2023 GMC Canyon

GMCs SUVs and trucks are versions of Chevrolets with different badges, different styling, and some extra luxury features. Overall, though, GMCs don’t often stand out, equipment-wise, from their mechanical siblings. Like many Chevrolets, GMC vehicles’ interiors are spacious and comfortable thanks to large exterior dimensions. Its SUVs range from compact models like the Terrain up to the three-row Yukon XL, which can carry up to nine passengers and their luggage—no small feat. GMC’s pickup truck line ranges from midsized models like the Canyon and the popular Sierra 1500, and goes all the way up to commercial-grade “dually” trucks with four rear wheels. The brand has also begun introducing EVs, including an all-electric pickup and the enormous, heavy Hummer EV, which is sold as either a pickup or SUV. Both used and new GMC models rank below average in Consumer Reports’ ratings for predicted reliability.

A twin to the Chevrolet Colorado, the 2023 redesigned Canyon is positioned as slightly more upscale. Like the Chevrolet, the Canyon is available only as a crew cab. It's powered by a 310-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired to an eight-speed automatic. Buyers get a choice of rear- or four-wheel drive. For off-road use, several trims provide progressively increased ground clearance and capability, culminating in the new AT4X. Every truck features an 11.3-inch infotainment screen, with related apps for off-roading and trailering. 2025 brought a larger 11-inch driver screen. AEB with pedestrian detection and AEB highway are standard. BSW and RCTW became standard in 2025.
