Which GMC Canyon trim should I buy?

• Elevation: The entry trim brings the Canyon’s turbocharged 2.7-litre four-cylinder, eight-speed automatic, standard 4WD in Canada, and a standard off-road suspension with a five-centimetre lift.
• AT4: This trim adds a more off-road-focused setup with mud-terrain tires and the hardware that suits buyers who want stronger trail capability.
• Denali: The Denali shifts the Canyon towards a more premium feel with richer materials and a more upscale cabin presentation.
• AT4X: The AT4X is the most capable and best-equipped off-road version, adding Multimatic DSSV dampers, 27.2 centimetres of ground clearance, electronic locking front and rear differentials, hill descent control, and mud-terrain tires.

What GMC Canyon do most buyers choose?

The GMC Canyon years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2025.

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, colour, and price. They also sit close enough to the current generation to deliver the Canyon’s newer tech and more premium character.

What is the GMC Canyon's resale value?

Most model years in the Canyon lineup are down year over year, and several older versions show especially sharp drops. That pattern can work in your favour if you are shopping used, since it opens up more value in the market. The newer model years are also declining, but by smaller amounts than many older ones.

The 2024, 2025, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Consider waiting if:
