In the crowded world of mid-size pickup trucks, the 2025 GMC Canyon stands out with its powerful turbocharged engine, extra-tough chassis, and stylish, amenity-packed interior. Here’s a quick rundown on each of its three variants.
Exploring the Trim Levels of the 2025 GMC Canyon: Mid-Size Truck Excellence
Elevation
The Elevation may be the base trim, but it offers everything needed to be a versatile pickup. Just as with the AT4 and Denali models, its powertrain comes in the form of a 310-hp 2.7L TurboMax inline-4 engine that’s paired with an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission. The standard automatic locking rear differential is capable of detecting wheel speed and locking both rear wheels in order to maximize traction.
The option of a robust 4WD system comes with an Autotrac transfer case featuring 4WD HI mode that puts the motor’s torque output of 430 lb-ft to good use. A standard off-road-tuned suspension with a 2-inch lift contributes to the Elevation’s ability to tackle harsh trails. Inside the spacious cabin, you’ll find premium cloth-wrapped seats and an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen from which you can access wireless smartphone integration and Google built-in.
AT4
Meant for serious off-roading enthusiasts, the AT4 boasts numerous enhancements that ensure greater control and confidence when venturing into the most rugged environments. Its standard 4WD system is complemented by a 2-speed Autotrac transfer case with 4WD LO mode for increased torque in instances where you’re plowing through mud or crawling over large rocks.
Other desirable off-roading aids on the AT4 include a hill descent control system and drive modes like Terrain and Off-Road that optimize handling for specific conditions. While it’s available on the Elevation, the MultiStow Tailgate becomes standard on the AT4, giving you a handy, drainable storage compartment for you to store tools or supplies. Adding a layer of comfort are standard heated seats and 8-way power adjustability for the driver’s seat.
Denali
An especially luxurious experience awaits you inside this tricked out model! The Denali’s top-notch features range from perforated leather upholstery and ventilated front seats to a Bose premium sound system and the HD Surround Vision camera system. A 6.3-inch heads-up display makes it easier for you to view important vehicle information while keeping your eyes on the road.
As for the exterior, the Denali differentiates itself from the other Canyon models with its additional chrome accents and 20-inch dark gray-finished wheels featuring stylish diamond cuts. 5-inch chrome assist steps help with entering and exiting the vehicle.
