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

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: Our AT4X’s Natural Resources Canada-rated 14 litres per 100 kilometres combined is on par with a full-size GMC Sierra with 4WD and a V8 engine.

Which GMC Canyon trim should I buy?

The 2026 GMC Canyon offers these trims:

• Elevation: The entry trim brings the turbocharged 2.7-litre four-cylinder, eight-speed automatic, standard four-wheel drive in Canada, an 11-inch digital driver display, an 11.3-inch Google built-in touchscreen, and a broad safety suite. It suits buyers who want the Canyon’s core capability and tech in the most accessible package.
• AT4: This trim adds a more off-road-focused setup with mud-terrain or all-terrain tyres, a lifted suspension, and the rugged character that suits buyers who want trail-ready hardware without moving to the top model.
• Denali: The Denali adds richer interior materials and a more upscale presentation, making it the best fit if you want the Canyon’s premium side and a more polished cabin.
• AT4X: The AT4X adds Multimatic DSSV dampers, 27.2 centimetres of ground clearance, electronic locking front and rear differentials, hill descent control, mud-terrain tyres, and a Safety Alert Seat. It is the best choice if you want the most serious off-road capability and the most fully equipped Canyon.

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 the most popular because they give you the broadest mix of availability, pricing, and feature content. They also sit close enough to the current generation to appeal to shoppers who want newer tech and a more modern cabin.

What is the GMC Canyon's resale value?

Most Canyon model years are showing meaningful year-over-year price declines, which can work in your favour if you are shopping used. The newer models are falling too, but by smaller percentages than many older years, which suggests stronger demand for the latest trucks.

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

Should I buy a used GMC Canyon now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: GMC equips the Canyon with a capable turbocharged 2.7-litre four-cylinder engine generating 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. It’s connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and, in Canada, standard four-wheel drive (4WD).
• Tech: 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.

• Starting price: Prices range from $55,243 to $72,243, including the $2,600 destination charge and other fees.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
