Dark Intentions: 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Midnight Edition Revealed

2016 Chevrolet Colorado Midnight Edition

-

General Motors has discovered that there is plenty of business to drum up after midnight. Not literally, of course, but the automaker has announced that the “Midnight Edition” darkened trim packages for the Chevy Impala and the Cadillac CTS and ATS now will be joined by one for the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. This in addition to thematically similar versions of the Chevrolet Silverado (“Black Out“), GMC Sierra (“Elevation“), and GMC Canyon (“Nightfall“).

As with every other Midnight Edition—Chevrolet, Cadillac, or otherwise—the Colorado comes ready to evade nighttime air raids. The grille, Chevy bowtie, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and various trim bits are all painted black, while the spray-in bedliner and tonneau cover are, of course, both black. The only available paint color? Black. While helpful to owners looking for a sinister vibe, we must point out that the Midnight Edition is woefully inadequate for maintaining a low profile at the midnight hour on or near the summer solstice in places like Alaska or Norway.

The sacrifice to embrace darkness is a small one, with the Midnight package requiring only that buyers step past the base Colorado Work Truck and into a mid-level LT. It’s available in both the extended- or crew-cab body style. Any of the Colorado’s three engines (including the new 2.8-liter diesel) are fair game, as is optional four-wheel drive. Pricing will be announced at a later date.
