Key Features of the 2026 GMC Canyon

TurboMax Engine With Best-in-Class Standard Gas Engine Torque

The heart of every Canyon is the TurboMax engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of best-in-class standard gas engine torque. That abundant low-end twist is what makes towing up to 7,700 lbs feel composed, merging feel brisk, and highway grades feel manageable even when loaded. The powertrain’s tuning emphasizes responsiveness at everyday speeds, and the truck’s broad torque plateau helps maintain stability when you need to pass or climb. Paired with integrated trailering technology, including the ProGrade® Trailering System and an HD Rear Vision Camera with Hitch View, the Canyon supports safer, simpler hitching and confident towing performance. It’s the kind of power you notice not just at full throttle, but every time you pull away from a light with gear in the bed or a trailer on the ball.

Factory Lift, Wide Track, and AT4X Off-Road Hardware

A standard 2-inch factory lift and wide track give every Canyon a planted, purposeful stance and improved ground clearance for uneven job sites and trailheads. Step up to AT4 for off-road-tuned capability, or AT4X for the most advanced hardware — a 3-inch factory lift, exclusive selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials, and underbody cameras that add confidence when the trail gets technical. A high-clearance front fascia with trimmed corners improves approach and breakover angles, while available full LED lighting and fog lamps enhance visibility after dusk. The result is a truck that’s ready the moment your pavement ends, with clear line-of-sight, helpful geometry, and trail-proven systems that help you maintain traction and momentum.

Up to 10 Camera Views With HD Surround Vision and Underbody Cameras

Visibility is confidence, and the Canyon is available with up to 10 camera views so you can see around and even beneath the truck. HD Surround Vision stitches together multiple camera angles to create a bird’s-eye view of your surroundings, which is invaluable when threading through tight spaces or aligning to a trailer. The segment-first underbody cameras — including front and rear views with wash systems — are standard on AT4X and available on other models, letting you spot obstacles tucked below the bumper and visualize your line on rocky sections. Split-screen views can show underbody cameras alongside HD Surround Vision. Additional views, including Front and Rear Top-Down, Front and Rear Side, and Hitch View, give you high-resolution information that reduces guesswork in the city and on the trail.

Driver-Focused Screens, Head-Up Display, and Google Built-in

Information in the Canyon is presented clearly and intuitively. You get an 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen with a reconfigurable layout and Google built-in compatibility, enabling native navigation, Google Assistant voice control, and easy access to apps. An 11.0-inch diagonal Driver Information Center keeps core vehicle data front and center. On AT4 and above, a first-in-class 6.3-inch multicolor Head-Up Display is available, and it’s standard on AT4X and Denali, projecting key info onto the windshield so you can keep your eyes up. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android™ Auto are supported, and features like the Off-Road Performance Display give you real-time data, including 3D pitch-and-roll, tire pressures, and on AT4X, Baja-specific metrics such as g-force, steering angle, and wheel slip indication. It’s a modern, cohesive tech suite designed to minimize distraction and maximize confidence.

MultiStow® Tailgate and Versatile Cargo Bed

Smart storage is built into the Canyon’s bed, starting with the available MultiStow® tailgate storage system that integrates a lockable, drainable compartment right into the tailgate. It’s an ideal spot for securing tools, recovery gear, or wet items after a day on the river. The bed itself is equally thoughtful, with eight standard tie-downs to secure cargo, an available spray-on bedliner for durability, an available 120V bed-mounted outlet for powering tools or camping gear, and an available CornerStep rear bumper for easier access. Need to carry longer items? An available half-gate position helps stabilize lumber or ladders. These details make the Canyon a great daily partner for home projects, business tasks, and adventure logistics alike.
