How big are the seats in the Chevy Colorado?
The seats in the Chevy Colorado are designed to accommodate typical adult passengers with front bucket seating and a rear bench in Crew Cab configurations. Overall seat size varies by cab type and trim, with Crew Cab models offering more rear-seat room than Regular or Extended Cab versions.
Seat configurations by cab type
The Colorado’s seating layout changes with the body style, which in turn affects how big the seats feel and how many people they can carry.
- Regular Cab: Two front seats; no rear seating in this configuration.
- Extended Cab (Xtra Cab): Front bucket seats; rear jump seats or small rear seats for two passengers.
- Crew Cab: Front bucket seats; full-width rear bench seat for up to three passengers.
These configurations influence perceived seat size and available rear passenger space. In practice, Crew Cab versions tend to feel roomier in the rear, while Regular Cab versions offer more cargo space but less rear seating.
Interior measurements GM publishes
GM does not commonly publish exact seat width in inches; instead, interior space is shown through overall headroom, legroom, shoulder room and hip room. Here are representative ranges for recent Colorado models to help gauge fit between trims and cab configurations:
- Front headroom: roughly 39 to 41 inches
- Front legroom: about 41 inches
- Front shoulder room: around 56 inches
- Front hip room: about 54 inches
- Rear headroom: approximately 38 to 40 inches
- Rear legroom (Crew Cab): roughly 34 to 36 inches
- Rear legroom (Extended Cab): roughly 30 to 34 inches
Not all years or trims are identical, and exact figures can vary by model year and specific configuration. For precise numbers, consult the official spec sheet for your exact year and cab or measure the seats in person.
Are the seats comfortable for long trips?
Most drivers find the front seats comfortable with adequate support and adjustable lumbar options on higher trims. The rear bench in Crew Cab models is usable for adults, but legroom and cargo space are tighter than in many full-size pickups, so comfort may vary on longer drives.
How to get exact numbers for your Colorado
To ensure you have the precise measurements for your specific truck, identify the model year and cab configuration and then pull the official interior dimensions from Chevrolet’s spec sheets or a dealership. If you prefer, you can measure the seats yourself with a tape measure and compare to your usual fit needs.
- Identify the exact model year and cab configuration (Regular, Extended, or Crew Cab).
- Look up the official interior dimensions for that year and trim on Chevrolet’s website or GM’s spec sheets.
- Record front and rear headroom, legroom, shoulder room and hip room to compare with your size and seating preferences.
- If needed, measure the seats in person: width across the cushion, depth from front edge to backrest, and height from floor to the top of the seat cushion.
Using these steps will yield accurate, year-specific measurements for the seat sizes in your Chevy Colorado.
Summary
Seat size in the Chevy Colorado varies by cab configuration and year. Front seats tend to be comfortable bucket seats across trims, while rear-seat space is most generous in Crew Cab models and more restricted in Regular and Extended Cab variants. For precise, year-specific numbers, consult the official spec sheets for your exact Colorado or measure the seats directly.
