2025 GMC Canyon

The 2025 Canyon lineup begins with the Elevation—clean and confident, wearing a monochromatic body-color grille surround paired with black mesh inserts. The standard 18-inch wheels anchor a balanced stance, while LED signature lighting flanks a high-mounted front fascia engineered for clearance and visibility.

Stepping into the AT4 trim brings a bolder off-road posture with 32-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires on exclusive 17-inch wheels, red vertical recovery hooks, and a factory lift for improved approach and departure angles. Black chrome grille accents and widened fender flares give it a more muscular presence, ready for rugged trails.

The AT4X advances this formula with an even more aggressive suspension setup, Multimatic DSSV dampers, underbody skid plates, and 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels. Unique badging and gloss-black trim elements convey its flagship off-road status without overstatement.

For those seeking sophistication over aggression, the Denali offers chrome detailing across the grille, mirror caps, and side steps, complemented by premium 20-inch diamond-cut aluminum wheels. LED projector headlamps, signature DRLs, and the MultiStow tailgate further elevate its utility-driven elegance.

Every 2025 GMC Canyon is powered by a high-output 2.7L TurboMax I4 engine—delivering a commanding 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. The power curve is robust yet linear, delivering immediate throttle response whether towing, climbing grades, or overtaking at highway speeds.

This engine pairs to an 8-speed automatic transmission engineered for smooth, decisive gear changes. Gear ratios are tuned for both quick acceleration and efficient cruising, making the Canyon equally adept on mountain roads and open interstates.

The combination of displacement, turbocharging, and transmission calibration allows the Canyon to deliver V6-like strength with the efficiency and balance of a well-optimized four-cylinder.

The 2025 Canyon isn’t merely about numbers—it’s about application. The standard 4WD system engages seamlessly, and drive modes adapt throttle mapping, shift points, and traction control to conditions ranging from pavement to rock, sand, and snow.

The AT4 and AT4X bring advanced off-road hardware: factory lift kits, locking front and rear differentials (AT4X), and Multimatic DSSV dampers tuned for high-speed stability over rough terrain. Skid plates guard critical components, while aggressive tire treads bite into loose surfaces without compromising on-road manners.

On pavement, the Canyon’s steering is tight and responsive, aided by a balanced chassis that manages body roll without stiffness. Suspension compliance ensures the truck feels planted, not punishing, when traversing uneven surfaces. Whether negotiating tight city streets in Pueblo or carving high-altitude switchbacks in the Rockies, the Canyon maintains composure and confidence.

Inside, the 2025 Canyon merges work-ready durability with upscale design. The cabin architecture is horizontal and uncluttered, with tactile switchgear placed intuitively within reach.

Elevation models feature durable cloth or available premium cloth seating, while AT4 adds distinctive Jet Black interior trim with Timber accents. AT4X adopts Obsidian Rush with red contrast stitching, and Denali sets a luxury tone with perforated leather-appointed seating, real open-pore wood trim, and laser-etched stainless steel speaker grilles.

The 11.3-inch center touchscreen integrates seamlessly with the 11-inch digital driver information display. Google built-in compatibility, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto are standard. Upper trims feature a premium Bose audio system tuned specifically for the Canyon’s cabin acoustics.

Practicality is embedded throughout—ample storage bins, deep console compartments, and rear seatbacks that fold to reveal hidden cargo space. The cabin remains quiet even at highway speeds, thanks to enhanced sealing and acoustic glass.

All 2025 Canyon models include GMC Pro Safety, offering Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams.

Higher trims expand protection with HD Surround Vision, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. The AT4X includes additional off-road camera views for precise obstacle navigation, while Denali incorporates advanced trailer assistance features.

The Canyon’s safety design extends beyond technology. Its high-strength steel frame and reinforced safety cage provide structural resilience in collision events, while intelligent airbag placement offers coverage tailored to both front and rear occupants.
