For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Colorado are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Colorado are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

The Colorado offers an optional Surround Vision to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Grenadier Quartermaster only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

The Colorado’s blind spot warning system uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them and moves the vehicle back into its lane. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a system to reveal objects in the driver’s blind spots.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Colorado’s standard Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side and Rear Cross Traffic Braking automatically engages the brakes to help avoid a collision. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

Both the Colorado and the Grenadier Quartermaster have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras and available all wheel drive.

Warranty

There are almost 145 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are INEOS dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Colorado’s warranty.

Engine

The Colorado’s 2.7 turbo 4-cylinder produces 28 more horsepower (310 vs. 282) and 98 lbs.-ft. more torque (430 vs. 332) than the Grenadier Quartermaster’s 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder.

Fuel Economy and Range

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Colorado’s fuel efficiency. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Chevrolet Colorado uses regular unleaded gasoline. The Grenadier Quartermaster requires premium, which can cost on average about 84.9 cents more per gallon.

The Colorado has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system or a tether to prevent losing the cap.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Colorado’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Grenadier Quartermaster:

	Colorado	Grenadier Quartermaster
Front Rotors	13.4 inches	12.4 inches
Rear Rotors	13.3 inches	12 inches

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Colorado ZR2 Bison’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Grenadier Quartermaster (315/70R17 vs. 265/70R17).

The Colorado Trail Boss’ optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Grenadier Quartermaster’s 70 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Colorado Trail Boss offers optional 22-inch wheels. The Grenadier Quartermaster’s largest wheels are only 18-inches.

The Colorado has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

Suspension and Handling

The Chevrolet Colorado’s independent front suspension is much lighter than the INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster’s solid front axle, which allows the Colorado’s wheels to react more quickly and accurately to the road’s surface, improving both ride and handling.

For much better steering response and tighter handling the Colorado has rack and pinion steering, like Formula racecars, instead of the recirculating-ball type steering of the Grenadier Quartermaster.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Colorado’s wheelbase is 4.4 inches longer than on the Grenadier Quartermaster (131.4 inches vs. 127 inches).

For better maneuverability, the Colorado LT 4x4’s turning circle is 6.1 feet tighter than the Grenadier Quartermaster’s (41.5 feet vs. 47.6 feet). The Colorado ZR2 Bison’s turning circle is 2.9 feet tighter than the Grenadier Quartermaster’s (44.7 feet vs. 47.6 feet).

For greater off-road capability the Colorado ZR2 Bison has a 1.8 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the Grenadier Quartermaster (12.2 vs. 10.4 inches), allowing the Colorado to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

Chassis

The Chevrolet Colorado may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 900 to 1500 pounds less than the INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster.

For excellent aerodynamics, the Colorado has standard flush composite headlights. The Grenadier Quartermaster has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

The front grille of the Colorado uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

Passenger Space

The Colorado has .9 inches more front headroom, 5.9 inches more front legroom and 4.3 inches more rear legroom than the Grenadier Quartermaster.

Cargo Capacity

The Grenadier Quartermaster’s spare tire is stored in the cargo area, where it diminishes the useable cargo capacity and interferes with loading and unloading. The Colorado’s spare is out of the way underneath.

A low lift-over bed design makes loading and unloading the Colorado easier. The Colorado’s bed lift-over height is 34.5 inches, while the Grenadier Quartermaster’s liftover is 35.6 inches.

The Colorado’s cargo box is larger than the Grenadier Quartermaster’s in almost every dimension:

	Colorado	Grenadier Quartermaster
Length (short/long)	61.7”	61.5”
Max Width	58.8”	63.7”
Min Width	45.5”	44.7”
Height	21.1”	n/a

The Chevrolet Colorado has a standard CornerStep, which allows for much easier access to the cargo area. The INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a rear cargo step.

The Colorado has stake post holes, to allow the containment of tall, light loads. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer stake post holes.

Servicing Ease

A maintenance reminder system is standard on the Colorado to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for oil changes, air filter replacement, and brake pad replacement, based on actual driving conditions. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer. INEOS doesn’t offer a maintenance reminder on the Grenadier Quartermaster.

Ergonomics

The Colorado offers a remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

When two different drivers share the Colorado (except WT/Trail Boss), the optional memory seats and mirrors make it convenient for both. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver’s seat position and outside mirror angle. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a memory system.

The Colorado (except WT/Trail Boss)’s optional easy entry system glides the driver’s seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The Colorado’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Grenadier Quartermaster does not have an oil pressure gauge.

The Colorado’s power parking brake sets with one touch and releases with one touch or automatically. The Grenadier Quartermaster has a lever-type parking brake that has to be strenuously raised to engage properly. It has to be lifted up more and a button depressed to release it.

The Colorado’s standard power windows have a locking feature to keep children in the rear seat from operating them, but the driver can still raise and lower all of them with the lock engaged. INEOS does not offer a locking feature on the Grenadier Quartermaster’s standard power windows.

The Colorado’s optional driver’s power window opens or closes with one touch of the window control. The Grenadier Quartermaster’s driver’s power window switch has to be held the entire time to close it fully.

In case you lock your keys in your vehicle, or don’t have them with you, you can let yourself in using the Colorado’s available exterior PIN entry system. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an exterior PIN entry system.

The Push Button Start standard on the Colorado allows you to start the engine without removing the key from the pocket or purse. The INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an advanced key system. The Colorado’s optional Keyless Access also allows you to unlock the doors from either front outside door handle.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the Colorado detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.

The Colorado’s optional rear view mirror has an automatic dimming feature. This mirror can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on it, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer the luxury of an automatic dimming rear view mirror.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the Colorado (except WT/Trail Boss) keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

On extremely cold winter days, the Colorado’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the vehicle heater warms up. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

The Colorado offers an optional center folding armrest for the rear passengers. A center armrest helps make rear passengers more comfortable and it can provide a boundary between children. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a rear seat center armrest.

The Colorado’s optional dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer dual zone air conditioning.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the Colorado offers an optional Adaptive Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Chevrolet Colorado offers an optional wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the front center console. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer wireless personal charging.

Model Availability

The Colorado is available in both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a two-wheel drive configuration.
