colorado trim should I buy?

The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado is offered in 5 trim levels: WT, LT, Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2.

Here's the short version:

• WT: This is the entry point, but it is not stripped down in the old-school sense. You get the core tech and safety features, so it works if you want the lowest-cost path into the lineup and can live with basic seats and upholstery.
• LT: This is the best-value trim. It adds useful everyday upgrades like alloy wheels, a remote locking tailgate, rear air vents, a rear USB port, and a full front center console, and it becomes even more appealing with the Convenience Package.
• Trail Boss: Choose this if you want a more off-road-focused setup without jumping all the way to the top end. It adds a lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, hill-descent control, and an automatically locking rear differential.
• Z71: This trim builds on the off-road theme with additional chassis enhancements, unique upholstery, heated power-adjustable side mirrors, and red front recovery hooks.
• ZR2: This is the most trail-ready version, with more off-road hardware, remote start, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power-assisted tailgate, and a spray-on bed-liner.

The LT Convenience Package III adds reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, so it meaningfully improves the safety package on higher-spec builds.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Chevrolet Colorado?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,800 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.19% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $35,920, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado's resale value?

The current average of $37,228 sits slightly below last year's $39,683.

That decline suggests the market has eased, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also temper near-term resale upside if you plan to sell soon. For a future seller, the key is to buy well and keep the truck in strong condition so you’re not competing from a weak starting price. Because the Colorado still has broad appeal as a modern midsize truck, clean examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado safe?

The Colorado earns four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover, and five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver assistance includes automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and Teen Driver. LT Convenience Package III adds reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, while adaptive cruise control is available on certain trim levels.

The main caveat is the rollover result, which trails the truck’s stronger side-crash performance.

Should I buy a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.19% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It emphasizes recreation-focused trims, easy-to-use tech, and refined on-road manners.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $33,725, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $37,228 average.
• It focuses on basics with modern tech and strong capability.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $39,812, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $37,228 average.
• It broadens appeal with a powerful standard engine and more off-road-oriented options.

The bottom line: If you want the most balanced mix of modern tech, strong capability, and a softer market price, the 2024 is the best primary target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2023 is the smarter value play, while the 2025 makes sense only if you want to pay more for the newer-year setup.
