The 2026 GMC Canyon combines nimble size with serious capability. It comes standard with a 310-horsepower TurboMax engine delivering best-in-class standard gas torque, plus a factory two-inch lift and wide track for confident off-road performance.

The Canyon includes advanced tech like up to 14 camera views (including segment-first underbody cameras on AT4X), an Off-Road Performance Display, and available factory lifts with selectable drive modes. You get professional-grade capability in a more agile package than larger trucks.
