2026 GMC Canyon Trim Levels

The 2026 GMC Canyon is available in four distinct trim levels, each designed to deliver a different balance of capability, comfort, and refinement. No matter which trim you choose, every Canyon is built on a solid foundation with the TurboMax engine capable of 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, a standard 2” factory-installed lift, along with impressive display screens and interior features.

2026 GMC Canyon Elevation

The Elevation trim serves as the starting point in the Canyon lineup, but delivers strong performance and modern design. Power comes from GMC’s 2.7L TurboMax engine, producing impressive horsepower and torque for confident acceleration and towing. The Canyon Elevation is the only Canyon available in rear-wheel drive, with four-wheel drive available for drivers who want added capability.

Inside, the Elevation features a clean, functional cabin with a digital driver display and a large center touchscreen designed to keep navigation, media, and vehicle settings easy to access. This trim is a great fit for drivers who want a well-equipped midsize truck that handles everyday driving, jobsite duties, and light trail use.

2026 GMC Canyon AT4

The GMC Canyon AT4 trim adds additional off-road focused features. Four-wheel drive comes standard, along with off-road-tuned suspension, skid plates, and exterior design elements that reflect its trail-ready focus. The AT4 keeps the Canyon usable for both recreation and work, offering strong towing capability while adding hardware designed to handle uneven terrain, dirt roads, and challenging conditions.

This trim blends rugged capability with everyday comfort, making it a solid choice for drivers who want a midsize truck that looks the part of an off-road pickup without sacrificing practicality.

2026 GMC Canyon AT4X

The AT4X is the most off-road capable Canyon in the lineup. It builds on the AT4 foundation with specialized upgrades intended for serious trail use. The AT4X includes Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic locking differentials, additional underbody protection, and aggressive tire and wheel combinations designed for traction and durability.

For drivers who want even more capability, the available AT4X AEV Edition adds distinct off-road equipment, increased ground clearance, reinforced skid plates, and AEV-specific components designed to withstand demanding terrain. The AT4X is targeted at drivers who want a factory-built off-road truck that is ready for challenging trails without the need for aftermarket modifications.

2026 GMC Canyon Denali

At the top of the Canyon lineup, the Denali trim shifts the focus toward refinement and premium features. While it retains the same TurboMax engine and strong performance as other trims, the Denali stands apart with upgraded interior materials, leather-appointed seating, and advanced technology like HD Surround Vision and a multicolor Head-Up Display.

Features like a Bose premium audio system, expanded digital displays, and available head-up display elevate the driving experience. The Denali is ideal for drivers who want midsize truck capability with a more polished, luxury-oriented interior for commuting, long drives, or business use.

Powertrain and Interior Highlights

All 2026 GMC Canyon trims are powered by the TurboMax 2.7L engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This setup delivers strong low-end torque, smooth shifting, and consistent performance across the lineup. The interior has been designed with usability in mind, featuring a modern layout, improved storage solutions, and intuitive controls that make the Canyon easy to live with day to day.
