How much does the 2024 GMC Canyon cost?

Prices have softened 7.12% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,727 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and prices.

If you find a listing below $40,948.95, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 GMC Canyon a good car?

With a 3/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating, the 2024 GMC Canyon looks appealing if you want a midsize truck that feels more substantial than most rivals.

The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

It stands out as taller and wider than many midsize pickups, and it is positioned to go farther and work harder than the rest of its class. The cabin materials are excellent, and the truck’s standard equipment list is unusually strong for the segment.

The trade-offs are real: the bed is shorter than competitors’, the back seat is cramped, and the price is high.

With 33.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 GMC Canyon reliable?

The 2024 Canyon is built around a strong turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain, and the expert data describes it as robust enough for towing, hauling, and off-road use.

Its road manners are also a plus: the transmission is well matched, the ride stays composed, and noise is well damped. The expert data also points to impressive braking performance and suspension tuning that helps it handle rough pavement without feeling overly soft.

For maintenance, the expert data notes that the first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the truck’s higher operating costs and premium pricing can make ownership less forgiving if you rack up miles quickly.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 GMC Canyon?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the truck’s equipment matches the trim you’re considering. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important if you’re looking at an off-road-focused version or a truck with added packages. Pay close attention to cabin condition, tire wear, and signs of hard use, since this model’s capability can invite more demanding ownership.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Elevation is the closest thing to a work-truck setup, but it still includes dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel, an 11-inch digital gauge cluster, and an 11.3-inch touchscreen. Higher trims lean more upscale, while the AT4X adds a more serious off-road focus.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses the most powerful version of the turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder, with 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The truck is rated to tow up to 7,700 pounds and carry up to 1,670 pounds.
• Safety package: The Canyon comes standard with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and a rear-seat reminder system. Rear park assist, rear cross-traffic braking, and blind-zone steering assist require an extra package on the Elevation.
• Infotainment: The standard setup includes an 11.3-inch touchscreen, Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and off-road performance display pages. The Denali and AT4X also get a head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: The best-rated setup returns 19 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. The AT4X AEV tester is rated at 16 mpg across the board.

Which 2024 GMC Canyon trim should I buy?

The 2024 GMC Canyon is offered in 4 trim levels: Elevation, AT4, Denali, and AT4X.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The Elevation gives you the core Canyon experience, but some advanced safety features cost extra, and it is the least upscale of the lineup.
• Sweet-spot trim: The AT4 is the best middle ground if you want more capability and standard 4WD without jumping to the highest-priced versions.
• Premium/top trim: The Denali is the best fit if you want the most luxury-oriented Canyon, with a more upscale feel and added premium equipment.
• Off-road trim: The AT4X is the one to choose if off-road hardware matters most, but it is the most expensive path and can be overkill for everyday driving.

The Canyon Safety Plus package is worth noting on lower trims if you want rear park assist, rear cross-traffic braking, and blind-zone steering assist.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 GMC Canyon?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers: pricing has eased, but the best listings still deserve quick attention.

• Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,727 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.12% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 94.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $40,948.95, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 GMC Canyon's resale value?

The current average of $40,936 sits slightly below last year's $44,072.

That price movement suggests the Canyon has softened enough to help used buyers, but it also means sellers may need to be more realistic on asking price. If you plan to resell later, the truck’s premium positioning can help, but only if mileage, condition, and trim are strong.

For future sellers, the biggest advantage is that the Canyon still has a distinct upscale identity in the midsize truck market. The downside is that higher original pricing can narrow the pool of buyers when it’s time to list your truck.

Is the 2024 GMC Canyon safe?

The 2024 GMC Canyon earns an overall four-star rating from NHTSA, with four-star frontal crash ratings, five-star side-impact ratings, and three-star rollover ratings.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

The Canyon comes standard with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and a rear-seat reminder system. Rear park assist, rear cross-traffic braking, and blind-zone steering assist are available only on certain packages or higher trims.

The lower rollover score is the main caveat to keep in mind if safety is a top priority.

Should I buy a 2024 GMC Canyon or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.12% compared with last year.
• The 2024 model adds the AEV package, which boosts off-road capability with 35-inch tires, steel skid plates, and a full-size spare.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $39,305, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $40,936 average.
• It launched the redesigned Canyon with a strong upscale feel and broad capability.

The bottom line: If you want the newest version with the strongest off-road story and you can justify the price, the 2024 is the better pick. If your priority is saving money while still getting the redesigned Canyon formula, the 2023 is the smarter value play.
