At the heart of every 2026 GMC Canyon is the TurboMax engine, producing an impressive 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of best-in-class standard gas engine torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it generates a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds on select trims. The Canyon's off-road suspension features a standard 2-inch factory lift with an ultra-wide front and rear track, while the AT4X steps things up further with a 3-inch factory lift.

Drivers can tailor their experience using a Drive Mode Selector that includes Normal, Terrain, Tow/Haul, and Off-Road modes. AT4X adds an exclusive Baja mode with launch control for high-performance off-road driving. The AT4X also boasts Multimatic DSSV dampers along with selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials for maximum traction on the toughest terrain.

Step inside the 2026 GMC Canyon and you'll find a cabin designed to balance comfort with purpose. The Elevation comes equipped with a durable CoreTec interior, while the AT4 adds Timber accents and available perforated leather-appointed front seats. The AT4X features an exclusive Obsidian Rush interior with Ceramic White accents and leather-appointed front seating. The premium Denali trim elevates the experience further with a Jet Black interior, Teak accents, and laser-etched open-pore wood trim.

An available 8-way power heated driver seat with power lumbar support ensures long-haul comfort, and an available Bose 7-speaker premium audio system fills the cabin with rich, detailed sound. Every Canyon trim is designed to make your time behind the wheel as enjoyable as the destination itself.

Available on the AT4X and Denali trims, up to 10 camera views — including segment-first underbody cameras with front- and rear-facing views beneath the vehicle — provide extraordinary visibility in and out of tight situations. The Denali also adds a 6.3-inch diagonal multicolor Head-Up Display for at-a-glance driving information.
