Key Features of the 2026 GMC Canyon

TurboMax 310-HP Engine and 430 lb-ft of Torque

At the heart of every Canyon is the TurboMax® engine delivering 310 horsepower and a best-in-class standard gas engine torque rating of 430 lb-ft. That torque shows up where you use it, giving the Canyon confident off-the-line punch, confident merging, and stout trailering response up to 7,700 lbs. When you’re towing a boat to the reservoir or a camper into the foothills, the powertrain’s smooth, low-end muscle makes the work feel easier. Paired with smart trailering tools like Hitch View, an HD Rear Vision Camera, and the available In-Vehicle Trailering App within the GMC Infotainment System, the Canyon turns complex hookups and checks into a more streamlined, confidence-inspiring process. It’s a compelling power and tech combo for both daily duty and weekend adventure.

Standard 2-Inch Factory Lift and Wide Track

Every 2026 Canyon arrives trail-ready with a standard 2-inch factory lift and wide track that improve approach angles and stability without sacrificing on-road comfort. The stance looks assertive and serves a purpose, helping the truck clear obstacles and feel planted at speed. For drivers who crave even more capability, AT4X models deliver a 3-inch factory lift, expanded ground clearance, and selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials. Add in optimized front fascia corners for improved breakover, available CornerStep rear bumper for easy bed access, and available 120V bed outlet for gear, and you have a setup that’s as functional as it is athletic.

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

Visibility is capability. Canyon offers up to 10 available camera views including HD Surround Vision, Hitch View, top-down perspectives, side views, and segment-first underbody cameras that show front and rear views beneath the truck. The underbody cameras include wash systems and can display a split-screen view alongside Surround Vision to help you see obstacles and line placement as you crawl. Whether you’re navigating tight parking or picking your line on rocky terrain, this system reduces guesswork and increases confidence. It’s a standout feature for Colorado’s blend of urban, rural, and off-grid driving.

11.3-Inch Touchscreen, 11.0-Inch Driver Information Center, and Head-Up Display

The Canyon’s cockpit is centered on clear, configurable screens that keep essential information in view without distraction. The 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen with Google built-in compatibility brings integrated navigation, apps, and voice assistance together. The 11.0-inch diagonal Driver Information Center keeps customizable vehicle data front and center. An available first-in-class 6.3-inch diagonal multicolor Head-Up Display projects key info onto the windshield and is standard on AT4X and Denali. Together, these screens make the cabin feel modern and intuitive, simplifying every drive from weekday errands to remote waypoint routes.

Canyon Pro Safety and Safety Plus

Confidence is standard thanks to Canyon Pro Safety, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, IntelliBeam, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. The available Canyon Safety Plus package adds Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, expanding your protection net during low-speed maneuvers, backing, and towing. Add up to 10 camera views with HD Surround Vision and the driver-awareness layer becomes even stronger. It’s a thoughtful blend of alerts, assistance, and visibility tools that help you stay aware and in control.
