There are three engine options with the 2020 Colorado. The base four-cylinder 2.5-liter engine, which comes standard on the Base, WT, and LT trims, produces 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. The mid-level 3.6-liter V-6 engine produces 308 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. This engine works well if you're looking to tow a trailer. The 2.8-liter turbodiesel offers the best gas mileage and produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. The base and turbodiesel engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, while the V-6 features an eight-speed automatic transmission.

When it comes to gas mileage, the Colorado's base engine gets an estimated 20 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The numbers decrease if you opt for the V-6 engine, as it gets an estimated 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The most fuel-efficient option is the turbodiesel, which gets an estimated 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. </br> The vehicle's towing capacity depends on the powertrain.
