The 2026 GMC Canyon features a 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. That muscular output translates to real-world capability-quick acceleration with cargo, confident highway merging, and strong trailer pulling power.

With an automatic transmission providing smooth power delivery and standard rear-wheel drive, the Canyon feels genuinely commanding compared to other midsize trucks. An available diesel powertrain option is also offered for drivers prioritizing torque and fuel efficiency on demanding work and adventure.
