The 2020 Chevrolet Colorado comes with a comprehensive roster of standard equipment, regardless of the trim level and configuration you choose. One of the standard upgrades that might matter most to consumers is the connectivity availability. So, does the Colorado come with Android Auto? We investigated a little further about the pickup’s tech options to find out.

What is Android Auto?

Take your Google Assistant on the road with you wherever you go. Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road while you use your voice to tap into all things tech and driver assistance. Make and receive calls from your contact lists. Read your text messages out loud and even respond, all by voice-command.

Get real-time traffic alerts, avoid road hazards, and find your fastest routes by simply asking Google to do so. Access your phone’s calendar reminders or get weather updates in your driving area. You can find nearby restaurants for lunch or gas stations in unfamiliar territory, all by saying, “Ok, Google.”

What is Apple CarPlay?

For iPhone users, Apple offers Apple CarPlay for similar features to that of the Android Auto assistant. Use Siri’s voice control while you’re driving to stay connected without taking your hands off the wheel. Siri is also coordinated with knobs and touchpads, so easy tapping can get you started too.

Predictive response to addresses in your emails, texts, or calendars will help navigate you to your destination. The maps are more detailed and can offer turn-by-turn navigation. Access your calendars, spoken directions, or find nearby points of interest.

Which assistant comes standard in Colorado?

So, which phone connectivity assistant is available on the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado? Both of them are! So, regardless of which tech camp you prefer, or if you plan to change from one to the other over the course of your pickup ownership, you’ll be connected. With Colorado, you’ll enjoy the features of either assistant platform, and know you’ll always have available info at your fingertips and sound of your voice. What once was considered a more luxury feature, has now become a Chevy standard.

Other enhanced tech and infotainment options

The Chevy Colorado comes with a menu of standard tech and infotainment, in addition to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other standard features include 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, and a 7-inch touch screen for base models. You can opt for upgrades to 8-inch screens for the most attractive layouts and access to the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium system.

Customize your touchscreen menu homepage and personalize your experience to include your favorites. Use the MyLink app on your device to help organize your vehicle’s tech, performance, and available music or book libraries too.

Teen Driver

You’ll love the Teen Driver system if you have secondary drivers. This is a standard feature for all Colorado models and a must-have if you plan to have teens in the driver’s seat. It allows you to monitor speeds and audio volume for rookie family members behind the wheel. Control reminders for seatbelts and download ‘report cards’ for your vehicle’s performance.

You can track when your Colorado’s driver-assist functions were activated, like Forward Collision Alert or Forward Automatic Braking. Having tech like this is like having a driving coach with your young drivers every time they hit the road.

If you’re considering a new 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, you can rest assured in knowing that even the most basic models will offer the connectivity you need. You’ll have connectivity options for the Android and Apple devices, along with customizable apps to help design your ideal preferences.

“Ok, Google, let’s buy a Colorado.”
