2026 GMC Canyon

The 2026 GMC Canyon is offered in several trims designed to suit different priorities. The Elevation trim provides a solid foundation with practical features and modern styling. Stepping up, the AT4 trim is built for adventure, adding off-road-focused hardware and aggressive design elements. At the top of the lineup, the AT4X delivers maximum off-road capability with specialized suspension components, unique exterior accents, and a more premium interior feel. Each trim builds on the Canyon’s core strengths, giving buyers the flexibility to choose a truck that matches their work, play, or daily driving needs.

All 2026 GMC Canyon models are powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, delivering strong and responsive performance. This engine produces 310 horsepower and an impressive 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The high torque output at low RPMs gives the Canyon confident acceleration, strong towing capability, and smooth power delivery whether you’re hauling gear or navigating highways along California’s Central Coast.

Performance is a standout feature of the 2026 Canyon. With available four-wheel drive, selectable drive modes, and a durable suspension setup, the Canyon is ready for a variety of driving conditions. Properly equipped models offer solid towing capability for boats, trailers, or outdoor equipment. Off-road-focused trims like the AT4 and AT4X add enhanced suspension tuning, skid plates, and traction-focused components, making them well suited for trails, dirt roads, and rugged terrain beyond city limits while still remaining comfortable on pavement.

Inside, the 2026 GMC Canyon combines toughness with refinement. The cabin features a clean, modern layout with an emphasis on technology and comfort. A large center touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ comes standard, along with a digital driver display that keeps key information easy to view. Higher trims add premium materials, contrast stitching, heated seats, and unique interior accents. Thoughtful storage solutions and supportive seating make the Canyon comfortable for both daily driving and longer trips.

Safety and driver-assist technology are built into the 2026 Canyon to help provide peace of mind. Standard and available features include forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear-view camera. For drivers who tow or venture off-road, available trailering and camera technologies help improve visibility and control. Together, these systems support confident driving whether you’re navigating busy streets or heading out on an adventure.
