Key Features of the 2026 GMC Canyon

TurboMax® Engine With Best-in-Class Standard Gas Engine Torque

At the heart of every Canyon sits the standard TurboMax® engine producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of best-in-class standard gas engine torque. That deep torque arrives early and stays consistent, which helps the truck feel responsive whether you are navigating city traffic or pulling a fully loaded trailer. With a max towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs., the Canyon is built to haul campers, boats, and work equipment with confidence. The powertrain’s balance of horsepower and torque is matched to the Canyon’s chassis tuning, enabling composed acceleration on-ramps, assured passing at highway speeds, and steady power delivery on steep grades. For shoppers who value real-world performance over spec-sheet bragging rights, this engine is the defining advantage.

Up to 10 Camera Views With First-in-Class Underbody Cameras

Available advanced cameras expand visibility in ways that make both trail and daily driving simpler and safer. You can equip up to 10 camera views, including first-in-class underbody cameras with front- and rear-facing views that let you see obstacles underneath the vehicle. These underbody cameras also include wash systems to help keep lenses clear. When you are maneuvering in tight spaces, the split-screen view can combine HD Surround Vision with underbody perspectives for a more complete picture of your surroundings. Hitch View and additional front, rear, top-down, and side views support confident parking, precise trailer alignment, and careful line selection on rugged terrain. If you travel beyond the pavement or tow regularly, these views are much more than gadgets — they are practical tools.

11.3" Touchscreen, 11.0" Driver Information Center, and 6.3" Head-Up Display

The Canyon’s driver-focused screens streamline the information you need. The 11.3-inch diagonal center touchscreen puts navigation, media, and vehicle settings close at hand, and supports Google built-in compatibility alongside Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android™ Auto. The 11.0-inch diagonal Driver Information Center is reconfigurable, so you can prioritize towing data, off-road stats, or efficiency insights based on your day’s plans. A first-in-class 6.3-inch diagonal multicolor Head-Up Display — available on AT4 and standard on AT4X and Denali — projects customizable info onto the windshield, keeping eyes forward on the trail or highway. Together, these screens deliver an intuitive, modern interface that reduces distraction and elevates control.

MultiStow® Tailgate and Versatile Cargo Bed

Canyon’s bed is designed to be useful from the first haul. The first-in-class available MultiStow® Tailgate integrates a storage compartment with a drain, perfect for tools, tie-downs, or even a cooler setup. Eight standard tie-downs help secure gear of varying sizes, while the available CornerStep rear bumper offers sure-footed access. The available half-gate position supports longer items, and an available 120V outlet in the bed adds power at the campsite or jobsite. An available spray-on bedliner helps resist wear and tear. Whether you are loading bikes, lumber, or overlanding gear, the Canyon’s bed elevates everyday utility with the kind of details that make a real difference.

Canyon Pro Safety and Safety Plus

Confidence comes standard thanks to Canyon Pro Safety, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, IntelliBeam, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. When you add Canyon Safety Plus, you can also benefit from Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering. These systems work in the background to support your awareness and response time, and when combined with features like the HD Rear Vision Camera with Hitch View and HD Surround Vision availability, they deliver a wide safety net for crowded commutes, busy job sites, and remote trailheads alike.
