GM plans a mild-hybrid Chevrolet Colorado for Brazil, featuring a 2.8L Duramax diesel engine with 209 hp, marking a first in mid-size pickups.

GM is reportedly planning to launch a hybrid version of the Chevrolet Colorado MHEV for the Brazilian market.

According to preliminary information, this pickup variant will feature the recently updated 2.8-liter I4 Duramax turbo-diesel engine, developed by GM's local engineering team, paired with a new mild-hybrid system. In the Colorado MHEV configuration, this powertrain will deliver 209 horsepower.

If confirmed, this would mark the world's first Chevrolet mid-size pickup with mild-hybrid drive. While GM's current mid-size pickup lineup lacks hybrid powertrains, the Colorado MHEV aligns with the electrification strategy announced by the company's Brazilian division.

Further details about the new Chevrolet Colorado MHEV version will be revealed closer to its debut in the Brazilian market.
