In addition to its upgraded exterior styling, the interior of the Canyon Denali will feature a jet black color scheme with leather-appointed, heated, and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a full-color driver’s display, automatic climate control, and Denali-logo sill plates and floor mats.
GMC Canyon Performance
New Engine
A new available 3.6-liter V6 engine is designed to offer drivers more confident acceleration. Mated to a new eight-speed transmission, GMC boasts that the shifting experience will be smoother than before. The powertrain is rated to achieve 308 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque – both slight increases over the old V6.
Excellent Trailering Capacity
The 2017 Canyon will deliver great towing capacity when equipped with the V6 or the available 2.8-liter turbodiesel. With the V6, the Canyon supports a 7,000-pound max trailering rating. With the diesel, it's rated at 7,700 pounds.
New All Terrain X Package
The 2017 Canyon will be offered in an SLE trim level with available All Terrain X package, giving buyers the opportunity to make their compact truck more rugged. The package includes an off-road suspension and transfer case shield, hill descent control, a spray-on bedliner, step bars, unique 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and all-weather floor liners. Note that this package will only be offered with the V6 and turbodiesel engines.
