What Infotainment Center Is Found in the 2025 Chevy Colorado?
All occupants can get in and out of the Colorado with ease, as it only comes in a four-door iteration. Inside, it’s spacious and comfortable. Everything is within reach, including the cupholders, located right in front of the center console. Physical controls are chunky, durable and intuitive. There’s plenty of hard plastic to be found here, but it will hold up well for years.
While the headroom is smaller by an inch as compared to last year’s model,, it’s barely noticeable, as leg and shoulder room are about the same.
There is an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen system across all trims with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two USB ports and 12-volt outlets. Available as a subscription service is Google’s built-in for greater navigation and entertainment. Six speakers come standard, but a larger Bose system is available for higher trims.
