The 2025 GMC Canyon is powered by a 2.7L Turbo high-output engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque-more power than the Toyota Tacoma (278 hp / 317 lb-ft) and Ford Ranger (270 hp / 310 lb-ft). This class-leading torque makes the Canyon a capable workhorse for hauling and towing.

Every Canyon comes standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission and Tow/Haul Mode for confident control during heavy loads. Optional off-road suspension and 4WD packages are available to tackle backcountry adventures. Whether you're commuting in the city or heading out on weekend trips, the Canyon's turbocharged engine delivers the performance you need.
