The surprise is the ZR2: its base price rises just $100 over the current 2026 sticker, but matching the outgoing truck’s comfort features costs more. There is also more power across the lineup. Before calling the ZR2 a bargain, though, take a close look at what Chevrolet moved onto the options list. ## 2027 Chevrolet Colorado pricing by trim ![Previous-model Chevrolet Colorado Trail Boss driving on a dirt road]() Previous-model Colorado Trail Boss shown for illustration, not a 2027 model. Photo courtesy of Chevrolet. [Chevrolet’s 2027 Colorado page]() lists starting prices before freight. Its [official destination-charge page]() confirms another $2,095 for both model years. The totals below match [GM Authority’s Oct. 24 pricing breakdown](). | 2027 Colorado | Base MSRP | With destination | | --- | --- | --- | | WT 2WD | $33,500 | $35,595 | | WT 4WD | $36,700 | $38,795 | | LT 2WD | $36,900 | $38,995 | | LT 4WD | $40,300 | $42,395 | | Trail Boss 4WD | $41,600 | $43,695 | | Z71 4WD | $45,800 | $47,895 | | ZR2 4WD | $50,800 | $52,895 | These are U.S. prices before options, taxes, title, license and dealer fees. They are not out-the-door quotes or advertised discounts. WT and LT buyers should also compare the same drivetrain: the cheapest Colorado is a two-wheel-drive truck. ## The ZR2’s $100 increase comes with an equipment catch ![Dashboard and front seats of a 2023 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2]() 2023 Colorado ZR2 interior shown. This archive photo does not represent the standard equipment on a 2027 truck. Photo courtesy of Chevrolet. Compared with [Chevrolet’s current 2026 starting prices](), the 2027 WT 2WD and Trail Boss each rise $1,100, the LT 2WD rises $900 and the Z71 rises $1,200. The ZR2 moves from $52,795 to $52,895 including destination, a $100 increase. WT 4WD and LT 4WD each rise $1,000, using [the revised October 2026 prices](). That comparison uses the latest 2026 pricing, not the original model-year launch prices. Freight is unchanged, and each comparison keeps the trim and drivetrain the same. Standard equipment is another matter. As [GM Authority’s equipment-change report explains](), the ZR2 moves previously standard perforated leather-appointed seats, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, driver memory and wireless charging into Convenience Package III. The package costs $1,320 for 2027. It also adds a new six-way power passenger seat and power passenger lumbar adjustment, which were not standard on the 2026 truck. Base price plus that package comes to $54,215 including destination, before other options and fees. That is $1,420 above the current 2026 ZR2 base price, with the added passenger-seat functionality. In other words, the $100 headline increase is not an equally equipped comparison. ## Custom is a WT package, and other options add up ![2023 Chevrolet Colorado LT parked outside a house]() 2023 Colorado LT shown for illustration. It is not the 2027 WT Custom configuration. Photo courtesy of Chevrolet. Chevrolet displays Custom as a separate model card at $34,645 before destination, or $36,740 with freight. The price is a WT 2WD plus the $1,145 WT Custom Package, which adds black 18-inch wheels and black badging. Custom also appears on Chevrolet’s 2026 page, so it is not a newly introduced 2027 trim. The separate WT Custom Appearance Package is another $2,150. Do not confuse that dealer-installed bundle with the $1,145 Custom package behind Chevy’s advertised starting price. A few other notable prices from GM Authority’s package list: - LT Convenience Package: $3,570. - Trail Boss Convenience Package II: $2,425. - ZR2 Bison Edition package: $10,200, including a listed $1,500 package discount. Those are package prices, not complete-truck totals. Check required combinations and the final equipment list in [Chevrolet’s configurator]() before comparing a dealer’s truck with a base MSRP. ## More power is standard, not a ZR2 upgrade ![Engine bay of a previous-model Chevrolet Colorado with a 2.7-liter turbocharged engine]() Outgoing Colorado engine shown for reference, not the revised 2027 engine. Photo by Aaron Turpen. Chevrolet now rates the 2027 Colorado’s standard 2.7-liter TurboMax at 350 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. That is 40 horsepower and 20 pound-feet more than the 2026 engine. The upgrade is included on the WT, too; buying a ZR2 is not necessary to get it. That answers the engine question in our [earlier look at the 2027 Colorado changes](). Chevrolet lists a new turbocharger, updated fuel injection, thermal-management changes and redesigned pistons. Whether that produces a meaningful improvement behind the wheel will take a road test. The bottom line: more standard power makes the 2027 Colorado worth a look, but compare the truck you actually want to buy. A leftover 2026 with the right equipment and a discount could still be the better deal. For ZR2 shoppers in particular, the comfort-package change matters more than the small increase in the advertised starting price. ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "2027 Chevrolet Colorado pricing: ZR2’s $100 hike has a catch", "datePublished": "2026-10-27T10:00:00+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/" }, "wordCount": 689, "commentCount": 0, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/colorado-turbomax-news-2.webp", "keywords": [ "2027 Chevrolet Colorado", "2027 Chevy Colorado", "chevrolet colorado", "chevy colorado", "TurboMax" ], "articleSection": [ "Buyer's Guide", "Featured on Home Page", "News", "What's New" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/", "name": "2027 Chevrolet Colorado pricing: ZR2’s $100 hike has a catch", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#website" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/#primaryimage" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2026/10/2027-chevrolet-colorado-pricing/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/colorado-turbomax-news-2.webp", "datePublished": "2026-10-27T10:00:00+00:00", "description": "2027 Chevrolet Colorado pricing starts at $35,595 with destination.
