2020 Chevrolet Colorado - Electric Vehicle Guide

The 2020 Chevrolet Colorado belongs to a Chevrolet Colorado lineup that Know Your Ride tracks across 8 model years, from 2004 to 2026. It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion Colorado entirely. It is configured as rear-wheel drive with an automatic 6-spd. The 2020 sits mid-run, with both earlier (2004) and later (2026) Colorado model years also documented.

The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, separate from the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, DOT 3 brake fluid, Dex-Cool battery/cabin coolant, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil. Know Your Ride lists 15 scheduled maintenance items for this vehicle, the earliest interval falling at 7,500 miles. Documented torque values include lug nut 120 ft-lb.

NHTSA complaints for this vehicle cluster around power train (27), unknown or other (11), engine (6). A representative report reads: "While driving at any speed when steering wheel is at the 1 to 2 o' clock position on a right turn, steering wheel wobbles and regardless of road condition...."

Estimated annual charging cost runs near $2,400.
