New Heights with the 2024 GMC Canyon
January 16 2024, Sept-Îles GM
Improved from top to bottom in 2023, the 2024 GMC Canyon maintains its success and boosts its off-road performance with the addition of a new AT4X AEV version. More than just a truck for work, it’s a model that encourages adventure.
Your GMC dealership tells you all about the new Canyon, its TurboMax engine and off-road performance, its design and the interior that awaits you.
A TurboMax Engine with Impressive Torque
While Chevrolet’s Colorado cousin offers three different engine options, the pickup GMC Canyon is the most powerful in the range. It’s equipped with the high-performance version of the TurboMax engine, a 2.7-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. It boasts 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque!
Torque is not only impressive, it’s also among the highest in its class. Regardless of the version you choose, the Canyon offers solid towing and off-road performance.
The GMC Canyon towing capacity reaches up to 7,700 lbs. Payload peaks at 1,590 lbs with the GMC Canyon Elevation.
Furthermore, the engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission ensuring smooth gearshifts. The Canyon not only boasts impressive power but also provides an enhanced driving experience compared to its predecessor. As Antoine Joubert points out in Le Guide de l’auto 2024 :
“The improved level of comfort and soundproofing also make it a much more pleasant vehicle for everyday use, without giving the impression that it’s just a work tool.”

Robust and Functional Design
The new-generation GMC Canyon has a more robust, modernized design overall. Not only aesthetically pleasing, the redesigns have strengthened off-road performance and functionality, notably with higher ground clearance.
The pickup truck is offered in a crew cab configuration with a 5-foot bed. Whether you use it for work or for exploring and adventure, it makes loading easy thanks to a well-designed bed. Standard features include 8 tie-down hooks, a step that facilitates access without slipping, and several optional additions.
You could, for example, add a 120 V outlet, a spray-on liner or even an integrated storage system with the Multistow tailgate! The GMC Canyon Denali is a versatile model that can be customized to suit your lifestyle.
High-End Finishes
