Chevrolet is known for class-leading pickups with the longest-lasting, most dependable trucks on the market, but the latest findings put the 2016 Colorado diesel on a new level.
Chevrolet confirmed the Environmental Protection Agency’s estimation regarding the fuel economy for the ’16 Colorado diesel — 31 mpg for FWD models. This makes the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado diesel the most fuel-efficient pickup truck in the United States.
“The Colorado Duramax diesel is in a league of its own,” Sandor Piszar, director of Chevrolet Truck Marketing, said. “Colorado’s gas models already led the segment in fuel efficiency, and the new diesel — which no other non-GM competitor offers on a midsize truck — gives customers even greater freedom to go where they want with fewer fill-ups.”
An all-new diesel engine was designed just for this model year Colorado. Chevy’s engineers helped create the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel engine. This Duramax engine generates 181 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque. Those who opt for the four-wheel drive don’t sacrifice much as driver’s can still get up to 29 mpg on the highway (23 mpg combined).
