Why it stands out

The 2020 GMC Canyon stands out as a midsize pickup that leans harder into refinement and capability than many shoppers might expect from a smaller truck. It was part of the second generation, which arrived in time for the 2015 model year, and that generation gave the Canyon a more traditional pickup look with upright body panels that made it appear larger than it really was. By 2020, the Canyon had also built on its reputation for a more luxurious feel, especially in higher trims, while still offering the manoeuvrability and lower running costs that can make a midsize truck appealing for city use.

For 2020, the Canyon’s lineup included the Elevation, AT4, and Denali trims, each aimed at a different kind of buyer. The AT4 brought off-road hardware such as all-terrain tyres, an off-road-tuned suspension, a locking rear differential, hill descent control, and front recovery hooks, while the Denali focused on a more upscale presentation with leather seats, chrome accents, and a smarter interior. The model also benefited from the 2019 infotainment overhaul that made Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard, and 2020 added a remote-locking tailgate to the available features list. That mix of technology, comfort, and capability is a big part of the Canyon’s appeal.

There are trade-offs, though. The Canyon was more expensive than its Chevrolet Colorado twin, and the guide notes that it does not stand out from other trucks in utility and off-road capability. Fuel economy was respectable rather than class-leading, with Natural Resources Canada rating it at 13.6 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 11.0 on the highway, and 12.4 combined. Even so, for buyers who want a smaller pickup with a more premium feel and a broad range of trims, the 2020 GMC Canyon offers a distinctive blend of practicality and polish.
