• Infotainment: GMC equips the Canyon with a standard 11-inch digital driver display and an 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in technology, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Which GMC Canyon trim should I buy?

The 2026 GMC Canyon offers these trims:

• Elevation: The entry trim uses rear-wheel drive, and it’s the best-value starting point if you want the Canyon’s core power, tech, and standard off-road suspension without moving up the price ladder.
• AT4: This trim adds a more rugged setup with standard 4WD, mud-terrain tires, and off-road-focused hardware for buyers who want stronger trail capability.
• Denali: This version leans into a more upscale cabin and richer materials, making it the trim to choose if comfort and premium presentation matter most.
• AT4X: The top off-road model adds Multimatic DSSV dampers, electronic locking front and rear differentials, hill descent control, 10.7 inches of ground clearance, and mud-terrain tires for the most serious trail use.

What GMC Canyon do most buyers choose?

The GMC Canyon years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a wider selection of trims, prices, and equipment levels. They also sit close enough to the newest redesigns to deliver modern features while still offering more used-market value than brand-new inventory.

What is the GMC Canyon's resale value?

Most Canyon model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to benefit from softer pricing. The declines are strongest on several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older models are changing more slowly. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful value across much of the lineup if you compare trims carefully.

The 2016, 2017, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
