The New 2025 GMC Canyon

Every 2025 Canyon has the same muscular powertrain: a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 310 horsepower and a best-in-class 430 lb-ft of torque. This high-output engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The result is a confident, responsive ride if you're pulling a trailer or passing traffic on the highway.

Rear-wheel drive is standard on base models; four-wheel drive is either standard or optional on higher trims. This drivetrain flexibility makes the Canyon ideal for Midwest winters, job site demands, and weekend getaways to Ohio’s rugged backcountry.

The Canyon also delivers decent fuel efficiency for its segment. EPA estimates come in at around 18 mpg city and 23 mpg highway, depending on configuration. Drivers who prioritize power without sacrificing economy will appreciate the Canyon’s balance.

Selectable drive modes enhance traction and performance. Choose between Normal, Tow/Haul, Terrain, or Off-Road depending on your environment. Higher trims like the AT4X take off-road ability even further with additional drive settings and suspension enhancements.

The 2025 GMC Canyon performs in real-world situations. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 7,700 pounds. That’s enough for most travel trailers, ATVs, small boats, or even construction gear.

Payload capacity also holds strong at over 1,640 pounds in certain trims. As such, this allows for confident hauling of tools, materials, camping supplies, or furniture. The bed is more of a versatile platform with practical upgrades.

Integrated tie-downs, LED bed lighting, and a damped tailgate come standard or are available depending on trim. Higher trims also offer in-bed storage compartments and factory spray-on bedliners to keep your gear secure and your bed protected from wear and tear.

The AT4 adds a two-speed transfer case and hill descent control, and the AT4X takes things further with Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear e-lockers, underbody skid plates, and steel rock rails. These features allow the Canyon to confidently navigate mud, rocks, and steep grades.

Trail cameras and an Off-Road Performance Display are also available, which lets you monitor your tire angles, pitch, and roll in real time. It’s a level of capability rarely found in the midsize segment.

Step inside the Canyon and you’ll find a cabin that balances utility with comfort. The only cab option is Crew Cab, which means every model offers full-size interior space. There’s plenty of legroom and headroom for front and rear passengers alike.

Interior materials are rugged yet upscale. Base trims offer durable cloth seating and molded plastics. The higher trims—like Denali and AT4X—introduce leather-appointed seats, contrast stitching, soft-touch surfaces, and genuine wood or aluminum accents.

Front seats can be heated and ventilated, depending on trim, and available dual-zone climate control keeps everyone comfortable. You’ll also find deep door pockets, a large center console, and smart under-seat storage for tools and gear.

GMC designed the Canyon to be practical and pleasant for daily driving or long road trips. Sound insulation has been improved for a quieter ride. Controls are simple, intuitive, and easily accessible.

The 2025 Canyon has a bold look that matches its performance. A tall stance, wide grille, flared fenders, and aggressive LED lighting give it road presence from every angle. Depending on the trim, accents range from sporty gloss black to upscale chrome.

Wheel options span from 17-inch to 20-inch designs. Trims like the AT4 and AT4X feature rugged wheels with all-terrain tires and red recovery hooks. The Denali trim leans toward luxury, with polished aluminum wheels and distinctive chrome touches.

Bed functionality continues to impress. The CornerStep rear bumper makes climbing in and out of the bed easier. A locking tailgate, spray-in bedliner, and remote tailgate release enhance convenience and security.

Roof rails and accessory mounts also allow for carrying bikes, kayaks, and roof boxes (ideal for weekend explorers).

Inside the cabin, technology takes center stage. An 11.3-inch infotainment display is standard across the lineup. It includes Google built-in with Google Maps, voice commands, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. This system is fast, intuitive, and deeply integrated with your digital life.

An 11-inch digital driver display gives you key vehicle info right in your line of sight. From tire pressure to off-road metrics to navigation, it keeps you informed without taking your eyes off the road.

Optional tech features include a Bose premium sound system, wireless device charging, multiple USB ports, and a 360-degree camera system.

GMC Pro Safety comes standard on all trims. This suite includes forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and pedestrian detection. Higher trims offer additional tools like adaptive cruise control, blind zone steering assist, rear cross-traffic braking, and parking sensors.

The Elevation trim is where the 2025 Canyon lineup begins, but don't mistake it for bare-bones. With bold 18-inch wheels, signature LED exterior lighting, and a standard 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Elevation offers modern tech and style right out of the gate.

Its cloth seats are thoughtfully designed for daily comfort, and the turbocharged 2.7L engine delivers responsive power whether you're navigating city streets or open highways. Ideal for budget-conscious buyers who still want capability, connectivity, and GMC's signature design language.

The Canyon AT4 is purpose-built for weekend warriors and off-road explorers. This trim upgrades the Elevation’s foundation with an advanced off-road suspension, a factory lift, and a two-speed transfer case for improved traction on demanding terrain. Underbody skid plates offer vital protection, while 17-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires ensure grip across mud, sand, or snow.

The dark chrome accents and red recovery hooks signal its rugged intent. Inside, the AT4 includes upgraded interior materials, durable all-weather floor liners, and optional heated front seats, blending utility and comfort for adventure-ready performance.

For those who demand luxury without sacrificing truck toughness, the Denali trim is the pinnacle of sophistication in the Canyon lineup. It swaps utilitarian finishes for genuine open-pore wood accents, quilted leather-appointed seating, and soft-touch materials throughout the cabin. Chrome 20-inch wheels, a distinctive Denali grille, and body-color bumpers elevate its exterior presence.

The 2025 GMC Canyon isn’t just for one kind of driver. It’s made for people who tow, explore, commute, and do a little of everything. It’s a truck that can transition from job site to campsite, from grocery runs to weekend adventures.

With its impressive towing ability, trail-ready trims, refined cabin, and leading tech, the Canyon is one of the most complete midsize trucks available today. If you're in Englewood, West Carrollton, or Kettering, this is a truck that works as hard as you do.
