Key Features of the 2026 GMC Canyon

TurboMax® 310-hp Engine and Best-in-Class Standard Gas Engine Torque

Every 2026 GMC Canyon is powered by the standard TurboMax® engine, a high-output, efficient powerplant delivering 310 horsepower and a best-in-class 430 lb.-ft. of standard gas engine torque. That torque comes on strong at low rpm for brisk launches around town and confident passing on the highway, and it pays dividends when you are backing a trailer up an incline or easing through rutted terrain. The max towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs. speaks to the powertrain’s real-world capability, while the carefully calibrated transmission and smart cooling support sustained performance. GMC’s engineering focus on durability shows up in the way the TurboMax® pairs stout output with composed drivability, balancing power delivery with refined response. If your day includes early-morning commutes, mid-day site visits, and weekend towing, the TurboMax® helps the Canyon feel ready without compromise, proving that a midsize truck can deliver full-size confidence.

Factory Lift, Wide Track, and AT4X Front and Rear Electronic Locking Differentials

The Canyon’s stance is not just for show. A standard 2-inch factory lift and wide track contribute to a confident on-road feel and improved clearance off pavement. The geometry helps the Canyon manage approach and breakover angles with composure, while the high-clearance front fascia supports obstacle negotiation. For those who want the most aggressive setup, AT4X raises capability with a 3-inch factory lift and exclusive selectable front and rear electronic locking differentials. With both axles capable of locking, AT4X can deliver torque where it’s needed most when the terrain loosens and traction varies. This hardware advantage is matched by underbody protection and components selected for rugged duty, so the Canyon’s off-road credentials go beyond appearance. Whether you are navigating a muddy jobsite or a rocky forest road, the factory-engineered suspension and differential technology provide control you can feel from the driver’s seat.

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

Camera technology transforms how you maneuver and explore with the Canyon. Available HD Surround Vision stitches together multiple views to provide a bird’s-eye perspective that makes parking and tight-spot trail navigation easier. The Canyon goes a step further with up to 10 available camera views, including segment-first underbody cameras that show front- and rear-facing views beneath the vehicle. These underbody cameras can be viewed alongside HD Surround Vision on a split screen to deliver context above and below—priceless when cresting ledges or selecting a line around obstacles. Additional views like Front Top-Down, Rear Top-Down, Front and Rear Side Views, Hitch View, and standard HD Rear Vision Camera build confidence for both daily tasks and weekend fun. The system is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Canyon’s infotainment interface so you can get the angle you need at the moment you need it.

Driver-Focused Screens: 11.3-inch Center Touchscreen, 11.0-inch Driver Information Center, and 6.3-inch Head-Up Display

The Canyon’s cabin is designed around the driver’s needs. The standard 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen anchors the dash with a crisp, reconfigurable interface featuring Google built-in compatibility and voice-activated technology for your phone. Right in front of you, the 11.0-inch diagonal digital Driver Information Center presents customizable gauges and drive data, allowing you to prioritize navigation prompts, trailering status, and off-road readouts. Available on AT4, and standard on AT4X and Denali, the 6.3-inch diagonal multicolor Head-Up Display projects critical information onto the windshield so your eyes stay forward. Combine these with the Off-Road Performance Display—standard across Elevation, AT4, AT4X, and Denali—and you get real-time insights such as 3D pitch and roll, tire pressures, steering angle, G-force metrics, and more, depending on trim. The result is a cockpit that communicates clearly, whether you are in a construction zone or on a trail loop.

Canyon Pro Safety and Available Canyon Safety Plus

Confidence comes standard with Canyon Pro Safety. Key features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, IntelliBeam, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. These systems work together to help you stay aware and respond to changing traffic conditions. For even more assistance, available Canyon Safety Plus adds Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering. This expanded suite shines when lanes are crowded or visibility is compromised by cargo or a trailer. Thoughtful integration means alerts and camera views tie into the Canyon’s screens and controls intuitively. Add available OnStar® Basics and the OnStar One Plan for additional safety services, in-vehicle apps, and a Wi-Fi® Hotspot, and you have a truck that supports you before, during, and after every drive.
